Dear Members:

There has been previously filed with your County Administrator a
proposed plat for River Shores Estates, Unit 5. In accordance
with your subdivision regulations, this plat was reviewed by the
Subdivision Review Committee at a meeting held in the Courthouse
at 4:00 p.m. on.Thursday, July 31, 1975. A Memorandum of this
meeting has been prepared by Jack G. Jennings, County. Administrator,
a copy of which is attached to this letter. From this Memorandum
you will see that your Subdivision Review Committee has submitted
the proposed plan to your Board with recommendations for tentative
approval subject to all required permits from governmental regulatory
agencies before construction is completed and the final plat recorded
in the public records of Indian River County, Florida. This approval
and recommendation was the unanimous action of your Subdivision
Review Committee except for one objection presented by Mr. Berg of
the Planning Department who stated that he felt that the tentative
plat was in accordance with all of your subdivision regualtions,
but from his viewpoint an objection should be interposed because
the development is in an environmental sensitive area according to
the Master Plan previously accepted by your Board as a guide for
future development.
We respectfully request that the application of Vero Beach Shores,
Inc., of which Mr. Julian Lowenstein is president, for the tentative
'approval of proposed River Shores Estates, Unit 5, be placed on the
agenda of your Board for the August 20, 1975 meeting for consideration
and approval under the provisions of your Subdivision Ordinance.
Along with the plat we are furnishing you with one copy of the mean
high water line survey which was performed under procedures approved
by the Florida Department of Natural Resources dated June 11, 1975.
You will note from the plat that there is an area shaded in red
which comprises approximately 16 acres for which Mr. Lowenstein has
title from the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund of the
-2-
AUG 201975
8001
PA_ X20.
AUG 201975
State of Florida, but he does not intend to develop this acreage,
and by so doing is eliminating from development and sale approxi-
mately 16 acres of land owned by him. This he is doing in order
to make every effort to have the proposed development comply with
all of the rules and regulations pertaining thereto.
The proposed construction will extend no farthereast than the
existing dike. HoWever, the lot lines will extend to the mean high
water line along the river for the purpose of granting title with
riparian rights to the prospective purchasers of such lots. The
mean high water line, which is the limit to which the development
is intended to be made eastward, has been established and approved
by the Florida Department of Natural Resources.
It is true that the development exists in what is referred to in the
Master Plan as an environmental sensitive area, but.th.e property
sought to be developed is in complete accordance with zoning
regulations and in accordance with all of your subdivision regula-
tions as adopted by your Board, and, necessarily, before construction
will be allowed to begin and before the final plat will be approved,
Mr. Lowenstein's company will obtain the approval and necessary
permits from all of the agencies and regulatory bodies involved in
such development.
You will note that this proposed plat is Unit No. 5 of River Shores
Estates. There have previously been four' plats approved and develop-
ment made of four units adjoining Unit No. 5, which have resulted in
improvements that have materially added to the growth of Indian
River County and the amount of taxable property placed on the tax
rolls. Therefore, what is proposed to be done in connection with the
tentative plat being presented is simply an extension of a development
which has been going on since 1955, and we will present at your
meeting a copy of such development plans dating back to February 10,
1955, prepared by R. D. Carter Engineering Firm. It is, therefore,
obvious that Mr. Lowenstein is not presenting anything new but is
simply seeking to complete the development of a tract of land which
he has owned for many years, and all in accordance with the rules
and regulations governing such developments. We feel, therefore, that
in giving approval to a tentative plat, this Board will be in full
accordance with all the rules and regulations relating thereto and
that tentative approval of this plan, as stated, will necessarily
depend upon the approval of all environmental agencies involved..
Under the provisions of your Subdivision Ordinance, the time limit
for tentative approval is eighteen months. Needless to say, much
engineering time is required for the development of the project as
well as the time required incident to obtaining the necessary permits
from the appropriate governmental agencies and the owner has no
control over this time involved in obtaining such permits. We,
therefore,respectfully request that this Honorable Body accept the
recommendations of your Subdivision Review Committee and give
approval to the tentative plat and that the time limit of eighteen
months be set from the date of the approval of the construction
plans.
May we reiterate in conclusion that Mr. Lowenstein is seeking to
proceed with the development of his property in accordance with
plans dating back 'to 1955 and in strict accordance with all existing
rules and regulations as to subdivisions and zoning. With the
approval of your Subdivision Review Board, we believe that your
Body will give approval so that we may proceed with the completion
of this development, which when done will in all probability add
a good many more millions of dollars to the tax rolls of Indian
River County.
Respectfully submitted,
Registered Land Surveyor

