CONSENT ITEM <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Joseph A. Baird <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: <br />Stan Boling, AICP <br />Community Developm irector <br />Roland M. DeBlois, AICP <br />Chief, Environmental Planning <br />DATE: February 10, 2015 <br />RE: Approval of State Sovereignty Submerged Lands Fee Waived Lease 5 -Year <br />Renewal for Boat Club Island (Spoil Island IR -25) <br />It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners formally consider the following information at <br />the Board's regular meeting of February 17, 2015. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Boat Club Island, also known as Spoil Island IR -25, is located in the Indian River Lagoon west of the <br />Intracoastal Waterway Channel, approximately one-half mile north of Grand Harbor Marina. The island is <br />owned by the State Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (BTIITF). <br />In March 2010, the Board of County Commissioners approved a five-year "Sovereignty Submerged <br />Lands Fee Waived Lease" with the State for use and maintenance of the southern portion of the island. In <br />June 2013, the Grand Harbor Community Association, Inc. (GHCA) expressed an interest in partnering <br />with the County to repair and maintain docks and other facilities on the island. As a result, the Board <br />entered into a separate but related agreement with GHCA to reflect that partnership. The GHCA <br />agreement is worded to run concurrent with the State submerged lands lease. <br />The Boat Club Island sovereignty submerged lands lease is now up for renewal. To that end, attached is a <br />copy of the lease renewal document for the Board's approval consideration. <br />ANALYSIS <br />As reflected in the lease renewal (and in the previous lease), public access docks on the island (once <br />repaired) are to be used "exclusively for temporary mooring of recreational vessels in conjunction with an <br />upland public recreational area on spoil island IR25." This past December, the Board approved a contract <br />with Summerlin's Marine Construction, LLC to repair the docks for use consistent with the lease. Repair <br />of the docks is expected to be completed this winter/early spring. <br />1 <br />111 <br />
