AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: May 16-17. 2001
Division:
BOCC
Bulk Item: Yes No X Department: District Five
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Direct Marine Resources to place "No Wake" signs at the
entrance to Dove Creek and "No Motoring Zone" signs in the Dove Creek area.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Since closure ofIslamorada's Founders' Park to the public,
small boats and PWCs have been using the residential canals and Dove Creek for high
speed operation. This has caused a dangerous condition for residents, canoeists, and
backwater fishermen. This problem can be resolved by posting the appropriate signs as
indicated on the attached map. This action along with enforcement by the Sheriff's
marine unit can restore this pristine area of the Florida Keys.

NOTE 1: The area shaded in the color q fee/) represents the a p1~mate area
the petitioners desire to have designated as a no wake area. They want the no wake
zone to begin approximately 25 to 35 yards after entering Dove Creek from the channel
(identified by two stakes) leading in from the near shore waters on the ocean side. This
allows vessels to enter and depart Dove Creek on a plane, which is needed due to the
shallow water in the channel.
NOTE 2: The area shaded in the color if eJ/tJtU represents the approximate area
the Petitioners desire to have designated as a no motor zone. There are no homes
beyond this point, and the water is extremely shallow. In addition, portions of Dove
Creek from this point forward have a mangrove ceiling. This area is almost pristine and
Petitioners believe it is an environmentally sensitive area worthy of protection.
PETITION FOR DESIGNATION OF NO WAKE I NO MOTOR ZONE
WE THE UNDERSIGNED residents of Peace Ave. and Dove Ave. in Tavernier, Florida
request the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida designate the
area in Dove Creek south of item 1 on the attached "Exhibit A" as a no wake zone and
the area south of item 2 on the attached "Exhibit A" as a no motor zone.
The undersigned believe that designation of such areas as no wake I no motor zones
will prote ersons, property and nmentally SenSije areas.
