TEXT Page 57 Motion was made by Mayor Stormont and seconded by Commissioner Lytton to change the last sentence of the top paragraph so that it now reads as follows: "Therefore, sloping bank stabilization should be encouraged over vertical bulkheads for natural water body shorelines.

Motion was then made by Mayor Stormont and seconded by Commissioner Puto to add the following at the end of the second full paragraph: "The present 'altered' and 'unaltered' shore- line concepts, particularly without extant definitions, have contributed to random and confusing permitting actions, strategies, and interpretations. This Comprehensive Plan calls for return to former classifications as to types of water body frontage (natural or man-made) interface so as to maintain consist- ency and continuity in shoreline development standards. This concept is consistent with return to former Shoreline Protection Zone standards in the previous Land Use Plan." Motion carried unanimously. Beach Access Page 63 Motion was made by Commissioner Puto and seconded by Mayor Stormont to add the following to the end of the first sentence after the word "counties": ", although significant beach and berm systems exist in portions of the Middle and Upper Keys which are peculiarly functional to Keys geo- logical and hydrological ~haracteristics" I 55 0 2 0 9 Motion carried unanimously.

These generally should be resolved on the side of public safety and near shore systems protection, rather than guaranteed access. Therefore, limitations should be placed in future land development regulations providing for minimum length necessary only to reach prescribed water depth unless demonstrable as being in the overriding public interest, per Florida Outstanding Waters criteria."

It is realized that some are duplicative of above stated policies, but clarifications can be made after DCA review. 21.' Add Goal 11. Goal 11 The following objectives and policies shall be used as essential guidelines and references in the formulation and implementation of coastal zone protection and conservation, as well as permitting. Objective 11.1 Maintain, restore and enhance the overall quality' of the coastal zone environment to benefit the present as well as future generations of residents and visitors. Policy 11.1.1 ~onroe.county shall maintain and protect the 1ntegr1ty of the natural marine and shoreline systems and the valuable services they provide. E)(~lfJ rr 2- ~'-It./ -?IJ Policy 11.1.2 Monroe County shall protect and conserve natural areas, wildlife habitat, fisheries resources, and other renewable and- non-renewable resources. Policy 11.1.3 Monroe County shall restore and enhance to the extent economically feasible coastal I'esources degraded by land use and development practices of the past. Policy 11.1.4 Monroe County shall utilize coastal resources according to conservation principals and guard against resource commitments of an irreversible nature. Policy 11.1.5 Monroe County shall encourage research and investigation into new technologies of resource use, disposal, and recovery. Objective 11.2 Provide for sound utilization of coastal land and water resources for sustained economic vitality in balance with the environmental quality and productivity of the coastal zone. Policy 11.2.1 Monroe County shall provide adequate opportunity for economic development consistent with resource limitations. Policy 11.2.2 Monroe County shall insure that decisions on development are based on the natural, economic, and social carrying capacities of the area. Policy 11.2.3 Monroe County shall provide and improve opportunity for recreational and aesthetic enjoyment of coastal resources. Policy 11.2.4 Monroe County shall reduce the risk, potential and impact of damage due to storms and flooding. Policy 11.2.5 Monroe County shall m1n1m1ze the undesirable impact of development on both the natural and the built environment by directing development to locations that are comparatively better suited for development. Policy 11.2.6 Monroe County shall establish priorities in regard to the utilization of coastal resources by identifying those natural and socio-economic resources whose ecological, cultural, historic, or aesthetic values override all considerations as to potential use for development purposes. Objective 11.3 Increase public awareness in regard to coastal zone planning and management and encourage active citizen participation in the formulation of management plans and programs. Policy 11.3.1 Monroe County shall disseminate available information on Monroe County's coastal resources and natural and environmental systems so as to increase public awareness of the coastal zone planning and management needs. Policy 11.3.2 Monroe County shall insure that those affected by the management of coastal land and water resources have an opportunity to participate in the formulation of the management plans, so long as consistent with Goals and Objectives of this Element. Objective 11.4 Recognize the roles and responsibilities assumed by various governmental units and agencies for the protection and proper utilization of Monroe County's coastal land and water resources in order to promote a coordinated management approach. "", po~icy 11. 