62B-26.001: Description of the Walton County Coastal Construction Control Line
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To amend Rule 62B-26.001, F.A.C., reestablishing the Coastal Construction Control Line for Walton County, to more accurately define that portion of the beach dune system which is subject to severe fluctuations based upon the 100-year storm surge and storm waves, and thus define the area within which special siting and design considerations are required to ensure protection of the beach dune system, proposed or existing structures, adjacent properties, and to ensure the preservation of public beach access.
SUMMARY: The legal description of the location of the Coastal Construction Control Line in Walton County.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The estimated annual net cost to the Department for administration of the coastal construction control line program for the affected properties in Walton County was calculated as $5,900. One-time costs for rule promulgation; including staffing, professional fees, travel, and notices, inclusive, are estimated to be approximately $401,000. The proposed Walton County Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) has moved landward from the existing CCCL on 340 properties. However, for all but 96 properties, a landward relocation of the CCCL is not likely to affect the property owner’s requirement to comply with Section 161.053, F.S. and Chapter 62B-33, F.A.C. Developers of these properties will incur higher construction and regulatory costs and will benefit only as a member of the general public or if they intend to live in the constructed units. Owners of developed property will directly benefit through a lessened chance of damage to property and a lower probability of damage from adjacent properties. The general public will not bear direct costs and will receive certain benefits, including preservation of the beach dune system, less damage due to storm waves, and lower costs for disaster relief. This rule has no economic impact on those properties seaward of the existing Walton County Coastal Construction Control Line, as established in 1982.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

(Substantial rewording of Rule 62B-26.001, F.A.C., Description of the Walton County Coastal Construction Control Line. as follows. See Florida Administrative Code for present text.)

Description of coastal construction control line established in compliance with Section 161.053, Florida Statutes, said control line lying along the Gulf of Mexico coast from Okaloosa County and Walton County Line easterly to the Walton County and Bay County Line.

Said coastal construction control line is related to a series of “Permanent Reference Monuments” (P.R.M.) designated and hereinafter referred to as “60-76-A03”, “60-76-A05”, “60-94-DA03”, “W629 2004”, “60-76-A12 through 60-76-A14”, “60-94-A15 azimuth mark”, “high 1872 1935”, “60-94-A19 azimuth mark”, “60-76-A19”, “60-94-DA08”, “60-76-A24”, “60-94-DA09 azimuth mark”, “60-94-DA09”, “60-94-DA10”, “60-94-DA14”, “60-76-A30”, “60-76-A37”, “R-0-B-T 1979”.
