A break -down of costs associated with (1) public access properties ($124,000) related to storm protection benefits, (2) County recreational beach use (40.7 percent or $1,755,400) ascribed to County resident 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. 6.5 SECTOR 7 - SOUTH COUNTY BEACH The total storm protection benefits accruing to Sector 7 beachfront property owners totals $7,478,757. The recreational benefits accruing to beach users is not computed due to the absence of beach users during the times of the beach surveys as reference on Section 3 of this report. Therefore, storm protection benefits account for 100 percent of the total benefits. Recreational benefits, although not estimated herein, would likely only be ascribed to the upland property owners through direct property access, private easements or private street ends. Applying this percent to the initial nourishment costs of $3,321,000 results in the oceanfront property owners paying for the entire cost of the project.

Storm Protection Cost Allocation In Sector 7, for private property, using the Avoided Cost Method of calculating assessments, a property with one (1) percent of the total private property share of the storm protection benefits would pay a total assessment of $33,210.
