Re: -File No. 44-37-4057, Department of Transportation
(Spanish Harbor, Monroe -County - SJN.90030-3523)
Our staff has performed a biological survey for this project and offers the.
following comments.
The applicant proposes to construct a 3,483-ft. long by.an approximate 394t.-
wide fixed span. -reinforced concrete bridge parallel and south of the existing
.span at,Spanish Harbor. Bridge construction will,require the placement of
20,111 cubic yards of. material on the Key West end and 2,242.cubic yards of:
material on the Miami end, both landward and waterward of the .mean high water
line, to create the appropriate road slopes. Approximately 1,441 cubic yards
of material will be dredged for piling installation.. All recoverable dredge
material to be deposited on D.O.T. upland right-of-way. In addition, the existing
two-lane road approaching the Key..West end of the bridge will be replaced by a .
divided four -lane road...
The general area.surrounding the project site is undeveloped with the exception
of a marina, trailer park and motel located.south of the road on the Key West
-end. The Key West end is comprised of upland and transitional zone land except
for the raised area of'the.highway while the Miami end is upland.on a narrow
causeway. The offshore area is'a high energy system and as,a consequence
contains sparce seagrass vegetation'.
Vegetation on the Key West end i's typical of.wetland and transitional zone areas
Buttonwood, sea grapes; black mangrove, red mangrove, white mangrove,.poisonwood,
saltwort and thick mats of sea purslane were present throughout the area. The
substrate is primarily marl with organicmaterial present in heavy amounts.
The Miami end'is sparsely vegetated by.buttonwood, white:mangrove and black -
mangrove. In.addition, saltgrass, sea purslane, railroad vine and sea oxeye
are present. The substrate is primarily marl and 1imerock fill.
The -major environmental impact of this project would occur along the approach to.
the Key West: end of the bridge where the.highway.curves north,on Big Pine Key.
Although the proposed.bridge alignment is: to the Atlantic side of. the `existing .
bridge, the.new..roadway will be a divided 4-lane road and would. cross the old
road approximately 300 feet west of the bridge.. _Although the Miami bo.ufid:7ane
would remain,on the,existing.alignment around the curve, the'Key.West bound'
Monroe County Board of Commissioners

January 25, 1978
lane would "cut the corner" necessitating the placement of large quantities of
fill on.the-inside of the present curve in wetland and transitional zone areas.
This fill will have an adverse impact on the existing black and buttonwood
community.
The need for a divided 4-lane road on the Key West end:.:ha n.,j„ctifzed by
D.O.T. as necessary to provide separation between various'traffir pttarns due
to the commercial facilities located south of this project. D.O.T. has stated
During the heavy fishing seasons, this commercial facility.
generates large volumes of traffic moving onto and off of the
U.S. 1 route. Many of these vehicles include trailers for
camping or moving boats.. Such vehicles require'relatively
large turning radii and long acceleration/deceleration lanes
for safe movement into.or out of the through traffic pattern.'
In addition to the traffic characteristics, the al-ignment at
this location is not the most desirable for makng.:prouisions for
such movements. The curves required to reasonably: approach the
structure without -major bottom filling are.not available in
this -location. Therefore, the roadway.section.has been.expanded
with a median to provide for safe operation of traffic of,this.site.:
Pursuant to the requirements of ss. 253.124(3), Florida Statutes,:• the preceding
comments should be duly considered by the.council and read into the.minutes of
the meeting at which'time determination of local approval is -made:
