Issue: Action Item - Construction of Docks and Piers on Right-of-Way
From:	Horace Jones
Department:	Development Services

RECOMMENDATION:

A Public Hearing Concerning Construction of a Pier on County Right-of-Way

That the Board review and approve the application of David and Alyssa Brandeberry for permitting of a dock on right-of-way located at 2125 Bainbridge Avenue, Pensacola, FL 32507, Parcel I.D. # 35-2S-31-1000-015-035, that has been dedicated to the public, but not yet opened, maintained, or otherwise accepted by the County per the Land Development Code (LDC) 3-1(g).

BACKGROUND:

On August 8, 2013, the Board adopted Ordinance 2013-37 to establish a process to obtain permits for construction of docks and piers on right-of-way that has been dedicated to the public, but not yet opened, maintained, or otherwise accepted by the County upon authorization by the Board of County Commissioners.

This change to the LDC was based upon the fact that there are platted subdivisions that dedicate waterfront right-of-way to the public and in some instances the County has not accepted these dedications. Upland property owners often desire to build docks, piers, and similar structures on or across the area dedicated to the public.

The submitted application has been reviewed by the Development Services Department staff and has been found to meet all of the criteria required for the issuance of this permit.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

No budgetary impacts are expected as a result of the recommended Board action.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

N/A

PERSONNEL:

No additional personnel are required for implementation of this recommended Board action.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

The Board Chairman will need to sign the Certificate authorizing the permit.

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

The authorization shall not be construed as a vacation or acceptance of the dedicated right-of-way.
