Resolution 365-1981 RESOLUTION NO. 365 -1981 WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, has received an application from Gunnar D. Svalmark 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 to bulkhead his waterfront property shoreline on Key Largo, Monroe County. The proposed bulkheading will consist of a total of 200+ linear feet of concrete-reinforced seawall extending between-the +1.0 and -1.5 ft. (MHW) elevations along both the property's Atlantic Ocean (66~ In. ft.) and canal front (135~ In. ft.) shorelines. The proposed seawall will match the height, thickness and shoreline contour of two existing seawalls on adja- cent properties. In addition, said seawall constructed will require the deposition of approximately 20 cu. yds. of "clean, coral rock" backfill materials to match the existing upland property elevation. The applicant's property is located within the Sunrise Point Sub- division (S.P.S.) in southeastern Key Largo, Monroe County. S.P.S. consists of a small (26 acre), single family residence (S.F.R.), waterfront community on the Atlantic Ocean side of Key Largo. S.F.R. "waterfront" within this community is provided by a series of three, 1,000+ ft. long by 50+ ft. wide deadend finger canals and one, 250+ ft. long by 25+ ft. wide canal all of which are connected to-a series of shoreline peripheral canals providing access to the Atlantic Ocean. Atlantic Ocean waters in this area are Class III (Sect. 17-3.081; FAC). Approximately half of the available properties within this subdivision are presently developed with many additional residences observed to be under construction at the time of inspection. The majority of the existing S.F.R's are equipped with some type of boat mooring (ie, docks, basins) and/or launching facilities (ie, ramps, davits). The applicant's property consists of an average-size rectangular, residential lot bordered to the south and northwest by similar residential properties, to the northeast by an unnamed, artifi- cially created, deadend finger canal and to the southeast by a peri- pheral channel to the Atlantic Ocean. Both of the adjacent residen- tial properties are developed with existing two-story S.F.R's (and associative facilities) and, as a result, are presently vegetated by largely landscaped flora. As mentioned in the application, both of these properties are presently equipped with concrete seawall bulkheads/docks similar to that proposed here. The applicant's upland property, although presently undeveloped, is somewhat dis- turbed. Most of the central property areas have been cleared of vegetation to provide storage space for several pieces of heavy construction equipment (ie, backhoe w/flatbed). As a result, there is presently little significant remaining upland vegetation. The predominant substrate in this area is Key Largo oolitic limestone. The proposed project area consists of the applicant's shoreline property and adjacent transitional and submergent lands. Property transitional areas presently consist of a 20-30 ft. wide fringe growth along both the existing canalfront and oceanfront shorelines. Vegetation observed in these areas included sea daisy (Borrichia spp.), purslane (Sesuvium spp.), blite (Suaeda spp.), glasswort (Salicornia spp.), buttonwood (Conocarpus spp.) and small red Resolution Gunnar D. Svalmark Seawall Page Two (Rhizophora spp.) and black (Avicennia spp.) fringing mangroves. Although apparently stable at present, the gradually sloping shore- line grade observed throughout the project area suggest that some erosion has occurred along this property shoreline. Isolated coral rock boulders along Atlantic Ocean/peripheral channel property shoreline areas suggest that some type of riprap revetment once existed in this area. The adjacent unnamed artificial canal is 75 ft. wide by 1,000 ft. long (deadenc finger orientation) by 10! ft. deep (MLW). Submergent vegetation observed in this area consisted of green and brown algal patches along the upper portions of the canal walls and in adjacent littoral areas. Water quality within said canal appeared good at the time of inspection. The Atlantic Ocean (southwestern) property shoreline is presently bordered by a 60~ ft. wide by 1,000~ ft. long (parallel to shoreline) by 8-10 ft. deep (MLW: varies) artificia1ly- created peripheral channel. This channel is protected on its entire waterward (ocean) periphery by a boulder riprap breakwater. Ocean access from said channel is presently available via access channel cuts existing at each channel end. Channel biota observed included the algal species listed above and several unidentified species of juvenile fish. Water quality within this channel area appeared excellent. The primary direct project impact will be in the removal and loss of approximately 5,000 sq. ft. of transitional and wetlands vegetation presently growing within the proposed seawall and back fill constru- tion areas. This vegetation presently provides shoreline stabili- zation, storm runoff filtration and detrital nourishment for the enhancement of both the adjacent upland and submergent marine ecosystems. Indirect project effects include elevated turbidity levels within state waters during project construction activities and the loss of an unspecified amount of presently valuable littoral microhibitat area through long term seawall bottom-scouring effects. Under the provisions of Chapters 253, 123, 253.124, 403.087 of the Florida Statutes and Sections 17-3.121 (28) and 17-4.07 of the Florida Administrative Code, I hereby recommend that this applica- tion for permit be denied Departmental approval unless one of the following alternative suggestions can be incorporated into the overall project design: 1. Specification that 1imerock boulder riprap (2~ ft. diameter) be placed along the toe of said seawall structure approxima- ting a 1:1 slope (ie, 45 degree angle). OR: 2. Specification that a meandering (ie, following contours of existing shoreline), large diameter (3 to 1 ft.), boulder riprap revetment with filter sand retainer material be substituted for said seawall structure. Retainer material will be placed both beneath and behind said revetment structure. The revetment structure's waterward face will approximate a 1:1 slope. The latter alternative (riprap revetment) provides the additional benefits of reduced cost, additional microhabitat surface area and a more natural appearnace. In addition, it is recommended that the following construction pro- cedures be utilized in the interest of preserving state water quality. Resolution Gunnar D. Svalmark Seawall Page Three 1. Turbidity curtains be utilized during seawall/revetment construction (placement) activities. 2. Backfill materials be deposited to form a reverse slope away from said bulkhead structure to prevent excessive upland storm runoff. 3. No fuel or fuel products be stored upon said bulkhead facility. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OD 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 Borad of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, this day or 19 at a regularly scheduled meeting.

