Criteria in Consideration of Marine Facility Acquisitions
At its November 8, 2006 meeting the Momoe County Marine and Port Advisory Committee
discussed the need for marine facility preservation and the potential for facility acquisitions by
the County. At the direction of the County Administrator and the Board, the Committee began
developing criteria that may be used to help determine the current value and future potential of
various marine facilities in regards to working waterfronts and public access, as well as the
vulnerability of those facilities for redeveloping into non-water dependent uses. The Committee
completed the list of criteria at its December 7, 2006 meeting.
Since the December ih meeting staff has further refined the criteria and run a mock evaluation
of several properties to flesh out any inconsistencies or other problems with the criteria structure.
The criteria appear to be logically structured, however it is important that Committee members
pay close attention when applying the criteria to make sure that your scoring is consistent with
the objective of the category (and sub-category) statements. A higher score indicates intent or
need to acquire a facility, while a low score indicates intent that the facility does not merit
County acquisition.

Criteria
FINAL DRAFT
Sites considered for acquisition (or other modes of preservation) should typically fall into one of
the following categories:
Working Waterfronts
Public Access
Facilities
Marine Service
Facilities
Commercial Fishing
Facilities
Boat
Ramps
Marinas
Boat
Yards
Other
Services
Fish
Houses
Fishing Vessel
Dockage
The site should first be reviewed according to the following questions. These questions are
entirely general and are not meant to be part of the scoring or prioritization of sites. Rather, the
questions are meant to be used to help determine if a property use is worth preserving for the
public good, and to remind the Committee that 'purchase of development rights' (or other similar
mechanism) may be a viable alternative for preservation.
I) Is the facility currently a valuable working waterfront?
2) If so, is the facility in jeopardy of redeveloping (partially or completely) to non-water
dependent uses. If yes, continue to bullet items below
3) Could the conversion potentially be (partially or completely) deterred via the purchase of
development rights (PDR)? If yes, proceed with PDR consideration.
Directions for Use of Criteria
If the site or sites is/are determined to be valuable and in jeopardy of being a loss to the public
interest the following criteria should be used to more accurately gauge the value to the public,
and the considered sites may be ranked accordingly.
The criteria have been broken down into two sections: A- Need and Public Benefit, and B-
Practicality and Feasibility. This helps to first focus on how the facility may benefit the public
currently and into the future, and subsequently what issues would be faced if the property were
acquired.
The criteria are then organized into eleven categories (five categories in Section A and six
categories in Section B). Each category has several sub-categories. The sub-categories provide
greater detail in determining the value of a property at the category level.
Each category is to be scored from 1-5. A low number indicates either problems with the
property or other issues that result in the property being less desirable for acquisition or having
lesser preservation concerns, or greater problems for County ownership and management. A
higher number indicates a lack of problems, greater need for preservation, and potentially a
greater potential public benefit.
Please add your scores for each category, then add the two sub-totals for a final score. It may
also be useful to provide a comment for each category (as shown in the provided example).
Also, please provide your name. You may use the 'Additional Comments' section at the end to
elaborate on your scoring and decision making.
A- NEED and PUBLIC BENEFIT:
1) Geographic considerations:
Score
a) Does the site contribute to the equitable distribution of such sites throughout the
Keys?
b) What is the proximity to other similar sites, and are other sites at capacity?
c) Is the site in proximity to the intended user group/s?
2) Current site uses:
a) What use/s, beneficial to the public interest, is/are provided?
b) Does the site provide multiple uses?
c) Is the site a keystone facility (e.g. affects other uses/facilities)?
Score
3) Redevelopment potential:
Sco re
a) Is the site already under consideration for redevelopment?
b) Are non-water dependent uses allowed by code?
c) Is there significant potential for conversion to a non-water dependent use?
4) Public use potential: Score
a) Will the current uses provide significant public benefit?
b) Is there additional public use potential?
5) Community character: Score
a) Are there 'community character' elements at the site?
b) Could additional 'community character' elements be developed?
c) Is there any historic component at the site?
d) Could any historic or educational elements be developed?
Section A sub-total:
(out of possible 25)
B- PRACTICALITY and FEASIBILITY:
6) Navigational considerations: Score
a) Are channel markers provided for ingress/egress to open water?
b) Are water depths suitable (4' mlw requirement)?
7) Environmental considerations: Score
a) Are boating uses likely to impact seagrasses or other natural resources?
b) Are upland environmental issues likely or been identified?
8) Property condition:
Score
a) Is the site in good operating condition?
b) If not, will it only require minimal resources to get the site in good operating
condition?
9) Code Compliance:
Score
a) Do non-compliant structures and/or uses exist at the site?
b) Will it take significant resources to make the site code compliant?
c) Is the site use, or proposed use, compatible with adjacent properties?
10) County involvement/use of resources: Score
a) Would the site uses require management and/or staffing?
b) If acquired, could the site be leased back for management?
c) Will the required level of management and/or staff resources create a burden on
the County?
11) Additional property value:
a) Is there any surplus right-of-way adjacent to the property?
b) What is the condition for site access by road?
