M M samples that did not meet the 1' requirement would need to be raised only .49' to .03' to meet the 1' requirement. The County Engineer's summary of the 1' increase requirement is that the benefits outweigh the costs. Therefore, staff recommends a 1' increase, as stated in the proposed ordinance.

County Land Development Regulations (LDRs) presently define liveaboards as vessels inhabited for greater than 7 consecutive days (30 consecutive days if the vessel has no operative means of propulsion). County Code Section 932.07(1) prohibits the regular mooring of liveaboards, except in commercial marinas with approved facilities for that purpose. The proposed revisions were initiated by the Board of County Commissioners because of a code enforcement case that was heard a number of months ago by the Code Enforcement Board and County Commission. Specifically, a homeowner with river canal frontage (North Island Harbor Drive) was leasing.a boatslip to friends. The friends stayed on a boat overnight as it was moored, but for no more than 7 consecutive days at any given time. Neighborhood residents complained, and staff was asked by the County Commission to review the County's definition of liveaboard vessels. The proposed ordinance would revise the definition of live - aboard to include vessels inhabited for 7 or more days (whether consecutive or non-consecutive) within a 30 day time period. For enforcement purposes, the revised definition provides criteria for establishing a presumption of inhabitance. Staff recommended to the Planning and Zoning Commission that liveaboards be defined to also include vessels inhabited for 3 or more consecutive days. The Planning and Zoning Commission , however, voted to exclude the proposed 3 consecutive day threshold, indicating that it was too restrictive to allow for extended weekend visitors, and indicating that the inhabitance threshold of 7 days total within a month is more reasonable and would eliminate the enforcement loophole in the current LDRs whereby the 7 consecutive day threshold can be avoided by a one day excursion on the 7th day (see attachment #5).
