Resolution 094-1979
RESOLUTION 4f 94-1979
WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS of MONROE County,
Florida, approved an application for Frank Stavola on December 20,
1977, for placing an 8" x 12" high concrete footing on rock substrate
at the edge of an existing channel, and
~mEREAS, the Department of Environmental Regulation pursuant to
Section 253.124, Florida Statutes, requires that before a State Permit
can be issued that a biological assessment made by DER be read into
the Minutes of the County Commission.
Now, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the following biological
assessment be read into the Minutes of the County Commission and approved
by that same body.
Placing an 8" x 12" high concrete footing on rock substrate at the
edge of an existing channel. An 8" concrete block will be placed on the
footing to form a wall approximately 3' high and 148.26' long. The
project will be below the present MHW line.
This project is located in Sugar10af Shores, a residential
subdivision with many canals and a perimeter access channel. Substrate
throughout much of the area is 1imerock fill from canal dredging,
deposited on bedrock. Vegetation is primarily Austrai1ian pine
(Casurina equisetifo1ia), scrub buttonwood (Conocarpus erecta), and
grasses and forbs characteristic of disturbed land. Development is less
than 10%. The subject property is situated at a corner lot on Lower
Sugar10af Sound and a man-made canal.
Uplands in the project site have been cleared, filled, a home
constructed, and are devoid of vegetation. A concrete Rock seawall and
boat ramp have been constructed on the man-made canal side of the
property. The shoreline along Lower Sugar10af Sound appears eroded and
scoured, creating a barren rock rubble shoreline. Intertidal vegetation
was absent. Subtidal vegetation was limited to scattered green algae,
Batophora ~., out to the edge of the channel cut.
Due to the present unstable nature of the shoreline and the lack
of biota in the project site, there will be no adverse impact from the
proj ect.
BE IT FURTHER 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.
RESOLVED this
8
day of May
