Resolution 010-1979
RESOLUTION NO. 10-1979
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County,
Florida, has received an application from Mr. Robert Kihnke to construct:
245 feet of vertical concrete seawall on his corner lot. The
seawall will be located 5-10 feet below the present MHW line. Along the open
water side of the property the seawall would be back from the edge of an existing
access channel and on the Canal side of the property, the seawall would be at
the edge of the vertical canal cut. Flat rocks (old sidewalk slabs) will be
placed and the seawall constructed on these. This will be backfilled with
630 cubic yards of r.pck placed waterward of MHW.
The project is located in Porpoise Point Subdivision. This is
primarily a residential development with numerous, straight, dead-end
canals opening to a natural bay. Substrate is crushed coral rock fill from
canal dredging; this is vegetated primarily by saltbush (Baccharis ~.).
Construction in the area is slight, less than 10% of the lots built on.
The project site is a corner lot with one side on an open natural
body of water and the other side on a man-made canal. The lot has been
filled to approximately +4 feet MSL-with rock and marl. The banks have some
rock rubble on them but fine material is washing out from behind the rubb1e~
The intertidal zone is unvegetated rock rubble. Subtida11y the rocky substrate
was vegetated with dense colonies of Batophora sp. which extended to the edge
of the channel where there was a narrow strip of turtle grass (Tha1assia
testudinum) along the top edge of the channel.
The seawall is to be located at the approximate MLW line, therefore,
there will be negligible effect on the marine community.
BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe
County, Florida, that said Board hereby given its approval for the construction
of the above mentioned project.
