Attention: Mr. L. Seton Lindsay, Mayor Dear Mr. Lindsay, June 28,19540 This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 15th. as to the basis on which the Board of County Commissioners on May 24,1954, approved the application of Murphy Construction Company to construct certain 30 foot groynes on the ocean beach in Gulf Stream. Three principal considerations entered this action. First, the Board of County Commissioners is required by law to act on such applications; however, in carrying out this duty, the Board does not thus become responsible for beach erosion. Second, approval of the application enables six owners to pro- tect their properties against further damage. Third, the pro- posed construction was of such small scale that the probability of its causing damage to other property seemed remote. With reference to the first consideration outlined above, it is my understanding that before an gpplicant is authorized to actually go ahead with work of this kind, the affected municipality must also approve his application. Information is not at hand as to whether Gulf Stream has received the application in question, but in any event it is hoped that the above will be of assistance in connection with the application in the event it is filed. Sincerely yours, signed Stephen R. Middleton, County Engineer. SRM: It cc: Mr. Sundy JAMES N. BOROWSKI P.E. Registered in Florida Consulting Engineer Michigan Murray Bldg., No Carolina 27$ So County Road Ohio Palm Beach, Florida Penna, COPY July 2,1954 Hon. L. Seton Lindsay, Mayor Town of Gulf Stream, Florida. Dear Sir: Reference is made to our discussion of the installations of groins in the Ocean in front of the T.T.Speer residence and the plans for this proposed work handed to you at that time. Information ifi furnished that a study of the beach con- ditions by the undersigned and several consultations since our dis- cussion lead me to of the opinion that to place groins 30t long at right angles to the bulkhead would not damage the beach properties to the south as far as the Iglehart Residence. As indicated in our discussion I withheld my opinion subject to further thought in the matter. It has xzK been definitely established that the littoral current passes southward in the northern hemisphere and is the carrier of the beach sands from the New England, Middle Atlantic and Southeastern States. These sands are deposited on the Florida Coast wherever there are natural or artificial barriers. Groins as proposed for the Speer Residence are designed to be in- stalled at a low top elevation to allows the deposit of sand with a minimum of scouring around the structure and to allow excess accretion to move on southerly. In view of my study in the matter I heartily endorse the groins as designed and hope that they will be permitted to retard the flow of sand which is continually carrying the sand south at a rapid rate into the Straits of Florida. Time will not be kind to our beaches and the supply of sand to the north is rapidly depleting,; these facts we must face and act accordingly. Very truly yours, JNB : fw signed: James N. Borowski MILETING OF TOWN COKKISS ON SITTING AS BOARD OF EQUALIZERS.
