5. Briefly describe the project site:
The proposed 9.5 acre FRDAP acquisition site is located on Stock Island
in Monroe County. The southside of the proposed park contains a large
salt water pond which has tidal flow from the Straits of Florida. A.
hedge of Mangroves forms the southern-most bounaary of the property.
The majority of the flat land surface is scarified. The site has been
used in recent years as an illegal dump area for debris. Recovery
efforts by the County and resident~ have already begun. 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 and Shrimp Road.

PART II.
A. GEIlaAL. CRITERIA
1. Is the proposed project identified in the capital improvement plan or SChedule?
No 2 Yes 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 ~hich ~ill 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, Monroe County will purchase 9.5 acres of park land
which 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 19.67 needed acres. The proposed park will provide one (I) softball
field, fishing pier, bike path, picnic facilities and nature path. All facilities WIll
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 funding for
financing the provision of opportunities to meet those priority needs.
OBJECTIVE: To ensure that available funds for acquisition and development are applied
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
9.5 acres towards reducing this defiCiency. Monroe County's Recreation and Open Space
Element indicates that the first acquisition of vacant land for future community 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:
1.) Resource acquisition should be given prrority over facility 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. .
Continued on Page 4a
3. List the priority resource/facility needs proposed in the project which are included in applicant's
planning region as specified in the state comprehensive outdoor recreation plan. (Use the 1987

Stock Island has been identified in the Comprehensive Plan. as the first
acquisition site for a community de~elopment park. Aquisition costs
have been authorized in M.C. Capital Improvement Plan for the years
1985 - 2005.
Page 4 of 7
Monroe County is designated as an "Area of Critical State Concern". The availability
of land suitable for recreational purposes is practically non-existant. ~Ionroe County
is committed to acquiring park area in the Lo~er Keys where the majority of the population
resides.
2.) Shoreline resources, and particularly seashores, should receive priority over inland
resources. Suitable ~aterfront areas are rapidly disappearing, ~hile greater selection
generally remains among inland areas.
This acquisition ~ill secure a shoreline resource in the form of a salt ~ater tidal pond
in the Lower Keys. Area residents will have the opportunity to enjoy pier fishing,
canoeing, and nature study as a result of this purchase.
3.) Multiple-purpose resources should receive priority over single-purpose resources.
because of the greater range of opportunities provided.
In the development stage. the project will provide salt-water facilities, as well as.
a softball field, bike path, nature path, and a pinic area.
