Commissioner Gene Lytton
RESOLUTION NO. 188-1987
WHEREAS, the entire County of Monroe, State of Florida has
endured the rigors of being designated an Area of Critical State
Concern, and
WHEREAS, that designation and its attending Principles for
Guiding Development regulations have heaped upon the entire
County of Monroe, State of Florida repressive and discriminatory
land management, and
WHEREAS, in addition to the foregoing, the entire County of
Monroe, State of Florida has had to simultaneously comply with
the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development
Regulations Act, and
WHEREAS, this overwhelming combination has resulted in
rigid, severe, harsh and inequitous affects on local government
and private property rights alike, and
WHEREAS, every single millimeter of every ocean, bay and
bight in the entire County of Monroe, State of Florida has been
designated Outstanding Florida Waters, and
WHEREAS, the County of Monroe, State of Florida has repelled
one attempt to declare every single millimeter of every ocean, bay
or bight an Aquatic Preserve and well expects repeated attempts,
and
WHEREAS, the County of Monroe, State of Florida has repelled
one attempt to classify the entire Florida Keys as Barrier
Islands and is confronted at present with a second attempt, and
WHEREAS, the Florida Department of Environmental Regulations
is presently entertaining proposed rule making under Docket No.
87-14R which deals with discriminatory Dredge and Fill
Regulations applicable only and exclusively to Monroe County,
State of Florida, and which will virtually eliminate any future
marina, pier or dock construction in a county almost entirely
dependent upon a total water oriented economy, now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that the Governor, State of Florida;
President, Florida State Senate; Speaker, Florida House of
Representatives; the Monroe County State Legislative Delegation;
the Monroe County Federal Congressional Delegation and the

be made aware, by copy hereof, of the awesome cumulative effects
of the foregoing actions, and the grave concern of local
government for property rights and economic survival.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of
Monroe County, Florida, at a regular meeting of said Board held
on the 21st day of April, A.D. 1987.
