The <br />reason he asks is that the state in September essentially is <br />going to put a moratorium on boat slips and number of parking <br />spaces at boat ramps until you develop such plans. <br />Commissioner Bowman felt this is covered in Policy 7.5 and <br />Policy 7.6. <br />Mr. Keifer believed that is directed towards the speed zone <br />itself, and what the state wants is for you to develop a plan. <br />He felt we must recognize we have to consider putting together <br />such a plan. <br />Planner DeBlois noted that Policy 7.8 does address that in <br />some degree, and Director Keating felt we could expand 7.8 to <br />include establishing a plan. <br />Mr. Keifer again referred to Policy 7.5 regarding slow speed <br />zones and advised that the Marine Association supports the <br />designation of the Sebastian River as a slow speed zone but would <br />also like to see the southern portion of the Indian River that is <br />going to be "slow speed" outside of the channel set aside for <br />recreational uses. He believed the DNR will allow you to do <br />this. <br />Commissioner Eggert noted that this plan only speaks to the <br />Sebastian River. <br />Mr. Keifer advised that the DNR proposal includes the Indian <br />River, and he would like the Board to call out recreational areas <br />now. He is requesting that the Board through staff keep track of <br />the DNR proposal when it goes to the Cabinet on September 14th <br />AUG 2 <br />55 KOK <br />L- <br />
