Summary Explanation and Background:
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. 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 will be constructed and a vegetative buffer 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.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
