Background:
On December 12, 2019, the Planning Board approved a 6,000 square foot single family residence
at the property (Development Order No. 19-0004).
Request and Analysis:
The Applicant is proposing to remove a 715 square foot existing dock and replace it with a 544
square foot marginal dock, install 158.5 linear feet of seawall within 18 inches waterward of the
existing seawall, and install an eight (8) pile 40,000 pound capacity boat lift for the property located
at 4205 Intracoastal Drive.
Pursuant to Section 6 -128 of the Town Code, no bulkhead, seawall, or retaining wall shall be
erected or constructed in any water, canal or lake, or on land abutting thereon, within the limits of
the town, unless plans and specifications have been submitted to and approved by all federal, state
and county agencies with jurisdiction over such construction activities, the planning board and the
town consulting engineer, with a copy of such plans and specifications being filed with the town .
The Applicant has obtained Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) approval for
the above-referenced items (File No. 50-166851-004-005-EE). According to the Applicant’s
FDEP authorization (dated June 8, 2020), the proposed request does not require a separate permit
or authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers . Note that the Applicant’s FDEP
authorization includes an additional 15,000 pound capacity boatlift with a 120 square foot
platform. Since receiving FDEP authorization, the Applicant has chosen to remove this additional
boat lift from their Development Order application (No. 20-0009).
Pursuant to Section 30-68(g)(6)(d)1. of the Town Code, the Applicant’s request is in compliance
with the required 25 foot side yard setback for accessory marine facilities located in a single -
family zoning district . In addition, the Applicant’s request is consistent with the definition of bo at
lift provided in Section 30 -131 of the Town code as follows:
Boat lifts means the bottom of the keel of any boat shall not be hoisted greater than one
foot above the minimum seawall elevation. In no case shall the lift be higher than the
superstructure of the boat when lifted.
Upon receipt of the Applicant’s Development Order Application and subsequent application review
by staff, Section 6-128(b) of the Town Code required all seawalls west of State Road A1A to be in
excess of plus six (+6.00) feet elevation above mean sea level. As a result, the Applicant is proposing
a 6.10 foot elevation of the seawall. Note that on January 5, 2021, the Town Commission approved
Ordinance No. 2021-001 which requires all seawalls west of State Road A1A to be at Base Flood
Elevation (BFE) or higher as provided by the FEMA FIRM maps. The BFE is currently 6 feet.
The Applicant’s request is consistent with the special exception provisions of Section 30-36 of the
Town Code, were applicable, including consistency with the Town Comprehensive Plan and Code
of Ordinances.
Page 27
Section 30-67(b) of the Town Code indicates that docks, seawalls, and boat lifts in the Residential
Single Family (RS) zoning district require special exception approval by the Planning Board. Section
30-36(a) of the Town code states that the Planning Board may approve, approve with conditions, or
deny a request for special exception relating to seawalls, bulkheads, retaining walls and accessory
marine facilities.
Staff recommends approval of the special exception request to replace a 715 square foot dock with
a 544 square foot marginal dock, install 158.5 linear feet of seawall, and install an eight (8) pile
40,000 pound capacity boat lift subject to the following conditions and based on the plans date
stamped received by the Building Department on January 12, 2021:
1. Following approval by the Planning Board and prior to initiation of construction, the
Applicant will be required to obtain a building permit from the Town of Highland Beach
Building Department.
2. Pursuant to Section 30-21(g) of the Town Code, commencement of construction shall be
initiated within two (2) years following the date of approval by the Planning Board.
Completion of all conditions of approval shall occur within two (2) years following the date
of approval by the Planning Board.
Plans meet Town of Highland Beach Zoning and other governmental agencies
requirements, and are consistent with the Town Comprehensive Plan.
Plans meet Town of Highland Beach Zoning requirements; however, approvals are
pending before the Town of Highland Beah will issue permits, with other
governmental agencies as listed.
Plans do not meet Town of Highland Beach Zoning requirements.

