Commission vacates Tuscany Shores beach‑access easement contingent on DEP approval of nearby ADA dune walkover
Summary
The commission approved Ordinance 2025‑17 to vacate a beach‑access easement at 2901 S. Atlantic Avenue (Tuscany Shores) but made the ordinance effective only if the DEP approves a proposed ADA dune walkover at nearby St. Kitts Park.
Daytona Beach Shores commissioners voted unanimously Oct. 7 to vacate a public beach‑access easement that crosses the Tuscany Shores condominium at 2901 South Atlantic Avenue, contingent on state environmental (DEP) approval of a planned ADA dune walkover at nearby St. Kitts Park.
Community Services Director Stewart Cruz told commissioners that if the St. Kitts ADA dune walkover is permitted and built, the city would no longer need two public beach accesses in such close proximity. Staff said the DEP permit application has been submitted, consultants are responding to a request for additional information and a final design will be resubmitted. The ordinance contains an effective‑date contingency: if DEP approval is not obtained, the commission will revisit the matter.
The measure passed on a 4‑0 vote with no public speakers. City staff said that, if the dune walkover proceeds, the vacation would remove the easement that traverses the condo property and its garage; if not, the city will return to the commission for further action.
