Resolution 213-1978
RESOLUTION NO. 213 -1978
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe
County, Florida, has received an application from Mr. and
Mrs. Kenneth Strange to construct 60 linear feet of reinforced
bulkhead with 6' long returns at each end and rip-rap placed at
waterward toe, to restore and maintain shoreline. Crushed coral
fill from an upland source will be placed shoreward of bulkhead.
Fill will be brought to site over existing roads and owner's land
and dumped shoreward of bulkhead. Rip-rap from an upland source
will be placed at toe of bulkhead by mobile crane. (File No. 44-
10045-SE)
The project is located in Jolly Roger Estates on Little
Torch Key. Jolly Roger Estates is a residential subdivision that
has numerous canals and uplands developed by placing spoil from
canal dredging. Substrate throughout the area is crushed rock
over caprock. Vegetation is primarily pioneer grasses and forbs
with an overs tory of Austrai1ian pine (Casurina equisetifo1ia).
Offshore waters are generally shallow with a man-made navigation
channel along the shoreline.
Uplands of the project site are rock rubble fill vegetated
by sea lavender (Limonium caro1inionum), sea oxeye daisy (Borrichia
sp.) and scrub buttonwood (Conocarpus erecta). A home is existing
on the site. There was an intertidal zone of eroded rock rubble
material devoid of vegetation but colonized by many gastropods
(Bati11aria spp.) and a few nerites, and
WHEREAS, the application has been reviewed and it has been
found that the seawall and rip-rap is well within the barron inter-
tidal zone and that there will be no significant biological or water
quality impact, now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that this report be read into the record
as designated by Section 253.124, Florida Statutes.
