IDHEREA.$, the B~ARD ~F t~UN~M t~mmI.$SI~NER.$ ~F m~NR~E t~UN~M, FC~RIDA,
has receiven an application from
~~R~ KRAmER
ann
WHEREA.$, in compliance with state Statute, it is necessary as part
of the permitting procenure to rean the following Biological Assessment
into the Recorn, as follows:
The applicant is proposing to construct 80 lineal feet of riprap revetment
along a residential shoreline for the purpose of erosion protection. Riprap
would be placed at the mean high water line (MHWL) and waterward, but no
further waterward than the mean low water line (MLWL).
Filter cloth would be utilized behind the riprap boulders and fill would be
placed behind the riprap. Total fill that would be placed is 50 cubic
yards, inclusive of the riprap. Of this total, 25 cubic yards would be
deposited below the MHWL.
All work would be done from the applicant's uplands.
The project site is located on the western side of Cudjoe Bay, in a single
family residential development referred to as Cudjoe Gardens. Although
most of the platted lots along this particular shoreline have been filled
to developable elevations, development of these lots is minimal.
A variety of mangroves fringe the shoreline in this general area, although
this fringe is relatively sparse (secondary growth).
A peripheral channel parallels much of the shoreline, with some sections
connected to deeper water via access channels, which extend further offshore.
Water depths are relatively shallow within the majority of Cudjoe Bay.
Cudjoe Bay possesses both hard bottom benthic communities comprised of
turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum).
The lot north of the applicant's property has been built upon, although
the shoreline has remained undeveloped, and possesses buttonwoods
(Conocarpus erecta) and saltwort (Sesuvium portulacastrum), as does the
lot to the south, which undeveloped.
The applicant's lot, although previously filled, probably at the time of
the offshore peripheral channel excavation, grades down gradually to the
water's edge. Along this shoreline, it appears that the transitional
vegetation has been cut back, leaving a somewhat barren and disturbed
shoreline.
Below the erosion line, a limerock rubble intertidal area is encountered.
This intertidal area is wider on the south side of the lot, due to a greater
degree of erosion. Within this rubble area were gastropods (Nerita sp.)
and mussels (Brachidontes sp.). A large amount of wind-blown wrack had
accumulated here at the time of the on-site inspection.
Waterward of the intertidal zone, a subtidal area possessing turtle-
grass and manatee grass (Syringodium filiformis) exists which gives way to
the deeper waters of the offshore perpheral channel. Again, the subtidal
area is wider on the south side of the lot (maximum width of this area
is about five feet, although there is almost no subtidal area on the north
side of the lot).
Resolution No.

Anticipated impacts should be minimal. As proposed, the riprap should
provide shoreline stabilization, while avoiding any significant resource
destruction.

Subject: Kramer, Riprap revetment and dock
Legal: Lot 18, Block 3, Cudjoe Gardens Subdivision, Cudjoe Key
Zoning: RU-l
I. INTRODUCTION: This application for. a dock and fill below the Mean
High Water Line (MHWL) should be reviewed by the Board of County
Commissioners p~rsuant to Section 19-1ll(a)(5) of the Monroe County Code.
II. SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The lot in question was inspected on
March 15, 1984 and resulted in the following: The applicant's property
is located on the western side of Cudjoe Bay. A peripheral channel
parallels the applicant's property line at approximately 15 feet from _
the Mean High Water Line (MHWL). The lot does not fall within the
Shoreline Protection Zone (SPZ) as defined in Section 4-18 of the
Monroe County Code. Much of the. shoreline vegetation has been cut
back with only small buttonwoods remaining. ,The subtidal vegetation
consists of sparse clumps of Batophora. The applicant proposes to erect
a rip rap revetment in'which 25 cubic yards of fill will be placed water~
ward of MHWL and 25 cubic yards will be placed landward of MHWL. In
addition, a 4 .feet by 10 feet and 4 feet by 5 feet perimeter dock will
'. be.constructed. The applicant has expressed a desire to keep the button-
wood~ present. and revegetate any disturbed ,by the placement of the riprap.
III. EVALUATION: Since placement of 25 cubic yards of fill will be
waterward of the MHWL, then this activity should be rev~ewed by the
Board of County Commissionerp pursuant to Section 19-111(a) (5) of the
Monroe County Code. _The anticipated impact should be minimal 'with the
overall effect of shoreline stabilization. The applicant has. agreed to
revegetate any area disturbed by the activity.
IV. RECOMMENDATION: The biologist recommends approval for the placement
, of 50 cubic yards of fill, 80 linear feet of riprap and a peripheral dock
(5'x4', 10'~~l~'). Conditions: (1) Filter cloth to be employed; (2)
Buttonwoods to be replanted at the existing escarpment area.
V, OTHER: Other permits may b~ required by the Florida Department. of
Environmental Regulation ~FDER) and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
(ACOE).