Approximately half of the available properties within this subdivision are presently developed with TIlany additional residences observed to be under construc~ion at the time of inspection, The majority of the existing S.F.R's are equi??ed with some type of boat mooring (ie, docks, basins) and/or launching facilities (ie, ramps, davits). The applicant's property consists of an average-size rectangular, residential lot bordered to the south and northwest by similar residential ;::>ro-:Jerties. to the nortlleast by an unnaIlled, artificially-- created, deadend finger canal and to the southeast by a peripheral channel to the Atlantic Ocean Doth of the adjacent residential properties are developed with existing two-story S.F.R's (and associative facilities) and, ilS 2 result, are presently vegetated by largely landscaped flora, As mentioned in the a9plication, both of these ~)roperties are ryrCscllt 1'7 cqui'lT)ed \\7ith concrete sec\'Jall bullcheads! docks s imi lar to cha l 'Jro11osed here.

The proposed project area consists of the applicant's shoreline property and adjacent transitional and subm~rgent lands. Property transitional areas presently consist of a 20-30 ft, wide fringe growth along both the existing canalfront and oceanfront shorelines Vegetation observed in these areas included sea daisy (Borrichia spp.), purslane (Sesuvium Spy ). blite (Suaeda spp.), glasswort (~alicornia SP?,), buttom'lOod (Cono~us spp,) and small red (Rhizophora spp.) and black (Avicennia spp.) fringing mangroves. Although ap?arently stable at present, the gradually sloping shore- line grade observed throughout the project area suggests that some erosion has occurred along this property shoreline. Isolated coral rock boulders along Atlantic Ocean/peripheral channel property shoreline areas suggest that some type of riprap revetment once existed in this area. The adjacent unnaoed artificial canal is 75 ft. wide by 1,000 ft. long (deadend finger orientation) by 10~ ft, deep (l1LH). Submergent vegetation observed in this area consisted of green and brown algal patches along the upper portions of the canal walls and in adjacent littoral areas. Hater quality '\vithin said canal appeared good at the time of inspection. The Atlantic Ocean (south'\vestern) uroperty shoreline is presently bordered by a 60+ ft. wide by 1,000+ ft. long (parallel to shoreline) by 3-10 ft, deep (I1LH; varies) artlficially- created peripheral channel This channel is ~rotected on its entire waterward (ocean) periphery by a boulder riprap break'\vater. Ocean access from said channel is nresentlv available via access channel cuts existing at each channel end. Channel biota observed included the algal species listed above and several unidentified species of juvenile fish. Hater quality Hi thin this channel area appeared excellent. D. The pr~mary dire~t project impact llill be in the removal and loss of approxlmately ~.,-,OO.sq: ft,- of transitional and wetlands vegetation p~esently growlng wlthln tne proposed seawall and backfill constru- tlO~ areas. This vegetation presently orovides shoreline stabili- zatlon, storm runoff filtration and detrital nourishment for the enhancement of both the adjacent upland and submergent marine ecosystems.

Under the provisions of Chanters 253.123, 2S3.124, 403.087 of the Florida Statutes and Sectio~s 17-3.121(28) and 17-4.07 of the Florida Administrative Code, I hereby recommend that this applica- tion for permit be denied Departmental approval unless one of the follo\ving alternative suggestions can be incorporated into the overall project design: '~ _~ I, Specification that lirnerock boulder riprap (2~ ft. diameter) be placed along the toe of said seawall structure approximating a l:l slope (ie, 45 degree angle). OR: 2. Specification that a meandering (ie, following contours of exis- ting shoreline), large diameter (3 to I ft.), boulder riprap revetment 'vith filter sand retainer material be substituted for said seawall structure. Retainer material will be nlaced both beneath and behind said revetment structure. The r~vetment structure's waterward face will approximate a l:l slope. The latter alternative (riprap revetment) provides the additional benefits of reduced cost, additional microhabitat surface area and a more natural appearance, In addition, it is recommended that the following construction pro= cedures be utilized in the interest of preserving state water quality: 1. TU1:bidity curtains be utilized during seawall/revetment con- struction (placement) activities. . 2. Backfill materials be deposited to form a reverse slope away from SQid bulkhead structure to prevent excessive upland storm runoff. 3. No fuel or fuel products be stored upon said bulkhead facilitv.
