Staff and Commissioner O' Bryan addressed Ms. Trimarche's concerns. <br />William Troxell, 916 Orchid Point Way, Town of Orchid Council Member and <br />representative to the Beach and Shores Preservation Committee, read into the record the Town of <br />Orchid's Resolution 2009-07 (copy on file), adopted on October 19, 2009, and pertaining to the <br />Sector 3 Beach Renourishment Project and the area of beach fronting the Town of Orchid <br />consisting of Monument R34, R35, and R36. Reading from the aforementioned document, Mr. <br />Troxell conveyed the disappointment of the Town of Orchid that due to the use of upland sand, <br />"...the Town's beach and shoreline at Monument R34 would be penalized 88.6% of its <br />renourishment volume..." and presented the Town's request that... "any application of <br />renourishment sand to Sector 3 beaches include the full complement of sand..." <br />Further discussion ensued on gaining the support of the local U.S. Fish and Wildlife <br />Bureau. Also mentioned was the cooperation of Ranger Construction, Inc., and the sand miners, <br />who have worked to filter the appropriate grade of sand from their mines, and who are willing to <br />have the sand utilized where appropriate, even if the sand is not apportioned in equal amounts. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan noted that Coastal Technology consultant Michael Walther <br />would be evaluating the different sands and bringing back a recommendation next week. <br />Louise Schmidt, Condominium owner in the North Beach area, said that nearby <br />homeowners are in desperate shape, and begged the Commissioners to get the Project done. <br />Commissioners Wheeler and Davis encouraged residents to notify their State legislators <br />and request their support. <br />No Board Action Required or Taken <br />21 <br />October 20, 2009 <br />
