The Sanctuary waterfront guide
The Sanctuary’s island setting and coquina-wall records make access, shoreline material and private-property responsibilities useful first questions.

Get to know your waterfront
The city maps Sanctuary separately from the neighboring Village area. Named waters around its mapped edge include Cimmaron and Cochise waterways. A city permit on Old Oak Drive South describes coquina seawall work with separate seawall and stormwater finals. Use that as a reason to establish your actual wall system and records; it is not evidence that every Sanctuary property has the same construction.

Identify the system behind the visible stone
Ask the assessor to identify the retaining system, not just the visible facing. Photograph loose material, displaced sections and changes in the ground from safe access. Give the contractor gate, delivery and staging constraints early. Any proposed use of common property or neighboring land needs to be resolved before a construction date is promised.
Local records worth knowing
- Sanctuary is a distinct official neighborhood feature.
- The Village is separately mapped beside it.
- Cimmaron Waterway appears along the mapped Sanctuary area.
- Cochise Waterway is another named adjoining waterway.
- The Old Oak Drive South permit describes a coquina seawall and 2024 finals.
Find the relevant permits and records
| Starting point | What to resolve | Prepare and look up |
|---|---|---|
Palm Coast Building Services | Confirm the parcel, proposed scope and current submission route. | Bring parcel ID, survey and the work description. 386-986-3780. |
Environmental and waterway review | Identify existing drainage approvals, habitat and any state or federal review. | Show alignment, access and all connected work. |
What could the work cost?
Request material-specific repair details and allowances for controlled access. A generic concrete-panel price cannot describe a different retaining system or the cost of restoring disturbed landscaping.
Published Florida planning ranges, not Palm Coast quotes. Confirm the full scope for your property.

Plan your The Sanctuary project
Describe the location and what has changed. Keep your survey and any earlier records with the project notes.
The Sanctuary project questions
Can I assume a coquina wall is just decorative?
No. The visible material does not establish its structural role. Have a qualified professional identify the retaining system and the appropriate assessment before moving stone or adding fill.
Keep planning
