EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the conceptual plan for replacement of the
Vanderbilt Beach restrooms and approval to move forward with design,
permitting and bidding of a new beach park facility at this location along with
authorization of associated budget amendments.
OBJECTIVE: Obtain conceptual plan approval for the replacement of the Vanderbilt
Beach restrooms and approval to move forward with design and permitting of a new
beach park facility at this location.
CONSIDERATIONS: The BCC directed staff on January 15, 2008 to develop a plan to
upgrade the existing Vanderbilt Beach restroom facility to address overall community
needs consistent with current County practices and existing beach park facilities. The
existing Vanderbilt beach restrooms are approximately 15 years old, in need of
significant refurbishment and are undersized to meet current public demands.
Vanderbilt Beach is one of the County's most popular beach parks. Adequate beach
parking exists at this location through the recently completed parking garage on
Vanderbilt Beach Road.
The layout for this new facility is within the vegetation buffer just to the south of
Vanderbilt Beach Road and located within the existing footprint and just slightly west of
the existing bathrooms. The new and existing facilities are located seaward of the State
of Florida's Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) and the County's Coastal
Construction Setback Line (CCSL). Construction of this new facility will require a permit
from the State of Florida and CCSL variance from the County. The facility is also
outside /seaward of the existing SFWMD preserve boundary and located within the
existing beach vegetation line to assure that beach views from Vanderbilt Beach Road
looking west and views walking along the beach are not compromised.
The plan includes:
• Elevated construction to conform the FEMA Vertical Elevation (VE) guidelines of
VE 16. This requires that the structure be elevated 10 feet above the
approximate beach elevation of 6 feet. The Restroom and Concession building
will be approximately 30 feet above the beach elevation with possibly only the
very tops of these structures visible above the tree canopy.
• A total facility footprint of 3,800 SF that includes:
o An elevated facility of 2,650 SF that houses:
1. A 750 SF elevated bathroom that houses 6 women's commodes
and 2 urinals and 2 commodes for men.
2. A 400 SF elevated concession stand providing similar menu items
currently served on the beach.
3. A 1,500 SF elevated deck with seating for eating and beach
viewing.
0 1,150 SF of ramps and stairs to allow handicap access to this facility.

o Ground floor facilities that will be used for concession storage, equipment
storage, shade structure for beach goers, a dumpster position and a lift
station for waste removal.
• Improved landscaping and aesthetic upgrades to the turnaround at the west end
of Vanderbilt Beach Road.
• Completely encapsulated by existing and proposed vegetation to protect resident
and visitor privacy and beach views.
These facilities are consistent with the existing beach park facilities at Tigertail, Clam
Pass, Barefoot and Lowdermilk Park which have concessions and elevated facilities at
Barefoot, Clam Pass and Tigertail.
Staff has reviewed these plans extensively with the Pelican Bay Foundation and the
surrounding community. The Pelican Bay Foundation holds restrictive covenants on
this parcel as a condition of the property deed transfer. On February 27, 2009 by a vote
of 7 -0, this plan received conceptual approval from the Pelican Bay Foundation. On
May 21, 2010, the Pelican Bay Foundation granted approval of this facility with the
stipulation that the County add security cameras, night time lockable gates, and
approval of the concession operation prior to startup. The county is also required to
obtain Pelican Bay Foundation approval of the detailed construction specifications and
drawings prior to construction. A copy of the May 21, 2010 Pelican Bay Foundation
approval letter is attached.
Staff has also reviewed these plans with several interested homeowner associations in
the community.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: This plan has also been approved
by the PARAB on February 18, 2009 by a vote of 4 -0.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Cost of this facility is estimated at $1,200,000 and will be
provided from Category A Tourist Development Tax Fund 183 — Beach Park Facilities.
A budget amendment will be required to allocate the necessary funds from Fund 183
reserves.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management
Plan related to this action.
