Scholl,District 3 � « Holly Merrill Raschein,District 5 Regular Meeting July 15, 2026 Agenda Item Number: GIO 26-32353 BULK ITEM: No DEPARTMENT: MC Land Authority Governing Board TIME APPROXIMATE: 9:25 am STAFF CONTACT: Cynthia Guerra AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of First Amendment to Deed Restrictions for real property north of South Roosevelt Boulevard adjacent to the Key West International Airport,having Real Estate Parcel Number 00065160- 000000, for installation, operation, maintenance and replacement of no more than five utility poles and overhead power lines to allow The Utility Board of the City of Key West d/b/a Keys Energy to provide redundant power service to the airport. ITEM BACKGROUND: The Utility Board of the City of Key West d/b/a Keys Energy is seeking to develop a redundant power line supply to the Keys West International Airport. The preferred route for the new power line is along South Roosevelt Avenue from the Thompson Street Substation to the airport, which passes through the subject conservation parcel that is owned by the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority (MCLA). The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) entered into an interlocal agreement with Keys Energy in June 2025 that sets forth the obligations of both entities in financing, installing, maintaining, and operating the redundant power supply project. Through the interlocal agreement, the BOCC has declared that power delivery redundancy and natural disaster resiliency to minimize operational disruptions to the Key West International Airport is a paramount purpose. In further support of the project, the BOCC granted an easement on its own non-conservation parcel for the power poles and lines on February 18, 2026. The subject conservation parcel was acquired by MCLA on June 1, 1992, from Friends of Florida, Inc. (FOF), a Florida non-profit corporation. The parcel is managed by the Monroe County Land Steward as conservation land and is on the County's conservation lands inventory. Additionally, the parcel is subject to a FOF Deed Restriction that does not allow for the proposed installation of infrastructure. MCLA staff worked with the leadership of FOF to negotiate an amendment to the Deed Restriction to allow for the installation, operation,maintenance and replacement of no more than five utility poles and overhead power lines. The FOF Board of Directors approved the amendment to the Deed Restriction through their Resolution 2026-01 on June 10, 2026. Section 2-426(2)of the Monroe County Code of Ordinances establishes that lands designated as Monroe County Conservation Lands shall be preserved in perpetuity and shall not be considered or used for any other purpose. Exemptions to Paragraph 2 for a permanent use maybe granted by the BOCC provided the BOCC makes a finding by super majority vote in a public meeting that a Requestor has met the requirements detailed in Section 2-426 (a)(ii). Approval is being sought on this amendment to the deed restriction provided the BOCC has approved the exemption pursuant to 2-426(2)(a)(ii) for a permanent use at this same July 15, 2026 meeting. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: June 18,2025 (agenda item I2): The BOCC entered into an Interlocal Agreement with KEYS to provide a redundant power line to Key West International Airport from KEYS' Thompson Street Substation. February 18, 2026 (agenda item Q5): The BOCC granted an easement to KEYS for installation of a redundant power line across a BOCC owned non-conservation parcel.
