I 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 Region' The Hutchinson Island Resource Planning & Management Plan The Code of Laws & Ordinances of Indian River Count Chapter 16Q-20, Florida Administrative Code The dock project proposed to be located in Cache Cay Subdivision is in the City of Vero Beach and therefore not subject to Indian River County Code requirements. The multi -slip dock facility at Pelican Pointe is proposed to be located in the Malabar -Vero Beach State Aquatic preserve and, therefore, is subject to requirements set forth in Chapter 16Q-20 of the Florida Administrative Code. A staff review of Chapter 16Q-20 indicates that the project as proposed does nor conform to criteria set forth in the rule. The criteria includes: - Main access docks and connecting or cross walks shall not exceed six (6) feet in width (16Q-20.04 (5)(C)(4), F.A.C.) - Terminal platforms shall not exceed eight (8) feet in width (16Q-20.04 (5) (C) (5) , F.A.C. ) In any areas with known manatee concentration, manatee warning/notice and/or speed limit signs shall be erected at the marina and/or ingress and egress channels, according to Florida Marine Patrol specification (16Q-20.04 (5) (D) (10) , F.A.C. ) In addition to Chapter 16Q-20 requirements, it is required that the Pelican Pointe dock facility undergo site plan review prior to County approval, in accordance with the Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances. Staff has not yet determined the extent to which the submerged bottomlands of the proposed Pelican Pointe dock project area will be impacted; the effect of the development on ecologically valuable seagrass beds should be considered. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to transmit a letter to the D.E.R. with the following comments: 1) The private residential dock proposed to be constructed in Cache Cay Subdivision (File No. 31-123053-4) is in the City of Vero Beach and therefore is not subject to County Code requirements. 2) No dock construction shall be permitted by Indian River County for the proposed Pelican Pointe dock facility (File No. 31-123092-4) until the requirements of all local ordinances pertaining to the project have been addressed. 3) Review of the proposed Pelican Pointe dockage facility (File No. 31-123092-4) indicates that the project does not satisfy criteria set forth in Chapter 16Q-20, Florida Administrative Code, relating to the Indian River Aquatic Preserve. 23 AUG 15 1986 BOOK 6 5 FE385
