Range 29, on Big Pine Key, and
WHEREAS, Section 253.124, Florida Statutes, requires that a
biological assessment be read into the records, now therefore
BE IT RESOLVED that the following Biological Assessment be
read and made a part of the Minutes of the County Commissioners
Meeting.
The applicant proposes repa~r~ng 160 linear feet of riprap
revetment recovering the lost riprap from the adjacent access channel.
Fifty(50)cubic yards of fill would be placed waterward of MHW behind
rip-rap repair to restore uplands. Fill and riprap will be placed
by clamshell. Also, proposed is a private dock waterward of a red
mangrove fringe. (Rhizophora ~an~le) There would be a 5 ft. wide by
24 ft. long access pier throug t e mangroves to a 77 ft, long by 5 ft.
wide "T" dock. The pier would be wood deck on concrete filled PVC
pipe piles set in augered holes.
There are single-family residences on deep lots along the water-
front to Spanish Harbor Channel. Between these lots and U.S. #1 is a
tract of undeveloped land. The applicant's property is bordered by a
canal on the south and a channel on the east. The channel on the east
is protected by a rock breakwater.
There are two(2) separate locations of work in the proposed
project. The pier will be located in a small indentation of the
shoreline on an upland canal. A dense red mangrove fringe lines the
shoreline of the indentation and the canal has a vertical concrete
seawall west of the pier site. As proposed, the pier will not extend
beyond a projected straight line of the seawall. Bottom substrate in
the proposed pier location is an accumulation of silt and organic
litter.
The proposed rip-rap repair site is an eroding sand, marl, and
rock rubble embankment. There were scattered scrub buttonwood
(Conocarpuserecta) along the bank; the intertidal and subtidal zone
unvegetated. Subtidally, there was an accumulation of organic detritus.
There ~vill be no long-term nor short-term biological impact from this
project, therefore
Under the provisions of Section 253.124, Florida Statutes, this
report shall be read into the record and duly considered at the same
meeting at which the Board of County Commissioners or other authorized
body takes final action on the application for local approval. Proof
of local approval must be furnished this office before processing can
be concluded.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Commission of the County
of MONROE, Florida, does hereby approve and accept the biological
assessment on the above mentioned project.
