i ON MOTION BY Mr. Brognano, SECONDED BY Ms. Caldarone, the members voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend the Board of County Commissioners that staff include verbiage in the annual letter to beachfront property owners that they inform any renter or visitor to their property about the turtle lighting ordinance and the owners were responsible for the actions of anyone on their property. Chairman Polackwich asked the members if anyone wanted to consider greater penalties for vacation rental violators. Nobody expressed interest in doing so and the issue was dropped. Mr. DeBlois noted there were provisions in the IRC Coastal Management element of the code relating to protection of the dune for uses that physically affected the dune, including protection against impacts to sea turtle nests. He added he knew of no other Florida county that went above and beyond the State model ordinance and felt inclusion of a dune illumination restriction area would set a precedent. It was the consensus of the PZC not to recommend an extension of the ordinance to include the dune. Chairman Polackwich inquired if the members were in favor of the County employing an outside attorney to present violations of turtle ordinance enforcement actions by vacation renters to the Code Enforcement Board. None of the members expressed an interest in making the above recommendation. Mr. Boling announced staff anticipated presenting this issue to the BCC on August 18, 2015, or at the Board's first meeting in September, 2015. For clarification, Chairman Polackwich asked for a separate motion not to extend the ordinance to include the dune area. ON MOTION BY Mr. Brognano, SECONDED BY Mr. Stewart, the members voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend the Board of County Commissioners not extend the turtle ordinance to include the dune area.