AS STATED IN THE FOREGOING LETTER, MR, VOCELLE REQUESTED
APPROVAL OF THIS TENTATIVE PLAT AND THAT THE TIME LIMIT OF. EIGHTEEN
MONTHS AS STATED IN THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE BE SET FROM THE DATE
OF APPROVAL OF THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS.
ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE DID NOT FEEL THE
18 MONTHS SHOULD BE GRANTED AFTER THE APPROVAL AND PERMITS FROM GOVERN—
MENTAL REGULATORY AGENCIES HAVE BEEN OBTAINED, BUT THE BOARD COULD
GRANT EXTENSION OF TIME IF PHYSICAL WORK IS BEING DONE ON THE PROJECT.
CHAIRMAN LOY STATED THAT IT HAS BEEN THE POLICY OF THIS BOARD
THAT WHEN AN EXTENSION OF TIME OR TENTATIVE APPROVAL IS REQUESTED, IT
WILL BE CONSIDERED,

Miss ALnam Lee Loy, Chairman
and Members of the Indian River County Commission
Ret River Shores Estates - Unit 5
IRC-75-S/D-6
Dear Commissionerst
The Indian River and the adjacent wetlands
are of great economic significance to this County and to the
sea around W. A large pottion tithe fish in the ocean spend
at least a part of their lives in estuaries such as the
Indian River and depend on tt for food. The way we treat the
shore of the River and the adjacent wetlands will determine
the availability of this important food source in the years
ahead. Both bile Federal and State governments have seen fit
to prohibit use of this land fro at least below the mean high
tide line. Much of this proposed subdivision appears to lie .
below the elevation of mean high tide and should not be used.
WE feel that Commission approval of this subdivision would
be construed as an argument in favor of the subdivider when
he appears before the environmental agencies seeking permits
to fill this land. In view of the clearly established practices
in these matters we would hope that our Commission would not
officially promote retrogression. As a consequence we ask that
you do not approve the Subdipision.
Tours very truly,

MR. LYONS THEN SPOKE IN HIS OWN BEHALF AND REQUESTED THAT

THE DEVELOPER HAS RECEIVED FINAL APPROVAL FROM THE VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL
AGENCIES, MR. LYONS STATED THAT WHEN AND IF THE DEVELOPER RECEIVES
APPROVAL, THE PLAT MIGHT BE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE PRESENTED TODAY.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT IF THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES MADE IN THIS PLAT, THE DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT A REVISED
PLAT,
CHAIRMAN LOY STATED THAT TENTATIVE APPROVAL IS TO INFORM THE
BOARD OF THE DEVELOPER'S INTENTION - FINAL APPROVAL IS BASED ON ALL PER-
MITS AND APPROVALS RECEIVED FROM OTHER REGULATORY BODIES.

