Similarly, the remaining four (4) recreational beneficiary group categories were adjusted to reflect their relative share of the total project benefit. Alternative revenue sources that are identified in Table 19 to pay the cost share for each beneficiary group are shown in relation to their share of the total project costs for Sectors 1 and 2. A break -down of costs associated with (1) public access properties related to storm protection benefits, (2) County recreational beach use ascribed to recreational benefits, (3) overnight and (4) day tourists are summarized to evaluate the potential for total payment using state, local and tourist development tax funds. 6.3 SECTOR 3 - !.'VASASv^ BEACH The total storm protection benefits accruing to Sector 3 beachfront property owners totals $6,243,281 and the recreational benefits accruing to beach users totals $12,970,168.

Applying these percentages to the initial nourishment cost of $2,926,000 results in $951,004 in costs related to storm protection and $,1,975,000 related to recreational benefits.

A summary of the relative degree of benefits ascribed to each beneficiary group is given in Table 20 and illustrated in Figure 8 for Sector 3. Storm Protection Cost Allocation In Sector 3, there is a total of $951,000 in storm protection benefit related project costs representing 32.5 percent of the total combined benefits.
