- 1982
WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY,
FLORIDA, has received an application from Stephen S. Strunk
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 is proposing the placement of approximately 18
cubic yards of riprap at the base of an existing seawall. A
360 square foot dock would be constructed waterward of the seawall
and connected to the seawall.
The riprap boulders placed would be approximately two feet in
diameter. Dock pilings (wood or concrete) would be augered by
a drill rig operating from a barge.
The applicant's property is located on the eastern shoreline of
Raccoon Key, in a subdivision referred to as Key Haven. The
shoreline here abuts open water adjacent to Boca Chica Channel
which connects the Gulf of Mexico with the Atlantic.
Water depths in this general area range from 2 to 5 feet MLW.
Benthic flora is primarily in the form of algaes, with scattered
seagrasses. Sediments are coarse and shallow with some rocky
outcrops.
More specific to the applicant's property, the shoreline to either
side of said property is bulkheaded, as are most of the properties
in the immediate area. The bulkhead line here is fairly uniform,
with water depths of approximately -2 feet MLW at the base of the
bulkheads.
Several docks were observed along this shoreline, extending from
seawalls, which are the predominant form of shoreline stabilization.
The project site shoreline displays a vertical, concrete bulkhead
with basal water depths of about -2 feet MLW. The benthic com-
munity within the first several feet of the seawall (where riprap
would be placed) is composed of a variety of red, green and brown
algaes (Halimeda sp. was dominant), along with several species of
sponges.
Further waterward, turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum) becomes more
apparent, in combination with shoalgrass (Holodule wrightii) .
Fish species observed included barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) ,
snapper (Lutjanus sp.), and porgies (Calamus sp.).
Miscellaneous debris is scattered over the nearby offshore waters.
Wind/wave energies here are light to moderate. Water quality of
the offshore waters is good.
Impacts anticipated are minimal.
Under the provisions of Chapters 253 and 403 of the Florida Statutes
and Chapters 17-3 and 17-4 of the Florida Administrative Code,
approval is recommended.
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
20th day of September , 19 82 at a regularly scheduled
meeting.

Introduction:
This application is to be reviewed by the Monroe County Board of
Commissioners in accordance with Chapter 19-111(a) (5) of the Monroe
County Code; fill below the mean high water line.
Discussion:
The applicant proposes to place 15-18 cubic yards of rip-rap at
the base of an existing, 90 ft. long seawall that abuts the Gulf
of Mexico.
In addition, a 30 ft. long by 6 ft. wide wooden dock, extending
from the seawall, is also proposed. The dock will include a 30
ft. long by 6 ft. wide extent ion at its terminal end and will run
parallel to the shoreline. It should be noted that at the present
time, a principal structure is not located on the site, so the
construction of the dock will be subject to the provisions of
Section 19-132.1 of the County Code; "No accessory building or
structure of any kind shall be constructed on any property in the
unincorporated areas of Monroe County until and unless the~e is first
constructed the principal building on the property". The dock,
however, is not the subject of this report.

The attached Departm~nt of Environmental Regulation report discusses
this project in greater detail and should be read for additional
information.
Evaluation:
The placement of rip-rap at the base of the seawall is not expected
to cause any long-term adverse environmental impacts.
Recommendation:
Approval to place rip-rap along the base of the existing seawall.

Dear Bob:
RE: Stephen S. Strunk; Key Haven
In re{erence to your letter of July 7, 1982, enclosed is the biological
report from the FDER.
We wish to have only one application, to prevent any confusion with
this project. We have applied under one application, and what we
would prefer is that you send us a letter explaining that the rip-rap
can be installed, and once Mr. Strunk receives his building permit,
he may then apply for his dock permit.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Please have the
-biological report read into the next scheduled County Commission
meeting minutes.
Sincerely,

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.
