Small Management Plans, Minor Plan Amendments and Incompatible Use & Linear Facilities Policy Requests Highlights

Management Plans for Properties 160 Acres and Smaller

The Office Of Environmental Services has received the following land management plans for properties 160 acres and smaller in size. Acquisition and Restoration Council (ARC) members who wish to have any of these plans placed on a formal ARC agenda for discussion should contact Jim Farr (jim.farr@dep.state.fl.us), ARC Staff Director, prior to the date indicated below. Please note that at least three ARC members must make the request for a plan for a property smaller than 160 acres in size to be scheduled for an ARC agenda. If we do not receive three requests by the stated deadline to schedule a plan for consideration at an ARC meeting, the plan will be approved.

 

Ocean Beach Boardwalk Land Management Plan (St. Lucie County, 3.73 acres, lease # 2526)

 

St. Lucie County has submitted the Management Plan for the Ocean Beach Boardwalk.  This site is designated as a single-use property, and was leased for the purpose of preserving, developing, operating and maintaining said lands and property for outdoor recreational, park, conservation and related purposes.  Users may enjoy the area for swimming, fishing, sunbathing, walking and picnicking.  The site serves as a park on the Atlantic Ocean, complete with parking, restrooms, pavilions and picnic tables.  The property partially encompasses a beach dune natural community, an imperiled habitat, as well as the green turtle and loggerhead turtle, both imperiled species.

The link below contains the plan and associated maps.  The plan will be approved by the Division of State Lands unless three ARC members request that it be placed on an agenda for consideration at a future Council meeting.  The deadline for requesting that it be considered by ARC is Friday, May 4th, 2012.

Minor Amendments to Management Plans

Incompatible Use Policy/Linear Facilities Policy Requests

 

At its meeting on April 15, 2011, the Acquisition and Restoration Council (ARC) approved a process to streamline approval of requests for determinations of compliance with the Incompatible Use of Natural Lands Policy and the Linear Facilities Policy of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Governor and Cabinet).  For certain small-acreage access and utilities easements, especially across recreational trails and for landlocked parcels, the Division of State Lands will post requests on its website and inform ARC members and interested parties by email.  If three or more ARC members ask that the request be placed on a future ARC agenda, the Division will schedule it for a future meeting.  Otherwise, the Division will approve the request without taking it to ARC.
