Title

Public Beach Access from the 5.38 Acre Parcel owned by the Town of Indian River Shores

Recommended Action

Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the following regarding public access from the Town property through the Tracking Station Oceanfront Park:  1.)                     Provide permission for the future owner(s) to construct only one (1) dune crossover, to serve all parcels, as permitted by the County and any other appropriate permitting agencies including, but not limited to, county dune permit, jurisdictional building permit, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection approval.  The property owner(s) will need to enter into a license agreement with the County for the dune cross-over structure.  This must be a non-exclusive access agreement addressing public access rights, liability, penalties for non-compliance, maintenance, replacement, and insurance. 2.) Item 1 is contingent upon the Town providing a 7’ non-exclusive public access easement from A1A to the Tracking Station Oceanfront Park along the south side of the property.  This public access easement must contain a deed restriction that would require approval of the County as well as the Town for any future changes or abandonment.  The existing fence is to be moved to edge of this easement.  3.)  Item 1 requires future owner(s) to provide nonexclusive public access from the existing north gate to the dune crossover.
