Wrecking the Landscape

The high dirt banks along some of Brevard's roads and the sand dunes

in many of our wilderness areas have taken on a different appearance

during the past year or so from the natural look that had existed for

hundreds of years. Many of them are now defaced with ruts and have

badly eroded crests. This is not a natural erosion caused by water or wind. it is a

man-made erosion caused by the re- cent popularity of the "sport" ow dune

buggies and other "off-the-road" types of vehicles, .including some

motorcycle riders. These sand dune riders get their

kicks from the wild ride a n d challenge of their motorized sport. It

is not their intent to injure the land and destroy the beauty of the coun-

tryside for others. But this i s nevertheless an unfortunate

byproduct of their sport. We generally take a liheral at- titude toward any activity that is,en- joyed by it's practitioners, as long as

it doesn't harm or endanger other members of society.

Although the dune buggie may not offer a direct threat to the health or

safety of the public, it does seem a threat to the general welfare in some

abstract ways. For the few minutes of pleasure it affords a dune buggy

pilot, it leaves an enduring scar on the land that cheats others of the

natural beauty of nature. And there may also be some more concrete ob-

jections at least in some beach areas.

"There's no question that they do cause environmental damage," says

Rep A. H. "Gus" Craig, D-St. Augustine, chairman of the House

Natural Resources Committee. "As time goes on and you keep getting

more of them, (dune buggies, etc.) you're going to have to find some place to put these people. I don't think you can do away with them. You have to realize that they're here

to stay, but you have to keep it from getting completely out of hand," he

said. Craig's committee will be holding

hearings soon on a couple of bills designed to protect the peace and integrity of the great outdoors.,One is

a bill by Rep. Bill Fulford, D-Orlan- do, to regulate air boats, and the

other is a bill by Rep. Don Tucker, D- Tallahassee, to ban dune buggies

from most beaches. State Recreation and Parks Director Ney Landrum says the pro-

blem of dune buggies "is bad enough so that we're trying to take some

steps to get it under control.' We agree that some limits and

controls should be placed on the in- discriminate use o f off-the-road

vehicles before our state suffers very much more needless destruction.

Restrictions were p 1

a c e d on halftracks and other swamp rigs in

game management areas not long ago. These should be expanded and

extended to cover other damaging vehicles and lands outside game

management areas. Perhaps there could he some

specified areas around the state where this type of activity could be

allowed. We hate to see more and more

restrictions placed on the public, but the thoughtless abuse by some dune

buggy drivers makes such action seem necessary

Beaches Land Plan

Faces CommissionDecember 9, 1972

ny BLANTON McBRIDEStaff Writer

Brevard County commissioners gota final rundown Wednesday on aproposed beaches land use plancompiled by the Brevard CountyPlanning Department on a crashbasis in the last 90 days.

The plan, already subjected tothree public hearings in the beachesarea, is on the agenda of thecommission for final approval today.

JOHN HANNAH, Brevard Countydevelopment director, outlined thebasis for the correlated land useplan as the need developedapproximately eight months ago.

According to Hannah, the beachesland use plan is the first of fourprograms, the second will be asimilar use plan for Merritt Island,the third will evolve around themajor interchanges in the county anda fourth will tie all the programstogether.

Utilized in the preparation of thebeaches plan were the Brevard areatransportation study; the county'sutility plan; population predictions,including the 1970 census; and otherplans and statistics in the !gaping_inventory.

"WE TIED IN other considerationsbeyond the standard concepts in landuse planning," Hannah said. "Thesewere existing land use, existingdensities and the capacity of pro-posed transportation facilities; reli-ability of the water supply andexpansion potential and adequacy of

sewage systems and expansionpotentials."

Based on predicted populationoccupying different types of dwell-ing units, it was determined that by1995, the beaches area of BrevardCounty from the cape south toSebastian Inlet would have anestimated population of 114,300 withan ultimate possibility of 170,500 inthe area.

"The plan takes into considerationthe present existing land use withinmunicipal boundaries and attemptsto establish compatible contiguoususage in the county," Hannah said."There has been no attempt todictate to the cities how they shouldzone their lands."

FOR THE PURPOSE of the study,Hannah said they set up to five unitsper acre as low density, from six to15 units as medium density and from1510 as high density residential.

Densities recommended in thenian are not based on presenttransportation facilities but onitinrovement of »recent roads. Theplan recommends two additionalmairond access roads or causewaysto the beaches area.

A zoning board recommendationmade part of the report is that thearea south of Melbourne Beach toSebastian allow a total of only 15acres for motel development at 40units per acre. This is based on thesix laning of AlA and a totalpermanent residential developmentof 24,000.

"WITH TOURISTS and throughtraffic, we will be talking about

79

to

0

60,000 vehicles a day," Hanna said it?.To questions regarding the

tions placed on the purchaser ofbeach frontages at up to $500 perfront foot, Hannah said developershave already sounded out the plan-ning department on proposals forplanned unit developments, townhouse and the like, based on tenunits or less per acre.

Ed Washburn, county planner,said the land use plan was to beconsidered a guide, flexible enoughto incorporate future changes intechnology.

