Conditional Use - Drulard Dune Crossover - 620 South Ocean Drive

SUBJECT:

Quasi-Judicial Hearing - Review and approval of an application for Conditional Use with New Construction submitted by the property owner Lawrence Drulard, for new construction located seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) at 620 South Ocean Drive, Fort Pierce, FL. The property is zoned Hutchinson Island Medium Density Residential (R4-A).  The Parcel ID: 2401-503-0002-400-9.

SUMMARY:

  • In accordance with Sections 22-66 & 22-76 of the City Code, the applicant is requesting the review and approval of an elevated dune crossover that will supplement the existing residence. The structure is for one of five townhouses that are connected.  There is a City right–of-way abutting the southern portion of this property that is being used as a beach access point and the Atlantic Ocean abuts the eastern boundary.
  • This dune crossover is considered an after-the-fact request for approval as the applicant applied for and received building permits for the construction of this dune cross over and the structure has already been completed.
  • Since the constuction is seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) a Conditional Use approval is required.
  • The applicant has also received all applicable approval from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for construction of this structure. During the Building Permit process, the St. Lucie County Erosion District had the opportunity to regulate the development of this dune crossover as it fell within their Perpetual Construction Easement. After speaking with the applicant and his representative, the St. Lucie County Erosion District declined to take any action on the dune crossover and that the dune crossover could remain as is.
  • The Planning Board at their meeting on June 11, 2019 voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the request as presented by staff.
