Area P10 <br />This area is located on the northern portion of Orchid <br />Island and generally encompasses the Ambersand Subdivision. <br />The area is proposed to be expanded to include: <br />1) the Collins Hole mosquito impoundment; <br />2) the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge; <br />3) certain submerged lands of the Indian River _ <br />eastward of the Intracoastal Waterway. -- <br />Since the proposed boundary contains wetland areas that the <br />County would discourage from development through the Compre- <br />hensive Plan, the staff has no objection to the boundary as <br />delineated. <br />I <br />Area P10A <br />This area is located on the southern portion of Orchid <br />Island generally to the south of the Moorings to the County <br />line. <br />The area is proposed to be expanded to include: <br />1) all County wetland areas on both sides of the river <br />to the City of Vero Beach; <br />2) all submerged lands within the Vero Beach - Fort <br />Pierce Aquatic Preserve; <br />3) a portion of the Moorings development including <br />the Anchor and South Passage. <br />i It appears that the proposed map of P10A is in error by the <br />inclusion of the Moorings. Under the criteria stipulated in <br />the act, this area is to be considered "developed" and <br />i should be withdrawn from the map. Failure to do so would <br />preclude new housing in this portion of the Moorings from <br />receiving federal flood insurance. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners <br />authorize staff to transmit review comments to the Depart- <br />ment of Interior proposing that the portion of the Moorings <br />development included within the P10A undeveloped coastal <br />barrier area be deleted from that area's boundaries. <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed we need to address the effect <br />of both the U.S. Coastal Barrier Resources Act and recent State <br />legislation with respect to our building limitation height of 35 <br />feet. <br />Commissioner Bird understood that we are going to request <br />the U. S. Dept. of the Interior to adjust their boundary line so <br />that developed portions of the Moorings which appear to be <br />included will not be included. The Board agreed that from the <br />map it appeared that River Shores was included also. <br />57 <br />JUN 12 1985 BOOK <br />61 F� ..2e <br />
