TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />DATE: October 28, 1981 F1 LE: <br />SUBJECT: Round Island Boat Ramp <br />FROM: �L _ REFERENCES: Petition Attached <br />Neil A. Nelson <br />County Administrator <br />1. Description and Conditions <br />Residents in the area of Round Island Park have requested that a Boat Ramp <br />be built on the river side (west side of the park). There is an existing <br />unimproved road from A -1-A to the proposed site. A large aerial map will <br />be available at the Commission meeting to show the exact location of the <br />proposed ramp. <br />2. Alternatives and Analysis <br />The alternatives for location of this ramp are limited by four (4) primary <br />factors -- access, water depth, parking and mangroves. The two locations <br />which have been studied as possible areas of the ramp are shown on the aerial <br />map. The map also shows the proposed parking area. It is our opinion that <br />only location :41 meets all four of the above requirements in a satisfactory <br />manner. <br />3. Recommendation and Funding <br />The funding required for this project is estimated not to exceed $18,000.00 <br />including the unpaved parking area as shown on the aerial map. Funding will <br />come from the Boating Trust Fund held by the Department of Natural Resources <br />in Tallahassee. These funds come from our share of the boat licenses collected <br />in Indian River County. Our current estimated balance in this fund is $57,000 <br />including the 1981-82 allocation. These funds can only be used for boating <br />related activities -- they do not affect the ad valorem taxes of the County. <br />Recommendations <br />Because we feel that only site ~1 meets the required specifications as <br />outlined, we recommend that the boat ramp be built at that location and <br />that the Commission authorize the Engineering Department commence with the <br />necessary surveys, plans, applicatinn, and permits. <br />NOV 4 199160 P.m 48 PACE 5 <br />