VAL BRENNAN, PLANNING DIRECTOR, AND ROBERT BERG, ASSISTANT
PLANNING DIRECTOR, APPEARED FOR THIS DISCUSSION, AND MR, BERG REPORTED
THAT THIS TENTATIVE PLAN'DOES NOT MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS. IT IS THE
PLANNING DEPARTMENT'S RECOMMENDATION THAT THIS NOT BE APPROVED BECAUSE
THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN A HURRICANE FLOOD ZONE AND IN AN ENVIRON-
MENTALLY SENSITIVE AREA. IT DOES NOT CONFORM WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE
LAND USE PLAN,
THE BOARD DISCUSSED ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS IN CON-
JUNCTION WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT
STATED THAT DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR"THE ADOPTION OF THE COMPREHEN-
SIVE LAND USE PLAN, IT WAS STATED THAT "ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE' DID
NOT MEAN THAT.NO DEVELOPMENT COULD TAKE PLACE, BUT THAT DEVELOPMENT COULD
PROCEED WITH DUE CAUTION,
MR, BERG STATED THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS NOT SAYING DO
NOT DEVELOP, BUT TO FILL IN THIS ENTIRE PARCEL OF LAND IS NOT IN CONFORM-
ANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN. WE ARE RAISING A RED FLAG
THAT THERE SHOULD BE CONSIDERABLE THOUGHT GIVEN AS TO THE DENSITY IN THAT
AREA, MR, BERG CONTINUED THAT HE RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND
USE PLAN BE CHANGED IF THIS SUBDIVISION IS GRANTED TENTATIVE APPROVAL.
MR, VOCELLE STATED THAT IN HIS OPINION IF THE BOARD DENIES
TENTATIVE APPROVAL, THEY ARE SAYING THAT.A PERSON CANNOT DEVELOP HIS
PROPERTY WITHIN THE ZONING AND YOU ARE TAKING THIS PERSON'S PROPERTY AWAY
FROM HIM, HE CONTINUED THAT IF THIS BOARD WAS TO REFUSE TENTATIVE APPROVAL
YOU WOULD BE SAYING TO MR. LOWENSTEIN, "You OWN A TRACK OF LAND WHICH IS
ZONED FOR THE PURPOSE IT IS INTENDED, BUT YOU CANNOT USE.ITi"
JEROME KRAMER, REPRESENTING THE VERO BEACH CIVIC ASSOCIATION,
APEEARED.AND STATED THAT THE ASSOCIATION IS NOT TAKING A POSITION ON
THE MERITS OF THIS SUBDIVISION, BUT THERE IS A SERIOUS QUESTION DEVELOPING,
THIS PROPERTY CONFORMS TO THE EXISTING ZONING, BUT IT DOES NOT CONFORM
TO THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE AGREED WITH MR. VOCELLE RE
THE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF CITIZENS AND, IN HIS OPINION, NOT TO ALLOW THEM
TO PROCEED WITH THIS PROJECT COULD RESULT IN CONDEMNATION. ALSO, IN HIS
OPINION, IT DOES NOT VIOLATE THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN IN ANY
SHAPE OR FORM,

the following manner:
An appraisal shall be prepared of costs and damages
required for the acquisition of the lands and ease-
ments and the clearing of the right of way of all
physical obstructions which shall be approved by
the Department. After the appraisal is thus approved,
expenditures of said funds will be approved for the
following purposes and in the following amounts:
1. Payment of the price for the parcels of land or
easements arrived at either by negotiation or
by awards in condemnation including relocation
assistance as applicable under Department policies
and regulations.
2. The costs of title search and other title infor-

Jeeves On Beach Erosion Control:
A Presentation to County Commissioners,
in meeting, August 20, 1975 at the
Indian River County Courthouse
Subject:
EFFECTIVE & ECONOMIC BEACH EROSION CONTROL
(Note: All underlining is that of -the speaker).
Madam Chairlady, County'Commissioners, Ladies and Gentlemen:
My name is Roger Jack Jeeves. I reside at 605 Holly Road,
Vero Beach, with my wife and my ten year old daughter. I come
before you as a taxpayer of both the County and the City; and
more importantly as a proponent of the concrete "jacks" system
u.r .
to prevent beach erosion. It is tyke method being used in this
country and abroad, and has been for many years back. It is a
system which can be installed in four or five months
rather than years.
The efficacy of the "jacks" system has been proved many times
over. This manual I hold here (HOLD UP BOOK) is titled:
CONCRETE,ARMOR UNITS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST WAVE ACTION. It is
the "bible" of the Corps, published by them in January 1974, I
will quote from page Al - Appendix A: of Engineers Experience with
Concrete Armor Units.
(Quote) "Since the invention of the tetropod in 1950,
concrete armor units have been used extensively throughout the
world." (Close Quote)
The manual goes on to detailsome of them. They are:
Crescent -City Harbor, California 2 locations,
Kahului Harbor, Hawaii 2 locations,

the United States while the army C:►rps of. Engineers confines
itself forthe most part to the Continental United States.
I have a letter here addressed to me and dated July 19, 1975
from Captain James B. Vredenburgh, U. S. Navy (Retired), now a
resd ent of Vero Beach, in which he states the following:
(Quote') "In 1957 I was the Commander, Fleet Activities,
Okinawa. There was a need for a small boat basin (harbor) on an
exposed beach in Buckner Bay on the Pacific Coast of the Island.
After careful study•of various material and methods of construc-
tion it was decided to use reinforced concrete, interlocking
tetrahedrons (jacks) as a base for two jetties and a breakwater
to enclose a small boat basin for the use of the small boats of
Navy ships anchored in Buckner Bay and for the protection of boats
assigned to the Fleet Activity used to service the Navy ships.
"The boat basin enclosure was built in record time and has
served admirably its purpose. That it has survived in the "typhoon"
corner of the Western Pacific, namely Okinawa, should be proof
positive of the adaptability of these building. blocks as
permanent and. reliable structures.
"Being a resident, property owner. and taxpayer of Vero Beach for
15 years, moves me to be interested in any means or device which
krill accomplish the desired objective at minimum cost to the taxpayer
so as to protect one of our greatest assets
(Close Quote)
'I also have a letter dated July 24, 1975 from Captain Howard.
N. Moore, U. S. Navy (Retired) and he, too, is now a resident
of Vero Beach ,,..he states:
(Quote) "This letter is in response to your inquiry about any
."knowledge I may have concerning Navy's use of concrete form ''jacks"
•
n
for erosion control. In 1972, at the U.'S. Naval Base, Rota,•Spain,
I saw the Navy using concrete jacks on the beach in the surf to pre-
vent wave -action damage tu'the escarpment."-

