New regulations impact garage sales and alcohol sales
New rules for garage and yard sales were adopted in January and will become effective April 27. These
sales are now limited to four per year per address in residential districts. They are required to take place any
time between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Garage sales must be registered with the city no later than three
business days in advance of the first day of the sale. Each garage sale may last up to three consecutive days. To
register after April 27, call (941) 486‐2626, ext. 28004. No fee is required.
Signs for garage and yard sales are also regulated.
Garage sale signs may not be illuminated and may not exceed a maximum area of 4 square feet. One
sign may be placed along the street at the place where the sale is being held and up to four other signs may be
placed in the city right‐of‐way between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. each day of the sale.
In another change of laws last month, alcohol and alcoholic beverages may now be sold every day, in‐
cluding Sundays, after 7 a.m. Sales between 2:15 ‐ 7 a.m. are still prohibited, except on New Year’s Day, when
sales are allowed until 3 a.m.
Important Notice: St. Augustine Avenue, on the island of Venice, is a one‐way street westbound as of Dec. 5.
The decision to make it one way was in an effort to eliminate some of the confusing traffic pattern and congestion
on Tampa Avenue, where four areas used to pour into Tampa in a just a few feet. Please watch for signs and
enter St. Augustine only from Tampa Avenue. To travel eastbound to Tampa Avenue in that area, use Nokomis
Avenue. Law enforcement will issue tickets to wrong‐way drivers.

Beach Renourishment
Update
• February: At this time, due to the me‐
chanical failure of the booster pump, the proj‐
ect is delayed for about two weeks. When the
contractor is able to start working again they
will pump from Flamingo Ditch north, then from
Flamingo Ditch south, and finally relocate
equipment to the north end of the beach and
pump sand to meet the parcel already com‐
plete. The work will take place around the clock
and is estimated to be completed by the end of
March or early April.
• Getting sand. The hopper dredge, Lib‐
erty Island, will be utilized during the project.
This 315‐foot vessel has a hopper capacity of
6,540 yards of sand, with a nominal digging
depth of 108 feet. It uses one stern anchor and
two bow anchors and will be stationed about
10,000 ‐ 12,000 feet offshore using a booster
system.
Hopper dredges are designed to vac‐
uum material from the sea floor through drag
arms that load the material into the hold of the
vessel. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock is the con‐
tractor.
• Background: This is the third restora‐
tion of Venice Beach since 1996 in accordance
with the city’s agreement with the Army Corps
of Engineers to renourish every 10 years for 50
years. The original nourishment in 1994 and
Venice City E‐News
1996 added 250 feet of sand seaward of the
high water line and what then was a minimal
stretch of beach due to erosion. The restored
beach serves to preserve natural and manmade
infrastructure from erosion, tropical storms and
hurricanes. It also serves to provide more sand
for endangered sea turtles, which normally nest
on the same beach where they hatch, to find
sufficient areas for nesting. Several species of
shorebirds also nest along the beach.
And, of course, the beach is essential to
the area’s greatest economic driver, tourism.
• Sand. A dredge will bring sand close to
shore from a borrow site about 9.4 nautical
miles offshore from the southern limits of the
project, then pump it through submerged pipes
onto the beach. Special screens filter unwanted
materials at the dredge and again at the end of
the pipe. Once the sand is on the beach, heavy
equipment is used to spread it to fill in the
beach template. Surveyors and inspectors will
monitor the sand and its placement to ensure
it meets specific standards for Venice Beach.
• Where will sand go? About 3.2 miles
of shoreline will receive around 791,000 cubic
yards of sand.
• When will the work take place? The
work will take place 24 hours a day, seven days
a week in order to expedite the project, which
is expected to be completed in three months,
barring unforeseen delays.
• Noise. There will be noise from
pumps, the use of heavy equipment and backup
alarms. The direction of the wind and other fac‐
4
tors may influence the way in which the noise
is perceived.
• Watching the action. The process of
renourishment is quite interesting to many peo‐
ple. It is important that people respect the signs
and markings designating safe areas from which
to watch the activities in the work zone. Boaters
should also refrain from entering the work zone
in the water.
• Protecting the environment. The City
of Venice will monitor sea turtles and shore
birds for their safety during the project.
Since this is not the nesting season for
sea turtles they will be less likely to be affected
by the project. The hopper dredge will use a de‐
flector to protect sea turtles from harm.
Coral and other bottom sea life will be
surveyed and photographed in advance of the
project and dredging and piping will be done
with consideration for these environmental
areas.
For questions and concerns, call Public
Information Officer Pam Johnson, (941) 486‐
2626, ext. 24005.
Fun Fact: A nautical mile is based on the
circumference of the planet Earth. If you were
to cut the Earth in half at the equator, you could
pick up one of the halves and look at the equa‐
tor as a circle. You could divide that circle into
360 degrees. You could then divide a degree
into 60 minutes. A minute of arc on the planet
Earth is 1 nautical mile. This unit of measure‐
ment is used by all nations for air and sea travel.
A nautical mile is 1.1508 miles or 6,076 feet.

