City staff member Christina presented the application and the attached General Land Office comment letter. Staff said the applicant's mitigation plan would move roughly 460 cubic yards of sand cut on the lot to re-elevate vegetated dune areas on the same property, and would provide vegetation mitigation seaward of the line of vegetation at a 1:1 ratio.

Staff explained the permit is required because the site is seaward of the city's dune-protection line; Christina said the dune protection line is tied to the east right-of-way of Padre Boulevard. Task force members asked for a map and staff pointed to the lot near the southern cul-de-sac on Breakers Boulevard.

Shoreline Task Force member Todd made a motion to approve the permit; Abby seconded. The motion carried by voice vote.

Staff noted that smaller inland lots without dunes receive a simplified permit process; this application required the full mitigation plan because it involved dune impacts.

The task force approved the permit application and staff will track mitigation and planting work in permit compliance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","South Padre Island - SHORELINE TASK FORCE - Apr 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Shoreline Task Force approved a beach-and-dune permit for a single-family residence at 8206 Breakers Boulevard in the Shores subdivision after reviewing a mitigation plan to move approximately 460 cubic yards of sand on-site and replant dunes at a 1:1 ratio.","taxTitle","South Padre , Cameron County, Texas","taxId",57359,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6603757,"Task Force approves CAPRA Cycle 14 submissions, public raises erosion hazard at Corley bay ending",1677,82900,1760070,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2998087-6e1cfe39ce95be700e30cbbdf64eda0b&start=82&end=1760","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2998087-6e1cfe39ce95be700e30cbbdf64eda0b/thumbnail_82900.jpg","/articles/6603757/Texas/Task-Force-approves-CAPRA-Cycle-14-submissions-public-raises-erosion-hazard-at-Corley-bay-ending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603757-eeb7d1a0988cd13043d3a231652eca6b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771120634&Signature=fOT1fnKnPk0iRfiqyVMpgi-JZPBXHVNgBdXFzQCIAdyFRIiFfQmBej312xIay8AfRbqrWmwj24DwGWxFEFnUSc2hUUVByu0B7qc2KSiBGCUlSRD5YjoZI2UF2Ja6vKI8LfBsZnN~294WxGyFMs5Zc6H0Yc9PCFsUAfTZOTHyOBGDXYRMXNCuCtTeZlAltC97-h6FtfyNjbmIwJoA5ic8LVRpumMFGf~4dPn1TW-9AxQl4JT3kr5Gl08mDubGuDlfbevECSahea28bU~6ldKR5gJaGJAesCfb6qHxmRZNv62TJpmnaB9cgwcqUg9NH8IRr1SUhL6~QzhljCeVtXBbrw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a special meeting, the Shoreline Task Force voted to recommend that City Council submit three grant applications under the Coastal Erosion Planning and Response Act (CAPRA) Cycle 14: a beach renourishment project (in partnership with the General Land Office and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), an expansion of the annual beach-and-dune monitoring program to more frequent LIDAR surveys, and a South Padre Island bayside living-shoreline project focused on up to 10 street endings where bayside erosion is most severe.

The motion to approve submission was made by a task force member and seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.

The CAPRA discussion followed a public comment earlier in the meeting from resident Mike Lindstrom of West Corley Drive, who said recent heavy rain had “significantly eroded the ending of the street” and urged the city not to wait for a planned renovation. Lindstrom told the task force: “I don't think it can wait for a planned renovation of that bay ending because it's now a hazard.” He said the undercutting created a safety risk for people using benches, bikes or boats at the street ending and that he had photographs.

City staff described the CAPRA package and the program's requirements: proposals for CAPRA Cycle 14 are due May 1, staff said; beach renourishment projects carry a minimum 25% local match and other project types require a 40% match. Christina told the group CAPRA typically makes about $40,000,000 available annually.

On the bayside living-shoreline proposal, staff said preliminary feasibility work and designs had been done previously (with National Fish and Wildlife Foundation funding) focusing on the west side of Tompkins Channel. The current CAPRA proposal would narrow the focus to right-of-way street endings (staff identified about 10 streets, more on the northern side) and pursue designs to replace previous short-term riprap fixes with sloping, vegetated living-shoreline solutions for erosion control and flood protection. Staff noted right-of-way widths vary (staff said a 50-foot width in some places) and that deeper engineering/permitting work will be needed to define how far seaward the work can proceed before reaching existing Tompkins Channel lease areas.

