BIG PINE KEY ARTERIAL ACCESS ROAD" PROJECT,
ALL AS PROVIDED FOR BY FLORIDA STATUTE 335.20
AND RULE CHAPTER 14-89, FLORIDA ADMINI-
STRATIVE CODE AS ADOPTED BY THE F.D.O.T.
IMPLEMENTING THIS PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, the 1985 Florida Legislature created the "Local
Government Transportation Assistance Act" by its passage of
~335.20, Florida Statutes; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said Act, the Florida Department of
Transportation has adopted Rule Chapter 14-89, Florida Admini-
strative Code, entitled "Local Government Cooperative Assistance
Program" in order to implement said Act; and
WHEREAS, said Department has published in the December 27,
1985 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly a notice to
eligible local governments that $770,000 in State Matching Funds
is expected to be available during the State's July 1st 1986
through June 30, 1987 Fiscal Year within the F.D.O.T. District VI
geographical area (Monroe and Dade Counties) under the "Local
Government Assistance Program"; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County,
Florida, whose address is P.O. Box 1029, Key West, Florida 33040,
is an "Eligible Local Government" for purposes of said program;
and
WHEREAS, said Board has previously, at their meeting of July
19, 1985, identified the proposed Cross Big Pine Key Arterial
Access Road, which would provide east-west traffic access across
the central portion of Big Pine Key northerly of U.S. #1 to and
from the east and west coastal populated areas of the Key and
between Key Deer Boulevard (County Road C-940) and the new
shopping center thus diverting such traffic off of U.S. #1, as
being a potentially eligible project under the Local Government
Assistance Program; and
WHEREAS, said proposed proj ect would run easterly along
Harbor Lights Road from its intersection with Ships Way to Sandy
Circle; thence northerly along Sandy Circle to the section corner
of Sections 22, 23, 27 and 28 in Township 66 South, Range 29
East; thence easterly along the common section line of Sections
23 and 28 to its intersection with Wilder Road; thence southerly
Wilder Road to a point opposite the Southwest Corner of Lot CI;
thence Easterly along the southern boundary of Lots CI-BV,
BC-AP-W-J; thence Northerly along the East line of lot J to the
intersection of Hibiscus Drive, which said proposed alignment
includes approximately 5,593 feet more or less; and
WHEREAS, said Board of County Commissioners is presently
unaware of whether projects in the F.D.O.T. 's 1983 5-year and/or
current 5-year transportation plan in the Big Pine Key Area along
U.S. #1, the need for which may be delayed or eliminated by the
implementation of the proposed Secondary Arterial Road project,
described above, have been specifically identified by F.D.O.T.;
and
WHEREAS, the proposed project phases which are included in
the County's request for matching funds are right-of-way acquisi-
tion, planning, preliminary engineering, design and construction,
with the current stage of project development being in the right-
of-way acquisition phase, working towards an overall proj ect
completion date for opening the facility to traffic of no late
than July 19, 1987, pursuant to unanimous motion of the Board of
County Commissioners at their July 19th, 1985 meeting, which may
include when and if required, the use of eminent domain powers by
the Board of right-of-way acquisition/condemnation/ and
WHEREAS, the county has expended a total of approximately
$3,000.00 to date during the ongoing right-of-way acquisition and
planning phases on the part of County Public Works Department and
County Attorney's staff personnel time and materials as well as
its general engineering consultant's supplementary efforts and
the overall predesign present statement of probable project costs
is $271,225, including $36,225.00 for right-of-way acquisition
phase, $20,000 for planning phase, $15,000 for preliminary
2
engineering phase, and $200,000 for design and construction
phase; and
WHEREAS, the average daily background traffic for U. S. 111
through Big Pine Key is proj ected to be approximately 10,300
vehicles per day in 1987, based upon actual traffic counts by the
F.D.O.T. in 1984; and
WHEREAS, a preliminary analysis of the locally generated
traffic on Big Pine Key, including that traffic generated by the
Shopping Center on Key Deer Boulevard, having no alternate
east-west local route, adds approximately an additional 4,400
vehicles per day to the proj ected U. S. 1 traffic volume for a
1987 projected average daily total of approximately 14,700
vehicles per day on U. S. #1 at the Key Deer Boulevard inter-
section, which said projected traffic volume is thus below level
of Service "D" as defined by F.D.O.T.; and
WHEREAS, the proj ected traffic volume can be expected to
increase six percent (6%) annually, thus, further lowering the
level of service on U.S. III through Big Pine Key; and
WHEREAS, the proposed proj ect will provide an alternate
east-west route through Big Pine Key for use by local traffic in
the amount of approximately 3,300 vehicles per day, and will thus
improve the proj ected level of service on U. S. 111 through Big
Pine Key; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:
1. It is hereby certified unto the Florida Department of
Transportation that the proposed "Cross Big Pine Key Arterial
Access Road" project is consistent with the transportation
element of the existing Monroe County Comprehensive Master Land
Use Plan, and, by unanimous motion of the Board on July 19, 1985,
the said proposed proj ect will be identified in the proposed
Monroe County Comprehensive Master Land Use Plan now under
consideration by the Board as a secondary collector road.
2. It is hereby further certified unto the Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation by said Board and its Chief Fiscal Officer
that only proceeds of the fifth and sixth cent local option gas
tax (as adopted by Ordinance 1128-1985 on August 27, 1985) and/or
3
proceeds from bonds pledged by said local option taxes are to be
used for matching purposes for this project and that sufficient
matching funds are currently available in this category of the
Monroe County Transportation Trus t Fund for the County's 80%
share of all project costs, except as such existing funding may
be impacted in the improbable situation as conditionally
described in the next paragraph hereof.
3. That the above recited statement of probable right-of-
way purchase and/or condemnation costs is a very rough
approximation inasmuch as it is presently anticipated that the
majority of the necessary right-of-way will be obtained from
affected contiguous parcel owners without cost, however, the
Board of County Commissioners reserves the right to request
additional matching funds at a later date should presently
unforeseen right-of-way acquisition costs materialize.
4. That the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County
is desirous of and hereby makes application to District VI 0 the
F.D.O.T. for 20% matching funds in the amount of $54.245 for the
right-of-way acquisition, planning, preliminary engineering,
design and construction phases for the proposed "Cross Big Pine
Key Arterial Access Road" project under the "Local Government
Cooperative Assistance Program".
5. That the Clerk and Chief Fiscal Officer of said Board is
hereby directed to forward a certified copy of this Resolution/
Application to Florida Department of Transportation, District VI,
Mr. Tom Thomson, Director, Planning and Programs, 401 N.W. 2nd
Avenue, Miami, Florida 33128, prior to 5:00 P.M., March 3, 1986,
with copies to the Monroe County Legislative Delegation.

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of
