N <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jason E. Brown <br />County Administrator <br />THROUGH: Roland M. DeBlois, AICP <br />Interim Community Development Director <br />Andrew Sobczak <br />Chief, Environmental Planning & Code Enforcement <br />FROM: Kelly Buck <br />Code Enforcement Officer <br />DATE: October 2, 2019 <br />RE: Windsor Properties Request for Partial Release of Easements on Three Lots in Windsor <br />PD Plat 9 <br />It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners formally consider the following information at its <br />regular meeting of October 8, 2019. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The County has been petitioned by Windsor Properties, owner of two beachfront lots and representative <br />of a third at 10690, 10686, and 10666 Eton Way in Windsor PD Plat 9, for partial release of <br />conservation easements on each lot. The purpose of the partial release of easements request, consisting of <br />release of an eight -foot wide swath on the oceanfront dune portion of each' lot, is to allow for dune <br />crossover structures for beach access on each lot (see attached maps). To mitigate the area of conservation <br />easements proposed for release, the applicant is recording conservation easements of similar area and <br />environmental characteristics on other portions of each lot. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The request has been reviewed by AT&T; Florida Power & Light Corporation; Comcast Cable Services; <br />the Indian River County Utilities Department; the County Road & Bridge and Engineering Divisions; the <br />County Surveyor, the County Planning Division, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. None of the <br />utility providers or reviewing agencies expressed an objection to the requested partial release of <br />easements, conditioned upon the applicant recording replacement conservation easements prior to or <br />concurrent with the release. Therefore, it is staff's position that the requested partial release of easements <br />would have no adverse impact to environmental resource protection on the subject lots or other lots. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board, through adoption of the attached resolution, approve partial release of <br />conservation easements described in the attached resolution, conditioned upon the applicant recording <br />replacement conservation easements prior to or concurrent with recording of the release. <br />Attachments: <br />1. Maps depicting easement portions proposed for release. <br />2. Proposed County Resolution Partially Releasing Easements. <br />ease.bccmemo proj./appl. no. 99100033/85070 18 <br />
