Resolution 062-1982'1 RESOLUTIONJNO. 62 -1982 9 ?"WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONR.OE COUNTY, FLORIDA, has received an application from G. F. Swilling , and ,VHEREAS, in compliance with State Statute, it is necessary as part of the permitting procedure to read the following Biological Assessment into the Record, as follows: The applicant proposes to construct a bulkhead/seawall with backfill along his Key Largo property shoreline. The proposed bulkhead will extend along the southwestern 40+ ft. of the applicant's 60+ ft. property shoreline between the approximate mean low water and +3.0+ ft. elevations. It will be constructed of concrete and steel reinforced coral rock and equipped with four (4) wooden boat mooring pilings spaced at 6+ ft. intervals adjacent to the proposed seawall's approximate center area. Backfill materials include coral rock (unspecified size) and pea gravel top dressing. The amounts of each of these materials to be used for this purpose are specified as "4 of 5 pickup (truck) loads." It should be mentioned that the above -stated project description is based upon the author's best impression of the proposed project from both the application materials presented and his onsite in- spection of the project area. Due to the relative ambiguity of both of these sources (see attached diagram, application), it should be considered only an impression and not an exact descrip- tion. The applicant's property is situated in the northeastern corner of Key Largo Park Subdivision on central bayside, Key Largo, Monroe County. Key Largo Park Subdivision is an average -sized (50+ acre), single family residential development adjacent to Hurricane Harbor waterbody in Florida Bay. Approximately 50 percent of this sub- division is presently developed, with a majority of the existing residences being situated near and adjacent to the Hurricane Harbor shoreline portion of the subdivision. Upland areas within the subdivision have been largely cleared and filled (in acres) and are presently vegetated by a variety of native pioneer shrubs, grasses and bushes and isolated trees. Huricane Harbor consists of a small (2,000+ ft. wide), predominantly natural, flow -through, waterbody adjacent to westcentral Key Largo and contiguous with Florida Bay (ClassIII) waters. It is protected by a 'large (8+ acre) mangrove barrier island extending northeast to southwest across the mouth of the Harbor. Although predominantly a natural waterbody, portions of the Harbor have been altered (dredged), prim- arily in both harbor access .areas and along the upland or eastern Key Largo Park Subdivision shoreline. The majority of the existing waterfront residences along this Harbor shoreline area are equipped with some type of shoreline stabilization and/or boating -related facilities (ie, docks, ramps and davits). The applicant's property consists of an average -sized residential lot bordered by Lake Shore Drive roadway to the east, Hurricane Harbor to the west and similar -sized residential lots to the north or south. Although both of these adjacent lots are presently undeveloped, the northerly adjacent lot has been cleared and filled and bulkheaded in preparation for the same. The applicant's property has been developed for some time with an existing, two-story S.F.R.. Adjacent upland property areas have been cleared and filled and are presently vegetated by a variety of landscaped native and exotic flora and open lawn area. Resolution G. F. Swilling Riprap and Seawall Page Two The project area consists of the applicant's southwestern property shoreline areas at the northeastern corner of Hurrican Harbor waterbody. With the exception of a 15+ ft. wide, unstabilized boat lauching ramp area along the northern property shoreline (not in project area), the majority of the existing shoreline areas are in natural condition. Existing transitional vegetation consists.. of small patches of sea daisy (Borrichia spp.) and glasswort (Salicornia spp). No wetland vegetation was observed in this area. A 5+ ft. wide, submerged (-1.0 ft. MSL) shelf exists adjacent to this shoreline area. This shelf area has been variously impacted in the past both by small riprap materials and pea gravel deposi- tions in areas. As a result, there is presently little existing submergent vegetation within this area (patches of green and brown algae). The predominant substrated in this area is coral limerock. Waterward of this shelf area, water depth increases to -3'.0 to -6.0 ft. (MSL; varies; not including dredged areas). Moderate growths of both Halodule and Thalassia spp. seagrass were observed throughout the Harbor Area (with the exception of the deeper dredged areas). Marine fauna observed included Casseopei.a spp. anemones and several locally common species of fish (snappers grunts and minnows). ?",ater quality with the Harbor Area is fair with poor visibility and circulation evident. The primary impact of the proposed project will be in the removal and loss of the presently small amounts transitional and algal vegetation presently growing within the seawall and backfill place- ment areas. If care is not taken during construction activities, additional impacts may occur as a result of constructton material debris deposition upon adjacent submergent vegetation. BE:`IT.RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that the above Biological Assessment has been read into the record and duly considered pursuant to Florida Statute 253.124 by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, this 9th day of February 19 82 at a regularly scheduled meeting.
