Resolution 193-1984 '--..... RESQ)!:UtI<ON NQ). 193 -1984 WHEREAS, the BQ)ARD Q)F CQ)UNtM C<OffimISSIQ)NERS Q)F mQ)NRQ)E CQ)UNtM, F!:<ORIDA, has receiven an application fram ann William E. Woon , WHEREAS, in compliance with State Statute, it is necessary as part of the permitting procenure to rean the fallowing Biological Assessment into the Recorn, as fallows: The applicant proposes to dredge a boat slip approximately 30 feet wide by 55 feet long by 3 feet above a.H.W. and 5 feet below a.H.W. with a 4 foot wide perimeter dock. Applicant proposes to use a backhoe to excavate approximately 428 cu. yds. of limerock for construction of said boats lip with no planned subsequent stabilization of basin sides. Applicant also states his intention to utilize a turbidity barrier across waterward side of project while construction is in progress. All proposed dredging will be accomplished landward of M.H.W. line. Applicant further proposes to deposit dredged material in two berm areas in front of proposed residence. Methods for spoil containment and dewatering are unspecified. Applicant's residential lot appears to be one of few remaining undeveloped lots in Point Pleasant Drive area. Point Pleasant community seems well- established in area. Western edge of applicant's property is adjacent to Buttonwood Sound which comprises a portion of the "outstanding waters" of Everglades National Park as defined in Chapter 17-3.041 of the Florida Administrative Code. The majority of residences along westward side of Pt. Pleasant Dr. have boat basins, slips, finger piers or some other type of boat mooring facility. Developed area consists primarily of limestone rock sediment and is variously vegetated by a variety of predominantely terrestrial trees, grasses and bushes. The residence adjacent to applicant's north side contains a similar boat slip/basin with dock to that proposed here. All waters of this area appeared to be clean, clear and generally of excellent quality including those within the adjacent neighbor's boat basin. Applicant's lot contains a variety of upland flora including such plants as West Indian mahogany (Swietenia mahogoni), bush lantana (Lantana involucrata) and Spanish stopper (Eugenia Myrtoides). Predominant sediment type is limestone rock, although area proposed for dredging has been filled at least one previously with a variety of fill material (i.e., macadam chunks, concrete slips, limerock). Water quality both in the adjacent Buttonwood Sound and in the northern neighbor's existing boat basin appears excellent with lush growths of Cuban shoalweed (Halodule wrightee) observed in each. Also observed were patches of turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum) and several species of brown, green and red algae. Marine fauna observed included glass minows (Anchoa spp.) and several species of Coelenterate. Marine sediments appeared to be comparatively free of detrital deposit. Direct impact of proposed project would entail the removal of approximately 428 cu. yds. of previously disturbed uplands area which is only sparsely vegetated, and would therefore be minimal, providing care is taken during construction to prevent spoil material from falling into waters of the state. Longer term impacts of proposed boat slip/basin with dock would be to provide additional marine wildlife habitat for nursery and feeding activities for the flora and fauna of Buttonwood Sound.

J)S~ TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Wood Dock, Basin Legal: Lot 3, Block 2, Point Pleasant, Key Largo Zoning: RU-l I. INTRODUCTION: This application to excavate a boat basin should be reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners pursuant to Section 19-1ll(b) (4) of the Monroe County Code. II. PROJECT AND SITE: The applicant proposes to construct, by excavation, a boat basin 55 feet long by 30 feet wide to a depth of 5 feet below the Mean High Water Line (M.H.W.L.), to be enclosed with a vertical seawall. As well, a boat ramp 15 feet by 12 feet and a 4 foot wide perimeter dock are proposed. Since this activity effectively extends into navigable waters, then it should be reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners pursuant to Section 19-1ll(b) (4) of the Monroe County Code. The site in question was inspected on 12-2-83 by Annette Nielsen, County Biologist, and this report is essentially a compilation of her findings. The lot in question does not fall within the Shoreline Protection Zone (SPZ) as defined in Section 4-18 of the Monroe County Code. Scattered turtle grass (Thalassia sp.) and Cuban shoal weed (Halodule sp.) are located in the near and far shore vicinity. Upland vegetation present includes Brazilion pepper (Schinus terebinthefolius), mahogany (Swietenia mahogani), lantana (Lantana involucrata) and Spanish stopper (Eugenia myrtoides) . The applicant has applied for and been granted a building permit as a principle structure to coincide with the applied for accessory structures. -2- III. EVALUATION: Since this lot has been previously filled, reexcavation will effectively enlarge marine waters and habitat for marine organisms, a minimal impact should be expected. The short-term effect will be to increase turbidity while work is occurring. IV. RECOMMENDATION: The biologist, as per Ms. Nielsen's evaluation, recommends approval for the above stated project. Conditions: (1) Turbidity screens to be employed during construction V. OTHER: The applicant has a permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (#44-33020-SE) (see enclosed). A permit may be required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (A.C.O.E.) Also,this property was originally permitted in the name of Raymond Gordon. This property is now owned by William Wood, therefore, the name has not been changed on the D.E.R. application. PERMIT MONROE COUNTY &~ ,. PLANNING.
