Title

Sector 7 Beach and Dune Restoration Project Easement Status and Project Options

Recommended Action

Staff recommends Option 3 to the Board. While staff is of the opinion that the easement issue is at an impasse, staff will continue to reach out to property owners to obtain easements. Staff will also reach out to the FDEP, LGFR Grant staff, and FEMA to inquire about extending the funding for an additional year. Staff also requests the Board authorize staff to investigate the purchase of property within Sector 7 for beach access to enhance our funding options for future Sector 7 beach nourishment projects.  Additionally, staff has been unable to locate property that could be used for construction access to the Sector 7 beach, thereby substantially increasing the cost for the project even if easements are obtained.
