RESOLUTION # 209-1979
WHEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS of MONROE County,
Florida, has received an application from Vincent Brostek to install:
A solid concrete seawall at a distance of 5' out from MHW
and backfill with approximately 70 cubic yards of clean fill. About
50 cubic yards of this fill would be placed below MHW and 20 cubic
yards above MHW. Eroded riprap which is currently located along the
project shoreline would be relocated to the toe and ends of the
seawall. Pilings for the seawall would be placed from a barge and silt
screens would be utilized during construction.
The project site is located in a residential area of heavy
development on a tidal embayment about 1/3 mile from open waters
of the Florida straits. These inshore waters with artificial canals
and navigation channels are heavily iti1ized by boat traffic
especially from marinas in the area. Some nearshore waters are
natural, shallow flats with mixed seagrasses and much of the area
shorelines are altered. Tidal flushing to the east is limited causing
increased levels of turbidity in this embayment relative to adjacent
waters, due to runoff, vessel traffic, wave action, etc.
The project shoreline is located between a concrete seawall about
10' below MHW to the north and a combination riprap and concrete
shoreline to the south. This shore presently contains riprap but
due to erosion and age is somewhat deteriorated. Little vegetation
is attached to the riprap probably due to wave action and levels of
turbidity. Depths slope rapidly from the base of the riprap which
extends out about 5' along most of its length. Depths out from the
riprap slope to about 10' MLW in a nearshore artificial channel and
this slope is rock rubble, silt and essentially unvegetated. The
uplands are old fill and vegetated with grasses, weeds, and upland
trees.
The project will involve placing a concrete seawall along the slope
about at the outer edge of the riprap and relocating the riprap to
the toe of the seawall. Riprap will also be placed at the ends of
the wall, especially on the north end where a slight discontinuity
will remain with the adjacent seawall.
The project, as proposed, will have little short or long-term
impact on local biological resources. It will prevent further
erosion along the shoreline slope, provide deep water access and if
the riprap is properly relocated, it will provide improved and stable
benthic habitat.

WHEREAS, this project has been reviewed and it has been found
there would be no adverse affects from the proposed construction
on the biota and environment, therefore
