AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of a Resolution rescinding Resolution Nos. 39-2002 and 40-2002 concerning the designation of
Conch Key and Duck Key as Coldspots.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Cesspit Identification and Elimination Program and location of Coldspots provided the means to eliminate
cesspits from areas that would not be provided sewer service in the foreseeable future. The program also
provided grant funds to homeowners in coldspots who were required to replace their cesspit. Recent action by
the BOCC confirmed that Duck Key was a coldspot and added Conch Key. However, this action in the face of
the fact that both areas will receive sewer service, means that homeowners in these areas are being required to
install engineered wastewater systems for new construction, expansion of existing buildings, or significant
'repairs requiring Department of Health permits. Engineered wastewater systems are very expensive.

RESOLUTION NO. 2002
A RESOLUTION OF THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS RESCINDING RESOLUTIONS 39-2002 AND 40-2002
WHICH DESIGNATED CONCH KEY AND DUCK KEY AS COLDSPOTS
UNDER CHAPTER 15.5 MONROE COUNTY CODE.
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners designated Conch Key and Duck Key
as Coldspots in Resolutions 39-2002 and 40-2002 respectively; and
WHEREAS, Conch Key and Duck Key will both receive sewer service at a time in the
near future; and
WHEREAS, the unintended affect of the designation is that in the interim period, new
construction, building expansions, or remodeling which require Department of Health approval
are being required to install expensive, engineered on-site wastewater systems; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA THAT:
Section 1.
Resolutions 39-2002 and 40-2002 are hereby rescinded.
Section 2. Conch Ke~ and Duck Key are hereby declared as "hotspots," intended to receive
