BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
MEETING DATE: 07/20/05
DIVISION: COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
BULK ITEM: NO
DEPARTMENT: AIRPORTS
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Presentation by Larry Chalmers, our Director of Construction and Planning, concerning the
development of the new McCoy TelTTlinal Complex at the Key west International Airport The items discussed will be the
height of the structure and the reconfiguration of the Pines area into the Mario Sanchez Children's Park..
ITEM BACKGROUND: Although the new terminal building will only be one story of habitable space, it will need a roof
peak height of 40'6" to accommodate the design elements needed (FEMA, FOOT vehicle clearances, and pitched roof
with vaulted cefling). The overall height with the roof monitors containing mechanical equipment and skylights will be 47'
This height is in keeping with the community character since the tallest other structures in the area vary in height from 4~
to 85 feet tall, The proposed height of the terminal is not opposed by either the Monroe County Growth Management
Division or the City of Key West Director of Planning.
The Australian Pine trees in the area known as the Pines Park (adjacent to East Martello Museum and South Roosevelt
Boulevard) must be removed as a condition of our Major Conditional Use permit for the new Terminal Complex. The
area must be replanted with native vegetation. After the pines have been removed, we plan to use the area temporarily
to replace parking spaces taken up by the construction process for the new building. As a joint project with the Museum
and the Art and Historical Society, we plan to replace the Pines with an interactive children's park with structures, signs
and vegetation typical of a Mario Sanchez wood carving.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT soce ACTION. None on these items.
