Scholl, District 3 Mayor Pro Tem Michelle Lincoln, District 2 The Florida Keys Craig Cates, District 1 David Rice, District 4 Holly Merrill Raschein, District 5 August 13, 2025 Subject: Monroe County Resilient Road Adaptation Project – Stillwright Point Neighborhood Notice of Project Termination As you know, the roads in the Stillwright Point neighborhood experience periodic sunny day flooding during king tide events. In response to the flooding, Monroe County used local funds and grant funds from the state Resilient Florida program to design a resilient road adaptation project that included elevating roads and constructing an engineered stormwater management system. The project was designed using projected water elevations from 2045 to maintain access to homes and to provide long-term flooding resilience. The County identified $20.5 million in federal grant funds that would be available upon completion of the design and passing of a federal cost benefit analysis and applied for $21.1 million in state grant funds to fully fund the estimated construction cost of the project. With all construction projects, especially those using grants that take a long time period for review, construction cost estimates are often exceeded once a project actually goes out to bid. So, even though the County lined up a potential $41.6 Million, the actual project costs could exceed that amount. Based on the need for space for the drainage improvements and sloping of the roadway after elevating it, along with the narrow width of rights-of-way in the Stillwright neighborhood, to build the project requires 100% of the adjacent property owners granting a 10-foot-wide easement to the County to have sufficient room to construct the project. This issue, among other project details, was discussed at a neighborhood meeting on April 28, 2025. At this meeting, a survey conducted of participants showed that 35, or 67%, of parcel owners who responded were not in favor of granting an easement to the County. The Board of County Commissioners then conducted a special meeting on June 17, 2025, to further discuss the project and any available alternatives, and at that meeting residents again indicated that they would not grant the required easements. Based on the feedback from Stillwright property owners, the County will not move the resilient project forward. Pursuant to requests from residents, the County anticipates including a project instead to mill and resurface the Stillwright Point roads in its capital plan. This project will not alleviate sunny day flooding. During the Board meeting on June 17, 2025, the Commissioners also directed staff to develop a policy whereby all neighborhoods who need road elevations because of flooding will be required to pay any “difference” between the cost of the road elevation project and grant funds the County may obtain toward a project. This direction was given after a long discussion on the fact that individual residential neighborhoods are the beneficiaries of the improvements; thereby creating a situation where all taxpayers should not be asked to fund a construction project benefiting only specific residents. During the next several months, County staff will be developing a new program for property owner participation in funding of resilient road adaptation projects and other projects that provide a specific benefit to the residents. Residents will be able to vote on whether they want to request the County to adapt the roads in their neighborhood to address these conditions. If the majority of property owners in the impacted neighborhood want to initiate such a project and are willing to fund the difference between any available grant funding and the 4334 overall construction cost of the project the County will undertake design and construction. Such funding would occur through a Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) assessment for capital and operations and ongoing maintenance costs. The Stillwright project could potentially participate in this new program if desired by the residents. Because each project is different, if a project requires easements or other necessary approvals, surveying property owners to make sure they are all in favor of granting easements will also be required. The County will continue to perform standard maintenance on the roads in your neighborhood but will not implement any additional measures for flood control. The neighborhood may continue to experience road flooding during the king tide season and during periods of heavy rainfall, and flooding may become more severe with each passing year due to rising groundwater and tidal levels. The County will not be able to control these flooding conditions. Therefore, residents are encouraged to plan accordingly for these potential periods of flooding and reduced access to homes.
