Memorandum
January 21, 2010
To:
Dent Pierce, Director, Monroe County Public Works
From:
Beth Bergh, Monroe County Land Steward
cc:
Mark Rosch, Director, Monroe County Land Authority
Ronda Norman, Director, Monroe County Code Enforcement
Subject:
Request to close a portion of Mariposa Rd, Ramrod Key
The purpose of this memo is to request the closure of a portion of Mariposa Road,
Ramrod Key. The subject road runs in the north / south direction along the eastern shore
of Ramrod Key between Shannahan Rd and Old State Rd (please see attached map). All
but one of the platted lots on the west side of the subject road are publicly owned
conservation lands (either Monroe County or the State of Florida). The single private
parcel on the west side is submerged lands (tidal pond). The large privately owned parcel
on the east side of the road contains mangroves and submerged lands. Therefore, it
appears that this section of Mariposa Road is no longer needed for access.
Currently, the road is accessible by vehicles, which enables dumping and other illegal
activities. In order to avoid further dumping and damage to the conservation lands, I am
requesting that a barricade of some kind be placed at either end of this section of
Mariposa; one at the intersection with Shannahan Rd and the other at Old State Rd. The
barricades should allow for pedestrian access. I would be happy to meet with you on site
to discuss the situation.
Thank you for your help. If you have any questions or if you need additional
information, please feel free to contact me at x 2511.
