Instead, she called for natural solutions. Goldstein said Tampa and Sarasota Bays have already lost over 44% of their mangrove forests and said Vogler's proposed amendments to allow more sea walls and backfills as a solution to flooding and resiliency would make matters worse. "We are asking you to refrain from amending the county's comprehensive plan to codify sea walls and back-fills as the solution to erosion and flood control," Audubon Florida climate organizer Halle Goldstein said.

I'm looking for environmentally sensitive solutions to protecting our infrastructure and our property." "What we allow are the replacement of existing sea walls. "We have not allowed sea walls for 30 years, new sea walls," Servia said. Public concern arose following an email sent in March by attorney Ed Vogler to commissioners that requested language to allow fill material to be added to coastal properties to elevate it outside of flood zone designation, or allow construction of sea walls. Vogler represents well-known developers Medallion Homes and Neal Communities.Ĭommissioner Misty Servia clarified to the public that Manatee County does not allow new sea walls.

It also states that the techniques used "may employ methods that withstand inundation and minimize flood damage through environmentally sensitive flood-proofing techniques and strategies."Ĭounty Administrator Scott Hopes said the county took the language, almost verbatim, from the state statute, except for the addition of the term "environmentally sensitive." To comply, the county was required to add language to the comprehensive plan that allows property owners to "consider new development and redevelopment principles, strategies and engineering solutions that reduce flood losses" and insurance claims.

The change sparked concern among community members who oppose the use of sea walls or fill material to mitigate sea-level rise, citing the detrimental impact on mangroves and surrounding coastal habitats, as well as the impact on neighboring properties. The act requires Florida's coastal communities to address flood risks, such as high tide, storm surge, flash floods, stormwater runoff, and sea-level rise. Citizens concerned about protecting the environment breathed a sigh of relief when Manatee County approved changes to its comprehensive plan without language to allow new sea walls for flood mitigation.Ĭommissioners approved a comprehensive plan amendment last week to comply with Florida's Peril of Flood Act, which was approved in 2015.
