AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Resolution to reserve 0.1392 HwAcT with 0.261 `HmmGATION' for Caya
Place LLC on Big Pine Key on the eastern parcel (RE 00111078.000000) of property located at 30641 US Highway 1
(aka Skeeter's Marine) for a period not to exceed four (4) months.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The owner of the property, Richard C. Beal, has requested to develop sixteen (16) units of
affordable employee housing in the name of Caya Place LLC on Big Pine Key at a location commonly known as
Skeeter's Marine. Caya Place LLC received a minor conditional use permit by Development Order 01-09 to develop the
affordable housing project. To date, the building permit application deadline has been extended twice. First, the applicant
received a two year extension pursuant to Senate Bill 360. Second, the applicant received a one year extension pursuant
to the Monroe County Land Development County Code. To date, a binding permit application relating to the scope of
work has not been submitted. Thereby, the current deadline(s) to submit a building permit application is October 28,
2012.
The BOCC has approved the reservation of 0.0261 HmmGAnoN for Caya Place LLC for the last three years. The third
reservation expired March 31, 2011. During the last HCP reporting period (March 2011) the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
determined the H calculations for Caya Place were not consistent with the HCP and resulted in an incorrect HmpACT and
thus HmmGAnoN value. FwS indicated at the time that the impact calculations needed to follow the calculations provided
in the HCP and that based on the vacant nature of the parcel it may constitute new development rather than re-
development. Following the methods established in the HCP, staff determined that the project constitutes re -development
and calculated the HmpAcr for the parcel to be 0.087 with a mitigation requirement of 0.261 HmMGAT ON• If the FwS
determines the project constitutes new development, the HmpAcr would be 0.1392 and the HmmGAnoN required would be
0.4176. The reservation of 0.4176 H has the potential for the H Bank not having sufficient H to compensate for possible
impacts associated with future commercial development and the known impacts associated with future SFR development
(see attached memo). However, in order to allow the property owner the opportunity to obtain a building permit for
affordable housing, staff is recommending a reservation of 0.261 HmmGAnoN for a period of four (4) months.
