Resolution 163-1980
RESOLUTION 1ft
163-1980
vlliEREAS, the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS of MONROE County,
Florida, has received an application from Neil MacDonald to protect
and restore:
105' of eroded shoreline along a 13' deep manmade channel in
front of Single Family Residence. Boulder riprap, capped with 4'
concrete walkway will constitute the bulkhead and approximately 58
cubic yards of fill will be placed behind bulkhead.
Applicant will control turbidity (and reinforce riprap) by placing
"clean" boulders at bulkhead line and grouting the landward surface
before placing the fill. To keep owners boat out of channel, davits
will be installed (personal communication with contractor). Equipment
and material will be brought to site over existing roads and owners
uplan~. Top of bulkhead will be the elevation of owner's lot.
This is an area of Single Family Residences, approximately 60 percent
developed. Nearly all occupied lots have some form of shoreline pro-
tection/boat mooring facilities. Vegetation on undeveloped sites is
pioneer - Australian Pine, Brazilian pepper, buttonwood, while
ornamentals have been transplanted around existing residences.
Adjacent lot has concrete block seawall with boat ramp. Interestingly,
the growth of Batophora sp was thicker on the face of this seawall than
on the stones in front of project site.
Project shoreline has been eroded (see photo) and a few large boulders
remain in the area. Most of the substrate is small coral stones with
a sparse (3 percent) covering of Batophora sp. A small (3 sq. ft.)
patch of Thalassia testudinum is present adjacent to seawall on the
east, but should be outside of proposed boulder line on the edge of
this 13' deep manmade channel. Individual plants observed: three
small black mangroves (Avicennia germinans), three red mangroves
(Rhizophora mangle), one broken buttonwood (Gonocarpus concordia)
four Borrichio sp, four Sesuvium, six Salicornia, and three railroad
vines (Ipomoea pes-capral).
Due to the wave action along this exposed shorelines, sediment has
been removed from the area below MHW line. Wrack collects (see photo)
at and above MHW line.
No ffs'hps Here observed in the area.
Impace of this project will be stabilization of this wave washed area
and provide attachment sites for vegetation.
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
lst
day of July
1980, at a Regularly
scheduled Meeting.