"ALL SYSTEMS,water, sewer, areeach other," he saidunless something isto water source inbefore 1980, theretrouble."

To a suggestion by commissionerGene Roberts a plan should not beone that copld be altered everytimesomeone wanted a change, Wash-burn noted it was a "planner's hopeto produce a plan never needingchange but the possibility of changesin technology must be taken intoconsideration."

Both Washburn and Hannahindicated the 90 day program toproduce the plan was sufficient andthey would not come up with adifferent plan if six months were .

produced are the third and mostdetailed ever prepared for thecounty and the first based on the 1970census.

Port CanaveralActivity Rising.

TODAY Waitids061114.4 1173Cargo handling at Port Canaveral has

nearly tripled in the past five years, whilevalue of the cargoes has quadrupled.

According to figures from the FloridaState Chamber of Commerce, the SpaceCoast's outlet to the sea has been boomingwith imports, while exports have remainednegligible.

Port Canaveral handled 1.3' million tonsof cargo last year, with a total value of $28million.

Imports accounted for all but about65;000 tons of the traffic. The importsmostly fuel oil, cement and newsprintwere valued at $25 million; exports weremostly citrus products.

Port Traffic in 1971 totaled 1.2 milliontons, also valued at $28 million. According tothe state chamber of commerce, exportsconsisted of a mere 850 tons of citrusproducts. The 1971 imports consisted of920,000 tons of residual fuel oil (used by thepower stations of Florida Power & Light Co.and the Orlando Utilities Commission),2i7;600 tons of cement and 32,000 tons ofnewsprint (printing paper for TODAY andthe Orlando Sentinel-Star).

In previbus years, exports were evensmaller than in 1971, while imports wereexpanding rapidly. Cargo handled at the portin 1968 totaled '453,000 tons, valued at $7Million. This rose to 831,000 tons worth $15million in 1969 and to 1 million tons worth$19 million in 1970.

"We're gaining a little bit every year,"commented George King Sr., Canaveral PortAuthority manager. Fuel oil and newsprintimports have been rising steadily, he point-ed out, and cement imports would be rising&Met-seas plants could supply it.

Ponce Inlet Demanas

Erosion Remedy FastPenne/ Stir Mow

DAYTONA BEACH The beefed-up Ponce Inlet Port Authority mayrush into beach erosion remedies, anarea where the U. S. Army Corps ofEngineers fears to tread without afive-year study.

Property owners insist the sea iseating away sand from the inlet atleast a mile north. They believe theloss is less than that two months agowhen high winds formed six-footwaves which eroded more than 30horizontal feet of beach in abouttwo weeks.

THE CORPS refuses to acknow-ledge there is any erosion in thearea. Under its contract with theauthority, a local taxing agency,Army engineers constructed jettiesto stabilize the inlet and mustmaintain them perpetually.

Director William Carlton of theFlorida Bureau of Beaches andSlr.es calls the jetties poorlydesigned and thinks they aid erosionprocesses.

He believes pumps could lay sandon the gnawed out beach but unlessthe jetties are changed, "the project

ixould be a waste of time."

THE CORPS refuses to acceptresponsibility for erosion. Only after"careful study" five or moreyears will it Elite), the jetties, paidfor by the authority.

The corps several weeks ago spentabout 590,000 to dredge sandpresumably from the beachdeposited on the channel between thejetties.

At a meeting this week in Jackson-ville, sponsored by Sen. Lawton

Corps public relations ofGene BroWn called a corps-

authorized study of the inlet "merelya routine study we make whenever ,we put in a new structure. We try todetermine the effects where thesand is going compared with wherewe thought it would go before webuilt the jetties."

Sunday, April 29, 1973 3--B

ENGINEERS SAY making thechanges in the jetties would -beinexpensive.

Van Wert noted the port authoritywould still need approval from thecorps to make the changes in thejetties, "but if we went to them witha study which proved the jetties arecausing the problem and a proposalto correct the problem with our ownmoney, I don't think they would turnus down."

One member of the port authorityagreed and added: "Why should theCcirps object? We'd be spending themoney to correct their mistake."

The port authority now has about$500,000 originally earmarked for

1 construction of a port which could bediverted to pay for changes in thejetties and could levy up to one mill(about $725,000) a, year to pay forimprovements.

Currents are building two sandbars,from the inlet about a mile south,but the corps denies it is responsibitfor erosion.

EARLY THIS month three newmen apppointed by Gov. ReubinAskew, joined the five-man authorityboard. Privately they say with ettwithout the corps something mustbe done about erosion.

The contract says only the corpscan approve jetty changes.

Leon Van Wert, port authorityattorney, believes that body mil*push for an independent study of tkainlet.

The attorney called authority fundraising for inlet design and changes"a definite possibility."

THE DAYTONA Beach Chamberof Commerce cited "serious" beacherosion in a letter to the armyengineers and demanded"immediate remedial action."

A study to determine what needs tot

be done at the inlet could cost$50,000 and could be completed idseveral months, local engineers say.

A beach -"nourishment" project "to

replenish sand in the badly erodedsections of- beach could cost $500,000.
