End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The Board of County Commissioners approved a Temporary Use Agreement for 1800 Lake Drive on May 21, 2024. Section 62-2131 Brevard County Code allows the Board of County Commissioners to consider a temporary use of property, where such temporary use results in a direct public benefit and meets criteria specified in Section 62-2131 (1-9). The purpose of this agreement is to provide temporary office space and equipment storage for NRM personnel to fulfill the County's obligation to conduct vegetative harvesting and maintenance of County stormwater ponds to reduce nutrients discharging to the Indian River Lagoon and St. Johns River as required in Section 62-2131 (1). It is anticipated that over 7 million pounds of vegetation will be removed in the current fiscal year. Two modular offices will be relocated from the Titusville Airport to 1800 Lake Drive, Cocoa, FL, to provide office space. The area immediately surrounding the modular building will be fenced for employee parking and equipment storage.
A six (6) foot vinyl fence has been constructed, and a vegetative buffer will be established along the western boundary of the use area and will serve as a buffer between this site and the neighboring subdivision. Additionally, native trees and vegetation will be preserved on-site. The duration of the agreement is one (1) year with the option to request additional time extensions.
Property owners within 1,000 feet have been notified as required in Section 62-2131 (8).
