SEAWALLS AT SUNDMIPLACE The Board reviewed the following letter dated 1/23/97: Attention: The Secretary Board of County Commissioners 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960 Dear Alice, January 23, 1997 With reference to our conversation today, we hereby request being added to the next Board meeting to address the following: On behalf of the following Summerplace property owners: Brenda and Dirk Parvus 9440 Doubloon Drive Anne E. Strand 9450 Doubloon Drive Peter J. Trimarche 9460 Doubloon Drive Patricia King 9470 Doubloon Drive Richard T. Simpson, Jr. 9480 Doubloon Drive R. Seth McCoy 9490 Doubloon Drive We hereby request a modification to the sea wall permit that was issued by the board in July, 1996, to the 13 property owners north of the pervious sea wall permit issued to 8 property owners at Summerplace. One of the stipulations that the commission imposed on this permit was that the wall must be continuous. Unfortunately some Property owners declined the sea wall and most of their houses are now up for sale. The above 6 property owners are directly to the north of the current sea wall and the modification requested, is to permit the continuation of the sea wall to include the above 6 properties. The resultant sea wall will be a continuous wall covering 14 instead of the current 8 houses in Summeiplace. In compliance with the board's request, we have applied to the Department of Environmental Protection (D.E.P.) for a CCCL permit and the application is still in process. The need for urgent modification to the existing sea wall permit is because time is of the essence as: 1. According to Cangionelli Construction; the current sea wall will be completed in approximately 1 week. 2. If there is no permit to continue with the sea wall, the wall will need to be cut back 35 feet at an additional cost of at least $10,000 and significant destruction of the trees and gardens of the Partys and Worloch residences. 3. The construction equipment will be moved and an additional cost of $25,000 will be incurred by the property owners when the equipment is brought back and set up after a permit is obtained. Therefore, a total of $35,000 in additional costs will be born by the Summerplace property owners if the wall is not continued now. 4. In less than 6 weeks the turtle season will be upon us and this gives the construction company barely enough time to complete the project. 5. The above property owners will endure another storm season and erosion without the protection of a sea wall in fact the erosion may be increased due to the presence of the existing wall. If the sea wall is extended at a later date,.Mr. Cangionelli cannot guarantee compatible steel material which he has available now (using the deposits we have already paid to him) and the aesthetic continuity of the wall cannot be guaranteed. For the above reasons we pray common sense will prevail in modifying the permit and avoid a severe injustice being done to us. Yours truly, Brenda and Dirk Parvus JANUARY 28, 1997 1 BOOK IUJ PAGE "R 42