Re: File No.: 50-166851-004-005-EE
File Name: Bernier
Dear Gestion Bernier:
On June 4, 2020, we received your request for verification of exemption to perform the
following activities: (1) replace an existing 715 sq. ft. dock with a 5 ft. by 108.65 ft.
(approximately 544 sq. ft.) marginal dock, (2) install a boatlift with a 120 sq. ft. platform, (3)
install a second boatlift (without a platform), (4) install 158.5 ln. ft. of seawall within 18 inches
waterward (wetface to wetface) of the existing seawall, and (5) install king and batter piles. The
project is located in the Intracoastal Waterway, Class III Waters, adjacent to 4205 Intracoastal
Drive, Highland Beach (Section 4, Township 47 South, Range 43 East), in Palm Beach County
(Latitude N 26° 24’ 3.73”, Longitude W 80° 4’ 4.21”).
Your request has been reviewed to determine whether it qualifies for (1) regulatory exemption,
(2) proprietary authorization (related to state-owned submerged lands), and (3) federal approval
that may be necessary for work in wetlands or waters of the United States.
Your project qualifies for all three. However, this letter does not relieve you from the
responsibility of obtaining other federal, state, or local authorizations that may be required for
the activity.
If you change the project from what you submitted, the authorization(s) granted may no longer
be valid at the time of commencement of the project. Please contact us prior to beginning your
project if you wish to make any changes.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Chloe Gossett at the letterhead
address or at (561) 681-6674, Chloe.Gossett@FloridaDEP.gov.

1. Regulatory Review – VERIFIED
Based on the information submitted, the Department has verified that the activities as proposed
are exempt, under Chapter 62-330.051(5)(b) and (12)(b), Florida Administrative Code, from the
need to obtain a regulatory permit under Part IV of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes.
This exemption verification is based on the information you provided the Department and the
statutes and rules in effect when the information was submitted. This verification may not be
valid if site conditions materially change, the project design is modified, or the statutes or rules
governing the exempt activity are amended. In the event you need to re-verify the exempt status
for the activity, a new request and verification fee will be required. Any substantial
modifications to the project design should be submitted to the Department for review, as changes
may result in a permit being required.
2. Proprietary Review- NOT REQUIRED
The activity does not appear to be located on sovereign submerged lands, and does not require
further authorization under chapter 253 of the Florida Statutes, or chapters 18-20 or 18-21 of the
Florida Administrative Code.
3. Federal Review - APPROVED
Your proposed activity as outlined in your application and attached drawings qualifies for
Federal authorization pursuant to the State Programmatic General Permit V-R1, and a
SEPARATE permit or authorization will not be required from the Corps. Please note that the
Federal authorization expires on July 26, 2021. However, your authorization may remain in
effect for up to 1 additional year, if provisions of Special Condition 19 of the SPGP V-R1 permit
instrument are met. You, as permittee, are required to adhere to all General Conditions and
Special Conditions that may apply to your project. Special conditions required for your project
are attached. A copy of the SPGP V-R1 with all terms and conditions and the General
Conditions may be found at https://www.saj.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/Source-Book.
Authority for review - an agreement with the USACOE entitled “Coordination Agreement
Between the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Jacksonville District) and the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (or Duly Authorized Designee), State Programmatic General
Permit”, Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbor Act of 1899, and Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act.
Additional Information
Please retain this letter. The activities may be inspected by authorized state personnel in the
future to ensure compliance with appropriate statutes and administrative codes. If the activities
are not in compliance, you may be subject to penalties under Chapter 373, F.S., and Chapter 18-
14, F.A.C.

The failure to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that
person's right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and
120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent
intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the discretion of the
presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C. If you

conditions of the SPGP V-R1 does not automatically guarantee Federal authorization.
8. On a case-by-case basis, the Corps may impose additional Special Conditions which are
deemed necessary to minimize adverse environmental impacts.
9. Failure to comply with all conditions of the SPGP V-R1 constitutes a violation of the Federal
authorization.

