Big, ‘fluffy' dunes prompt concerns in Belleair Beach
By WAYNE AYERS, TBN Correspondent Nov 15, 2023 Updated Nov 23, 2023 BELLEAIR BEACH — Though residents are glad to have sand dunes damaged in Hurricane Idalia reconstructed, some are dismayed at the size of the new dunes.
The county’s $20 million shoreline restoration project has brought as many as 250 trucks a day to Belleair Beach carrying sand from Orlando.
Speaking at a Nov. 6 City Council meeting, resident J.J. Zwirn said hazards are created by making the dunes so high. He said elderly people have a hard time climbing up and down the dunes in walking to the beach.
“Hopefully they will level it off somewhat, so everyone can have access to the beach,” Zwirn said.
He also mentioned that the higher dunes cut off the view of the beach for some condo residents.
Mayor Dave Gattis said he was told it isn’t feasible to cut paths through the dunes.
“Anywhere there is a low point, it’s going to act as a funnel,” Gattis said. “If we have a storm surge, that’s where the water’s going to go.”
City Manager Kyle Riefler agreed, saying the intent of the design is to keep the paths going over the dunes.
A concern raised by council member Frank Bankard was that this trucked-in sand is fluffy, compared to the wet sand dredged for beach renourishment projects over the years.“One good storm is going to suck it back into the ocean; I can’t see that sand lasting too long,” Bankard said.
Riefler said he will talk to county representatives.
“This is the first beach project I’ve seen where they trucked the sand in, so I’m not sure what their explanations are,” he said.
In a later email message to residents, Gattis said, “We are considering all possible solutions to resolve these issues as construction continues.”
