WiAR 10 1987 Boor, U d - 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 County Chapter 18-20, Florida Administrative Code 1) Application No. 31-130562-4: On January 13, 1983, the County Planning and Zoning Commission granted site plan approval for the Sea Oaks West development. Approved as' part of the site plan was a proposal to construct a 15 slip "T" formation boat dock to extend 110 into the Indian River, subject to government agency permitting. The proposal of a 48 slip docking facility is a substantial increase and change from what was originally approved. In accordance with County zoning ordinances, the new docking facility proposal is subject to site plan review, at which time impacts of the project can be evaluated in detail. Preliminary concerns include impact on seagrass beds in the River, manatee protection, and vehicular traffic/ parking accommodations. In addition to site plan review requirements, the project is to be located in the Indian Indian River Aquatic Preserve and therefore is subject to criteria set forth in Chapter 18-20, Florida Administrative Code, enforced by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). 2) Application No. 31-130467-4: The observation dock proposed in Orchid Isle Subdivision is to be located on common area within the subdivision, and therefore is subject to County site plan review procedures. If man- groves are to be altered, a County mangrove alteration permit is also required before approval. The project is to be located in the Indian River Aquatic Preserve and therefore is subject to criteria set forth in Chapter 18-20, Florida Administrative Code, enforced by DNR. 3) Application No. 31-130621-4: The single family lot at 12436 State Road AlA, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Zito, is bisected by a "finger" wooded wetland approximately 25 feet in width. The wetland is landlocked with no connec- tion to a waterway and has been previously altered by surrounding development. The applicant has received verbal approval from Mr. Frank Buck, of the DER dredge and fill permitting section that the area is exempt from DER, permitting requirements. A County mangrove alteration permit has been .issued by staff in accordance with Chapter 23}, Tree Protection Ordinance, of the County Code; a condition of the permit is that a comparable number of red mangroves will be planted along the Indian River shoreline on the subject property as mitigation for those mangroves to be removed as part of the fill project. In that shoreline mangroves serve a valuable function as aquatic life habitat as well - as shoreline stabilization, it is staff's opinion that the mangroves planted as`mitigation will have a higher eco-. logical value (once matured) than those removed as part of th xoject.
