Your expedient consideration of these comments for inclusion in your final ordinance (or other official county instrument) will be greatly appreciated. We anticipate incorporating these measures by rule unless other equally protective provisions are adopted. Once we have reached agreer;.ent on the final recommended protection areas, it will be important for you to develop accurate legal descriptions for the protection zones, relying upon geographic landmarks, bridges, and other permanent, identifiable reference points, and including latitude and longitude references where, possible. We will need to receive these as soon as possible (but no later than March 11 1990) for inclusion in our rulemaking documents. Additionally, the finalized speed zones will need to be carefully depicted on a 1:40,000 National oceanographic Survey navigation chart, to be submitted as soon as possible (but no later than March 1, 1990). You should outline each zone on the chart using a thin -tipped colored pen while noting the type of each zone (idle, slow, etc.), preferably using different colored pens for different types of zones. The navigation chart will then be used by my St. Petersburg staff to digitize the zones into the Marine Resources Geographic information System. Finally, it will be important to develop and submit an appropriate signage scheme. Our St. Petersburg staff will be available to assist you in this regard. Again, we will need to receive your signage plans as soon as possible (but no Later than March 15, 1990). We can then initiate the necessary state and federal permitting review process so that signage plans receive prompt approval. We recognize the expense involved in adequately posting and marking expansive protection areas. It is our intent to solicit funding to assist east coast counties from the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) to help cover the cost of posting these zones. We will be discussing the details of a joint application to FIND with you in the near future.
