Communications from Citizens A) A report of the feasibility study for controlling beach erosion for the area from Jupiter Inlet to south of Carlin Park. Mr. Robert Clinger, Coordinator of the Beach Erosion Control Program, Palm Beach County Engineering Depart- ment, assisted by Mr. Thomas Campbell, President, Coastal Planning and Engineering, reviewed the beach renourishment project proposed upon completion of the feasibility study for the area south of Jupiter Inlet to south of Carlin Park. The study included beach restoration profiles, bathymetry, seismic studies, salt water intrusion and the impact on adjacent beach front properties. . Various dredging cuts and the associated wave pat- terns to the inlet and beach were reviewed along with dune enhancements along the Jupiter Beach area. The proposed project consists primarily of removing the sand-bar near the inlet and dredging an area approximately 2,500 feet offshore which will pro- vide approximately 500 thousand cubic yards of sand for the beach renourishment. The project as pro- posed is anticipated to last for approximately five years. Mr. Clinger indicated he was meeting with Councils of various municipalities in the area and the Jupiter Inlet District to secure their approval prior to the County beginning the design phase of the beach re- nourishment program. Mr. Clinger noted the project cost was estimated at 2 million dollars, 75% to be paid by the state and 255 to be paid by the County. Upon completion of the presentation, Mayor Stoddard told Mr. Clinger that the consensus of Council was that the engineering study address the concerns of the residents of Jupiter Inlet Colony in the design phase of the plan. • • Minutes of Meeting December 9, 1986 Page 3 - --------------------------- B.
