• • measurements were taken but when he asked for a copy he was told they were not available. Since his question deals with dock location, he wanted a copy ofthe field measurements and wanted to know what reference points were used. Environmental & Code Enforcement Chief Roland DeBlois quoted from the Indian River County Code Sec. 932.07(3)( b) and (c) concerning the allowable distance of a projection into a waterway. He pointed out that the first paragraph makes reference to the structures without mention of a boat at the dock. He explained that 12.5 feet either side of the centerline applies to the structure. The intent of this section is to make sure when docks are built, enough of the waterway remains so other boats can get by. Staff's interpretation of this is that there cannot be a structure within 12.5 feet of the centerline of the waterway. From a practical standpoint, staff looks at the boat issue, the whole canal, the whole situation to make sure the waterway can be navigated by other boats. There are not going to be docks on the other side of the canal, so there is ample passage for navigation. In this instance, staff's position is that this installation meets both the technical requirements and intent of the Code. As to the measurements, surveyed measurements were not performed. Measurements were not written and it was not documented. If the Board feels that staff should require as -built or that measurements should be depicted on the approved drawing, staff will take that direction. Staff believes these docks were built in compliance with the County Code and are in compliance with the permit. There were no questions and no action required or taken.. • 9.B.2.