4.1 All agencies shall recognize that there is a demonstrated national interest in ,the management, use, protection and development of Monroe County's coastal zone. Policy 11.4.2 All agencies shall ensure that to the extent practica}:>le, Monroe County's plans and programs designed for the protection, proper utilization and conservation of resources will be consistent with the policies and principles of the State Coastal Management Program. Policy 11.4.3 All agencies shall coordinate local coastal zone planning and management activities with the South Florida Regional Planning Council and the appropriate local governmental agencies in the South Florida region in an effort to forestall any potential conflicts and achieve the most efficient and effective management of coastal resources. Policy 11.4.4 All agencies shall promote cooperation and coordination between the various local governmental units and agencies in Monroe County involved in the management of coastal resources and/or regulation of land and water uses. Goal 12 - Marine Resources The great value attributed to Monroe County's marine resources is due to their crucial role in the local economy, and in providing a wide range of natural amenities and services. Health and integrity of the marine system is a fundamental prerequisite if these resources are to continue to provide social, economic, and environmental benefits that we have, at times, taken for granted. Mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs, all of which are susceptible to pollution and dredging, are extremely important in providing food and shelter for the myriad forms of marine life, providing storm protection, and maintaining water quality. If uses and activities such as dredge and fill, destruction of natural shoreline vegetation, use of pesticides and fertilizers, improper sewage and solid waste disposal continue indiscriminately and uncontrolled, the ability of the marine system to function effectively will deteriorate, thereby resulting in the loss of many natural services and socio-economic benefits to society. Therefore', it is imperative that such uses and activities be carefully regulated so as to insure conservation and protection of resources and long-term maintenance of their productivity. objective 12.1 Recognizing the crucial role that the marine environment plays in the local economy, the protection, conservation, and management of marine resources will be viewed as an issue requiring the county's utmost attention. Policy 12.1.1 In pn effort to protect and conserve marine resources, Monroe County shall place. maximum emphasis on protecting the entire marine system. Policy 12.1.2 To this end, maintenance of water quality, protection of marine flora and fauna including shoreline vegetation, and preservation of coral reefs shall be regarded by Monroe County as being absolutely essential to maintaining the integrity of the marine system. Objective 12.2 Utilization of marine resources shall be judged sound or unsound from the standpoint of whether or not a permitted use insures conservation and long-term maintenance of the resource. High priority shall be given to those uses and activities which insure conservation and optimum sustainable productivity of marine resources. Such uses shall include, but are not limited to, mariculture, educational and scientific use, commercial fishing, and recreational uses of the type and in the magnitude which shall not cause any significant adverse impact on the marine environment. Policy 12.2.1 Monroe County shall encourage research and development programs designed to ensure optimum sustainable productivity in the marine resources industry. Policy 12.2.2 Monroe County shall support, and, wherever feasible, aid private and non-profit groups, as well as public agencies in promoting mariculture which will be compatible with the Keys' natural environment. Objective 12.3 Land and water activities which are incompatible with the preservation of marine resources because of their potential adverse effects shall be prohibited, restricted,Qr carefully regulated depending upon the nature of activity and the extent of potential impact. Policy 12.3.1 Monroe County shall support State and Federal, policies and regulations concerning dredge and fill activity and, to the extent legally practicable, shall prohibit dredging from, and/or filling of submerged lands, for development except in proven cases of overriding public interest. Policy 12.3.2 Dredging and/or filling associated with maintenance or water-dependent public projects shall be minimized and carefully managed to prevent unnecessary adverse environmental impact. Policy 12.3.3 Long-range sewage disposal alternatives, including recycling of wastes, shall be carefully reviewed and evaluated to insure protection of quality of coastal water resources. Policy 12.3.4 Monroe County shall seek cooperation of, and encourage South Florida cities and counties to improve the existing ocean disposal system and to eliminate ocean outfalls where they affect coral reef areas. Objective 12.4 Monroe County shall develop and enforce stringent development regulations to minimize pollution from point and non-point sources in an effort to improve and maintain quality of coastal waters. Programs designed to investigate and monitor nearshore water quality shall be encouraged and supported. Policy 12.4.1 Marine grass beds! mangrove communities, and associated shoreline vegetation shall be preserved to the fullest extent possible. removal of vegetation or modification of natural patterns of tidal flow arid nutrient input, cycling and export shall be considered only in case of overriding public interest. Policy 12.4.2 Monroe County shall encourage creation and restoration of marine grass beds, and mangrove communities in areas which could support such vegetative growth and could potentially enhance environmental quality. Policy 12.4.3 As far as possible, natural patterns of gradual