Jeeves on Beach Erosion Control, Page 3
Captain Moore concludes his letter by saying " I am for the workable
system that will be the least burden on the taxpayers "(Close Quote)
Reiterating what I previously indicated:
The "jacks" system will work successfully in our area not
only to help prevent beach erosion but also to help build or extend
our beaches. Moreover, the jacks will be a lasting solution. The
fact•is, that next to doing nothing at all, concrete jacks system
is by far the least costly.
You have probably heard the expression: "You can't stop
Mother Nature!" I agree. But with the "jacks" system you do not
.tm. to stop wave action. Rather, its purpose and fuction is to
breakup the waves, thus dissipating and reducing their force.
"Jacks" actually will help Mother Nature to build our beaches..
nourish them, if you will, with sand brought in from the ocean
by wave action over and through the "jacks".
What's more, the "jacks" provide a haven for sea worms, barnacles,
•
and other creatures of the ocean to attach themselves and further
assist Mother Nature in building a lasting reef (which, incidentally
makes for good fishing, too).
Now let's look at what happened in the October blow of 1974.
As much as 10 to 25 feet of beach was eroded in some areas, washed
out to sea. Concrete walls were broken up, and foundations of
two buildings were undermined. Damage within a half mile of
Sexton Plaza area ran to almost $114,000.
(See attached Addendum A for details).
The forces at work in heavy Northeasters are partly oceano-
graphical and partly manmade.
In January this year, James L. Garland, Chief of the Engineering
Division of the Corps of Engineers described in a letter to County.
Commissioners, the results of investigations completed in 1974 by
the Corps on "Indian River County Beach Erosion Control." He said
P
AUG 2 01975
ROUX
in part:
Jeeves on Beach Erosion Control, Page 4
ro
(Quote) "The eroding situation is apparently the effect
of several main natural and manmade causes resulting in a
general lessening of the .1ittoral drift along the coastline of
4 the county.....the breakdown of the protective foredune system
AUG 2 0 1975
due to contruction by local interests of various shoreline
structures; and the deterioration of naturally occurring offshore
breakwaters."
Mr. Garland went on to say: "Probably the most important •
to the beach erosion problem in Vero Beach is a structure known
locally as'Riomar Reef' part of a larger reef system typical
of reefs in the area." (Close quote)
'We agree with Mr. Garland that probably the most effective
beach erosion control is found in reefs. That is what is needed.
And that is just what is formed by the jacks system.
The jacks, which are six -pronged and weigh over a ton each,
are self anchoring. As strong waves rush in and over the jacks,
the waves produce a forward and downward pressure thus forcing
the bottom three prongs of the jacks into the ocean bed.
Now consider this very important time factor:
This job of making and installing 4,000 steel reinforced
jacks can be accomplished, from start to finish, in from 4 to 6
months, depending on two things: weather conditions and the
cooperation received from the sponsoring agency, namely, Indian
River County.
Forms for making the "jacks" are readily available and can be
trucked to Vero Beach in a matter of hours. The 241 cubic yards
• of conrete to make 4 -thousand "jacks" together with the 60 -
thousand lineal feet of #5 steel reinforcing rods are available
locally. The availability and the prices have 'been rechecked anti*
Bind 3 F*GE23
Jeeves on Beach Erosion Control, Page 5
confirmed by a reliable local supplier as recently as mid July 1975.
With the "jacks" system there need not be any 3 -year waiting
period. According to infotmation I have received from the office
of U. S. Senator Lawton Chiles (who is cognizant of and vitally
interested in the concrete "jacks" system to prevent beach erosion
of Florida's shores) it usually requires only 30 days to
obtain a permit from the Corps of Engineers when such permit is
applied for by the sponsoring agency.
Upon receipt of that permit, and one from our State Department
of Natural Resources, work can get underway directly. I now qubte
as follows from Senator Chiles letter:
(Quote) :The 1962 Rivers and Harbor Act,,as
subsequently amended, provides for small beach
erosion projects, when the total Federal share
of the complete project does not exceed
$1,000,900, to be constructed by the Corps
without Congressional authorization' when prior
studies indicate such improvements are feasible
and warranted." (Close Quote)
This all means that the concrete jacks project would not have to
wait for three years to obtain Congressional authorization. It
can be started immediately upon awarding of the construction bid
because in any case such as this where the total Federal share
of the complete project does not exceed $1,000,000, Congressional
approval is not required.
How much will it cost?
I estimate that the 4 -rile stretch can be done with steel
reinforced concrete "jacks" for $400 -thousand dollars, from contract
'"award to finished jc,b, and backed by a performance' bond.

