the surface water management plan relative to canals and the water quality of the canals; 2) Add
rainwater harvesting as a potable water conservation item; 3) Add grey water/re-use as a
conservation method into the potable water elements and to remove impediments to people being
able to use grey water; 4) Add the evaluation and identification of sites for the installation of new
mooring fields; 5) Revise the EAR because land acquisition policies are not adequate and the
County will need to revise the policies to better address the future build-out or maximum number
of housing units of the Florida Keys; 6) Add the need to develop alternate land use policies
related to the possibility of a future build out of the Florida Keys; 7) Add the need to develop an
estimate of the long term maintenance costs for the acquired lands; 8) Investigate whether the
one half cent sales tax used by the Land Authority for acquisition can be broadened in scope in
the statue to include the ability to use those funds for long term land management; 9) Add the
development of a proactive public education program that informs individuals considering
moving to the Florida Keys about issues concerning habitat, conservation, evacuation issues,
flood plain regulations; 10) Prioritize the completion of strategies, studies and master plans,
based on the 20 year planning horizon of the new Comprehensive Plan that will result from the
EAR. Motion carried unanimously.

,
The distribution and location of future allocations is a factor in the clearance time results produced
by the hurricane model. Monroe County staff would like to consider other options for the
distribution of future allocations; in particular, reducing the total amount of allocations modeled at
the farthest point in the County for hurricane evacuation, which may impact the clearance time
results.
Staff would like to request additional scenario runs for the upcoming Work Group meeting to
include allocations distributed by the percentage of vacant lands within each jurisdiction (as shown
in the Tables 1, 2 and 3 below). Additionally, staff would like to request additional scenario runs
with reduced allocations rate, including a 10% reduction of the total allocation, 25% reduction of
the total allocation and 50% reduction of the total allocation (also shown in Tables 1, 2, and 3
below).

6. Other Issues Which May Impact Model Scenario Results
• The model provides results in 30 minute increments. For example, a 24 hour result may be
24 hours and 1 minute or 24 hours and 29 minutes or anything in between. A 23 hour and
30 minute result may be 23 hour and 31 minutes or 23 hour and 59 minutes or anything in
between.
o This may be a significant item to consider when reviewing the clearance time
results.
