Memorandum
September 18, 2009

From: Beth Bergh, Monroe County Land Steward

Subject: Request to close Richard Road, Big Pine Key
The purpose of this memo is to request the closure of the western portion of Richard Rd,
Big Pine Key. As shown in the attached map, this portion of Richard Rd is undeveloped
and terminates on the open water of Pine Channel. The parcels just south of the
undeveloped ROW are owned and managed by the USFWS for conservation purposes.
Currently, the road is accessible by vehicles, which enables dumping and other illegal
activities. The County has received recent complaints related to these issues from
concerned neighbors. In order to avoid further dumping and damage to this natural area,
I am requesting that a barricade of some kind be placed at this location. The barricade
should allow for pedestrian access. I would be happy to meet with you on site to discuss
the situation.
Thank you for your help. If you have any questions or if you need additional
information, please feel free to contact me at x 2511.
