[1400 Elizabeth Dr.; case SAP-2026-0005] The Lakes & Waterways Board is scheduled to meet on April 14, 2026. A key agenda item is a Public Hearing for a Seawall Application (SAP-2026-0005) at 1400 Elizabeth Dr. The applicant is Judith Leavitt, with Hodgskin Outdoor Living as the contractor and Sheila Cichra as the permitting agent. The proposed seawall is 40 feet long and will be a Vinyl Seawall with a concrete cap and natural stone. It is an existing structure that requires revegetation. Staff recommends approval. The board will also discuss Weedoo Operations, which involves aquatic vegetation removal. Data from 2023-2025 shows significant debris and weed removal, with Weedoo introduced in 2023. Cost analysis for Weedoo operations in 2025 was $37,070.21, and a projection for 2026 is $63,591.42. Staff updates include information on aquatic plant management, canal cap repairs, a Killarney Harmful Algal Bloom update, water quality, and upcoming events like 'Run for the Trees/Mother Earth Day' and 'Fix It! Don't Pitch It!'. [1837 Lake Spier Dr.; 561 Via Lugano; case BLDR-2026-0005; BLDR-2025-0812] On March 10, 2026, the Lakes & Waterways Board approved two boathouse/dock applications. BLDR-2026-0005 at 1837 Lake Spier Dr. was approved unanimously, with Lynne Wilson as the applicant, Albert Cichra as the contractor, and Sheila Cichra as the permitting agent. This application involved a seawall structure with no roof and no variance required. The board also unanimously approved BLDR-2025-0812 at 561 Via Lugano, with Ernestine Johnson Beattie as the applicant, Albert Cichra as the contractor, and Sheila Cichra as the permitting agent. This application involved a boathouse/dock with a requested 2ft variance for dock length (current length 32ft), replacement of a sundeck with a pitched roof, and revegetation. Staff had recommended denial due to the length variance not meeting code, but public comment from Sheila Cichra noted the dock's long-standing footprint and the need for the variance for boat fit. The board also received updates on Weedoo operations, noting debris removal in gallons from 2021-2025, with Weedoo introduced in 2023. Cost analysis for Weedoo operations in 2025 was $37,070.21. Staff updates also covered canal repairs in Genius and Venetian Canals, a Killarney Harmful Algal Bloom update, and the launch of a lakes dashboard. Upcoming events included a Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off, Weed Wrangle, Shoreline Restoration, and The Great Duck Derby.

b. Boathouse/Dock Application (BLDR-2025-0812) 561 Via Lugano
This notice concerns a boathouse and dock application, BLDR-2025-0812, for the property at 561 Via Lugano on Lake Maitland. The application, submitted by Ernestine Johnson Beattie, proposed modifications including a pitched roof addition to the boathouse and redecking and reroofing while preserving its walls. A two-foot variance for dock length was requested, as the current 32ft length needed to be extended for a boat to fit. The project also requires revegetation and involves removing a sundeck. This item has been approved by the Lakes & Waterways Board. The approved work involves construction trades for roofing, redecking, and potentially minor structural work on the boathouse, along with site work for revegetation. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in marine construction, general contracting, and landscaping could find opportunities by engaging early before final bidding and permitting processes are completed.

b. Lakes Management Update
The City of Winter Park's Lakes & Waterways Board is reviewing updates on lake management. This includes ongoing treatments for invasive plants like Cuban Bulrush and Hydrilla in Lake Spier. Work is also planned for Killarney Lake concerning a harmful algal bloom, with sample results pending. Agreements have been awarded for Shoreview and Canton related to a FDEP Innovative Grant for a Nanobubbler system. The city is also installing underground trash collection units, called CDS units, to capture debris from stormwater before it reaches lakes, which could help remove sandbars. Canal repairs are currently underway, beginning with seawall caps in Genius Canal and moving to Venetian Canal, with the latter expected to take 3 to 4 weeks. These ongoing lake management efforts present opportunities for contractors specializing in aquatic vegetation control, environmental consulting, stormwater management system installation, and marine construction for canal repairs. Early engagement with the city could be beneficial as these projects progress through their review and implementation phases.

d. Stormwater Management Update
The Lakes & Waterways Board is reviewing updates on stormwater management projects. This review includes information on the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and canal conditions. A specific system, the Continuous Deflective Separator (CDS), which removes trash from stormwater, was discussed. The board is considering presentations on various treatment systems.
