RESOLUTI ON NO. 348
-1981
WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA,
has received an application from
ROLAND LIZ
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 the construction of a 26' long concrete seawall and the
placement of riprap to either side to provide a base for boat davits and to
prevent land erosion, respectively.
The concrete seawall would be constructed waterward of MLH .. to the edge of
the offshore perimeter channel. The length of this seawall section would be
26 feet, with a width of 8 feet. Seven cubic yards of fill would be placed
landward of r1HW for the seawall. with 18 cubic placed waterward. Construction
of the seawall would consist of concrete block laid on top of concrete footing
and nlastered over.
The riprap placed south of the proposed conrete seawall would extend no further
waterward than the ~1LW line. The width of this riprap line would be five feet.
The length of this riprap section would be 60 feet.
The riprap placed north of the proposed concrete seawall would extend to within
one foot of the edge of the offshore perimeter channel. Filter cloth would be
used behind the riprap where backfill would be placed. Riprap to either side
of the seawall would be aoproximately two feet in diameter. The total amount of
riprap to be placed would be approximately 33 cubic yards waterward of MHW,
and 15 cubic yards landward of MHW.
The project site is located within the Sugarloaf Shores subdivision of ~ugarloaf
Key, This area has been developed for residential homesites and is bordered
along its entire perimeter by a deep channel which connects a network of inland
residential canals. The entire area is approximately 10-30 percent developed.
Most homesites have been seawalled along their shorelines.
The entire area of uplands was most likely created from submergent and/or wet-
land areas by spoiling the dredge material from the canals and channels that
now exist, The waters of Lower Sugarloaf Sound, which are encountered offshore
from the aDplicants's property, are shallow (..I" to -2" MU!), \A/ith patchy sea-
grass and algal communities. Lower Sugarloaf Sound is, in general a large,
sha 11 0\11 expans-e of semi ..impounded water with fai r to good water qua 1 ity and
occasionally high turbidity levels (during windy oeriods which agitate the rela..
tively fine-textured sediments found throughout).
More specific to the applicant's property, two seawalls have been constructed;
one'on adjacent lot 24 and another several lots to the south. These seawalls
were constructed out to the peripheral channel dropoff. No records of any recent
permits were located for these seawalls.
The applicant's property is primarily upland. It is presently undeveloped and
exhibits a 100' long shoreline which has eroded very little as judged from the
narrow intertidal zone and the established submergent marine community that is
found just waterward of the shoreline escarpment line.
This shoreline, from the upland escarpment line down to the MLW line, exhibits
a loose limerock rubble substrate with little of no wetland veqetation. Some
buttonwood (Conocarpus erecta) are found just upland from where the property
drops vertically to the intertidal area (escarpment line).

The most bioloigcally significant area within the project site is found from
the approximate MLW line to the offshore channel drip. Turtlegrass (Thalassia
testutinum) if found along the entire stretch of the project site, with growth
ranging from patchy to dense. Additional but lesser amounts of green algaes
were also observed, including Halimeda sp., Batophora sp., and Acetabularia sp..
Numerous sessile filter-feeders were common along the submergent shelf of this
site and included anemones, sponges, and hard corals (Porites porites). Fish
species here included mojarra, killifish (Cyprinodon sp.), and mangrove snapper
(Lutjanus riseus). During the on-site inspection, a little blue heron(Florida
caerulea was observed feeding along the shoreline.
The submergent shelf below the MLW line is approximately 5" -7" wide. The off-
shore channel into which the shelf drops is approximately 60' -901 wide.
The primary impact of concern is the elimination through filling of an offshore
submergent marine community. This loss has been reduced by the applicant by
75 percent (from the original application and will now be approximately 100
square feet.
To offset this loss, additional habitat would be created along the 75 feet of
shoreline to be riprapped. The newly created riprap would stabilize this
shoreline and provide habitat for crustaceans, gastropods, and, in the case of
the permanently submergent riprap, algaes, sponges and fish.
Pursuant to Chapter 253 and 403 of the Florida Statutes and Chapters 17-3 and
17-4 of the Florida Administrative Code, I would now recommend the approval
of this project.
The following conditions are suggested as part of any permit issuance:
1. Backfilling should be done after the installation of the riprap and
filter cloth. If this is not possible, turbidity curtains should be
utilized during all filling operations.
2. The riprap to the south of the concrete seawall shall not ext~nd further
waterward than the submergent vegetation line.
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
1st
day of np~pmhpr ,

at a regularly scheduled metting.

