I <br />BOOK 108 PAGE 154 <br />Bottom line is that it involves a lot of self-help <br />and as you have found out, the guy across the highway doesn't much <br />care. I hate to say it, but if there are any distress sales it's <br />probably a good time to buy - people forget in @ hurry <br />Keep in touch. <br />I, C <br />� <br />Michael Hardie, 2136 South Porpoise Point, in Sector 7, felt this is a fine study, <br />dealing with the facts. However, he did not agree with the assessments to the beachfront <br />property owners. He believed that the erosion affects the entire County and that any sand <br />put on the beaches will be distributed all along the coast. <br />Bill Glynn, 1802 Barefoot Place, President of North Beach Civic Association which <br />includes properties from Indian River Shores to Sebastian Inlet and from the river to the <br />ocean, congratulated staff on an outstanding job and thanked Commissioner Adams who got <br />the Plan to the point it is today. He reviewed the following: <br />ao�'��� enure l�ssaer�t�� <br />r: z: , .vc. ... .....: M.3; . +.s..._ ars <br />1) SEBASTIAN INLET......... <br />a) Sand Transfer System is a must for continued success of program. <br />b) Specified cost participation in program by Inlet Commission is necessary. <br />e) Erik Olsen's 1998 report indicates that up to twenty miles of TRC beach <br />front is scoured by the Wet jetties. <br />2) BEACH SURVEY........ <br />a) Weeps of August 18,1998 & October 10,1998 surveys do not reflect <br />legitimaste beach usage. This survey is severely flawed and should be redone. <br />3) STORM PROTECTION ASSESSMENTS....... <br />a) Assessments should be consistent with all beach front property, not just "hot <br />spats" since all beach front property will gain storm protection and sand from this <br />program. <br />b) Not sufficient credit given for Recreational benefits (flawed survey). <br />c) Sand moves consistently in a north to south downdriR. Where does Storm <br />Protection end and start up again? Who else should be assessed for the benefits? <br />4) BEACH FRONT PROPERTY OWNERS......... <br />a) Barrier Island presently pays 35.70/9 of all the Ad Valorum taxes in Indian <br />River County <br />b) Beachfront property owners presently pay 161/6 of these taxes. <br />c) Beachfront property owners account for about 1% ofthe IRC population. <br />This plan is politically favorable, but grossly unfair. <br />JANUARY 19, 1999 <br />
