Resolution 347-1980
RESOLUTION NO. 347 -1980
WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY,
FLORIDA, has received an application from Raymond E. Gordon, 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:
Dredge a boat slip approximately 30 feet wide by 55 feet long
by 3 feet above O.H.W. and 5 feet below O.H.W. with a 4 foot wide
perimeter dock. Applicant proposes to use a backhoe to excavate
approximately 428 cu. yds. of limerock for construction of said
boatslip with no planned subsequent stabilization of basin sides.
Applicant also states his intention to utilize a turbidity barrier
across waterward side of project while construction is in progress.
All proposed dredging will be accomplished landward of M.H.W. line.
Applicant further proposes to deposit dredged material in two berm
areas in front of proposed residence. Methods for spoil contain-
ment and dewatering are unspecified.
Applican~'s residential lot appears to be one of few remaining
undeveloped lots in Point Pleasant Drive area. Point Pleasant
community seems well-established in area. Western edge of applicant's
property is adjacent to Buttonwood Sound which comprises a portion
of the "outstanding waters" of Everglades National Park as defined in
Chapter 17-3.041 of the Florida Administrative Code, The majority of
residences along westward side of Point Pleasant Drive have boat-
basins, slips, finger piers or some other type of boat mooring
facility. Developed area consists primarily of limestone rock sedi-
ment and is variously vegetated by a variety of predominantely
terrestrial trees, grasses and bushes. The residence adjacent to appli-
cant's north side contains a similar boat slip/basin with dock to
that proposed here. All waters of this area appeared to be clean,
clear and generally of excellent quality including those within the
adjacent neightbor's boat basin.
,
Applicant's lot contains a variety of upland flora including such
plants as West Indian mahogany (Swietenia mahogoni), bush lantana
(Lantana involucrata) and Spanish stopper (Eugenia myrtoides).
Predominant sediment type is limestone rock, although area proposed
for dredging has been filled at least once previously with a variety
of fill material (i.e., macadam chunks, concrete chips, limerock).
Water quality both in the adjacent Buttonwood Sound and in the northern
neighbor's existing boat basin appears excellent with lush growths of
Cuban shoalweed(Halodule wrightii) observed in each. Also observed
were patches of turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum)and several species
of brown, green and red algae. Marine fauna observed included glass
minnow (Anchoa spp.) and several species of Coelenterate. Marine
sediments appeared to be comparatively free of detrital deposit.
Direct impact of proposed project would entail the removal of
approximately 428 cu. yds. of previously disturbed uplands area
which is only sparsely vegetated and would therefore be minimal,
providing care is taken during construction to prevent spoil material
from falling into waters of the state. Longer term impacts of
proposed boat slip/basin with dock would be to provide additiona~
marine wildlife habitat for nursery and feeding activities for the
flora and fauna of Buttonwood Sound.

A. Applicant proposes to dredge a boat slip approximately 30 feet
wide by 55 feet long by 3 feet above O.H.W. and 5 feet below
a.H.W. with a 4 foot wide perimeter dock. Applicant proposes
to use a backhoe to excavate approvimateJv 428 cu. yds. of
limE-rock for construction of said boatslip with no planned
subsequent stabilization of basin sides. Applicant also states
his intention to utilize a turbidity barrier across waterward
side of project while construction is in progress. All propo3ed
dredging will be accomplished landward of H.ll.W. line. Applicant
f'!l~t:lCr ploposes to deposit dredged material in two berm areas
in front of proposed residence. Me~hods for spoil containrnenc
and dewatering are unspecified.
B. Applicant's residential lot appears to be one of few remaining
undeveloped lots in Point Pleasant Drive area. Point Pleasant
clommunity seems well-established in area. Western edge of
applicant's property is adjacent to Buttonwood Sound which
comprises a portion of the "outs tandi ng ~oJa ters" of Everglades
National Park as defined in Chapter 17-3.041 of the Florida
Admin is trat ive Code. The maj ori ty of res iJences alo~1g vies t'.,;a:L oJ
side of Pt. Pleasant Dr. have boat basins, slips, finger piers
or some other type of boat mooring facility. Developed area
consists primarily of limestone rock sediment and is variously
vegetated by a variety of predominantely terrestrial trees,
grasses and bushc'. The residence adjacent to applicant's
north side contains a similar boat slip/basin with dock to
that proposed here. All waters of this area appeared to be.
clean, clear and generally of excellent quality including those
within the adjacent neighbor's boat basin.
C. Applicant's lot contains a variety of upland flora including such
plants as West Indian mahogany (~wieteni~ mahogoni), bush lantana
(Lantana involucratc.) and Spanish stopper TEugenia m~rtoides).
Predomrnant sediment type is limestone rock, altnoug area pro-
pos2d for dredging has been filled at least o~ previously ",vith
a variety of fill material (i.e., macadam chunks, concrete chips,
limerock). Water quality both in the adjacent Buttonwood Sound
and in the northern. neighbor's existing boat basin appears excelleil:

Marine fauna observed included glass minnows (Anchoa spp.) and
several species of Coelenterate. Marine sediments appeared to

which is only sparsely vegetated, and w011ld therefore be minimal,
providing care is taken during construction to prevent spoil
material from falling into waters of the state. Longer term
impacts of proposed boat slip/basin with dock would be to provide
additional marine wildlife habitat for nursery and feeding
