Davis, P.E., �v.. <br />Public Works Director ` <br />FROM: Donald G. Finneyl <br />Engineer Technician <br />DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS <br />SUBJECT: Ambersand and Round Island Dune Crossove <br />REFERENCES: <br />On July 5, 1983 the -,Florida Department of Natrual Resources informed Indian <br />River County that the Florida Legislature appropriated $51,630 to support <br />the County's efforts in dune preservation, pursuant to Chapter 161 Florida <br />Statutes. This grant, combined with $17,209 available from County sources, <br />brings the total project fund availability to $68,838. The project fund <br />by activity focuses on three areas: <br />1) Dune walkovers - $52,200; <br />2) Dune construction - $8,889; <br />3) revegetation - $7,750. <br />Further discussion with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regarding <br />the details of the grant brought out the fact that Indian River County would <br />shift the total available funds within the three activity areas. For example, <br />if construction of dune walkovers exceed the $52,200 figure, the County could <br />utilize the allocations originally earmarked for dune construction or revegetation. <br />Under the rules of the grant, the funds must be expended or under contract <br />for expenditure with the DNR prior to April 1, 1985. <br />The Parks and Recreation Committee on October 13, 1983. unanimously approved <br />the location and preliminary design of the dune crossovers at Ambersand Park <br />and Round Island Park, subject to site plan approval and DNR approval. <br />Ambersand Park <br />Construct a standard 6' wide x 70' long pressure treated wood crossover similar <br />to the Tracking Station crossover (without gazebo) and a wood mulch path <br />leading frau the parking area to the crossover. Estimated cost -$10,000. <br />Round Island <br />The local Catamaran Fleet #49 requested a crossover suitable for carrying <br />their sailboats across the dune. They originally requested Ambersand Park <br />but because of a very limited parking area, they have agreed that Round Island <br />Park would be a better location. A representative of DNR has visited both <br />sites and prefers the Round Island site for two reasons, 1) better access <br />and parking area, and 2) the natural washout is approximately 10 wide and <br />very adaptable to the 10' wide design for a sailboat and pedestrian crossover. <br />22 <br />
