Resolution 098-1982
RESOLUTION NO.

WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY,
FLORIDA, has received an application from JACQUES PELLERIN
and
WHEREAS, 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 recover land lost to erosion and stabilize
the new shoreline. A 70 ft. long seawall constructed of cemented
together limestone boulders will serve to protect the new shoreline.
Sixty (60) ft. of the seawall's length will be along altered natural
shoreline and 10 ft. will re along a canal. It is estimated that the
new shoreline will be 5 ft. waterward of its location before erosion
set in (ie, 300 sq. ft. of baybottom will be filled).
A 30 ft. long by 5 ft. wide pile supported pier with a 10 ft. by
7 ft. "L" at the waterward end will be erected. In total, the dock
will cover 220 sq. ft. of baybottom.
With the exception of the dock, all of the proposed work is now
complete.
The applicant's property is located in Sexton Cove Subdivision on
Key Largo. Sexton Cove is a large (100+ acre) Moblie Home ~ub-
division located on Blackwater Sound. Virtually all of the lots with-
in the subdivision front on canals or natural shoreline. The sub-
division was created by placing fill from the canals onto the ad-
jacent land. Most of the filled land was mangrove forest before
being filled. The Blackwater Sound shoreline of the subdivision
follows the approximate line of the waterward edge of the mangroves
before the filling took place. All of the waters surrounding the site
are designated Class III (Chapter 17-3.081, Florida Administrative
Code). At present an estimated 90 percent of the lots in the sub-
division are occupied by Hoblie Homes.
Immediately adjacent to the project site to the south and east are
single family mobile home residences. The north side of the site
is bounded by approximately 700 ft. long unnamed finger canal.
To the west is Blackwater Sound.
The Department first became aware of the applicant's filling activi-
ties on 3-23-81, while investigating a complaint about unauthorized
filling. At the time. it appeared that the work qualified for a Class
A emergency permit. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to con-
tact the applicant and have him apply for a permit as required by
Chapter 17-4.28 (5) (a), Florida Administrative Code.
On 11-12-81, upon investigating a second complaint about the appli-
cant's activities it was discovered that considerably more work had
been done. At this point it no longer appeared that a Class A
emergency permit could be justified. The applicant was contacted
and the present after-the-fact permit application resulted.
The applicant's uplands consist of a 50+ ft. by 80+ ft. lot. A
moblie ~ome occupies the lot. ~ith the-exception of a few ornamental
scrubs t~e entire area around the house is paved with pea gravel.
The proposed dock is exempted from dredge and fill permitting re-
quirements by Chapter 17-4.04 (10) (c). As a result the remainder of
this report will address only the proposed seawall and backfill.
Hesolution

Dock and Seawall
Page Two
Before the seawall was built the section of the applicant's shore-
line which faced toward Blackwater Sound consisted of a crushed rock
beach with a few widely spaced boulders. On the beach a very sparse
biota could be found. The sparseness of the biota was probably due
to the unstable and exposed nature of the substrate.
The present shoreline is located at approximately the -1 ft. MLW
contour. As a result of the degree of exposure and vertical nature
of the present shoreline, no emergent wetland flora (eg. mangroves)
exist or is likely to eventually establish itself.
The lower reaches of the seawall have been colonized by a flora com-
posed of Actabularia sp., Dasya sp., Batophora sp. and filamentous
bluegreen algae. No fauna was observed to have established itself
on the seawall as of the time of the field inspection..
The baybottom drops off to a depth of 3 to 4 ft. at a distance of
50 ft. from shore. The baybottom within a few feet of the seawall
is vegetated with turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum) and Cuban
shoalweed (Diplanthera wrightii). It is difficult to tell at this
time, but the evidence suggests that very little of the area filled
was vegetated by seagrass before being filled.
The project will permanently remove an estimated 600 sq. ft. of
baybottom and littoral zone from the marine ecosystem. The littoral
zone, because it had not stabilized and established a climactic
biota, contributed little to the marine ecosystem. The sublittoral
area that has been filled apparently has a more biologically impor-
tant contribution to the marine ecosystem in the form of vegetation
and fauna.
The stabilized shore will allow the establishment of an epifaunal
community typical of such shallow water rocky substrates. The new
biota will, it is believed, be somewhat less than a 1 for 1 replace-
ment for what was lost.
If the applicant has applied for a before-the-fact permit, this in-
spector would have recommended placing the seawall approximately 5 ft.
landward of its present location. It is felt that relocating
the seawall will at this time do more harm than good. Under the pro-
visions of Chapter 403.161, Florida Statutes, I recommend that the
applicant be fined $500 for willing the waters of the state without
proper authorization.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF ~mNROE
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

INTRODUCTION:
This project is to be reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners
in accordance with Chapter 19-111 (a) (5) of the Monroe County Code.
DISCUSSION:
Applicant is applying for an after-the-fact permit for a 70 linear
foot rip-rap seawall and backfill. Sixty (60) ft. of the seawall
was constructed along Blackwater Sound and the remainder along a
man-made canal. It is reported that 20 c.y. of fill was placed
above and below the mean high water line (total amount of fill,
40 c. y. ) .
In addition, a 30 ft. long x 5 ft. wide pier is proposed with a
10 ft. x 7 ft. section at the waterward end.
This project is discussed in greater detail in the Department of
Environmental Regulation report and should be read for additional
information.
EVALUATION:
I agree with the conclusion of the DER report that the seawall
should have been placed approximately 5 ft. landward of its pre-
sent location. However, the damage done is not important enough
to justify moving the seawall back.
RECOMMENDATION:
After-the-fact approval for the rip-rap seawall and backfill and
approval for the proposed pier.

