AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to enter into a $0 access agreement with The Harborage
Condo Corporation, Inc. to grant a temporary easement of property use during the backfilling of
canal 75 in Rock Harbor in Key Largo.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Canal 475 in Key Largo was identified as a Poor canal that is too deep,
lacks oxygen, and is in need of a backfilling restoration. The restoration of Canal 475 in Rock
Harbor involves backfilling to raise the canal bottom to 6 feet below the Mean Sea Level, which is
the optimum depth to allow for tidal flow in and out of the canal. These improvements are
anticipated to restore the impaired waters of the canal, and bring the dissolved oxygen levels up to
meet State 62 -302 Class 3 marine water quality standards.
A hold harmless /maintenance agreement and temporary grant of easement agreement are required to
allow the County access to and use of private property for a construction staging area during the
construction phase of the backfilling project.

02/15/17: Authorize entering into a $1.5M income grant from the Department of Environmental