and dispersed runoff shall be maintained. Policy 12.4.4 Direct discharge of runoff from paved areas into nearshore waters shall be restricted. Storm runoff from developed areas shall be minimized and, when possible, contained on site to filter through vegetation and soil. Objective 12.5 Land and water activity in the vicinity of stress areas (coral, grass bed, and inshore water quality) as identified and illustrated in the Florida Keys Coastal Zone Management Study and as may be discovered during any future study shall be carefully controlled and regulated in an effect to arrest further deterioration. Research and study directed toward alleviating the stresses and restoring their condition to natural healthy state shall be encouraged and supported. Objective 12.6 Monroe County shall encourage research to ascertain physiological stresses of the Keys coral reefs, as a system. Objective 12.7 Monroe County shall seek cooperation of appropriate State and Federal agencies in enacting regulations to control boat and amphibious traffic, and marine recreation activities, whenever necessary, to alleviate erosion, sedimentation, noise and other environmental problems, and to prevent destruction of submerged vegetation and coral reefs. Objective 12.8 Monroe County shall encourage and assist appropriate regional, State and Federal agencies in rigorously enforcing the existing laws and regulations protecting marine resources, and in preventing and discouraging illegal and unauthorized interferences with the resource. Goal 13 - Shoreline Use priorities and Modifications Those activities of socio-economic significance to the Keys that can only function through use of waterfront property or access to it must have first priority for inclusion in shoreline areas designated for development. Of second priority are those activities that can function inland but a shoreline location significantly enhances the land use on an economic or aesthetic basis. Any waterfront use, of course, must still make every effort to minimize environmental impact. Land uses not requiring a coastal location or that not economically or aesthetically enhanced to a significant degree shall be discouraged from waterfront locations. Objective 13 - Bulkheads and Bulkhead Lines Shoreline generally requires some degree of modification before it can be utilized for development of any sort. But such modification, unless carefully planned, can have adverse effects far beyond the area directly altered for development. For this reason, all shoreline ;;,(;~-..y' ., " ;;'~'. ". ..< modifications are subject to close scrutiny and regulation by local, state and Federal agencies. Policy 13.1.1 Bulkhead lines should be set at, or landward of, the mean high water line or the landward boundary of the shoreline protection zone, whichever is applicable. Policy 13.1.2 Where possible, sloping rip-rap structures and coastal vegetation shall be used, rather than vertical seawalls. Policy 13.1.3 Bulkhead construction shall avoid sharp-angle turns that may collect trash or cause shoaling or flushing problems. Objective 13.2 - Dredging, Filling and Artificial Waterways Policy 13.2.1 Residential developments that are feasible only tnrough the creation of land by dredging from and filling of submerged areas shall be prohibited. Policy 13.2.2 Proposed upland waterway systems shall be carefully considered by local regulatory bodies before submission for State review to determine the long-term effect upland development will have on water quality. Policy 13.2.3 The State shall not approve excavations in submerged lands or wetland areas for the purposes of obtaining fill material unless it is for a necessary public purpose, the ecological impact can be shown to be minimal and short-term, and there are no other suitable alternatives. Policy 13.2.4 Buffer zones of natural vegetation and adequate setbacks shall be established between development and any waterways. Policy 13.2.5 Waterway connections to open water shall be located in areas where impact on the littoral zone will be minimized. Policy 13.2.6 Artificial waterways shall generally not be excavated to depths greater than six feet, mean low water, to allow establishment of vegetation of the canal bottom. Policy 13.2.7 The berm of artificial waterways shall be raised so that there is a gradual slope away from the canal edge. This will help. prevent introduction of contaminants into adjacent water bodies. Policy 13.2~8 Dredging and filling for public shoreline projects shall be planned for only if the activity is water dependent and there are no feasible alternatives. Policy 13.2.9 Dredging for navigational access shall be well planned to prevent unnecessary channels. Central marina facilities shall be used if possible rether than providing individual facilities. Policy 13.2.10 All maintenance dredging and dredging spoil materials shall be placed on suitable uplands rather than into water areas. Policy 13.2.11 Turbidity control mechanisms shall be used to protect water quality in adjacent areas during construction. Policy 13.2.12 Adequate diking shall be constructed to contain fill material on upland areas and allow for settling of fine materials. Objective 13.3 - Docks and Piers Policy 13.3.1 Docks and piers shall not hinder navigation or public use of the waters. Policy 13.3.2 Docks and piers shall be constructed and maintained in a manner that does not degrade area aesthetics or conflict with adjacent shoreline uses~ Policy 13.3.3 Docks and piers shall be constructed in a manner that does not restrict water flow. Objective 13.4 - Marina