Brandenburg also always told the Board that we can't revisit, and Attorney Vitunac has agreed it is a shady area. Attorney Barkett requested that the Board adopt staff's recommendation with the deletion of condition 2(b). The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard. Public Works Director -Davis wished to bring up the subject of stabilization along the west bank of the barrier island. He noted that when you create a situation where you have docks and boats, you create energy, and he felt there needs to be a stabilization plan for the river bank. Commissioner Eggert asked if this isn't being addressed in conjunction with the Jungle Trail Management Plan, and Director Davis commented that he personally felt there should be a commitment from the operator of a marina or the developer that they will maintain the bank and if erosion occurs, they will fill it back in. If we do get erosion, the Trail will shift eastward. Chairman Wheeler felt docks actually disperse energy from the larger boats rather than do much damage, and Director Davis agreed, but noted that you also will have more localized boats using the area. Discussion continued at length regarding what causes the erosion, and Director Davis felt strongly that there should be a commitment that the developer will maintain the riverbank. If we are asked to stabilize this section now, we have a constraint to work with because of the docking facility in the area. Don Kenney, Planning and Land Development Manager for Sea Oaks, informed the Board that their lease conditions with the state require stabilizing the bank along the dock facility, and those conditions include the head wall, rip -rapping, and a revegetation program in certain areas of their property. The dock facility itself will include wave attenuaters. The state also requires them to provide a specific conservation easement for the balance of their frontage to protect the mangroves.
