Dear R~Plesentative Saunders:
We rece~ved your letter concerning CS/CS/HB 118 and Barry has asked
that I ,respond to you.
I
Section ~ of CS/CS/HB 118 is not applicable to Monroe County
because it addresses barrier islands in counties where coastal
construction control lines have been established. There is a 50
foot se~back line established by the state for all coastal property
in Florida but the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has never
established coastal construction control lines in Monroe county.
DNR does not consider Monroe County to be within its coastal
construction control line jurisdiction because it has no naturally
occurring sand beaches.
Section 2 of the bill is applicable to Monroe County only if beach
driving is currently authorized by the county ~r any local
government within the county. This section provides that
authorized beach driving can be continued only if the local
government determines that less than 50 percent of the parking
spaces needed during peak user demand times is available. This
determination is to be made by the local government in accordance
with rules established by DNR. To my knowledge, none of the local
governments in Monroe County have authorized beach driving, so
section 2 is also inapplicable.
I have enclosed a copy of the chapter law and the staff analysis
tha~ we prepared for this bill and updated at the end of session.
