State review
FDEP’s Northeast District reviews the dock, and the city allows it once a permit or exemption is granted.
The City of Fernandina Beach planning department reviews the dock against LDC Sec. 3.01.03 once FDEP or the Army Corps has granted a permit or exemption. Matthew’s 2016 surge at Fernandina Beach reached 6.96 feet.
Multifamily lots get one dock unless it is approved as a marina.
Why it matters
Tide range
The Amelia River’s tide range is much larger than South Florida’s, so a dock here needs ladders and floating sections planned for both extremes.