Facilities Policy 13.4.1 Marinas shall be located in areas where maximum physical advantages exist, and little impact is foreseen on marine resources. Policy 13.4.2 Marina construction shall not involve destruction of marsh areas, shellfish beds, and submerged grasses. Policy 13.4.4 Turning basins and navigation channels shall be designed to prevent long-term degradation of water quality. Dead end or deep canals, or basins, without adequate flushing shall be avoided. Policy 13.4.5 'f:/!,,:~'t' Marinas that cater to livaboard craft shall be equipped with sewege collection systems for servicing the vessels. Policy 13.4.6 Regional as well as local need data shall be considered as input in location of marinas. Policy 13.4.7 All plans for marina development shall be submitted for review by appropriate State regulatory agencies at the earliest possible time to prevent unnecessary delays in gaining approval, however State agencies shall be required to adhere to local regulations if more restrictive. Policy 13.4.8 Spoil disposal areas shall be designed and obtained prior to initial development of marina facilities. Policy 13.4.9 Evaluation of potential marina sites in the Keys, as contained in the Florida Keys Coastal Zone Management Study, shall be given careful consideration prior to approval or disapproval of any proposed development of marina facilities. Policy 13.4.10 Applicants for development approval of commercial or residential marinas containing 3 or more slips on state-owned submerged lands shall additionally meet the requirements of the FloridaKeys Marina and Dock Siting policies and Criteria, Chapter 16Q-21,041, Florida Administrative Code. Policy 13.4.11 For marina and docking facilities not subject to Rule 16Q21.041, Florida Administrative Code, the following criteria shall apply: a) No docking facility shall be approved which required dredging or filling to provide access. This restriction shall also apply to the widening or deepening '~ of any canal, channel, or basin, but not to regular maintenance dredging of canals, basins or channels, provided such maintenance does not exceed acceptable water depths. b) No new or expanded marina or docking facility shall be located in waters of less than -4 feet mean low water or directly over any grass bed, reef or patch reef except for a main accessway necessary to reach vessels docked in waters of at least -4 feet mean low water in order to allow for a minimum clearance of one foot between the deepest draft and the bottom. c) When applying for docking facilities or marinas, applicants are required to use coordinated permit review procedures, recognizing that local, more stringent regulations are applicable. Objective 13.5 - Natural Landforms and Features Management policies Policy 13.5.1 Efforts shall be made to ensure that no representative natural eco-system or a special natural feature presently existing in the Keys is extirpated from the area through unwise land use or management practices. Policy 13.5.2 Monroe County shall encourage and support scientific studies and investigations of the Keys geological and hydrological resources. Policy 13.5.3 Devcelopment in both the public and private sector shall be required to take into consideration protective measures for natural landforms and features during the planning process so as to minimize modification of the hydrological regime and natural landscape. Policy 13.5.4' Mud "banks, shoals and islands in the surrounding waters of Florida Bay and Hawk Channel shall be preserved to the greatest degree possible. Modification of these environmental units ~hall be considered only in the case of over-riding public interest and in conformance with prevailing State and Federal regulations, as well as ,local regulations which may be more stringent. Policy 13.5.5 Development activities shall be required to protect tidal flushing and circulation patterns. Any project which may produce changes in circulation patterns shall be approved only after sufficient hydrographic information is available to allow an accurate evaluation of the possible impacts of the project. Previously existing manmade alterations shall be evaluated so as to determine whether more hydrological benefits will accrue through their removal as part of the project. Policy 13.5.6 Existing spoil islands shall be protected and maintained to serve as green areas, bird roosting, nesting, and feeding areas and/or water oriented recreation areas not requiring major expenditure of public funds. Planting with native vegetation shall be encouraged whenever possible. Policy 13.5.7 priorities shall be established for the use of the shoreline. All proposed shoreline uses shall be analyzed with respect to the biophysical character of the area to be modified and any adverse socio-economic and environmental impacts of permissible uses shall be minimized. Development practices which have the potential of causing erosion of the beaches and shoreline shall be regulated. Policy 13.5.8 Development of mixed uses that are compatible with existing uses and natural environment shall b encouraged along the shoreline. ~ Errata Sheet conservation Element Explanation: Page = page number where error occurs ;'" Par = number of full paragraph where error occurs (top = top of page in remainder of paragraph from previous page); line = line within paragraph where error occurs; Correction = corrected error as it should appear; Nature of Error: gram = error in grammar, tech = technical error such as citations, typo = typographical error such as misspellings; Change in Substance or Meaning of statement?

