5. Briefly describe the project site:
The proposed 2.2 acrea (approximate) Land & Water acquisition site is located
on.Stock Island in ~onroe County. The southside of the proposed park is adjacent
to 9.5 acres which Monroe County is attempting to purchase and develop as a
recreational park.
The majority of the flat land is scarified. The site has been used in recent
years as an illegal dump. Recovery efforts by the County and residents are under-
way. Litter prevention funding has been approved by the State for this site. In
addition, community efforts have already bagged and removed the majority of loose
debris.
The community surrounding the park is predominately blue-collar residential with
fishing industry to the east of the park. Access to the property is by way of
Fifth Street to the West, Fifth Avenue to the North and Shrimp Road on the East.
The property adjacent to the proposed site has a shoreline to a salt pond with tidal
flow from the Straits of Florida.

identified in the capital improvement plan or schedule?
If yes, state fiscal year identified
1985- 2005
*Please see below
2. Explain how the proposed project would implement one or more of the outdoor recreation goals.
objectives and priorities specified in the currently effective state comprehensive outdoor recreation
plan:
GOAL 11: It is the goal of the State of Florida to assure all Floridians and state
visitors adequate opportunities to enjoy wholesome outdoor recreational pursuits of the
type which will best meet their needs.
OBJECTIVE: To acquire and develop a balanced system of safe and enjoyable recreation
areas and facilities to meet the full range of recreational demands and needs of all
citizens and visitors, and ensure that these areas and facilities are fully accessible
to all who wish to use them.
IMPLEMENATION: Through this project. Nonroe County will purchase approximately 2.2
acres of park land ~hich will be developed into a Community Recreation Park on Stock
Island. This will reduce the Community Park facility deficiency as identified in the
Monroe County Comprehensive Plan to 26.97 needed acres. The proposed park ~ill provide
basketball court, bike path, playgound, volleyball court. All facilities ~ill be fully
accessible to the public.
GOAL 12: It is the goal of the State of Florida to ascertain the highest priority
recreation needs at state, regional, and local levels and secure sufficient fundi~g for
financing the provision of opportunities to meet those priority needs.
OBJECTIVE: To ensure that available funds for acquisition and development are appli~d
to the greatest extent possible toward meeting priority needs identified through
comprehensive recreation planning programs at the state and local levels.
IMPLEMENTATION: The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan identifies a deficiency of 29.17
acres in Community Park facilities for the area of Stock Island. The park will provide
2.2 acres towards reducing this defiCiency. Monroe County's Recreation and Open Space
Element indicates that the first acquisition of vacant land for future communlty park
development shall be on Stock Island. The capital improvement plan identifies $2,700.000
in funds for acquisition and development from 1985 - 2005.
PRIORITIES:
I.) Resource acquisition should be given prio~ity over faciiity construction. This
is necessary because of the increasing competition for remaining outdoor recreation lands.
and the critical shortages of suitable lands evident in many parts of the state.
