Department; Board of County Commissioners.
Scope and Audience- This policy applies to private parties requesting use of County property for
coastal construction project access.
Additional Authority- Local (Town of Indian River Shores, City of Vero Beach, Town of Orchid), State
(Florida Department of Environmental Protection) and Federal (United States Army Corps of
Engineers) permitting agencies for coastal construction projects. Permit conditions shall apply to all
approvals through this administrative policy.
Definitions (as they relate to this policy):
1. Applicant- Individual submitting the "Application for Use of County Property by Private Entity
for Coastal Construction Project Access" on behalf of the property owner.
2. Contractor- The licensed and insured contractor who shall be performing the dune
construction activities on behalf of the property owner.
3. Owner- Person or entity in whom is vested in the ownership, dominion, or title of the property.
4. Project- The dune construction activity to take place on the owner's property shall be referred
to as the "project"
5. Maintenance- Activities necessary to keep facilities and systems operational and in good
working order. Generally, routine or recurring activities that consist of preservation but not
improvement.
6. Emergency- Significant coastal erosion due to a weather event that puts upland
infrastructure at risk.

PRIVATE USE OF COUNTY PROPERTY FOR NON -EMERGENCY
COASTAL CONSTRUCTION ACCESS
2. Statement
On March 5, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to develop a process whereby
private entities can request approval for use of County Property, including public County beach
parks, for coastal construction project access. This direction was in recognition of the fact that
private beach -front entities experience significant erosion events requiring remediation/restoration.
These erosion events may result in those entities requesting use of County Propertyfor construction
access purposes. A formal process is required so that the Board has sufficient information to
determine whether the proposed use of County Property for coastal construction activities either
reasonably or unreasonably affects the public and can make a determination on whether or not to
authorize the requested use. This policy does not apply to ongoing, routine maintenance, for which
access is the sole responsibility of the property owner.
3. Eligibility
Only beach -front coastal properties located within Indian River County, and in possession of a valid
FDEP Coastal Construction Control Line Permit, and/or other pertinent permit(s), shall be eligible for
the use of this policy. Coastal properties within municipal boundaries shall be required to obtain a
letter of no objection from their local municipality prior to pursuing an access agreement with the
County utilizing this policy. Projects must be constructed outside of the sea turtle nesting period of
March 1"through October 31', unless approved construction permits contain sufficient conditions
that allow an exception. Only initial construction projects shall be considered, and only in situations
where access through the construction site is not possible, and the property owner has
demonstrated there is no practicable alternative for access. Ongoing or routine maintenance is not
eligible for this policy. Under emergency conditions, the policy "Private Use of County Property for
Emergency Coastal Construction Access" shall apply.
Projects shall be considered on a first come first served basis. Only one of the eight public County
beach parks may be closed solely for private use at any one time to ensure adequate public access
to coastal recreation/access resources. Additionally, the requested closure period cannot interfere
with any scheduled or planned County activity. Maximum closure periods shall be 5 calendar days
for parcels with less than 150 linear foot beach frontage, and 15 calendar days for parcels with
greater than 150 linear foot beach frontage.
Projects shall be completed by qualified, certified contractor(s) that meet the County's minimum
insurance requirements. These requirements can be found in the sample license agreement in
Attachment A. This policy permits access to the beach through the established beach access point.
It does not permit access across the beach through private property. The Applicant is responsible for
obtaining any additional legal access required for construction, and shall not rely on any beach
easements that the County may have for surrounding private parcel owners.

