UOK JlLi (c) Environmental constraints. In cases where environmental conditions on a subject property are such that the location of a dock or other waterfront structure within a riparian side yard setback would afford the best protection of on-site natural resources, an applicant may apply for and be granted an administrative approval pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 914. Natural resources that warrant riparian side yard setback encroachment consideration for protection purposes include mangroves and submerged aquatic vegetation. (5) Environmental impact considerations. Piers, docks, boat shelters, and other waterfront structures shall be located in order to minimize negative impacts on shoreline vegetation and marine grassbeds, as applicable. On riparian property where the location of a waterfront structure over or in the vicinity of light-sensitive aquatic vegetation (such as sea grasses) is unavoidable, such structure (or portion thereof) shall be constructed a minimum of five (5) feet above the mean high water level where said aquatic vegetation exists or could potentially exist, as determined by county environmental planning staff. Said determination shall be based on staff review of seagrass inventory information and site specific conditions. f61 Design and co inioncharacteristky ofprivate obcv �atinn/fishing p& All Arlvate observation/fich,no niers shall be^^Mn,rrnd to the following cion characteristics 4• REPEAL OF CONFLICTING PROVISIONS All previous ordinances, resolutions, or motions of the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida which conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.
