Department: Planning and Environmental Resources
Staff Contact: Timothy J. McGarry
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Presentation to the Board of County Commissioners on potential locations for a
passive park/memorial tree garden in Key Largo and directing appropriate staff to seek funding for construction and
implementation of the park.
ITEM BACKGROUND: A request was made by the Children's Memorial Tree Gardens Inc. to the Monroe
County Board of County Commissioners to establish a passive park in Key Largo which will also serve as a
Memorial Tree Garden. After discussion, the BOCC assigned the Growth Management Division to research and
analyze various locations for a potential location for the passive park/memorial tree garden.
Staff visited and examined various publicly owned properties for a potential park location. The following sites were
analyzed and would be suitable for a memorial tree garden.
Site # Location Ownership Size (acres) Rank
Preference)
1 US.l and Barracuda Blvd. (MM 103.6) ROCC 1.85 2
2 US.l and Bonito Ave. (MM 103.6) ROCC 1.85 3
~ !US.l and Churchill Downs (MM 103.5) FDOT .68 4
~ US.l and Poinsietta Dr. (MM 99.8) M.C. Land Authority 1.14 (plus 1.25 of FDOT 1
ROW)
5 iuS.l (MM 99.6) M.C. Land Authoritv 1.14 5
Representatives for the tree garden reviewed the sites and ranked sites 4, I, and 2 as the preferred location due to
their good accessibility and the presence of mature trees. Site 3 (FDOT ROW) is also a preferred location but does
not rank as high as the first three sites due to the preparation necessary to establish a tree garden. Site 5 was ranked
last in preference due to its location (between two commercial locations).
PREVIOUSLY RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: N/A.
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: NI A.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff concurs with the ranking provided by representatives of the tree garden and
recommends that the BOCC direct the appropriate staff to seek funding for design and construction of a passive park
in the Key Largo area.
