Item 7 - Community request to initiate an MSTU/BU process for beach restoration in
Ponte Vedra Beach. Through the Chairman, property owners in Ponte Vedra Beach,
including the recently formed Save Ponte Vedra Beach, Inc., are requesting the
County to initiate the process to create an MSTU/BU to fund a beach restoration
project in Ponte Vedra Beach. Staff will seek Board direction regarding this request.
During Hurricanes Matthew and Irma, the area between the Duval County line and
Guana Park lost over 760,000 cubic yards of sand, and 0.9 miles of the area was
designated a critically eroded beach by the FDEP. Continuing beach erosion is
threatening many oceanfront structures. Following Hurricane Irma, members of the
community came together to address the beach erosion issues, and formed Save
Ponte Vedra Beach, Inc. (SPVBI). The group hired Olsen Associates Coastal
Engineering to assess the sand loss on the Ponte Vedra beachfront over the last
thirty-two years. SPVBI aims to restore the lost sand via a beach nourishment
project. SPVBI has conducted an informal survey to determine community support
for the project, and wishes to share the results with the Commission. If authorized
by the Board, staff will initiate a formal process of determining Community support
and bring back to the Board the appropriate MSTU/BU funding mechanism for
Board consideration.