PRIVATE USE OF COUNTY PROPERTY FOR NON -EMERGENCY
COASTAL CONSTRUCTION ACCESS
Requests to utilize County Property for private coastal construction project access shall be
submitted directly to the Natural Resources Department, Coastal Division for facilitation through the
approval process. The request shall be submitted on the "Application for Use of County Property by
Private Entity for Coastal Construction Project Access" form. Complete applications shall include
additional materials as specified in the "PRIVATE USE OF COUNTY PROPERTY FOR COASTAL
CONSTRUCTION ACCESS APPLICATION CHECKLIST". These forms can be found in Appendix A of
this policy. Please submit applications directly to Coastal@IndianRiver.gov. Incomplete submittals
will not be considered.
Upon receipt of the application form, the Coastal Division shall review and confirm the submitted
application is complete, and if complete, shall schedule a site visit with the property owner and
contractor to discuss the project and complete a dune inspection. After the site visit, the Coastal
Division shall submit the application materials and inspection report for review by the applicable
County departments which typically consist of Parks, Recreation, and Conservation Department,
Risk Management Division, Public Works Department, and Emergency Services Department. The
Coastal Division shall schedule the presentation of the application to the BOCC and notify the
contractor and property owner of the meeting date. The Coastal Division shall present the
application(s) on behalf of the Applicant(s). It is recommended that both the contractor and property
owner(s) be present at the meeting to answer any additional questions which may arise.
The Board will then either approve or deny the application and subsequent closure of the County
Property being utilized for the project access. Upon approval of the request, the Natural Resources
Department shall facilitate the execution of a "License Agreement" for use of the County Property
with the property owner's contractor. A sample "License Agreement" can be found in Appendix B.
Prior to construction, the County shall issue public notification regarding the closure period. The
contractor for the Applicant shall be responsible for setting up a variable message board (VMB) in
proximityto the County Property being utilized for construction identifyingthe times and dates of the
closures. The location of the VMB shall be subject to the approval of the County or local authority
owningthe roadway. The contractor shall also post the construction permit in a job box at the County
Property. Upon the completion of construction and County Property restoration, the Applicant shall
schedule a post -construction field review meeting with the Coastal Division to inspect the site and
confirm restoration was performed in accordance with the License Agreement.
In the event of an unforeseen emergency event, the County reserves the right to renegotiate the
license agreement and closure periods.

