40 supporting citrus groves. Other areas proposed for addition to P-10, particularly those areas south of C.R. 510, are charac- terized by urban development, much of which has occu_red in the last three years. Indian River County has an adopted land use plan which provides for low density residential development of the north barrier island, including the area proposed to be added to P-10. To accommodate the planned land use for this area, the County has programmed improvements for this part of the barrier island. In addition, the County has enacted and is developing specific environmental safeguards to protect sensitive natural resources in this area. For the following reasons, the Board of County Colmnissioners feels that the areas proposed for addition to the P-10 Unit be removed from consideration: °Extensive recent development in the area between C.R. 510 and the proposed southern limits of P--10, including: °320 room hotel under'construction 9720 unit condominium project 202 complete 1221 unit condominium project 10t complete; proposed second phase of additional 221 units 068 unit subdivision on Pine Island with infrastructure complete 'several other developments under construction *central water system in place developed with private capital ®central wastewater -system developed with private capital serving 1,000 existing or planned units *Extensive agricultural development and two recently approved subdivisions in the area proposed to be added north of 510. °Adopted land use plan proposing low density residential development *Recent (March, 1987) resetting by the state of the County's Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL); line was relocated substantially landward. °County & state acquisition of several beachfront parcels (comprising more than 4,000 linear feet) in proposed P-10 Unit for recreation purposes. °County adoption of tree protection and dune protection ordinances. *County plans for now mainland - island bridge and for extension of existing central water system to barrier island north of C.R. 510; traffic impact fees for new bridge currently being collected. °Native vegetation protection ordinance for north barrier island in draft form. The County has several specific concerns regarding any expansion of the P-10 unit. First, the County is concerned that the prohibition of providing federal funds or federal assistance to areas in the CBRS would adversely affect the extensive agricul- tural use in the area. Second, the County is concerned that the long-range planning and infrastructure programming for the north barrier island will be adversely affected by the unavailability of flood insurance for the area. Third, the County is concerned that the proposed additions to P-10 are not consistent with the three major purposes of the Act, and that the existing P-10 and the proposed additions to it are part of a developed barrier island as defined by the criteria established by the Department 51
