He reported there are currently two beach erosion"hot spots" in the County located adjacent to the La Playa to just north of the Ritz Carlton(R26—R30)and from Lowdermilk Park to Naples Golf and Beach Club(R61 —R633.5). The BCC has previously directed staff to develop a modified plan to move up the proposed FY13/14 renourishment to FY12/13. Upon investigation,the Biological Opinions required in the permit process preclude any renourishment other than a small scale truck haul project this year. CAC September 13,2012 VI-1 Approval of Minutes 3 of 4 In order to address the"hotspots,"staff has developed two options for consideration: Option 1 Emergency truck haul sand to the hotspots in Vanderbilt Beach and Naples Beach immediately after turtle nesting season to be followed by a comprehensive renourishment in 2014. Option 2 Do nothing immediately and continue with the 9/15/2013 to 6/1/2014 renourishment. Committee discussion occurred on the status of the major beach renourishment, ramifications of the required biological opinions, and the merits of the options outlined by Staff to address the "hot spots."
