AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution for a four (4) month reservation of sixteen (16) affordable
dwelling unit ROGO allocation awards 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).
ITEM BACKGROUND: The owner of the property, Richard C. Beal, has requested the reservation of sixteen (16)
affordable dwelling unit ROGO allocation awards. Since early 2008, Mr. Beal has proposed development of "Caya Place"
on Big Pine at a location commonly known as Skeeter's Marine. He 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 Mice. 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 building 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. All required certificates of occupancy shall be procured within two (2) years of the
date of issuance of an initial building permit [approximately October 28, 2014] .
The BOCC reserved 16 affordable housing ROGO allocations for Caya Place LLC in March 2008, February 2009, and
March 2010. The last reservation expired March 31, 2011. As of December 13, 2011, Mr. Beal has not applied for Building
Permits for the proposed employee/affordable housing. Mr. Beal has requested the affordable housing allocations be
reserved for the fourth time (attached).
Big Pine/No Name Key has 40 affordable housing allocations over the life of the Master Plan/Incidental Take Permit at a
rate of 2 per year over 20 years, beginning in 2003 through 2023. when Caya Place requested 16 allocations, 6 had been
awarded to other users and 6 remained available in the pool (2003 to 2009 = 6 years times 2 per year = 12 available). In
order to accommodate Caya Place, 10 affordable housing allocations were borrowed from the future, which means the
allocation was reserved through ROGO Year 21, ending July 12, 2013. Now that the reservation has expired, the
affordable housing allocations have been returned to the ROGO pool. Big Pine/No Name Key sub -area has 14 affordable
housing allocations available for ROGO Year 20 (July 13, 2011-July 12, 2012).
As of December 13, 2011, the Monroe County Building Department has 4 affordable/employee building permit
applications in review on Big Pine Key.
In order to accommodate 4 potential applicants in building review plus 16 reservations, the board will need to reserve 10
from ROGO Year 20 and borrow from the next 3 ROGO Years (21, 22, & 23) at a rate of 2 per year.

WHEREAS, the State of Florida and all local governments in the Florida Keys (each subject to
Area of Critical State Concern mandates relating to housing affordability) recognize the need for
affordable housing throughout the state and particularly in the Florida Keys where developable land for
housing is extremely limited and expensive; and
WHEREAS, the challenge of providing affordable housing opportunities in the Florida Keys is
one requiring sensible and responsive use of residential unit allocations, including implementation of
long-term preservation mechanisms; and
WHEREAS, due consideration should be given to relevant factors such as the capacity for
allocation recipients to promptly transform allocation awards/reservations into finished and occupied
affordable/workforce housing units; and
WHEREAS, the developers have legitimate needs for some assurance that allocations are in fact
and will remain available and/or justified for a reasonable time so that follow-through on initial
commitments will in fact be justified; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Strategy 3.3 of the Master Plan for Future Development of Big
Pine Key and No Name Ivey, the county shall retain and expand availability of affordable housing within
the planning area to the greatest extent possible; and
WHEREAS, on March 19, 2008, the BGCC approved Resolution 077-2008 reserving 16
affordable dwelling unit allocations for Caya Place LLC; and
WHEREAS, the BGCC, on October 15, 2008 approved Resolution 346-2008 reserving the "IT'

reservation of "H" value and 16 affordable housing RGGG allocations for the Caya Place LLC affordable

housing project until March 31, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the developer did not commence construction of the 16 affordable housing units by
March 31, 2011, therefore, the RGGG allocations and "H" reservation expired March 31, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the developer has requested an extension for the "H" value reservation and 16
affordable dwellings unit allocations; and
WHEREAS, because of the current economic conditions, the developer wants an assurance that
the reserved RGGG allocations for the 16 affordable housing units for the proposed development at Caya
Place LLC will be available; and
WHEREAS, an extension of the minor conditional use was granted so that the developer must
apply for building permits no later than October 28, 2012; and
