,.~ oW ,.... Coastal High Hazard Area - .. The Sunny Isles Beach coastal high hazard area is the land located seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL). It is the area that is likely to suffer the greatest damage resulting from a major storm and is part of the designated FEMA wne.

There are no public infrastructure facilities or shore protection structures located within this area. - - - ... - Land Use & Other Plan Components .. .. The Need for Additional Water Dependent and Related Uses - While the City has a supply of residential developments with private dub and marina uses, it lacks a large inventory of commercial marine uses. The most significant problem and consideration in attracting or developing new water dependent or related uses is location. New endeavors should be designed in such a way as to be compatible with neighboring uses, particularly residential complexes. Careful consideration must be given to both location and size. Locating large active water dependent uses along Sunny Isles Boulevard is not likely to be advantageous. - .. .. .. .. Infrastructure Needs - Since most of the coastal management area is already served by adequate facilities and services the primary infrastructure issues are oriented towards maintenance and the correction of certain deficient components. - .. - .. The necessary potable water and sewage treatment plants are located outside of the coastal management area. The water and sewer lines, within the City, are located underground and protected against any significant damage as a result of coastal storms. Damage is more likely to be a result of the removal and uprooting of vegetation. Damaged lines could be repaired in place or could be relocated to non-vegetated areas. - - - ... Sections of the coastal area would benefit from the sizing of certain lines, particularly water lines. The section on the City's Infrastructure and the Water and Sewer Master Plans present reconunendations on these improvements. Water and sewer line improvements should also be designed according to the needs and characteristics of specific devdopment or redevdopment projects within the coastal area. Additionally, it is recommended that the City examine the possibility of requirements for sanitary wastewater disposal systems for Adantic Island. - .. - - - Furthermore, above ground dectrical and telephone utilities often create problems during storms and are not an aesthetically desirable component of the quality of development and character Sunny Isles Beach is attempting to achieve. The feasibility of under-grounding utilities should be explored. - .. .. The limited amount of increased land use redevelopment and growth does not warrant any significant change in the levd of service of local roadways. - ..
