RE: Intergovernmental Agreement
Dear Mayor Douglas:
Enclosed please find three signed originals of the Intergovernmental Agreement
between the Department and Monroe County to implement interim standards for
marine /terrestrial access in the county. The Department very much appreciates the
opportunity to resolve the "dock issue" on this interim basis, and looks forward to receiving
the formal changes as soon as possible. Please note the following important considerations
with respect to implementation of this intergovernmental agreement.
The WHEREAS clause F on page 2, provides that the interim standards are to be
applied with "the intent to develop final standards upon appropriate review." Pursuant to our
agreement, the County is to expedite efforts to develop and approve land development
regulations to implement the marine /terrestrial standards included in the attached
intergovernmental agreement.
With respect to the provisions set forth on page 4 under section 9.5- 286(5), MCC,
regarding mangrove fringe removal, the provisions states "removal shall mean the trimming
of branches or trunks with a diameter of 1 inch at the point of cut." The Department shall
interpret that language to mean that any mangrove the trunk or branch of which is 1 inch Qr
FLORIDA KEYS greater shall not be removed within the meaning of this policy.

With respect to the provisions under section 9.5- 345(m)(6) on page 9, the permit standards to
be adopted by the County in its land development code should clarify the meaning of the requirement
in this section that development other than for single family residents "shall make adequate provision
for water quality monitoring program."
Under the heading described as "additional provisions " on page 10 the Department strongly
agrees and will ardently implement the second paragraph stating that these interim standards are to be
"strictly construed." Any regulatory action taken upon and interpretation of these interim standards that
goes beyond the plain language or intent of the interim standards without the required consultation
between the Department and the County shall be considered to be a breech of this intergovernmental
agreement.
The Department looks forward to working closely with the County to resolve the issues related
to marine /terrestrial access in the county in a cooperative and effective manner. Should you have any
questions or concerns regarding the provisions of the intergovernmental agreement or the contents of
this letter please do not hesitate to call me at (904)488 -2356 or Ken Metcalf at (904) 487 -4545.
