Solera, Community Development Director <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />6/18/2009 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Sea Turtles Protection Regulations on the Beach Area Adjacent to <br />Existing and Proposed Developments <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance <br />creating guidelines for lights along the beach area, related to the protection of <br />turtles and turtles nesting. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />The Community Development Department performed a study of various <br />municipalities and counties in the East and West Coast of Florida. The City of <br />Sunny Isles Beach does not have an ordinance that regulates the installation of <br />lights along properties located in the East side of Collins and adjacent to the <br />beach. As the City of Sunny Isles Beach area is a location used by turtles during <br />the month that expand from April 1 through October 31 of each year for nesting <br />purposes, this ordinance will provide additional protection for this type of <br />endangered animal species. Below is a list of the locations that were visited by <br />the Department during the survey that was conducted prior to the creation of this <br />ordinance, and the condition that was found during the visit: <br /> <br />Location Name Address Condition Found Steps Necessary to <br /> correct condition <br />Tropicana 15645 Collins Security Lights on Relocation of the lights <br />Condominium A venue the edge of the to shine towards the <br /> property ground (Corrected) <br />Sayan 1627 5 Collins Fluorescent Lights Re-direct the lights <br />Condominium Avenue shining onto the towards the inside of <br /> beach the building <br /> <br />nni-~ <br /> <br />erA <br />t. -I Q-(\/1 <br /> <br />http://sibagenda.si bfl.net/agenda/Preview .aspx?l temID=26&MeetingID= <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br />