Improvements to Highway US-1 and the potable water system are outside the County's fiscal responsibility, as they are maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation ( FDOT) and the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority (FKAA) , respectively. Capital improvements for which the County has fiscal responsibility, namely those to County roads and solid waste facilities, will be funded via three funds in the Monroe County budget. County road improvements wi thin the Card Sound Road and Toll District are funded by tolls in the Card Sound Bridge Fund. All other County road improvements are funded by gas taxes in the Road and Bridge Fund. All solid waste improvements are funded by enterprise revenues, an escrow account, the infrastructure sales tax, and a community development block grant, as listed in the Municipal Service District (MSD) Fund. The preliminary assessment assumes a five percent annual increase in the operating expendi tures in each of the three funds. The assessment also assumes a five percent annual increase in the gas tax revenues of the Road and Bridge Fund. Card Sound Bridge tolls and MSD enterprise revenues are assumed to remain constant in the preliminary assessment.

However, without revenue increases, the Card Sound Bridge Fund will experience a shortfall in fiscal years 1991 and 1992, due to the $7 million Card Sound Road project. Likewise, the MSD Fund will experience a shortfall over the entire five-year period, barring revenue increases. To remedy the shortfalls identified in the Card Sound Bridge Fund, the County will increase tolls and issue revenue bonds to complete the Card Sound Road improvements. A preliminary analysis indicates that an increase in tolls from $1.00 to $2.00 per vehicle would be sufficient to service the twenty-year debt from a $7 million bond issue, while still maintaining sufficient operating revenues. This analysis assumes 900,000 vehicles per year, an annual debt service of $720,500, and an elasticity factor of 0.95. Furthermore, the Card Sound Road proj ect will be postponed one year, due to permitting delays. To remedy the shortfalls identified in the MSD Fund, the necessary revenue will be obtained through increased user fees. Table incorporates these actions into a final fiscal assessment. Note that both the Card Sound Bridge and MSD Funds show a balance of zero or greater for each of the five years.

For all other development approvals, as well as approvals leading to increases in development potential such as subdivision and zoning approvals, the test for concurrency shall be met at the initial approval stage. Annual Concurrency Assessment The County shall prepare an annual assessment of public facilities capacity addressing road, park, sewer, solid waste, potable water, and drainage facilities. The assessment shall identify areas of inadequate facility capacity, which are those areas served by facilities that fail to meet the adopted level of service standard ( s) referenced in Policy 1.4.1. The assessment shall also identify areas of marginally adequate facility capacity, which are those areas served by facilities operating at the adopted level of service standard(s) or which are projected to reach inadequate capaCity within the next twelve (12) months. Areas of Inadequate Facility Capacity The County shall not issue development approvals within areas served by inadequate facilities, as identified in the annual assessment of public facilities capacity, except where: a) the development will not reduce the capacity of the facility; or b) the necessary facilities and services are in place at the time a development permit is issued; or c) the development permit is issued subject to the condition that the necessary facilities and services will be in place when the impacts of the development occur; or d) the necessary facilities are under construction at the time a permit is issued; or e) an enforceable development agreement guarantees that the necessary facilities and services will be in place when the impacts of the development occur. An enforceable development agreement may include, but is not limited to, development agreements pursuant to section 163.3220, F.S., or an agreement or development order issued pursuant to Chapter 380, F.S. In areas served by inadequate transportation facilities, development may be approved, provided that: f) the development, in combination with all other development permitted by the County, will not increase traffic volumes by more than five (5) percent above the volumes reported in the most recent annual assessment of public facilities capacity; or g) the necessary facilities are included in the first three years of the adopted FDOT Five Year Work Program. Areas of Marginally Adequate Facility CapaCity Within areas of marginally adequate facility capacity, as identified in the annual assessment of public facilities capacity, the County shall continue to approve development in accordance with the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. When the estimated impacts of a proposed development are expected to violate a level of service standard referenced in Policy 1.4.1, the County shall either deny the development approval or condition the approval so that the adopted level of service standards are not violated, in accordance with the gUidelines established for areas of inadequate facility capaCity."

In the interim period, Monroe County shall continue to require adequate public or private facilities prior to the issuance of building permits, in accordance with Section 9.5-291 et seq. of the Monroe county Land Development Regulations. The determination of adequate public facilities during this interim period shall be based on the most recent annual assessment of public facilities capacity, in accordance with Section 9.5-292(b)(3) of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations. Further, Monroe County shall provide public facilities in accordance with the Five Year Schedule of Capital Improvements shown in Table Since it is based on the public facility needs identified in Table 1, the Five Year Schedule of Capital Improvements is consistent with the individual elements of the comprehensive plan.