Jeeves on Beach Erosion Control, Page 6
I now quote from the Corps of Engineers' Program for Construction
of Beach Erosion Control Projects under the Authority of Section
103 of the River & Harbor Act of 1962, as amended:
(Quote) "Federal cost participation may be up to one-half
the cost of protecting shores owned by non -Federal public agencies."
(Close Quote)
The State of Florida, Indian River County and the City of
Vero Beach qualify'as non -Federal Agencies:
Let's take a look at the breakdown of the $400,000 cost for
installation of the jacks system.
Deducting $200,000, which is the fifty percent
Federal share, leaves a balance of $200,000.
Then according to FloridaHouse Bill #1672,
passed earlier this year, (a photocopy of which
-I hold in my hand furnished to me by our local
State Representative, Chester Clem), the State
will pay one-fourth of the total which amounts
to $100,000, thus leaving $100,000 outlay to be
split between the County and City.
Incidentally, you'll be interested to learn the following,
which I quote from a letter dated 30 July 1975 from Colonel Wisdom,
Corps of Engineers District Engineer3and addressed to Honorable
Lawton Chiles, who inturn mailed a photocopy to me which I
received last Thursday August 14, 1975. The letter is quite
long, so for the sake of brevity I will read just its first and
fourth paragraphs:
•(Quote) "Dear Senator Chiles: This .is in response to your

letter of 22 July 1975 in which you requested iriiormation on our
Indian -River County Beach Erosion Control and Shore Protection

(Quote Paragraph 4)
"Seemingly intense local interest has been'generated
regarding artificial reefs to be used as a method in
controlling beach erosion. As envisioned, these
reefs would facilitate the growth of an organism
known as the Sabellariid worm. In some locations
of the study area, the worm has formed reefs that
have apparently impeded the beach erosion process
by dissipating wave energy. The artificial. reef
concept which was addressed in -our study as an
alternative solution to the erosion problems at
Vero Beach but was found to be very costly.
Not much is known at this time of its effectiveness.
However, we do recognize that these reefs may have
a value in erosion control efforts." (Close Quote)
It is only in recent weeks that the public has become aware
of the action taken by the County and City in May and June,
climaxed with the Resolution signed by the Commissioners, June 27.
.
The Vero Beach Civic Ass^ ion and.the Taxpayers Association
of Indian River County have since studied the beach erosion control
deliberations in great detail, and they have asked you in serious
terms to modify the June 27 Resolution in an addendum to the
Corps• of Engineers with an endorsement of the steel -reinforced
concrete jacks as a preferred method of erosion control.
-^= j' win_ Ga'.4.1.17
In closing I would simply like toemind you that the jacks
system has these important advantages:_
1.) The cost is much lower: $400,000.
2.) Jacks can be installed in four or' five months whereas,
the Corps of Engineers stat^.s it can't start pumping sand for
three years.
3.) Jacks, eliminate the ;need for annum.sand Pumping

after the October '74 blow, spent $375 for fill north end of Patric Pizza.
However, previous to the October '74 blow he spent approximately $50,000
for a crib retaining wall 175' long. "Red" indicated that there was
only slight erosion to the property at north and south ends of wall.
Dick Edwards indicated that it was his understainding that the crib
walls were to be extended further westward from the ocean to prevent
washouts at the cxo ends, both north and south.
Anne G. Watters property: 175 north of Riomar & White Sands of Vero:
No expenditures made here ... but according to "Red" Kupper, the beach
was eroded about 25° due to washout -- and loss of 5 -trees including
a large ironwood tree now lying on the beach for all to see.
.TB - LOT at SE corner of Flamevine & Ocean Dtive. Takis property. Unable to
locate owner in phone book. However, it is self -evident that no
expenditures have been made. It also is quite evident that this
beachfront property has been eroded approximately 20-25 feet.

