Resolution 168-1982
RESOLUTION NO, 168
- 1982
WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY,
FLORIDA, has received an application from RICHARD A, SARVER, JR.,
~d
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 sea-
wall and a dock along an open water residential shoreline.
The riprap to be placed consists of 70 cubic yards, including
limerock backfill, Of this amount, 50 cubic yards would be placed
landward of MEW and 20 cubic yards would be placed waterward, The
backfill would tie in with the existing upland lot grade. The rip-
rap would extend waterward to the MLW line,
The dock would be wooden on pilings and would extend from the
waterward extent of the riprap out to the offshore perimeter chan-
nel dropoff, The dock would be six feet wide and 30 feet long,
connected to shore by a 6' x 6' access walk.
Total length of the riprap revetment would be 60' (width of the
applicant's lot), The actual width of the riprap would be six feet,
The backfill would be covered by a cement slab, Riprap would consist
of 1'-2' diameter boulders, with the larger boulders placed to the
outside,
The project site is located on the southeastern side of Little Torch
Key, adjacent to Newfound Harbor Channel (also referred to as Pine
Channel). This channel separates Big Pine Key and Little Torch Key,
Depths on the Atlantic or southern portion of this channel reach
ten feet, with a gradual decrease in depth toward either channel
shoreline, Water quality within this water body is excellent.
More specific to the project site is the open water shoreline in
Jolly Roger Estates subdivision, which displays a deep peripheral
channel immediately offshore and a previously filled shoreline which
has eroded somewhat (nearly all of this erosion is believed to have
occurred over a short period of time following dredge and spoil
activities when the shoreline was unstable), Consequently, a sub-
tidal/intertidal shoreline shelf exists waterward of the erosion
line and landward of the peripheral channel, Of this shelf area,
the waterward 5-15 feet is permanently submergent, displaying lush
seagrasses, algaes, corals and sponges.
The peripheral channel is estimated to be 50'-70' wide. Adjacent
properties display a variety of seawalls, riprap revetments and docks.
Recent shoreline projects here (there have been four or five permits
issued in this area for shoreline projects in the last several years)
have been limited to the MLW line or landward,
The applicant's property is 60' wide, bordered to either side by
presently undeveloped lots, The shoreline shelf waterward of the
erosion line displays loose limerock rubble,
The existing lot elevation landward of the erosion line appears to
be on the order of several feet above MSL. Several buttonwoods
(Conocarpus erecta) are found along the erosion line, although there
is no established fringe.
The shoreline shelf here is 20'-30' in width, of which 15'-20' is
intertidal on extreme high and low tides, Approximately 5'-10' of
this shelf is permanently submerged, with a dominant benthic growth
of turtlegrass (Thalassiatestudinum),
The intertidal area is essentially void of macrophytic growth,
although a large population of gastropods (Cerithidea sp" Batillari
sp" and Astraea sp,) utilize the area for grazing purposes,
Anticipated impacts from this project are not expected to be adverse
in terms of water quality degradation or biological destruction. As
proposed, this project will stabilize the shoreline while avoiding
established benthic communities,
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 28th

INTRODUCTION

This application is to be reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners
in accordance with Chapter 19-111 (a)(5) of the Monroe County Code.
Discussion:
The applicant proposes the following activities on his property which
abuts Pine Channel:
1) Placement of 200 cubic yards of limerock fill on
previously filled upland for a house pad.
2) Place 70 cubic yards of rip-rap and limerock fill
along the MLW line in order to construct a 60+ ft.
seawall; a "slab" will be constructed over the land-
ward edge of the rip-rap,
3) A wooden dock, 30 ft. long x 6 ft. wide with a 6 ft.
x 6 ft. access walk is also proposed. The waterward
edge of the dock will parallel an offshore peripheral
channe 1 .
At the time of my onsite inspection (February 1, 1982) a principal structure
had not been constructed on the property (see Chapter 19-132,1 of the
Monroe County Code).
The attached Department of Environmental Regulation Report discusses this
project in greater detail and should be read for additional information.
Evaluation:
No adverse or long term environmental impacts are expected
as a result of this project.
Recommendation:
Approval with the condition that the applicant use filter fabric
with the rip-rap to control erosion of the backfill.
