Resolution 122-1982RESOLUTION NO. 122 =1982
WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY,
FLORIDA, has received an application from
an d
WALTER PERETZ ,
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 is proposing the construction of a riprap revetment
along an open water shoreline, 320 feet in length and five feet in
width. Total cubic yardage is estimated to be 120 waterward of
MHW and 9 landward of MHW. The purpose of the riprap revetment
is to provide shoreline protection and stabilization. A mobile
crane will place the rock material, which will be delivered to
the site by truck.
Also applied for is the construction of a bulkhead along an adja-
cent canal shoreline. This bulkhead is 90 feet long and will pro-
vide private boat mooring for the applicant.
The project site is located within Sugarloaf Shores Subdivision, a
waterfront residential community bordering Lower Sugarloaf Sound,
which is, in turn, bordered on all sides by Sugarloaf Key. Lower
Sugarloaf Sound is a shallow expanse of water which opens, by way
of narrow, naturally occurring channels, into the Atlantic to the
south and the Gulf to the north.
Sugarloaf Shores Subdivision was artificially created by dredging
and spoiling, forming what is now a series of dead-end canals,
all connected at their basal ends by a peripheral channel.
This channel and its associated canals were boxcut to deep, undeter-
mined depths. The recreated shorelines here consist of loose lime-
stone and marl, overlying the original Miami oolite subsurface.
Water quality offshore is good, although transparency tends to
suffer during water turbulence due to a somewhat unconsolidated
benthos consisting of finely textured inorganic silts overlying
the basal subsurface. Seagrasses and algae cover most of the
bottom, but tend to be somewhat patchy.
More specific to the applicant's property, which apparently in-
cludes both of the open water lots at the end of Bonefish Lane
West, the lots further back have been bulkheaded, in large part,
where housing development has occurred (lots are 10-30 percent
developed in this area). The applicant's own lot (lot 104) has
already been bulkheaded along its canal frontage. This lot, as
well as lot 103, belonging to the applicant, is approximately 100
feet deep and 150 feet wide.
The applicant's property is primarily upland, dropping sharply
at the erosion line to form a 10 foot wide intertidal and sub -
tidal littoral shelf before.dropping to the depths of an offshore
perimeter channel.
Lot 104 is presently being built on. Lot 103 is basically void
of any development or significant upland vegetation.

Erosion has occurred on all of the shorelines, although somewhat
less on the canal shorelines. Relatively speaking, however,
erosion has not been severe and permanently established marine
communities are found below the approximate mean low water (AMLW)
line. Green algaes were the dominant benthic macrophyte here.
These algaes inclued Batophora sp., Halimeda sp., and scattered
Penicillus'sp. Also observed here were turtle grasses (Thallasia
testudinum),.although total cover by this species amounts to less
than 10 percent of the total submergent shelf area.
Also observed slightly below AMLW were fire sponges (Tedania ignia),
several species of coral (Porites sp.) and a large banded tulip
snail (Fasciolaria hunteria). Fish species found here included
barracuda (Sphyranea barracuda), mojarra, and silversides (Membras
sp.).
In the upper reaches of the offshore peripheral channel. turtle -
grasses were observed, however, a complete view of the channel bottom
was not possible.
The AMLW line is found about midway.between the channel dropoff and
the erosion line (five feet -from the dropoff). Above this line,
the intertidal zone is composed of loose limerock rubble with little
vegetation, although mangrove growth could potentially establish
itself here over a long period of time.
Impacts associated with this project should be relatively insigni-
ficant. As proposed, this project should stabilize this shoreline,
thus preventing erosion and consequential turbidity and sedimentation
over adjacent areas.
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

A. The applicant is proposing the construction of a riprap revetment
along an open water shoreline, 320 feet in length and five feet in
width. Total cubic yardage is estimated to be 120 waterward of
MHW and 9 landward of MHW. The purpose of the riprap revetment
is to provide shoreline protection and stabilization. A mobile
crane will place the rock material, which will be delivered to
the site by truck.
Also applied for is the construction of a bulkhead along an
adjacent canal shoreline. This bulkhead is 90 feet long and will
provide private boat mooring for the applicant.
B. The project site is located within Sugarloaf Shores Subdivision, a
waterfront residential community bordering Lower Sugarloaf Sound,
which is, in turn, bordered on all sides by Sugarloaf Key. Lower
Sugarloaf Sound is a shallow expanse of water which opens, by way
of narrow, naturally occurring channels, into the Atlantic to the
south and the Gulf to the north.
Sugarloaf Shores Subdivision was artificially created by dredging
and spoiling, forming what is now a series of dead-end canals,
all connected at their basal ends by a peripheral channel
This channel and its associated canals were boxcut to deep,
undetermined depths. The recreated shorelines here consist of loose
limestone and mar!, overlying the original Miami ooiite subsurface.
Water quality offshore is good, although transparency tends to
suffer during water turbulence due to a somewhat unconsolidated
benthos consisting of finely textured inorganic silts overlying
the basal subsurface. Seagrasses and algae cover most of the
bottom, but tend to be somewhat patchy.
More specific to the applicant's property, which apparently
includes both of the open water lots at the end of Bonefish Lane
West, the lots further back have been bulkheaded, in large part,
where housing development has occurred (lots are 10-30 percent
developed in this area). The applicant's own lot (lot 104) has
already been bulkheaded along its canal frontage. This lot, as
well as lot 103, belonging to the applicant, is approximately
100 feet deep and 150 feet wide.
C. The applicant's property is primarily upland, dropping sharply
at the erosion line to form a 10 foot wide intertidal and sub -
tidal littoral shelf before dropping to the depths of an off-
shore perimeter channel.

Lot 104is presently being built on. Lot 103 is basically void

Erosion has occurred on all of the shorelines, although somewhat
lesson the canal shorelines. Relatively speaking, however,
erosion has not been severe and permanently established marine
communities are found below the approximate mean low water (AMLW)
line. Green algaes were the dominant benthic macrophyte here.
These algaes included Batophora sp., Halimeda sp., and scattered
Penicillus sp. Also observed here wereturtle grasses (Thallasia
testudinum), although total cover by this species amounts to less
than 10 percent of the total submergent shelf area.
Also observed slightly below AMLW were fire sponges (Tedania ignis),
several species of coral (Porites sp.), and a large banded tulip
snail (Fasciolaria hunteria . Fish species found here included
barracuda TSphyraena barracuda), mojarra, and silversides (Membras
Sp.).
In the upper reaches of the offshore peripheral channel, turtlegrasse;
were observed, however, a,complete view of the channel bottom was
not possible.
The AMLW line is found about midway between the channel dropoff
and the erosion line (five feet from the dropoff). Above this line,
the intertidal zone is composed of loose limerock rubble with little
vegetation, although mangrove growth could potentially establish
---itself here over a long period of time.
D. Impacts associated with this project should be relatively
insignificant. As proposed, this project should stabilize this
shoreline, thus preventing erosion and consequential turbidity
and sedimentation over adjacent areas.
