AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a public hearing to consider an Ordinance
renaming Little Duck Key Park, also known as Veterans Memorial Park, as Veterans Memorial
Beach and amending the applicable sections of the Monroe County Code in Chapter 18, Parks and
Recreation. The public hearing shall be held at the Board of County Commissioners regular meeting
on December 7, 2022, in Key Largo, FL, or as soon thereafter as the item may be heard.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Little Duck Key Park is located at the West end of the Seven Mile
Bridge at MM 40 on U.S. Hwy. 1. Over the years, this park has become known locally as the
Veterans Memorial Park. The Parks & Beaches Department has collaborated with the Veterans
Affairs Department and jointly have expressed a desire to rename this Park as the Veterans
Memorial Beach in honor of numerous Keys' residents who have served in various branches of the
U.S. military. Both departments have ideas for additional ways to honor those who have served and
how to incorporate them within the park. The renaming of the park to Veteran's Memorial Beach is
the first step in initiating this plan. Monroe County Code Sec. 18-27 and any other applicable
provisions of the Code will be modified by this proposed ordinance change.
A proposed ordinance will be presented to the Parks & Beaches Advisory Board for its input at their
next meeting on November 7, 2022, so their input can be provided to the BOCC. This agenda item
is for approval to advertise the necessary Public Hearing, which is planned to be held at the regular
BOCC meeting on December 7, 2022, in Key Largo.
