Dear Mr. Nowlin:
Re: File No. 44-l3-l079-5E,
Monroe County
A biological assessment has been made of your proposal as follows:
The applicant has proposed the construction of a 60' long,
12' wide concrete seawall in line with the existing ad-
jacent seawall. This will be rip-rapped and backfilled
to bring the elevation up to the existing grade. The
project will extend into the water to approximately
-1.8' MHW.
The area of the proposed project is known as Jolly Roger
Estates. It is subdivided into residential lots along
canals and an offshore access channel. The elevation has
been raised by filling with crushed limerock. Vegetation
was predominantly scrub Australian pine (Casurina equiset-
ifolia). Four homes were constructed in the vicinity.
The project site is along an eroded crushed limerock
fill shoreline. An access channel runs parallel to the
shoreline 15' from the project site. Submerged vegeta-
tion was primarily Batophora ~. with scattered Aceta-
bularia~. Vegetation above MHW was scrub Australian
pine, Sesuvium ~., scrub white mangrove (Laguncularia
racemosa), and Sea lavender (Limonium carolinianum).