temporarily use the established beach access point at (insert.description) ("County Property") for
the limited purpose of locating certain heavy equipment onto the beach to perform emergency dune
construction activities on the Owner's property. The terms of this agreement are in accordance with
the Board adopted policy "Private Use of County Property for Emergency/Non-Emergency Coastal
Construction Access," and the requirements of the policy are hereby incorporated by reference. Use
of the County Property for this purpose is limited to between DATE to DATE between the hours of
HOURS to HOURS (the "License Period"), and is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1) Licensee shall pay a County Property use fee of $1000/day or $500/half day for the
License Period.
2) Contractor shall operate all equipment, or cause all equipment to be operated, in a safe
and prudent manner, adhering to all weight and traffic regulations (including but not
limited to vehicle speed and engine breaking) on all roadways, and in accordance with
any measures deemed necessary for public safety by County staff.
3) Contractor shall (a) keep the gates to the County Property securely locked at all times
except when opened for the passage of Contractor's equipment, (b) manage in a timely
and efficient manner any traffic issues that arise as a result of the Licensee's use of the
County Property, and (c) prohibit any public vehicular or pedestrian use of the County
Property during Licensee's dune construction activities. Contractor shall post "Beach
Closed" signs at the County Property entrance during Licensee's construction activities.
4) Any sand needed to establish a "sand ramp" for equipment to access the beach, or to
perform the dune construction activities, shall be provided and installed by Contractor.
Material/sand used for a sand ramp shall be consistent with the Natural Resources
Department Coastal Engineering Division's "Indian River County — Beach Fill
Specifications" which shall be provided to the Licensee with this License Agreement prior
to execution. Any damage by Licensee to the County Property shall be repaired to the
satisfaction of the County and at no cost to the County within a reasonable amount of
time depending on the nature of the repair, but no later than 5 days after expiration of the
license agreement, unless otherwise agreed upon by County. The agreed upon access
route shall be inspected/videoed by County staff with the Licensee present, prior to the
equipment mobilization to the identified County Property. Any sand placed to create the
`ramp' is not to be removed, but to remain in place at the County Property and to be
smoothed out such as to create a natural dune slope (3:1 vertical to horizontal grade,
unless otherwise specified or approved by the Coastal Division).
5) In order to prepare the site for equipment access, the Contractor may place: Clean sand
— consistent with requirements for Natural Resources Department Coastal Engineering
Division's "Indian River County— Beach Fill Specifications", OR composite or steel mats
— subject to acceptance by the Coastal Division; however, any placed material must be
removed by the Contractor as part of Site Restoration, except for the sand used for the
`ramp'. If the Contractor employs mats that break up under service loads during
construction, the Contractor shall (a) remove all pieces of the broken mats, and (b)
replace the broken mats.
6) The Contractor shall restore any pavement striping, signage, vegetation (including dune
vegetation), and County Property improvements that may have been damaged as a direct
or indirect result of the construction activities to an equal or better condition upon
completion of the work underthis Agreement and demobilization of equipment, facilities,
vehicles and crew from the County Property. These activities must be deemed complete
and acceptable by County Staff prior to release of Licensee from Agreement
requirements.
7) The County assumes no liability for loss of or damage to Contractor's equipment or
personal property staged or stored at the County Property. Any such equipment or
property shall be staged or stored at the sole risk of Contractor. All equipment shall be
stored west of the vegetated dune line and shall be removed from the County Property
prior to the expiration of the license period.
8) Contractor shall minimize construction impacts to residential communities in proximity
to the worksite (i.e. work hours 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, construction noise, equipment
vibration, dump truck tailgate slamming, etc.).
9) Both Owner and Contractor, as Licensee, shall indemnify the County for any damage to
County Property structures, roads, vegetation, or other County Property features
resulting from the performance of the dune construction activities, or this Licensee
Agreement. Any such damage shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the County, or
Licensee shall pay the County the reasonable cost to repair any such damage as
determined by the County. Licensee shall also indemnify and hold harmless the County,
Commissioners, and its officers and employees, from liabilities, damages, losses and
costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, to the extent caused
directly or indirectly by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongful misconduct
of the Licensee and persons employed or utilized by the Licensee in the performance of
the dune and beach access repairs, or this License Agreement. Licensee's obligation to
indemnify and hold harmless under this Agreement will survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement until it is determined by final judgment that an action
against the County for the matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the
applicable statute of limitations.
10) Contractor shall post a $10,000 construction bond with the County prior to starting the
project, which shalt be returned to Contractor upon satisfactory completion of the
project and the restoration of County Property. If Licensee fails to complete the project or
fully restore County Property, County shall be entitled to complete the project and
restoration, which shall be funded from the bond proceeds. In the event the bond
proceeds are not adequate, Licensee shall be fully responsible for the amount to finish
the project and/or restore the County Property.

PRIVATE USE OF COUNTY PROPERTY FOR EMERGENCY
COASTAL CONSTRUCTION ACCESS
submitted for processing to the Natural Resources Department, Coastal Division, and approved
through the County Administrator.
2. Statement
On March 5, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to develop a process whereby
private entities can request approval for use of County Property for coastal construction project
access. This direction was in recognition of the fact that private beach -front entities experience
significant erosional activities requiring remediation/restoration activities which may include
requesting use of County Property for such construction access purposes, and there is no formal
process to facilitate these requests. A formal process is required so that the Board has sufficient
information to determine whether the proposed use of County Property for coastal construction
activities either reasonably or unreasonably affects the public and can make a determination on
whether or not to authorize the requested use. This policy does not apply to ongoing, routine
maintenance, for which access is the sole responsibility of the property owner.
3. Eligibility
Only beach -front coastal properties located within Indian River County, and in possession of a valid
FDEP Coastal Construction Control Line Permit, FDEP Emergency Field Permit, and/or other

equipment mobilization to the identified County Property. Any sand placed to create the
`ramp' is not to be removed, but to remain in place at the County Property and to be
smoothed out such as to create a natural dune slope (3:1 vertical to horizontal grade,
unless otherwise specified or approved by the Coastal Division).
5) In order to prepare the site for equipment access, the Contractor may place: Clean sand
