A REFERRAL TO THE
DISGUSSION REGARDING SEAWALLS,
BACKGROUND
At its September29,2015 meeting, the Mayor's Blue Ribbon on Flooding and Sea Level Rise, a
discussion was brought up by one of the Commissioners with regards to seawalls with low
elevations that allow high tidal waters to flow to over the walls and into private property or to the
public right-of-way. The Committee made a motion to bring this item to the City Commission and to
refer it to the Land Use and Development Committee (LUDC), to discuss developing a policy
concerning enforcement and making requirements to have those walls brought up to present
standards of the City. The discussion would include the potential of increasing the current standard
from 3.2 NAVD and other variations concerning higher elevations based upon existing homes and
new construction.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the referralto the
LUDC for discussion and further direction.
