This item concerns the proposed establishment of a Dune Preservation Zone in St. Lucie County. This zone would cover lands from the mean high water line east to the western edge of the primary dune system, defined by vegetation and elevation. The zone's characteristics would align with the Beach and Dunelands environmental zone detailed in the St. Lucie County Barrier Island Study. Where the dune system's edge is unclear, a management or restoration plan based on natural coastal dynamics would set its boundary. This item is currently under review by the Board of Adjustments. The project involves defining and potentially managing coastal areas, which could lead to future site assessments, environmental studies, and possibly restoration or construction activities related to dune systems. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in environmental consulting, land surveying, landscaping, and potentially construction related to coastal management could find opportunities. Engaging early allows businesses to understand the project's scope as it develops and before formal bidding processes begin.
