The Hutchinson Island Planning & Management Plan The Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances Chapter 16Q-20 of the Florida Administrative -Code The dock proposed by Applicant Goode (No. 31-124371-4) on Lot 11 of Seagrove West Subdivision is to be located in the Indian River Aquatic Preserve and, therefore, is subject to the requirements of Chapter 16Q-20, Florida Administrative Code. Staff was unable to determine if the project proposed by Applicant Goode complies with all requirements of the County Code and Chapter 16Q-20, in that drawings of the project were not submitted with the D.E.R application. If mangrove altera- tion is to occur as a result of dock construction, approval by both the Department of Natural Resources and the County is required. The nineteen (19) dockage projects proposed to be located in Riomar Bay Subdivision, Unit Two, -are to be located within the - City of Vero Beach and are not subject to County Code require- ments. The docks are to be on privately owned bottomlands and, therefore, are not subject to Chapter 16Q-20 requirements.

Two are within the City of Vero Beach and therefore are not subject to County Code requirements; 4) The Department of Environmental Regulation and other appropriate agencies should evaluate the potential impact of the projects on ecologically significant submerged bottomlands such as seagrass beds in the Indian River; 5) The Department of Environmental Regulation and other appropriate agencies should consider the potential cumula- tive'impacts of dockage projects upon the Florida Manatee.
