McCoy <br />Staff Planner, <br />DATE: March 31, 1989 <br />, AI <br />men <br />iYector <br />Boling AICP <br />Development <br />Current Development <br />SUBJECT: SEA OAKS REQUEST FOR MINOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR A 48 <br />SLIP PUBLIC/PRIVATE DOCKING FACILITY <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular <br />meeting of April 18, 1989. <br />BACKGROUND AND LOCATION: <br />Attorney Bruce Barkett has submitted a request for special excep- <br />tion approval on behalf of Sea Oaks Development Company to con- <br />struct a 48 slip public/private docking facility on the Indian <br />River. The general layout of this facility was previously ap- <br />proved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The applicant has <br />revised the originally approved plan and is now seeking approval <br />for the use as a public/private docking facility. The project is <br />located on the west side of Jungle Trail, adjacent to the proposed <br />Sea Oaks' Mariner's Club which will be located landward of the <br />Jungle Trail. Parking for this facility will be provided on the <br />east side of Jungle Trail near the Mariner's Club. <br />Recently, the Board of County Commissioners approved an ordinance <br />which would allow public/private docks as special exception uses <br />in the RM -6 zoning district, the district within which this <br />development is located. <br />PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: <br />The developer has submitted a special exception application which <br />has been reviewed by staff and considered by the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission. At its regular meeting of March 23, 198% the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-2 to recommend that the <br />Board of County Commissioners approve the request with conditions. <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation differs from <br />staff's, as specified at the end of this report.. The Planning and <br />Zoning Commission moved staff's recommendation with condition 2b <br />deleted. (Note: See draft of Planning and Zoning Commission <br />minutes attached.) <br />The concept of a public/private dock is to provide a certain <br />number of boat slips for public use at privately owned docking <br />facilities. In order to construct docks on publicly owned sub- <br />merged bottom lands, the applicant must enter into a lease with <br />the State of Florida. The agency (the Department of Natural <br />Resources and/or the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund) <br />handling the lease agreement has the ability to encourage the <br />applicant to make slips available to the public by approving extra <br />slips above and beyond the number which would be approved for an <br />accessory docking facility serving a private development. Through <br />the lease agreement, a certain number of slips would then be made <br />available to the public. The ratio of public to private slips <br />will be determined by the Department of Natural Resources and/or <br />APR 181989 <br />27 ROOK 76 PAGE. 616 <br />