Biological and Water Quality Assessment
A. Description of proposed project and construction techniques.
Quantify area of project which extends into waters of the state
(including the submerged lands of those waters and the transi-
tional zone of the submerged land) as defined in Section 17-4.02
and Section 17-4.28, Florida Administrative Code.
B. Biophysical features of general area. Include comments concerning
extent of development of adjoining properties as well as relevant
historical facts about the area.
C. Biophysical features of specific project site and spoil site if
applicable. Include identification of bottom types and any
relevant historical facts about the area of the project.
D. Potential impact of project on biological resources and water
quality. Address long-term impact as well as immediate impact
for all aspects of the project.
E. Suggestions, where appropriate, for modifications that may reduce
or minimize the potential impact of project.

A. The applicant proposes to recover land lost to erosion and
stabilize the new shoreline. A 70 ft. long seawall constructed
of cemented together limestone boulders will serve to protect
the new shoreline. Sixty (60) ft. of the seawalYs length will
be along altered natural shoreline and 10 ft. will be along a
canal. It is estimated that the new shoreline will be 5 ft.
waterward of its location before erosion set .in (ie. 300 sq. ft.
of baybottom will be filled).
A 30 ft. long by 5 ft. wide pile supported pier with a 10 ft. by
7 ft. "L" at the waterward end will be erected. In total, the
dock will cover 220 sq. ft. of baybottom.
With the exception of the dock, all of the proposed work is now
complete.
B. The applicant's property is located in Sexton Cove Subdivision
on Key Largo. Sexton Cove is a large (100~ acre) Mobile Home
subdivision located on Blackwater Sound. Virtually all of the
lots within the subdivision front on canals or natural shoreline.
The subdivision was created by placing fill from the canals onto
the adjacent land. Most of the filled land was mangrove forest
before being filled. The Blackwater Sound shoreline of the sub-
division follows the approximate line of the waterward edge of
the mangroves before the filling took place. All of the waters
surrounding the site are designated Class III (Chapter 17-3.081,
Florida Administrative Code). At present an estimated 90 percent
of the lots in the subdivision are occupied by Mobile Homes.
Immediately adjacent to the project site to the south and east are
single family mobile home residences. The north side of the site
is bounded by a approximacely 700 ft. ~0ng unnalli~d finger canal.
To the west is Blackwater Sound.
C. The Department first became aware of the applicant's filling
activities on 3-23-81, while investingating a complaint about
unauthorized filling. At the time it appeared that the work
qualified for a Class A emergency permit. Several unsuccessful
attempts were made to. contact the applicant and have him apply for
a permit as required by Chapter l7-4.28(S)(a), Florida Administra-
tive Code.
On 11-12-81, upon investigating a second complaint about the
applicant's activities it was discovered that considerably more
work had been done. At this point it no longer appeared
PELLERIN, JACQUES
#44-40298-5E

that a Class A emergency permit could be justified. The applicant
was contacted and the present after-the-fact permit application
resulted.
The applicantls uplands consist of a 50+ ft. by 80+ ft. lot. A
mobile home occupies the lot. With the-exception of a few orna-
mental scrubs the entire area around the house is paved with pea
gravel.
The proposed dock is exempted from dredge and fill permitting re-
quirements by Chapter l7-4.04(10)(c). As a result the remainder
of this report will address only the proposed seawall and backfill.
Before the seawall was built the section of the applicant's shore-
line which faced toward Blackwater Sound consisted of a crushed rock
beach with a few widely spaced boulders. On the beach a very sparse
biota could be found. The sparseness of the biota was probably
due to the unstable and exposed nature of the substrate.
The present shoreline is located at approximately the -1 ft. MLW
contour. As a result of the degree of exposure and vertical nature
of the present shoreline, no emergent wetland flora (eg. mangroves)
exist or is likely to eventially establish itself.
The lower reaches of the
composed of Acetabularia
mentous bluegreen algae.
itself on the seawall as
seawall have been colonized by a flora
sp., Dasya sp., Batophora sp. and fila-
No fauna was observed to have established
of the time of the field inspection.
The baybottom drops off to a depth of 3 or 4 ft. at a distance of
50 ft. from shore. The baybottom within a few feet of the seawall
is vegetated with turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum) and Cuban
shoalweed (Diplanthera wrightii). It is oifficult to tell at this
time, but the evidence suggests that very little of the area filled
was vegetated by seagrass before being filled.
D. The project will permanently remove an estimated 600 sq. ft. of
baybottom and littoral zone from the marine ecosystem. The littoral
zone, because it had not stabilized and established a'climactic
biota, contributed little to the marine ecosystem. The sublittoral
area that has been filled apparently had a more biologically
important contribution to the marine ecosystem in the form of vege-
tation and fauna.
The stabilized shore will allow the establishment of an epifaunal
community typical of such shallow water rocky substrates. The new
biota will, it is believed, be somewhat less than a 1 for I re-
placement for what was lost.

E. If the applicant had applied for a before-the-fact permit, this
inspector would have recommended placing the seawall approximately
5 ft. landward of its present location. It is felt that relocating
the seawall will at this time do more harm than good. Under the
provisions of Chapter 403.161, Florida Statutes, I recommend that
the applicant be fined $500 for filling the waters of, the state
without proper authorization.