Register of Historic Places or those eligible for inclusion in the National Register. Prior to the
start of work, the Applicant/Permittee or other party on the Applicant’s/Permittee’s behalf, shall
conduct a search of known historical properties by contracting a professional archaeologist, and
contacting the Florida Master Site File at 850-245-6440 or SiteFile@dos.state.fl.us. The
Applicant/Permittee can also research sites in the National Register Information System (NRIS).
Information can be found at http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/research.
a. If, during the initial ground disturbing activities and construction work, there are
archaeological/cultural materials unearthed (which shall include, but not be limited to:
pottery, modified shell, flora, fauna, human remains, ceramics, stone tools or metal
implements, dugout canoes or any other physical remains that could be associated with
Native American cultures or early colonial or American settlement), the Permittee shall
immediately stop all work in the vicinity and notify the Compliance and Review staff of
the State Historic Preservation Office at 850-245-6333 and the Corps Regulatory Project
Manager to assess the significance of the discovery and devise appropriate actions,
including salvage operations. Based on the circumstances of the discovery, equity to all
parties, and considerations of the public interest, the Corps may modify, suspend, or
revoke the permit in accordance with 33 C.F.R. § 325.7.
b. In the unlikely event that human remains are identified, the remains will be treated in
accordance with Section 872.05, Florida Statutes; all work in the vicinity shall
immediately cease and the local law authority, and the State Archaeologist (850-245-
6444) and the Corps Regulatory Project Manager shall immediately be notified. Such
activity shall not resume unless specifically authorized by the State Archaeologist and the
Corps.
Page 40
11. The Permittee is responsible for obtaining any “take” permits required under the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service’s regulations governing compliance with these laws. The Permittee should
contact the appropriate local office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to determine if such
“take” permits are required for a particular activity.
12. For Projects authorized under this SPGP V-R1 in navigable waters of the U.S., the Permittee
understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States require the removal,
relocation, or other alteration, of the structures or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of
the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or work shall cause
unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the Permittee will be
required, upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural
work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be
made against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
13. The SPGP V-R1 will be valid through July 26, 2021 unless suspended or revoked by
issuance of a public notice by the District Engineer. The Corps, in conjunction with the Federal
resource agencies, will conduct periodic reviews to ensure that continuation of the permit during
the period ending July 26, 2021, is not contrary to the public interest. The SPGP V-R1 will not
be extended beyond July 26, 2021, but may be replaced by a new SPGP. If revocation occurs, all
future applications for activities covered by the SPGP V-R1 will be evaluated by the Corps.
14. If the SPGP V-R1 expires, is revoked, or is terminated prior to completion of the authorized
work, authorization of activities which have commenced or are under contract to commence in
reliance upon the SPGP V-R1 will remain in effect provided the activity is completed within 12
months of the date the SPGP V-R1 expired or was revoked.
Special Conditions for Shoreline Stabilization Activities
1. Shoreline stabilization materials must be placed by hand around red mangrove prop roots
(Reference: JAXBO PDC A1.3.).
2. Living shorelines can only be constructed in unvegetated, nearshore water along shorelines to
create tidal marshes or mangrove habitat for the purpose of shoreline erosion control or aquatic
habitat enhancement. Native plants can be placed along the shoreline or between the shoreline
and the living shoreline structure (Reference: JAXBO PDC A7.4.).
3. Living shoreline structures and permanent wave attenuation structures can only be
constructed out of the following materials: oyster breakwaters, clean limestone boulders or stone
(sometimes contained in metal baskets or cages to contain the material), small mangrove islands,
biologs, coir, rock sills, and pre-fabricated structures made of concrete and rebar that are

seagrass, will be presumed to be present for purposes of this Special Condition.
(2) Outside the range of Johnson’s seagrass but within the range of seagrass (estuarine
waters within all coastal counties except for Nassau, Duval, St Johns, Flagler and
Volusia County north of Ponce Inlet) and within tidal waters, the presence of seagrass
and tidal freshwater submerged aquatic vegetation will be determined using the
“Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Survey Guidelines” (Attachment 7) unless a site visit
or aerial photography observes absence during the growing season (if water depth and
clarity allows) or aquatic vegetation has not been found in the vicinity in the past.
(3) Pile-supported structures, IF aquatic vegetation is present (including seagrass, tidal
freshwater submerged aquatic vegetation and emergent vegetation), THEN must
comply with or provide a higher level of protection than, the protective criteria in the
joint U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’/National Marine Fisheries Service’s
“Construction Guidelines in Florida for Minor Piling-Supported Structures
Constructed in or over Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV), Marsh or Mangrove
Habitat” updated November 2017 (Attachment 5).

