AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: May 16-17.2001
Division:
BOCC
Bulk Item: Yes No X Department: District Five
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion item: Petition by residents of Bermuda
Shores and Cross Key Waterways subdivisions in Key Largo to remove bulkhead that has
been built up by property owners over many years, cutting offwater flow to their canal
located between Crane Street (south) and Bowie Lane (north)
ITEM BACKGROUND: The owner of the last lot has over the years built up the original
plug that was left in the canal during construction. This unpermitted filling has stopped
the natural flow of water that maintained the quality of water in the canal. Residents
want the fill removed to the original plugged level (1-2'). This action would over time
restore the water quality of this canal and allow for water activities again.

PETITION TO OPEN CANAL BORDERED BY CRANE STREET TO THE SOl.J.fH,BO'YD..-____.__.__.J
DRIVE TO THE EAST AND BOWIE LANE (GORDON CIRCLE) TO THE NORTH
The undersigned residents petition to have the canal opened to a depth of 3 to 4 feet. At present,
the conditions present a health hazard to the children swimming in the canal, the fish suffer due
to the restriction of water flow, and the buildup of waste in the canal presents an odor at times.
The restriction of water flow also has caused the canal to become a very dark and dirty water
hole which once was a very clear, clean swimming canal. If the water were permitted to flow
more freely, these conditions would improve. We beg your attention and consideration to this
matter. Thank you.
