Boos 65 FACE 275 1 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 & Poli- cies for the Treasure Coast Region - The Hutchinson Island Resource Planning & Management Plan - The Code of Laws & Ordinances of Indian River County - Chapter 16Q-20, Florida Administrative Code Chapter 16Q-20 of the Florida Administrative Code sets forth specific construction standards for private residential singi.= docks to be located in the Indian River Aquatic Preserve, among which are the following criteria: Any main access dock shall be limited to a maximum width of four (4) feet (16Q-20.04 (5) (b) (1) , F.A.C.) The dock will extend out from the shoreline no further than to a maximum depth of minus four (-4) feet (mean low water) (16Q -20.04(5)(b)(3), F.A.C.) Terminal platform size shall be no more than 160 square feet (16Q-20.04 (5) (b) (6) , F.A.C.) Both of the proposed docks exceed the maximum depth and termi- nal platform size standards of Chapter 16Q-20, Florida Admini- strative Code. The dock proposed by Applicant Falk also exceeds the maximum width requirement for the main access dock. In addition, Section 16Q-20.03(23), Florida Administrative Code, defines a private residential single dock as having a maximum of two (2) boat slips, in contrast to Applicant Falk's proposal to construct a three (3) slip dock. The Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances specifies that residential dock structures are accessory uses to a principal residential use. In order to construct the proposed dock at 142 Anchor Drive, Applicant Falk must first establish a principal structure on* the adjacent lot(s). The dock proposed at 665 Live Oak Road is in the City of Vero Beach and therefore not subject to Indian River County Code requirements. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners autho- rize staff to transmit a letter to the D.E.R. with the follow- ing comments: 1) No dock construction shall be permitted by Indian River County until the requirements of all local ordinances related to dock facilities and mangrove protection have been addressed. 2) Review of the proposed dockage facilities indicates that the projects do not satisfy criteria set forth in Chapter 16Q-20, Florida Administrative Code, relating to the Indian River Aquatic'Preserve.
