The Governing Board of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority held a regular
meeting on Wednesday, October 20, 2004 at the Harvey Government Center located at 1200
Truman Avenue in Key West, Florida. Chairman David Rice called the meeting to order at
10: 12 AM. Present and answering roll call, in addition to Chairman Rice, were Commissioner
Sonny McCoy, Mayor Murray Nelson, Commissioner George Neugent, and Commissioner Dixie
Spehar. Also in attendance were Executive Director Mark Rosch, Counsel Larry Erskine, Office
Manager Kimberly Nystrom, and members of the press and public.
The first item on the agenda was approval of minutes for the meetings held on September 8,
2004 and September 21, 2004. A motion was made by Commissioner Spehar and seconded
by Commissioner Neugent to approve the minutes as submitted. There being no objections,
the motion carried (5/0).
The next item was approval to add the Seacrest Apartments located at 204 9151 Street Ocean in
Marathon to the Acquisition List. Mr. Rosch addressed the Board. A motion was made by
Commissioner Neugent and seconded by Commissioner McCoy to approve the item. Marathon
Mayor Jeff Pinkus and Middle Keys Community land Trust President Debbie Love addressed
the Board and presented the Board with a plaque of appreciation. There being no objections,
the motion carried (5/0).
The next item was Commissioner McCoy's item: approval to appoint David Audlin to the Land
Authority Advisory Committee. A motion was made by Commissioner Spehar and seconded by
Mayor Nelson to approve the appointment. There being no objections, the motion carried (5/0).
Mr. Rosch then reported that at last month's meeting the Board of County Commissioners
approved a resolution requesting an amendment to the Land Authority's conservation easement
on Crawl Key. Members of the public have expressed concerns that the scope of permitted
uses allowed by the amendment is too broad. Staff is working with the Land Authority Advisory
Committee on a revised amendment to address these concerns.
Mr. Rosch reported that the developers of Tradewinds Hammocks Phase II failed to repay the
Land Authority's mortgage by the September deadline. The developers advised staff that they
plan to repay the mortgage following next month's Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Rosch reported that staff is obtaining appraisals and pursuing acquisition of the WetNet
property in Islamorada as an affordable housing site. During discussion of this item, several
commissioners stressed the importance of providing sufficient development density on the
property.
