Resolution 062-1980
RESOLUTION :fl:_. 62-1980
vlliEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS of MONROE County,
Florida, has received an application from Raymond McCarthy to
construct:
Solid poured concrete bulkhead at MFn? for erosion control and
excavate a boat slip meastrring 20' wide x 35' long x -5' MEW. Riprap
presently along the shoreline will be relocated to the toe of the
seawall to be constructed. Sides of the basin will be precast
concrete slabs. To provide access to the boat slip an area measuring
about 20' wide x 15' long x -5' MHW will be excavated from the bottom
slope in front of the basin. About 17 cubic yards of spoil will be
dredged below MEW and 224 cubic yards landward of MHW for the access
and boat slip. About 45 cubic yards of backfill landward of MHW and
25 cubic yards waterward of MHW will be placed behind the seawall.
All dredge spoil will be deposited on the adjacent uplands and
equipment and materials can be transported to the site over the
uplands. Turbidity screens will be utilized during all excavation.
The project site is located in a residential area on the east side
of Sister's Creek, a major tidal creek between Hawk's Channel and the
Florida Straits to the south and Boot Key Harbor to the north. Uplands
on the east side of Sisters Creek were created many years ago natural
mangrove systems by the dredging and excavation of tidal creeks and
canals.
The opposite shoreline (Boot Key) is a natural red mangrove(Rhizophora
mangle) fringe in an undeveloped area, About 1/3 mile to the south
is the confluence of Sister's Creek and open waters of the Atlantic.
Depths in this creek range to about -10' MLW and are consistently deep
in its center. Usage for navigation is heavy by both commercial and
recreational vessels creating erosion problems on adjacent shorelines.
Pesidentia1 development in the general area is about 10-20% of
developable property.
The site shoreline presently has riprap boulders in place about 5-10'
waterward of MHW that connect with a concrete seawall to the south
and continue in a line to the north. There has been some erosion of
marl fill from behind the line of riprap by wave-wash from passing
vessels. Uplands are old marl fill with little vegetation and several
buttonwoods (Conocarpus erectus) and white mangroves (Laguncu1aria
!acemosa) immediately landward of the riprap.
The intertidal zone on this shoreline occurs primarily along the riprap
and it is essentially unvegetated. Subtidal bottom slopes gradually
in front of the riprap for about 15-20' and drops into the depth of
the channel. Bottom types here are limited to rock rubble, rock
boulders, and marl sediments. Vegetation is limited to the algae
Bata1hora on rock and sediments except for several small patches of
turt e grass (Tha1assia testudinum) with low blade density are un-
vegetated. This lack of vegetation is probably due to severe wave
wash and currents of the area which constantly resuspend sediments.
Fishes observed included Sargeant majors (Abudefduf saxati1is) among
the riprap and need1efish (Strongllura sp.) in front. The area to be
excavated for access to the boat asin contains very sparse turtle
grass blades at about -2 to -3' MLW and slopes gently waterward as a
rock rubble/marl sediment bottom.
The construction of a concrete seawall along a similar line as the
existing riprap will result in only minimal short-term impact to the
resources of the area if riprap is placed and relocated as designed.
The location of the seawall will be waterward of the MHW line and not
at MHW as is described. If the permeable line of riprap is removed,
the MHW line would be about 6' landward. A seawall placed in line
with the adjacent seawall would be at least this far waterward of MHW.
~~
2
The subtidal riprap should provide additional ideal habitat for fish
and invertebrates and attachment substrate for benthic algae as well
as better reduce erosion to the uplands. Excavation of the boat basin
from the uplands biologically will result in no adverse impact and
water quality should be maintained due to excellent tidal flow of
Sister's Creek, shallow depth, wave surge from boat traffic that will
aid in turnover of water within the basin and the orientation of the
basin to the west. Observations of several other similar basins along
Sister's Creek to the north indicate adequate benthic and water quality
conditions and little or no entrapment problem from floating debris.
Excavation of subtidal bottom to provide access to the basin will
create a bottom discontinuity but not one that the bottom of which will
differ significantly from adjacent bottom types.
Based on biological consideration and due to site specific conditions,
recommend approval of the project as proposed. This recommendation is
in accordance with CHAPTER 17-3 and 17-4 FAC and Sections 253 and
403 F.S.
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.
