The parcel has no direct ocean frontage, but a thin <br />appendage of the existing Tracking Station Park connects the five <br />acre Indian River Shores parcel to the Atlantic Ocean. The Town, <br />at this time, is requesting permission to construct a dune <br />crossover to the Atlantic Ocean across the County property. Staff <br />has no objection to this request and recommends granting to the <br />Town a beach access easement to the Ocean. <br />J. C. Dorsky, manager of the Town of Indian River Shores, <br />explained that residents from the west side of AIA requested access <br />to the beaches within walking distance of their homes. The Town of <br />Indian River Shores will hold a meeting next Thursday on this <br />matter and he wanted to find out prior to that meeting whether the <br />Commissioners agree to a crossover being constructed across County <br />property. <br />Administrator Chandler indicated that staff has no objections <br />and that the Town of Indian River Shores will pay all costs <br />associated with the project. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked, and Mr. Dorsky confirmed, that the <br />crossover would be available for public use. He mentioned that a <br />gate will be installed, and the gate would be locked at 7:00 p.m. <br />every night. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Tippin to grant permission to the Town <br />of Indian River Shores to construct a dune crossover <br />to the Atlantic Ocean across County property located <br />at the Tracking Station Beach park. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Macht indicated he would like <br />a guarantee that the public would be allowed to use the crossover, <br />and that when the gate.is closed it is closed to everybody. <br />26 <br />
