D. Request for State to resurvey the Coastal Construction V , r,( p Control Line O'to°f f'^ The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/1/84: TO: The Honorable Members DATE: October 1, 1984 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners REQUEST FOR STATE TO RE- SURVEY THE COASTAL CON - SUBJECT: STRUCTION CONTROL LINE FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICPWREFERENCES: Cont. Line Planning & Development Director DIS:RMK It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of October 10, 1984. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The Hutchinson Island Resource Planning and Management Plan requires that local governments within the study area and various state agencies undertake certain implementing -activ- ities. While Indian River County has taken action on most of the implementation activities, there are still several areas in which the County must take action. One specific policy in the Hutchinson Island Plan states that "The Counties shall request the State to review and reestablish the coastal construction control line not less than once every five years or following major storm events". The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the location of the CCCL will be changed, when warranted, to reflect the constantly changing coastline of a dynamic barrier island system. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: The staff has prepared a draft letter from the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to the State Department of Natural Resources requesting that the CCCL be resurveyed as soon as possible and then, after that, at least once every three years or following major storm events. Taking such action will result in further compliance by the County with the requirements of the Hutchinson Island Plan. In addition, such action and the resulting survey will ensure that the CCCL is periodically re-established to reflect changing conditions. On September 26, 1984, the Beach Preservation Committee con- sidered this issue. At that time, the Committee unanimously recommended that the County Commission initiate the request, and the Committee further specified that the CCCL surveys should be conducted on a three year basis, and not every five years as required by the Hutchinson Island Plan. For those reasons, the staff feels that the Commission should request that the state undertake a new survey of the CCCL. 7 OCT 10 19W4 BOOK 5 (9 FA,U 564