The temptation is
is concerned and disturbed by the County Commissioners' action of June 27th
in regard to Beach Erosion Control&
We have examined the Resolution yon signed on that date, giving the Army
• Corps of Engineers such tremendous latitude in pumping sand to replenish
our beaches. It appears to include an open-ended provision for yearly
sand pumping to continue as long as needede
local news media, which covered the hearings on beach erosion, have
reported that the Corps stated its program will cost between 2 and. 10 million $s
This is a shocking burden to place on the backs of our taxpayers. 'Disturbing, too,
is to find that top administrators cf both the County and City reveal that
neither of them has any record of official figures. To date we know of
no cost figures, in writing, from the Corps.
Efforts to obtain a copy of the cost figures quoted at the hearing by the Corps
so far has not produced them, with recent phone requests to its office in
Jacksonville, Florida notwithstanding.
We are deeply concerned that the County and City may have plunged into what
appears to be a bad arrangement with the Corps. Sand pumping is appallingly
expensive... and has teen a failure in ever so many communities along the
Atlantic Coast. Moreover, we understand the Corps won't be able to start
the sand fill job here for 3 -years. But on Wednesday, August 20th, you will
meet to receive information about an alternate method of beach erosion•controj,
the so-called "jacks" method, where steel reinforced concrete jacks are placed
in the water offshore to break up wave action and also help deposit sand. The
propanent of the system states that the cost will be $400,000 and, will require
only a few months to be installed and in operation.
Consider seriously this alternative ... then request the Corps to examine it
with the goal of relieving us taxpayers of the burden of the multi-million $
sand pumping method you endorsed in the June 27th Resolution.

We have reviewed the local history on the above subject, in-
cluding the Resolution which you approved on June 27, 1975. We
notice that you have endorsed the Army Corps of Engineers sand -
fill proposal and committed the County to fund its share with-
out limitation on amount or time. There have been indications
that the initial and continuing cost of such a program might
-run into several millions of dollars and more.
• In the meantime, we have been apprised of an alternate ap-
proach involving the use of steel -reinforced concrete "jacks"
which is supposed to involve an initial cost considerably less
than the above and which can be placed in use much sooner.
.We understand that this approach was not included in the
recommendations of the Corps of Engineers earlier this year. How-
ever, we also understand that you have scheduled the local
proponent of this jacks system, Mr. Roger Jeeves, to present
the advantages of this system to you on Wednesday, August 20.
We urge you to assess his presentation in the light of your

Engineers to•reopen their investigation to include this con-
• erete jacks approach as a viable alternative.
The. Jacks system has important advantages:

b) the jacks can be installed in four or five months;

e) It eliminates the need for annual pumping. of sand to
renourish the beach, which has proved.costly and dis-
couraging to communities along the Atlantic Coast.from
New Jersey to Miami.
It certainly will be in the interest of the taxpayers and
property owners of the city and county to modify your Reso-
lution to endorse this concrete jacks approach as preferred.
Also we would urge that you limit this county's committment to
a fixed sum and to a fixed time period in underwriting any costs
to be incurred in future protection of our beaches.

Dear Commissioner:
I wanted to take a moment to get back in touch
with you and provide you with the report that I re-
cently received from Lieutenant Colonel James Argo
of the Army Corps of Engineers regarding the Indian River
County Beach Erosion Project. The report attached is
most detailed as to the events which have taken place
since the public hearing in May and I am confident
you will find it interesting.
You may count upon me to continue to monitor
these proceedings and if I may be of any other service
in the meantime, do let me know.

Dear Senator Stone:
23 July 1975
This is in response to your request that we give consideration to
Ms. Alma Lee'Loy's letter of 30 June 1975 to you.
As you are aware from our 16 May 1975 public meeting announcement, we
are conducting a beach erosion control and shore protection study of
the shoreline of Indian River County, Florida. The Indian river County
Board of Commissioners is the local sponsor of the study.
Since April of this year, three coordination meetings and one public
meeting have been conducted at Vero Beach in order to present the study
findings to the local interests. Indian River County Resolution No.
75-37 which M. Loy sent to you is the county's response to our study
findings. The resolution has been reviewed and will become a part of
the permanent record of the 10 June 1975 public -meeting.
Investigations have resulted in the consideration for possible improve-
ment of two reaches of shore within the county where storm damage and
shoreline recession have been severe and upland property is threatened.
These areas include the southerly ocean shoreline adjacent to Sebastian
Inlet and a two-mile stretch of beach at Vero Beach. The selected plans
for correcting the beach erosion problems at each of these two areas
include an initial beach fill, future nourishment, and a deferred ero-
sion control structure. The views of the county and other local inter-
ests have been given full consideration in the selection of these plans.
In Ms. Loy's letter of 30 June and the resolution, she refers to the
"Sabecon" reef. The Sabecon reef concept was addressed in our study as
an alternative solution to the erosion problems at Vero Beach but was