current seagrass survey or,Johnson’s seagrass under the dock,
(ii) New docks or dock expansions and:
(a) within Johnson’s seagrass critical habitat; or,
(b) within the Range of Johnson’s seagrass (outside of critical habitat) with: No
current seagrass survey (completed no earlier than 1 year before submitting the
application) or, Johnson’s seagrass within property limit.
c. The following additional restrictions apply when required by paragraphs 8.a.(2) or 8.b.(4),
above (Reference: The following replicates the “Dock PDCs for Scenario B” within
A2.17. PDCs for Docks or Other Minor Structures of JAXBO.):
Page 44
(1) To avoid and minimize impacts to Johnson’s seagrass and native, non-listed seagrasses
to the maximum extent practicable:
(i) The dock must be positioned to avoid and minimize effects to Johnson’s seagrass.
(ii) Over any area that contains Johnson’s seagrass or native, non- listed seagrasses,
the dock shall be oriented in a north-south orientation to the maximum extent that
is practicable to allow maximum sunlight under the structure.
(iii) If practicable, terminal platforms shall be placed in deep water, waterward of
Johnson’s seagrass beds or native, non-listed seagrasses beds or in an area devoid
of Johnson’s seagrass or native, non-listed seagrasses.
(iv) Piles must be spaced a minimum of 10 ft apart in any area that contains Johnson’s
seagrass to minimize direct impacts.
(v) Piles shall be installed in a manner that will not result in the formation of
sedimentary deposits (e.g., donuts or halos) around the newly installed pilings.
(vi) No covered boat lifts are allowed over any Johnson’s seagrass.
(2) Decking options: Deck surfaces (parallel with the water) that are located waterward of
the MHWL must be constructed of grated materials or plank construction or a
combination of the both methods (e.g. plank decking on the walkway and grated
decking on the terminal platform). These decking options are described below:
(i) For grated decking:
(a) Height requirement: The surface of the structure, including the dock walkway
(the over- water narrow portion connecting the terminal platform to the shore
and any over-water ramp required for access) and the dock, must be a
minimum of 3 ft above MHW when constructed with grated decking.
(b) Size limitations: The dock walkway is limited to a width of 4 ft. The terminal
platform is limited to a total area of 160 ft². Marginal docks are limited to a
width of 5 ft. The 5 ft width restriction is measured from wet side of the
seawall. For example, if a seawall cap is 3 feet overwater then the dock would
be limited to 2 feet.
(c) Material description: Decking materials shaped in the form of grids, grates,
lattices, etc., to allow the passage of light through the open spaces. These
materials must provide a minimum of 43% open space.
(ii) For plank decking:
(a) Height requirement: The surface of the structure, including the dock walkway
(the over- water narrow portion connecting the terminal platform to the shore
and any over-water ramp required for access) and the dock, must be a
minimum of 5 ft above MHW when constructed of plank decking.
(b) Size limitations: The dock walkway is limited to a width of 4 ft. The terminal
platform is limited to a total area of 120 ft². Marginal docks are limited to a
width of 5 ft.
(c) Material description: Deck boards may be constructed of any material. Deck
Boards must be installed to provide a minimum of a 0.5-in gap between
individual deck boards.
d. Aids to Navigation in Acropora critical habitat. The distance from Aids to Navigation
(ATONs) to ESA-listed corals and Acropora critical habitat shall ensure there are no
impacts to the corals or the essential feature of Acropora critical habitat from the
movement of buoys and tackle. The appropriate distance shall be based on the size of the
anchor chain or other tackle to be installed to secure the buoy to its anchor, particularly
when the design of the ATON does not prohibit the contact of tackle with the marine Page 45
bottom. In all cases, buoy tackle will include flotation to ensure there is no contact
between the anchor chain or line and the marine bottom (Reference: JAXBO PDC
A2.10.).
