• <br />The first motion was to recommend that the County proceed into the <br />permitting for the Sector 7 (South County) beach restoration <br />project with Alternative #1 of the four alternative designs <br />presented to the Committee. Alternative #1 is also the preferred <br />design alternative of the County's Engineering consultant, Applied <br />Technology and Management. The major features of the alternatives <br />presented to the Committee were as follows: <br />Alternative 1: 417,300 cubic yards of sand with no structures <br />Initial Cost 8.0 million <br />Years before renourishment: 5 <br />Renourishment cost: 3.1 million <br />Nearshore reef impact: 10.9 acres <br />Alternative 2: 417,300 cubic yards of sand with 12 groins <br />Initial cost: 11 8 million <br />Years before renourishment 7 <br />Renourishment cost: 3.7 million <br />Nearshore reef impact: 10.9 acres <br />Alternative 3: 417,300 cubic yards of sand with 6 groins <br />Initial Cost: 9 5 million <br />Years before renourishment: 6 <br />Renourishment cost: 3.3 million <br />Nearshore reef impact: 10.9 acres <br />Alternative 4: 335,500 cubic yards of sand with no structures. <br />Initial cost: 6.4 million <br />Years before renourishment: 3 <br />Renourishment cost: 2.6 million <br />Nearshore reef impact: 8.0 acres. <br />The second motion was to recommend that the Board of County <br />Commissioners attempt to determine if there is any suitable piece <br />of property available in the Sector 7 project area for development <br />as a public beach access. A public beach access in the Sector 7 <br />project area would allow for state DEP cost sharing in the beach <br />restoration projects. It should be noted that the current <br />allocation is not sufficient to fund Alternative #1. <br />The County will need to secure DEP cost sharing in order to fund <br />this project. If such cost sharing is not obtained, the project <br />will need to be scaled back or other funding sources must be <br />identified. <br />RECOMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends that the board approve and adopt the motions of <br />the Beach and Shore Preservation Advisory Committee. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Beach and Shore Preservation Advisory Committee Motions <br />• <br />J <br />r <br />OCTOBER 1, 2002 73 <br />
