I emergency permit and it is staff's recommendation that the seawall not be extended except for the Simpson residence. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, that the Board grant an emergency permit for the 6 residences upon receiving site plans showing the location and height of the wall. Under discussion, Commissioner Adams wished to amend the Motion to include the approval subject to the conditions set out in our criteria for the issuance of an emergency seawall permit. Director Davis affirmed that the property owners would have to meet all the conditions. Dirk Parvis, owner of the first house south of the seawall permitted for 8 property owners at Summerplace, believed the DEP visited the site and indicated that the seawall would have to be increased in height. Commissioner Adams wished the DEP had communicated with the County at that time. Vince Bruno, representing Dr. Simpson, pointed out that the Simpson residence is in the most precarious position today. This is an emergency. He agreed that the height of the seawall is most important, but there are 6 people who are willing to pay to have this wall extended while the equipment is in place. He urged the Board to issue a permit to have the wall extended southward to protect the 6 residences there. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Adams felt we need to address the height increase on the permitted seawall and get some resolution to that. She would like to see this come back in 2 weeks with something from DEP indicating their approval of the height increase. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously requested staff to bring this matter back to the Board in 2 weeks with justification for the increased height on the wall that has already been built. 44 JANUARY 28, 1997 �a mE 11-9
