RESOLUTION NO.

-1981
FREREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA,
has received an application from J. Frederick Blitstein, Inc., and
WHEREAS, in compliance with State Statute, it is necessary as part of
the permitting procedure to read the following Biological Assessment into the
Record, as follows:
The Applicant proposes to reclaim land lost to erosion along 345 feet of
shoreline on Key Colony Channel, a natural waterway. The shoreline has
eroded to an irregular contour; the shoreline, after reclamation will be
straight; hence the waterward extent of the fill is from 5 to b7 feet. A line
of existing wood piles are located at the waterward limits of the proposed fill.
Per telephone, September 28, 1978, with J. Frederick Blitstein, rock rubble,
or a riprap revetment will be used to stabilize the new embankment. A total of
1500 cubic yards of fill will be placed, 100 cubic yards of which Hill be
above MEW. Work will be accomplished by bulldozer and dragline.
The project is located on the Coco Plum side of Key Colony Channel.
Key Colony Channel is a natural waterway that has, probably, been deepened
during dredging operations to build Key Colony Beach and Coco Plum Beach.
Coco Plum Beach is an area developed by dredging offshore and canals with the
spoil being used to enlarge the then existing land area. The substrate through-
out much of the area is fill consisting of rock rubble, sand and marl. Much of
the vegetation is primary colonizers such as saltbush (Baccharis sp.), railroad
vine (Ipomoea pes-caprae), salt grass (Distichlis spicata)and other various
forbs. Coco Plum Beach has a system of fourteen canals of which only the first
three have any significant amount of development.
The project site is an eroded marl embankment on the edge of a deep water
channel. Uplands are approximately 4-5 feet above MLW; consist of rock and
marl fill vegetated by the primary colonizers as mentioned under the above plus
scattered buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus). Due to the constant scouring by
boat wakes, the intertidal zone was unvegetated. Subtidal vegetation consisted
of the red algae Laurencia sp. from the southeast area, northwest up to about
the last 80-100 feet where Ruppia was established in the more shallow sandy zone
and Laurencia sp. in the deeper zone. The first 100 feet of the site to the
southeast was stabilized by riprapping. Chitons and various small fish were
observed on and around the rocks.
There will be no adverse impact from this project. A positive effect
will be brought about by the riprap being placed creating additional habitat and
stabilizing the embankment. Stabilizing the embankment will eliminate a source
of silt loading on the waters.
BE IT RESOLVED BY TRE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY,
FLORIDA, that the above Biological Assessment has been read into the record
and duly considered pursuant to Florida Statute 253.124 by the Board of
day of
February
1981
,
County Commissioners of MonroeCounty, Florida, this 24th

PURPOSE:
This project is to be reviewed by the County Commissioners
in accordance with ~onroe County Ordinance 13-1980, fill below
mean high ~,Tater.
DISCUSSION:
Applicant proposes to place approximately 1500 cubic yards of
fill along 300 feet of Key Colony Channel shoreline (1400 c.y.
waterward of !fHW and 100 c.y. landward of MHW). Applicant further
proposes to install a rip-rap seawall and a wooden dock along this
shoreline with approximately 30 dolphin piles.
The upland is comprised of previously deposited fill. The
channel, according to the attached Dept. Environmental Regulation
report, appears to be a natural waterway altered by dredging
activity.
A species list is provided in the DER report. To their
list should be added the following two intertidal snails;
Me.J1."Lta. te..6J.:ella.ta. and Ba.t-i.llaJ1."La. m-LrI."Lr1a..
INTENDED USE:
The fill is requested to reclaim eroded land, the rip-
rap seawall is to prevent future erosion. Mr. J.F. Blffstein
(property owner) has stated that the dock will be used for private
boat Ol.;rners.
This project is part of the approved major development known
as Bonefish Towe~s.

A. Oescription of proposed project and construction techniques, Quantify area of proj.ct which extends into wetlands
and/or waterward of the apparent mean high water line.
The project proposed is to reclaim land lost to erosion along 345
feet of shoreline on Key Colony Channel, a natural waterway. The
shoreline has eroded to an irregular contour; the shoreline, after
reclamation, will be straight; hence, the waterward extentt of the
fill is from 5 to 47 feet. A line of existing wood piles are located
at the waterward limits of the proposed fill. Per telephone,
September 28, 1978, with J. Fred Blitstein, rock rubble or a riprap
revetment will be used to stabilize the new embankment. A total of
1500 cubic yards of fill will be placed, 100 cubic yards of which' will
Le above MHW. Work will be 'accomplished by bulldozer and dragline.

B. Biophysical features of .general area (include comments concerning extent of developement of adjoining properties).
The project is iocat~d on the Coco Plum side of Key Colony Channel.
Key Colony ChanRel is a natural waterway that has, probably, been
deepened during dredging operations to build Key Colony Beach and
Coco Plum Beach. Coco Plum Beach is an area developed by dredging
offshore and.canals with the spoil being used to enlarge the, then,
existing land area. The substrate throughout muc~ of the area
is fill consisting of rock rubble, sand and marl. Much of the
vegetation is primary colonizers such as saltbush (Baccharis sp.),
railroad vine '(Ipomoea pes-capr'ae), salt grass (Distichlis spicata)
and other various forbs. Coco Plum Beach has a system of fourteen
canals of whIch only the first three have any significant amount of
development.
,t
C. Biophysical f"tures of specific project site (and spoil site when appropriete, include identification of bottom types).
The project site is an eroded marl embankment on the edge of a deep
water channel. Uplands are approximately 4-5 feet above MLW: consist
of rock and marl fill vegetated by the primary colonizers as mentioned
under "B" above plus scattered buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus).
Due to the constant scouring by boat wakes, the intertidal zone was
unvegetated. Subtidal vegetation consisted of the red algae
Laurencia sp. from the southeast area, northwest up to about the last
80-100 feet where Ruppia was established in the more shallow sandy
zone and Laurencia sp. in the deeper zone. . The first 100 feet of
the site to the southeast was stabilized by riprapping. Chitons and
variOus small fish were observed on and around the rocks.

o. ";Iet of project ~m biological resources. Address long-term inpact 81 well as immediate impact. All aspects of proposal
sj."u d be assessed In these terms.
There will be no adverse impact from this project. A positive
effect will be brought about by the riprap being placed creating
additional habitat and stabilizing the embankment. Stabilizing
the embankment will eliminate a source of silt loading on the
waters.
E. Recommendation, with justification, concerning application. Include references to statutes, administrative rules, etc..
Based upon biological and water quality considerations, I recommend
approval of the project as submitted.
F. Suggestion concerning modifications to reduce or minimize impact where appropriate.
Place filter fabric behind riprap to prevent fine fill material
from washing throughriprap during heavy rains.
