AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to enter into a $0 Access Agreement with Antonio
Acosta for a long term grant of easement and right of entry for use of his lot, parcel ID 484200, to
place the equipment for the air curtain for the C83 canal water quality improvement demonstration
project for organic muck removal, backfilling and air curtain installation in Key Largo. Access is
being provided at no cost to the County,
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Acosta property is located at 727 Grouper Lane, Key Largo, FL,
Parcel ID 484200, and whose property abuts that body of water known as Canal 483. The property
is a lot on Canal 483, and is needed for long term use to place the County's equipment to run the air
curtain at the mouth of the canal, to keep the seaweed from entering the canal.
The Property Owner has acknowledged approval of the use of his lot. In exchange for the County's
agreement to remove the organic material from the Canal and backfilling of the canal at no cost to
the Property Owner, the Property Owner agrees to hold the County harmless from any liability
related to the Organic Removal Project.
The construction contractor will install a fence around the equipment to block the view and noise as
much as possible. The County may terminate the Agreement at any time upon written notice to the
Property Owner prior to the beginning of storage on the property.
This property is located nearer the back of the canal, rather than the more preferred placement near
the mouth of the canal. The County was unable to obtain voluntary access from any homeowner
with a lot closer to the mouth of the canal without providing a termination for convenience, which if
exercised in the future, would mandate that the County move the equipment and incur additional
costs. Therefore this lot owner was selected.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
3/23/16 — Approval to advertise an RFP for completing a combination Organic Removal and
Backfilling canal restoration demonstration project in Canal 484 in Rock Harbor. Note: Canal 483 is
located immediately next door to canal 484 in Rock Harbor and was subsequently selected as the
alternate site after no access could be obtained for Canal 484.
09/21/16: Approval to negotiate with the construction contractor.
11/22/16: Approval requested to enter into a contract with Adventure Environmental for construction
of the C83 combination muck removal, backfilling and air curtain project.
