It is not in anyone's best interest to ask individual home owners to pay perhaps $75,000 to $100,000 to install a sea wall and then four years hence ask that same owner to pay a very large tax bill for beach renourishment which in all probability won't work. We strongly suggest that no matter how the whole plan is worked out, beach renourishment should start as soon as possible on 7B. -80- _I RECEIVED Board of County Commissioners Administration Budding JAN 1 9 1999 1840 25th Street MEMBER Vero Beach, Florida 32960 CLERK TO THE BOARD ASSOCIATIONS Dear Commissioners: Anglers Cove Atlantis The South Beach Property Owners Association has been following the beach Castaway Cove I Castaway Cove 11 erosion problem in our county for some time.

We have in Seaside our area, Zone 7B, which W. Tabor has designated as a critical area for beach Sea Turtle Lane renourishment. At this very moment we have perhaps a mile and a half of ocean Shore/ands East front property disappearing. We now have several sea walls, and we have several Shorelands West requests for permission to build additional sea walls.
