1987 BOOK 68 rr)E 465 <br />agricultural programs may be denied to grove owners whose groves <br />are in the CBRS unit. • <br />Designation of the proposed area as part of the CBRS would <br />reduce development on the north barrier island, thereby putting <br />less pressure on the island's sensitive natural resources (beach <br />and dune system, estuarine wetlands, native vegetation, and <br />lagoon) and reducing the number of persons at risk from a major <br />storm event. Conversely, designation would conflict with <br />existing County plans for low density, controlled residential <br />development on the north barrier island. In the last several <br />years, the County has taken a number of actions to ensure that <br />such growth would meet the County's environmental protection <br />objectives. These actions have included: ` adoption of a tree <br />protection (including mangrove and dune protection) ordinance; <br />adoption of policies, plans, and ordinances to comply with <br />Hutchinson Island Plan requirements; adoption of more stringent <br />stormwater criteria for systems discharging to outstanding <br />Florida waters; preparation of a draft natural vegetation <br />protection ordinance for the north barrier island; and ini- <br />tiation of utility infrastructure planning for the area. <br />Given these considerations, the staff has prepared a re- <br />sponse/comment letter to the DOI for signature by the chairman. <br />As drafted, this letter would recommend deletion of the existing <br />P-10 unit from the CBRS and elimination of the proposal to <br />increase the limits of the P-10 unit. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners author- <br />ize the chairman to sign and transmit the attached letter. <br />M <br />M <br />`l <br />10 <br />M <br />PROPOSED ADDITION <br />TO THE <br />COASTAL BARRIER RESOURCES <br />UNIT P10 <br />W <br />Eslatlno Coeelsl Barrlar <br />Re$ouroee 8yelom Unil Pro <br />Proposed Addition <br />To Tae Cosetel Carrier !' <br />Resources Unit Pro <br />W <br />
