ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: The Planning and Development Division reviews and submits comments on dredge and fill applications to the permitting agencies based upon the following: - The Conservation & Coastal Zone Management Element of the Indian River Comprehensive Plan; - Coastal Zone Management, Interim Goals, Objectives & Policies for the Treasure Coast Reaion: and - The Hutchinson Island Resource Planning & Management Plan. - The Code of Laws & Ordinances of Indian River County The�revisions;as proposedlinclude placing a boat access channel entirely on Mr. Muller Is upland property and connecting it to the existing boat basin on the north end. This design elimi- nates the need to dredge a channel in the Indian River, thereby destroying valuable bottom habitat. Section A -A depicts the creation of new submerged wetlands from existing shoreline property. This will increase water circu- lation, thus generally improving water quality in the proposed boat basin. Two questions, however, remain. Is vegetation proposed to be planted in this area? If so, what type and what methods will be used to insure its survival? The proposed project will require site plan approval from Indian River County, including approval of any modified storm - water management system. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to forward the following comments regarding this project to the D.E.R.: 1) the County has no objection to the project; 2) the type of vegetation within the proposed wetlands should be specified as well as the methods to be used to insure its survival; 3) the project will require site plan approval from the County. Planner Challacombe reported that Mr. Muller has applied for a modification of permit as evidenced by the following letter to the DER: 55 BOOK PAH