The Past Connects the Future
Lord‐Higel House Update
The Lord‐Higel House, originally built
in 1896 and the oldest house in Venice, is cur‐
rently undergoing restoration.
Recently the wrap‐around porch was
placed around the structure that was moved
to Granada Avenue from the bayside 2005. It
was the second move for the house that
Joseph Lord built in his orange grove in the
area of Roberts Bay. The George Higel family,
among the earliest pioneers, lived in the
house while Higel took care of the groves and
wrote his Sarasota Times column.
Doors, windows, and a new tin roof
have all been restored or added. The work
has been done by volunteers with the help of
contributions from the community.
Next, fundraising begins to pay for the
restoration of the interior. For more informa‐
tion, visit www.veniceheritage.org.
Dine at DQ Grill and Chill, 1465 E. Venice
Ave., Feb. 11, from
5 ‐ 8 p.m., and 10
percent of your bill
will be contributed
to the restoration
of the Lord‐Higel
House.

US 41 Bypass widening update
Phase I of the US 41 Bypass widening begins in earnest in April. However, Florida Power
and Light will be moving light poles and transmission stations north of Venice Avenue beginning
Feb. 9. This part of the work will not interfere with traffic.
Phase I construction will take place along the bypass from Bird Bay Drive to just north of
Gulf Coast Boulevard. The project will add one lane in each direction, bike lanes and sidewalks.
Most of the work will be done at night.
Phase II will complete the project from Gulf Coast Boulevard to Center Road. Phase II
work has not been scheduled.
Once work begins, it will take a little more than two years to complete. The contractor
will have a sizable incentive to finish in 700 days.
For more information about the project, call Public Information Officer Pam Johnson,
Think Tank
The City Council will hold its annual Think Tank, Wednesday, Feb. 23, 8:30 a.m. at Venice

News from the Utilities Department
Above, utilities staff at the Eastside Water Reclamation Facility (EWRF) are performing an annual preventative maintenance cleaning of the aeration
basin. The basins play an integral part in the treatment of wastewater. Key functions are keeping the liquid and solids agitated, promoting the
transfer of oxygen into the wastewater. This is the beginning of the treatment process, which ultimately produces reclaimed water for irrigation.
EWRF Capital Improvement Projects
Aeration System and Headworks Expansion
Aeration and headworks improvements include a new grit removal system and a fine bubble diffuse air system with new blowers. The upgrades
improve the treatment system and afford substantial energy savings.
Reclaimed Water Filtration Improvements
Upgrading the reclaimed water filtration system eliminates the costly need to retreat the reclaimed water due to a battle with algae in the 37‐
million‐gallon storage pond. A grant was awarded to the city by Southwest Florida Water Management District covering 50 percent of this project.
