Problem Statement - Background Information
The Florida Keys comprise a very limited land mass. There is an
extremely~igh degree of interdependency between activities on the
islands and impacts on the marine ecosystem. Sustained marine
productivity can thus be viewed as a function of development activity.
Solid waste destruction of shoreline vegetation, use of pesticides
and improper sewage treatment are all potentially harmful to the
marine ecosystem and may increase as development activity increases.
Preliminary, comments received from the Department of Community
Affairs and the South Florida Regional Planning Council indicate
that the current County Comprehensive Plan and development regulations
inadequately address many of the issues of special focus delineated
in the Florida Coastal Management Program final Environmental Impact
Stateraent.
Proposals to implement local comprehensive plans that emphasize
natural resource management are given high priority by the Florida
Coastal Hanagement Program Final Environmental Impact Study (p. II -
272). Category '(b) "Local Implementation of State Policy" and
subcategory (iii) "The development and implementation of local re-
gula~ions for areas designated as areas of Cirtical State Concern
pursuant to Chapter 380 F.S." (p. II-274) apply to this grant pro-
posal. Proposals meeting these criteria are classified as "Priority
1" by the Environmental Impact Statement. (p. II-276)
Since the Florida Keys were designated as an Area of Critical
State Concern, strong emphasis has been placed in making the
existing management tools more effective. This proposal consti-
tutes an important extension of the principles of coastal planning
advocated by the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan. It provides
urgently needed implementation tools to protect the unique Keys
environment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTIO~
Objective
The objective of this proposal is to provide effective development
regulations for the Florida Keys, consistent with the principles of
a revised Monroe County Comprehensive Plan and the Florida Coastal
Management Program Final EnvironmcnLal Impact Statement.
An effective and functional Coastal zone management plan for Monroe
County must accommodate a variety of competing and/or conflicting
interests. These interests include:
1) Scientific criteria for environmental quality.
2) Efficiency and equity criteria for economic and/or
fiscal feasibility.
(Proj~ct Description cont.)
3) ~egal viability and sufficiency.
4) Subjective factors such as a community
desire to remain rural or become more
urban; individual perceptions of conges-
tion/open space, etc.
The February 1982 report of the Florida Keys Resource Planning and
Management Committee (FKRPMC) entitled "An Assessment of the Compre-
hensive Plans and Critical Area Regulations with Reco~~endations"
provides a frame work suitable for i:nplementing the objectives cited
above.
To meet this objective, the Monroe County Planning Department shall
perform the following activities consonant with the Co~~ittee's report:
Committee Issue #1 - Modify the Shoreline Protection
Ordinance to provide greater
specificity (including recom-
mended sections).
Committee Issue #3 - Incorporate the Shoreline
Protection Ordinance into
the Monroe County Compre-
hensive Plan.
Committee Issue #3 - Incorporate all growth manage-
ment and land development con-
trol ordinances into the Monroe
County Comprehensive Plan.
Committee Issue #5 - Develop inter-agency cooperation
and incorporate the Monroe County
Mosquito Control Program into
the Comprehensive Plan.
Committee Issue #6 - Review and incorporate all
applicable sections of the
South Florida Oil Spill
Sensitivity Atlas into the
Monroe County Comprehensive Plan.
Committee Issue #7 - Modify the Land Clearing
(Tree Protection) Ordinance
to provide greater specificity
and stronger enforcement
provisions.
Committee Issue #8 - Revise Management Policy 1.4
of the Coastal Zone Protection
and Conservation Element to
include tropical hardwood
hammocks.
Lpraject Description cont.)
.'
Committee Issue #9 - Update the Services and Utility
Element in regard to:
A) Analysis of the impacts
associated with stormwater
runoff, septic tanks, sewage
treatment facilities and existing
wastewater sludge handling pro-
cedures on the Coastal Zone of
the Florida Keys.
B) Fiscal proposals concerning
estimated costs and priority
ranking relative to other proposed
capital expenditures.
C) Proposed funding sources as
required by Florida Statutes
380.05 and 163.3177(3) should
be updated as appropriate.
This analysis will consider the effect that runoff, discharges and
leachate (from septic fields, package plants and solid waste sites)
have on the biophysical and man-made environment.
TASK DESCRIPTIONS
Task I - Data Acquisition and Preliminary Analysis
(A) Evaluate the Monroe County Services and Utility Element in light
of present needs and problems, including those identified by the
Florida Keys Resource Planning and Management Committee.
This will include a review of current water allocation practices,
solid waste procedures, sanitary sewer systems, surface water
management, the disposal of wastewater sludges and a projection of
future service requirements.
(B) Review pertinent ordinances and data pertaining to "model" shore-
line protection procedures. Evaluate the current Monroe County Shore-
line Protection Ordinance in light of this literature review.
(C) Initiate contacts with the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority,
City Electric, Florida Keys Electric Co-op, Monroe County Mosquito
Control District, all municipalities in Monroe County and any future
special districts or entities in order to establish an effective means
of intergovernmental communication and cooperation.
. .
~asK II - Identification of Alternatives and Ootions
.
(A) Establish alternative methods of meeting projected future
service requirements for solid waste disposal, water distribution
and allocation, sanitary sewage (including wastewater sludges)
and increased quantities of surface water runoff. These alterations
shall include proposals to add or revise regulations pertaining to
the previously mentioned services and utilities.
(B) Develop (alternate) modifications for the Monroe County Shore-
line Protection Ordinance based on Data Acquisition and Preliminary
Analysis performed in Task I.
(C) Develop (alternate) strategies for establishing functional inter-
governmental coordination in conjunction with all affected (applicable)
public and quasi-public entities. These entities include but are
not limited to: The Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority, City Electric
System, Florida Keys Electrical Co-op, Monroe County Mosquito Control
District and all municipalities located within Monroe County.
Task III - Feasibilitv Analysis
(A) Options identified above will be evaluated in terms of their
economic and legal feasibility.
(B) Alternatives will be ranked by criteria established in (III A)
above.
(C) The most viable options will be recommended for adoption and
implementation.
Task IV - Adoption and Implementation
(A) Develop and submit for legal review revised Comprehensive Plan
Element(s), proposed ordinances and ordinance modifications which may
include but are not limited to the following topical areas:
1) Shoreline Protection
2) Land Clearing
3) Potential Zoning Ordinance Revisions
4) Solid Waste
5) Drainage and Stormwater Runoff
6) Septic Tanks and Sanitary Sewers
7) Subdivision Regulation
8) Services and Utility Element
(B) Submit to County Commission for legislative review and adoption.
