�.T 3 1966 County records indicate that a principal structure does not presently exist on the subject property. Section 25.1(C)(7), Appendix A, Zoning, of the Code of Laws and Ordinances of Indian River County requires an administrative permit for docks constructed prior to the construction of a principal single-family dwelling unit. Also, if mangroves are to be altered in association with the project, a County mangrove alteration permit is required prior to construction. Staff review indicates that the proposed dockage project is to be located within the Indian River Aquatic Preserve. Section 16Q-20.04(5) of the Florida Administrative Code sets forth specific standards and criteria for private residential docks s constructed within the Aquatic Preserve. Preliminary review indicates that the project as illustrated in the application meets 16Q-20 standards. The information presented in part 7(A)(2)(a) of the appli- cation, describing the proposed pier length ("60 feet") and width ("four & eight") does not correspond with the submitted drawing of the dock (length 50 feet, w�4 idth ._ feet), THi— discrepancy should be clarified prior to permit issuance. The extent to which the submerged bottomlands of the proposed project area will be impacted has not been determined; the effect of Indian River development on ecologically valuable seagrass beds should be considered. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to forward the following comments regarding this project to the Florida Department of Environmental Regu- lation: 1) Construction of the proposed dockage project will not be Permitted by Indian River County until County regulations regarding dock construction -and mangrove alteration (if applicable) have been satisfied. 2) The Department of Environmental Regulation and other appropriate agencies should coordinate with the D.N.R., in that the project as proposed is located in the Indian River Aquatic Preserve and therefore subject to require- ments of Chapter 16Q-20, Florida Administrative Code. 3) The information presented in part 7(A)(2)(a) of the application, describing pier length and width, does not correspond with dimensions illustrated in the.drawing of the project, and should be clarified. . 4) The Department of Environmental Regulation and other appropriate agencies should evaluate the potential impact of the project on ecologically significant submerged bottomlands such as seagrass beds in the Indian River.