found to be very costly. In addition, not ich is lmown at this time of
its effectiveness. However, we do recognize that the Sabecon reef or
other artificial reef concepts may have a value in erosion control efforts.
The report now under preparation will consider the advisability of impli-
menting a small test section of an artificial reef such as the Sabecon
reef with a view of reducing the cost of periodic nourishment.
1 hope this has been of assistance to you.

As an official representing coastal and beach interests, you
should'be interested in attending and participating in this joint
--•; conference. Interesting programs are planned to inform you of
coastal and beach problems around Florida and the nation as well
as tried and proven solutions to those problems.
In addition to your attendance and participation, it would be
desirable. for representatives of your technical and/or Administrative
staff to attend also. As plans for this conference are finalized,
you will hear from me again.
I hope you will make plans now to attend this timely conference.
Sincerely,

THAT POSSIBLY MONEY IS AVAILABLE, BUT STUDIES WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPLETED
BEFORE THOSE MONIES WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THIS COUNTY, IF A PRIVATE
GROUP WANTED TO TAKE THE COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROJECT, THEN
YOU MIGHT POSSIBLY GET PERMITS TO DO THIS WORK,
MR, JEEVES STATED THAT IN ORDER TO GET THE MONEY, IT HAS TO BE

CHAIRMAN LOY STATED THAT TO HER KNOWLEDGE, SHE HAS NOT FOUND ANY
AGENCIES WHERE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MEET ALL THE CRITERIA SET OUT. ONE OF
THE REASONS THE BOARD ASKED THE CORPS TO STUDY THE SABECON REEF WAS BE-
CAUSE OF THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WAS DONE BY A PRIVATE GROUP
TO PROVE THEIR POINT. SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD SPENT TIME AND ENERGY TO

RESEARCH ON THIS PROJECT P,COME ROVES TO BE SUCCESSFUL, IT MUST BACK
TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL. IN ORDER TO KEEP RESEARCH ON THIS
PROJECT MOVING, WE ADOPTED A RESOLUTION INDICATING OUR SUPPORT.
JEROME KRAMER, ATTORNEY, REPRESENTING THE VERO BEACH CIVIC
ASSOCIATION, APPEARED AND ASKED THE BOARD TO CONSIDER MR. JEEVES' "JACK"
SYSTEM. IF THE BOARD FINDS IT A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE, HE THEN REQUESTED
THAT THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS BE ASKED TO REOPEN THE STUDY AND FOR THEM
TO STUDY THE "JACK" SYSTEM.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT THE CORPS WENT BEYOND THE
CALL OF DUTY REGARDING THE SABECON REEF. THEY DID THAT BECAUSE THEY HAD
INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO SAY THAT IT IS A POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE.
TED BROWN APPEARED AND STATED THAT CONCERNED CITIZENS ARE RE-
QUESTING THIS BOARD TO ASK THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO MAKE A STUDY OF
THIS "JACK" SYSTEM. THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND THE TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION
ARE ASKING THAT THIS STUDY BE MADE.
AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT,
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MASSEY, TO FORWARD THIS PRESENTATION MADE BY
ROGER JACK JEEVES TO THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND ASK THEM FOR THEIR COM-
MENTS ON THE "JACK" SYSTEM FOR BEACH EROSION CONTROL.
DISCUSSION FOLLOWED AND COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT THE
"JACK" SYSTEM WAS BROUGHT UP AT THE FINAL PUBLIC MEETING AND MR. JEEVES
ASKED TO BE HEARD AND TO HAVE HIS COMMENTS READ INTO THE MINUTES, WHICH
WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD HEARD THE WORD "JACKS." COMMISSIONER WODTKE
STATED HE IS TOTALLY INTERESTED IN SAVING THE TAXPAYERS MONEY, AND IF
THERE IS MERIT TO THE "JACK" SYSTEM, HE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING
ABOUT IT.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE CONTINUED THAT A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE STATED
THAT THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS.HAD DEVELOPED A "JACK' SYSTEM TO BE USED IN
VIRGINIA, HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO THE CORPS
OF ENGINEERS INFORMING THEM THAT A STRONG INTEREST IN THE "JACK" SYSTEM
HAD DEVELOPED AND ASKING IF THERE IS A WAY THIS SYSTEM COULD BE DONE
FASTER AND IF THERE IS MONEY IN THE BEACH HARBOR ACT. His SUGGESTION
WAS TO SUBMIT THIS INFORMATION TO THEM AND REQUEST,THE CORPS TO CONSIDER

