A motion to approve removal of the "HCA Historical- Cultural .Landmark Preservation Overlay District from the Oak Park United Methodist Church, described as Oak Park Subdivision, Block 9, Lots 10, 11 and 12, located at 878 Oak Park Avenue, was made by Vice Chairman Huerta and seconded by Commissioner Nadkarni. Motion passed with Commissioners Adame, Guerra and Kelly absent. C. ACTION ON THE JOINT EROSION RESPONSE PLAN FOR NUECES COUNTY AND THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI Robert Payne, Planning Department, addressed the commission. Mr. Payne stated that Staff gave a presentation on the Plan at the April 11, 2012, meeting. Mr. Payne continued that last week Staff met with the Corpus Christi Surf Riders' Foundation and the Island Strategic Action Committee and both organizations provided positive input. Mr. Payne stated that on Wednesday, the Nueces County Joint Board (Nueces County Commission and the Nueces County Beach Management Advisory Committee) met and recommended that the plan be approved by the Nueces County Commissioners' Court. Mr. Payne continued one item was changed since the presentation was first presented to the Planning Commission in early April. In the plan presented in April, the setback stated 200 feet and it was changed to 350 feet. Mr. Payne referenced Section 10 -13, Code of Ordinances that establishes the erosion setback line. The ordinance and plan will be the same. The Erosion Plan was about using modem construction techniques and minimizing storm damage in the event of a hurricane. Mr. Payne stated State law was passed stating cities located near coastal areas had to adopt an Erosion Response Plan and such plan had to be reviewed by the Texas General Land Office. Mr. Payne stated "Beachfront Certificates" and "Dune Permits" were exempted from the 350 foot setback. 'Mr. Payne continued that platted lots that were within the 350 foot setback could be built on if the structure met all building standards. The structure had to be certified by a licensed Professional Engineer and the structure must be relocatable on pylons. Mr. Payne restated that the only change in the plan was the setback to 350 feet. The document was corrected and will match the proposed ordinance to adopt the Erosion Response Plan. Commissioner Tamez asked if there was an issue regarding the minimum width on the public beach and Mr. Payne answered that the issue was the narrowing of the beach in certain areas. Chairman Garza.asked if the recent ruling by the Texas General Land Office would have an impact on Corpus Christi and Mr. Payne answered that currently the ruling would not impact us, but it would affect Galveston. Commissioner Tamez asked if the setback of 90 feet for the vegetation line would prevent encroachment onto private land and Mr. Payne answered yes.. Mr. Payne continued that the State's passing of the "Open Beach Act," set the tone of how this would be handled. Mr. Payne cited that the Sessions' court case ruling determined that the house was located on a portion of the beach as a result of a "rolling easement" and the court ruled that it was still considered as private property. Vice Chairman Huerta asked Staff if a final consensus had been determined in setting the vegetation line and, if so, which line would be used as a marker to establish the setback. Mr. Payne answered no final determination has been made, but the definition of a "vegetation line" and its purpose makes the determination even more difficult. K:1DEVELOPMENTSVCSISHARED11.