On monitoring, staff recommended contracting for LIDAR drone surveys for two years rather than buying equipment; the intent is to create seasonal baselines and post-storm comparison data. Several members asked procedural and technical questions about procurement and prior contractors; staff said they would put monitoring work out for proposal.

The task force voted to forward the CAPRA applications and requested a mayoral letter of support for the submissions.

Public comment on Corley was explicitly noted by staff as part of the sites under consideration for the bayside proposal.","The Shoreline Task Force voted to recommend three CAPRA Cycle 14 grant applications — beach renourishment, expanded beach-and-dune monitoring, and a bayside living shoreline for streets including Corley — after a resident warned of an immediate erosion hazard at the Corley street ending.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6603761,"Shoreline Task Force recommends engineering for four beach accesses and construction funding for Blue Water Circle",808,426020,1234535,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2998087-6e1cfe39ce95be700e30cbbdf64eda0b&start=426&end=1234","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2998087-6e1cfe39ce95be700e30cbbdf64eda0b/thumbnail_426020.jpg","/articles/6603761/Texas/Shoreline-Task-Force-recommends-engineering-for-four-beach-accesses-and-construction-funding-for-Blue-Water-Circle","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603761-1c3ed559f42a8ba7ce6a84990fce18fd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771120634&Signature=E1R9reUda~Y5yXS92VGj1Ln3CJL9yLzzJ2M5Tkzdgj5oFQwqfqJvu68CfKCF-9leRhCUjoNJYj1kKdoAvEq-IDk90idJuypNusP2KmS2Bs7wrZUb~PO9s~~2dTH3nGkcappqRYl9ow1kEUCYINf-cJJdrvYsUeDukKtgpeYvWdZ1cEpItSyXH8hdu9ti5YFvjC7bU2IB-iNkHRjvNtx8vGaXTJFUdw4IzDSQAwtQ1~mx8znwo39YuoSVRkn~7NOiWhfGHw-qoUu6Z6Ul9Jz3E9xJB0aAEGAJYyo-~44zVliBKR3cl78OaKuniYB3iU5J2F1h9TQR8SqrfvCzSTXK5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a special meeting, the Shoreline Task Force recommended that the city submit Coastal Management Program (CMP) Cycle 31 funding applications to pay for engineering on four beach accesses and to pursue full construction funding for Blue Water Circle, along with a project of special merit for land acquisition.

City staff member Christina told the task force that CMP Cycle 31 proposals are due June 6 and described two funding “pockets”: NOAA-funded CMP grants and state GOMESA-funded projects. Christina said NOAA-funded rounds typically have about $1,800,000 available; construction requests can be up to $400,000 with a local match requirement (staff cited a minimum match in the discussion), and non-construction research requests are limited to smaller amounts and different match levels.

The staff recommendation focused on phasing work so designs are ready when construction funding becomes available. Christina outlined recently completed and in-progress accesses (Whitecap, Sea Island and Fantasy completed; Neptune Circle under construction) and proposed engineering for Surf Circle (access No. 7), Bougainvillea Circle and Poinsettia Circle. She singled out Blue Water Circle as the most straightforward candidate for full construction funding and recommended pursuing land acquisition as a project of special merit.

Shoreline Task Force member John made the motion: to proceed with engineering for Gulf (Gulf Circle), Surf Circle, Treasure Island and Poincietta (Poinsettia) Circle; to pursue full construction funding for Blue Water Circle; and to include a land-acquisition project. The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.

Task force members asked staff about timing and design readiness. Christina said engineering and preliminary plans for Blue Water Circle should be near final and would make it the best candidate for construction funding; other accesses have more complex site constraints that staff prefer to resolve before seeking construction dollars. The group discussed phasing and fiscal prudence: applying for engineering funds to create stamped plans that can then be used to apply for larger construction grants.

The task force voted to forward the recommendation to City Council for submission under CMP Cycle 31.

The task force also handled routine business earlier in the meeting, approving a five-item consent agenda by motion (mover: Abby; second: Todd).","At a special meeting the Shoreline Task Force voted to recommend that City Council pursue CMP Cycle 31 applications to fund engineering for four beach access projects and seek construction funding for Blue Water Circle, plus a land-acquisition project of special merit.","actionData","errors"]
