BOOK 108 PAGE 723 <br />County Attorney Vitunac advised that this is the same item that came before the <br />Board on March 2', 1999. At that time the item was tabled to allow time for negotiations <br />with DEP. This document is the version with our requested changes. These negotiations <br />were a lot of work and we owe our thanks to Commissioner Adams for her efforts. <br />Commissioner Adams noted that this has been a long, complicated process. <br />M. B. Adelson, DEP Assistant Counsel, advised that each of the points the Board <br />raised have been accepted by the DEP. <br />Commissioner Adams noted that the agreement involves the same amount of money, <br />but the split has been changed to 75% to the State and 25% to the County. The Gerstner <br />seawall has been included, as well as all state and federal lands. <br />Commissioner Ginn expressed some of her concerns about entering into the agreement <br />and questioned whathappens to the incomplete seawalls while the Habitat Conservation Plan <br />is being compiled. <br />County Attorney Vitunac advised that the owners will be allowed to install a <br />temporary cap. <br />Commissioner Ginn questioned whether any other Florida counties have applied for <br />a Section 10 Permit, and Coastal Engineer Jeff Tabar responded that Volusia, County spent <br />about $200,000 to develop their Plan over about 1 V2 years. <br />Attorney Adelson stated that Indian River County's scope of work is much narrower <br />than Volusia County. <br />Commissioner Ginn felt that the seawall owners will never be free of government <br />intervention. <br />County Attorney Vitunac responded that all parties will now be on the same side and <br />will know what steps have to be taken. This will be a help for future seawalls and/or parks. <br />MARCH 16, 1999 <br />-108- <br />0 0 <br />