PEARED AND INFORMED THE BOARD HOW HE STARTED THIS SERVICE IN THE GIFFORD

LIKE TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN IT, HE IS OPPOSED TO SOMEONE COMING INTO
THE COUNTY AND TAKING OVER THIS FRANCHISE, To HAVE A NEIGHBOR COME IN

AUG 2 01975 2Tf`EGE t
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE HAS NO DOUBT ABOUT HARRIS
SANITATION PROVIDING SERVICE, BUT AS LONG AS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH
WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT, HE QUESTIONED WHETHER OR NOT THE BOARD WANTS
TO GET INVOLVED WITH WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT,. WE ARE SITTING HERE TRYING
TO GET THE BEST SERVICE FOR INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. i,EXT YEAR MR, HARRIS'
CONTRACT WITH WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT RUNS OUT, AND WE MAY FIND OURSELVES
WORKING WITH WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT,
MR, HARRIS STATED THAT ALL THE EQUIPMENT BELONGS TO WASTE WATER
MANAGEMENTS HE IS PRESIDENT OF HARRIS SANITATION, BUT HARRIS SANITATION
IS OWNED BY WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT,
CHAIRMAN LOY STATED THAT THE BOARD IS NOT ONLY CHARGED WITH
GETTING THE BEST SERVICE, BUT ALSO PROTECTING THE INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE
IN THE COMMUNITY, AT THIS POINT SHE IS NOT CONVINCED THAT THE BEST IN-
TERESTS OF THIS COUNTY WILL BE SERVED BY MAKING AN AGREEMENT WITH A
COMPANY THAT WE KNOW AS WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT, IT IS A LARGE COMPANY
AND LOCATED OUT OF THIS AREA, SHE IS NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS IS THE
SERVICE THAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT INTO OUR COUNTY AT THIS TIME.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT WE ALSO HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO
EXISTING FRANCHISE HOLDERS, THEY ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT
ARE NEEDED AND ARE AVAILABLE AT THE RATE OF $3,25 COMPARED TO THE RATES
BEING PAID BY SURROUNDING COUNTIES, AND HE HOPES WE CAN KEEP IT AT THAT
LEVEL, HE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT AND WAS NOT
IN FAVOR OF THE COUNTY GETTING INVOLVED WITH THIS COMPANY. SINCE WE
HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTY THAT ARE IN THIS BUSINESS AND CAPABLE OF PRO-
VIDING A SERVICE THAT COSTS LESS THAN SURROUNDING AREAS, HE DOES NOT
SEE THE NEED OF A LARGE COMPANY COMING IN,
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE TOO WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE
RATES REMAIN AT THE LEVEL THEY ARE TODAY, HE SUGGESTED SITTING DOWN AND
REVIEWING THE FRANCHISE CONTRACT MORE CRITICALLY TO SEE IF THERE IS SOME
WAY WE CAN UPGRADE THE SYSTEM AND UPGRADE THE RATES, IT IS DIFFICULT
FOR A SMALL OPERATOR TO COMPETE, AND POSSIBLY WE SHOULD MAKE PROVISIONS
IN THE RATE STRUCTURE WITH MONEY GOING BACK TO THE SMALL OPERATOR TO
IMPROVE THE SERVICES.

I. HARRIS SANITATION IS A NAME ONLY COMPANY AND IS

2. THAT THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR ANOTHER FRANCHISE HOLDER
TO COME INTO THIS COUNTY.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT THIS IS NO REFLECTION ON
MR, HARRIS AND WHAT HE PRESENTED TODAY, HIS SERVICES ARE VERY GOOD, BUT
FOR THE REASONS HE HAS HEARD, HE WOULD HAVE TO OPPOSE THIS APPLICATION,
