Kea 'ng, CP <br />Community Dev lop nt Director <br />THRU: Roland DeBloisrpiCP <br />Chief, Environmental Planning <br />FROM: Christine'Panico CT• <br />Environmental Planner <br />DATE: May 30, 1991 <br />SUBJECT: Request for Permission to Utilize <br />Indian River County Riparian Land <br />for a single family dock off <br />Calcutta Drive, In Country <br />Club Pointe Subdivision <br />It is requested that the following data be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular <br />meeting of June 18, 1991. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />On March 13, 1991, Mr. James Thomas of L.A.T. Marine, an agent for <br />Mr. Donald Redfield and Mr. Scott Redfield requested permission <br />from the County to construct single family docks along the east <br />right-of-way of Calcutta Drive in Country Club Pointe Subdivision,.; <br />Unit #1. The Calcutta Drive right-of-way abuts a manmade canal <br />within the subdivision. j <br />Mr. Donald L.*Redfield owns a home on Lot 22, Block 1 of Country <br />Club Pointe, .Unit #2, Platbook 4, Page 60, Public Records of Indian <br />River County. Mr. & Mrs. Scott T. Redfield own a home on Lot 6, <br />Block 2 of the Replat of Country Club Pointe Unit #1, Platbook 4, <br />Page 11, Public Records of Indian River County. <br />Past county policy has been to allow single-family dock <br />construction within the canal along the right-of-way, provided the <br />dock is owned by a resident of the subdivision, and provided the <br />owner signs a waiver holding the county harmless regarding; <br />liability. More recently, the county has implemented the policy of <br />executing a license agreement approved by the Board of County: <br />Commissioners which grants the applicant permission to utilize the. <br />riparian land of Indian River County. <br />On May 10, 1991 county staff performed a field survey of existing <br />docks abutting the Calcutta Drive right-of-way, to record the <br />location of existing and proposed docks. The field survey <br />identified eleven existing docks, and records show two approved <br />docks which have not been built. Docks located at the northern end <br />of the canal were built with a density of up to three docks across <br />from a platted lot, with as little as five feet between docks. <br />ALTERNATIVE AND ANALYSIS: <br />On May 6, 1985, then county attorney Gary Brandenburg advised <br />planning staff of the county's policy to allow private single- <br />-family docks along the Calcutta Drive right-of-way, on a first-come <br />- first -service basis, exclusive to residents of Country Club <br />Pointe,.provided the county was held harmless through a standard <br />waiver. On January 30, 1991 the Board approved the use of a <br />"license agreement" to replace the previously used liability <br />waiver. <br />7 <br />BOOK r���;. `YJ <br />JUN 181991 <br />
