I II III IV V restoration of tidal exchange between marsh habitat and the Indian River Lagoon; restoration of mosquito control functions and public health values; restoration of water quality; development of adequate nursery habitat for fish; and provisions for adequate flushing. Currently, the plan contains approximately ten acres of non-exempt wetlands proposed to be filled for golf course holes and commercial areas. The applicant proposes mitigation by restoring or creating an equal or greater amount of wetlands in the exempt wetlands and upland areas. This proposal, however, is not consistent with the adopted development order and there- fore, requires that the development order be amended by the Board of County Commissioners. In reviewing the Corps application, staff has also found that the latest estuarine plan proposal by the developer does not coincide with the drawings on the Corps permit application, therefore, it is difficult to adequately review this particular. -- application submittal. It is staff's understanding that the = Corps will forward the most current plans to all the reviewing agencies in the near future. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners autho - - rize staff to forward the following comments regarding this - project to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: 1) The public notice sent to Indian River County on August.15, 1986 does not coincide with the latest plans submitted to the County by the applicant. Indian River County will forward its comments and recommendations upon receipt of finalized drawings by the applicant. 2) The Grand Harbor project is currently under- review by Indian River County and the Treasure Coast Regional Plan- ning Council as a development of regional impact with approval subject to conditions established in its develop- ment order (Resolution 85-128). Based upon the application drawings, the developer must obtain an amendment to the development order from the County and Regional Planning Council as well as approval of the final estuarine plan. Chairman Scurlock asked why the Board was even considering this plan since.it appears it must be modified, and Art Challacombe, Chief of Environmental Planning, explained that he wants the Army Corps to understand that we have our own restrictions in the form of a Planned Residential Development review and that the project is also under review by the Treasure Coast Regional Council. Further, he wanted to reintroduce this matter to the Board because the applic-atat is working towards getting a number of approvals to the Planning & Zoning Commission on September 25th before bringing them to this Board in October. 33 L- SEP 2 1906 BOOK 65 FACE 571