INTRODUCTION:
This project is to be rev~ewed by the Monroe County Board
of Commissioners in accordance with Chapter 19-1ll(a) (5) of the
County Code.
DISCUSSION:
Applicant proposes to construct a 100 linear ft. seawall along
his waterfront property abutting Lower Sugarloaf Sound.
Seventy-five (75) ft. of the seawall will be composed of rip-rap
boulders placed along the }~W line; a 26 ft. long vertical, ,
concrete section will complete the seawall. This latter section
of the seawall will extend out beyond the ML'~ line to the landward
edge of the peripheral channel and will support boat davits.
According to the Dept. of Environ. Reg. report, approximately
33 c.y. of rip-rap will be required waterward of MEW and another
15 c.y. landward of MEW. In places where backfilling will be
required, ,filter fabric will be used.
A discussion of the biota present and a description of the
area to be impacted is provided. in the attached Dept. Environ.
Reg. report.
EVALUATION:
Approval with the condition that the seawall will join and
align with the existing seawall of the applicant's neighbor.

A, The applicant proposes the construction of a 26' long concrete
seawall and the placement of riprap to either side to provide
a base for boat davits and to prevent land erosion, respectively.
The concrete seawall would be constructed waterward of MLW - to
the edge of the offshore perimeter channel. The length of this
seawall section would be 26 feet, with a width of 8 feet. Seven
cubic yards of fill would be placed landward of MEW for the
seawall, with 18 cubic yards placed waterward. Construction of
the seawall would consist of concrete block laid on top of
concrete footing and plastered over.
Tl'Je riprap placed south of the proposed concrete seawall would
extend no further waterward than the MLW line. The width of this
riprap line would be five feet. The length of this riprap section
would be 60 feet.
The riprap placed north of the proposed concrete seawall would
extend to within one foot of the edge of the offshore perimeter
channel. Filter cloth would be used behind the riprap where
backfill would be placed. Riprap to either side of the seawall
would be approximately two feet in diameter. The total amount of
riprap to be placed would be approximate11 33 cubic yards water-
ward of MHW and 15 cubic yards landward of MHW.
B. The project site is located within the Sugarloaf Shores subdivi-
sion of Sugarloaf Key. This area has been developed for resi=
dential homesites and is bordered along its entire perimeter by
a deep channel which connects a network of inland residential
canals. The entire area is approximately 10-30 percent developed.
Most homesites have been seawa11ed along their shorelines.
This entire area of uplands was most likely created from submergent.
and/or wetland areas by spoiling the dredge material from the canal~
and channels that now exist. The waters of Lower Sugarloaf Sound,
which are encountered offshore from the applicant's property, are
shallow (-1' to -2' }~W), with patchy seagrass and algal cOmD1unities.
Lower Sugarloaf Sound is, in general, a large, shallow expanse of
semi-impounded water with fair to good water quality and occasionall~
high turbidity levels (during windy periods which agitate the
relatively fine-textured sediments found throughout).
llore specific to the applicant's property, two seawalls have been
constructed; one on adjacent lot 24 and another several lots to
the south. These seawalls \-Jere constructed out to the peripheral

channel dropoff. No records of any recent permits were located
for these seawalls.
C. The applicant's property is primarily upland. It is presently
undeveloped and exhibits a 100' long shoreline which has eroded
very little as judged from the narrow intertidal zone and the
established submergent marine community that is found just water-
ward of the shoreline escarpment line.
. .
This shoreline, from the upland escarpment line down to the MLW
line, exhibits a loose limerock rubble substrate with little or
no wetland vegetation. Some buttonwoods (Conocarpus erecta) are
found just upland from where the property drops vertically to the
intertidal area (escarpment line).
The most biologically significant area within the project Site is
found from the approximate MLW line to the offshore channel drop.
Turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum) is found along the entire
stretch of the project site, with growth ranging from patchy to
dense. Additional but lesser amounts of green algaes were also
observed, including Halimeda sp., Batophora sp., and Acetabularia
sp. . ~
Numerous sessile filter-feeders were common along the submergent
shelf of this site and included anemones, sponges, and hard corals
(Porites porites). Fish species here included mojarra, killifish
(Cyprinodon sp.), and mangrove snapper (Lutjanus griseus). During
the on-site inspection, a little blue heron (Florida faerulea) was
observe~ feeding along the shoreline.
The submergent shelf below the MLW line is approximately 5 '. -7 I wide.
The offshore channel into which the shelf drops is approximately
60'-90' wide.
D. The primary impact of concern is the elimination through filling of
an offshore submergent marine community. This loss has been re-
duced by the applicant by 75 percent (from the original application)
and will now be approximately 100 square feet.
To offset this loss, additional habitat would be created alo~g the
75 feet of shoreline to be riprapped. The newly created riprap
would stabilize this shoreline and provide habitat for crustaceans,
gastropods, and, in the case of the permanently submergent riprap,
algaes, sponges and fish.

E. Pursuant to Chapters 253 and 403 of the Florida Statutes and
Chapters 17-3 and 17-4 of the Florida Administrative Code, I
would now reconunend the approval of this project.
The following conditions are suggested as part of any permit
issuance:
1. Backfilling should be done after the installation of the rip-
rap and filter cloth. If this is not possible, turbidity
curtains should be utilized 'during all filling operations.
2. The riprap to the south of the concrete seawall shall not
extend further waterward than the submergent vegetation line.
