AUG 81979 BooK 41 F},GE 351 COMMISSIONER LYONS POINTED OUT THAT THE BOARDWALK WOULD BE BUILT HIGH ENOUGH THAT THE SEA OATS CAN GROW AROUND AND UNDERNEATH IT. HE FELT IF THE BOARDWALK DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY ACROS-S, IT LEAVES A WAY TO GET THE BOATS OR THE DUNE BUGGIES OVER THE BLUFF. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT WE CAN PROVIDE A WAY FOR THE BOATS. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS DID NOT FEEL YOU SHOULD LAUNCH BOATS THROUGH THAT PARTICULAR PARK WHERE YOU HAVE MANY PEOPLE AND CHILDREN PLAYING. HE SUGGESTED THAT WE MIGHT TRY TO WORK OUT A LAUNCHING RAMP AT AMBERSAND BEACH PARK. MR. FULFORD FELT THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT IT IS T00 SHALLOW UP THERE, AND HE NOTED THAT THEY ARE JUST TALKING ABOUT SMALL JOHN BOATS. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, THOSE PRESENT STATED THAT THEY DID NOT MIND THE BOARDWALK BEING EXTENDED ALL THE WAY ACROSS. EDDIE DILLARD POINTED OUT THAT PEOPLE GO AROUND BEHIND THE BATHHOUSE AND DOWN THE BEACH. ASSISTANT PLANNER DAVID MARSH FELT THAT THE PILINGS AND WIRE CAN BE RELOCATED TO STOP PEOPLE FROM GOING THROUGH THERE. COMMISSIONER LOY FELT THAT MR. DILLARD IS SAYING THAT WHEREVER WE STOP, PEOPLE WILL GO AROUND, AND FELT THERE IS NOT MUCH WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT UNLESS WE HAD A FENCE ON THE SOUTH AND JOINED THE FENCE AND THE BOARDWALK TOGETHER. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE COUNTY CAN ONLY PUT IMPROVEMENTS ON OUR OWN PROPERTY. HE ASKED IF WE ARE GOING TO GO WITH THE PILINGS AND THE CABLE INSTEAD OF THE FENCE TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM DRIVING THROUGH. DISCUSSION AROSE ABOUT BEACH BUGGIES, AND THE STATEMENT WAS MADE THAT UNDER STATE LAW YOU CANNOT DRIVE A VEHICLE PAST THE COASTAL SETBACK LINE, WHICH IS ABOUT 50' FROM HIGH TIDE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS TO REMOVE THE FENCE, MAKE AN EFFORT TO REMOVE THE PILINGS IN THE WATER, AND PROVIDE ACCESS STEPS TO THE BEACH AND BUILD A BOARDWALK, COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WISHED EVERYONE TO UNDER- STAND THAT HE IS RESPONDING TO THE RECOMMENDATION OF A FELLOW COMMISSIONER
