Dear Colonel Carpenter,
The Island of Key Largo Federation of Homeowner Associations is made up of twenty-one
homeowner associations and condominiums across the Island of Key Largo, who in turn
represents a significant number of residents in the area.
At the Dec 10, 2003 General membership meeting we passed a resolution demanding a public
hearing be held in Key Largo by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the subject of the permit
application by the Florida Department of Transportation to the Corps for the construction of the
"US-I South project."
A significant number of citizens of the Upper Keys have numerous concerns about the effects of
the road on their community and the environment that have not been adequately addressed. In
addition, they feel they have not been adequately apprised of the scope of the project and there
has been a significant passage of time since the last public hearing was held. Since FOOT
withdrew their application to the Corps in 1997, at least six years has passed since the last
hearing could have taken place,
Sincerely,
~ '7'~
Glenn Patton, President
Island of Key Largo Federation of Homeowner Associations
