MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE FEDERAL A VIA TION ADMINISTRATION
AND THE FLORIDA STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER
PURSUANT TO 36 CFR 800
REGARDING PROPOSED PASSENGER TERMINAL BUILDING EXPANSION AND
ASSOCIATED CONSTRUCTION OF ELEVATED PARKING DECK
AT THE KEY WEST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
KEY WEST, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has determined that the proposed
passenger building expansion and associated construction of an elevated parking deck (Deck) at
the Key West International Airport (KWIA), Key West, Florida, will have an adverse effect upon
the East Martello Tower (Tower), which is individually listed in the National Register of Historic
Places, and has consulted with the Florida State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) pursuant
to 36 CFR 800, as amended, regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f); and,
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), which owns KWIA
and the Tower, and the Key West Art and Historical Society (KW AHS), which leases the Tower
from KWIA, have participated in the consultation process and have been invited to concur in this
Memorandum of Agreement (Agreement);
NOW THEREFORE, the FAA and the SHPO agree that the undertaking will be implemented
in accordance with the following stipulations in order to take into account the adverse effect of
the undertaking upon the historic property.
Stipulations
The FAA will ensure, in coordination with the SHPO, the BOCC, and the KW AHS, that the
following stipulations are carried out:
I. MITIGATION
A. The development and implementation of a landscape design to assist in screening the
Tower from the proposed Deck and KWIA. The design will be developed in
coordination with the SHPO and submitted to the SHPO for review and comment.
The SHPO will provide comments on the design within 30 days of its receipt.
B. The design and application of a treatment for the proposed Deck that is compatible
with the historic setting of the Tower. The design will be developed in coordination
with the SHPO and submitted to the SHPO for review and comment. The SHPO will,
provide comments on the design within 30 days of its receipt.
C. Due to the probability of archaeological resources adjacent to the East Martello
Tower site, the FAA will ensure that an Archaeologist monitors all ground disturbing
activities in the area of the Tower site. The selected Archaeologist will meet the
Secretary of the Interior's Historic Preservation Professional Qualifications Standards
for Archaeology. Upon discovery of archaeological resources, work in the immediate
Page 1 of 4
area will be halted while the Archaeologist evaluates the significance of the resources
and conveys such evaluation to the SHPO. If the resources are determined by the
Archaeologist not to be of significance, work may resume immediately. If the
resources are determined by the Archaeologist to be of significance, the FAA will
ensure that a data recovery plan is developed by the Archaeologist in consultation
with the SHPO for the recovery of archaeological data from the site. The plan will be
consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for
Archaeological Documentation (48 FR 44734-37).
D. Informational brochure/flyer and poster for the Fort East Martello Museum and
Gardens, developed in coordination with the Key West Art and Historical Society, to
be displayed in the airport terminal in association with the "Walk Into History"
pathway.
E. Archival black and white photographs (exterior and interior) of the East Martello
Tower submitted to the SHPO for inclusion in the Florida Master Site File inventory.
II. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
A. Should the SHPO object within 30 days to any plans or actions required pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, the FAA will consult with the SHPO to resolve the
objection. If the FAA determines that the objection cannot be resolved through
consultation, the FAA will forward all documentation relevant to the dispute to the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (Council). Within 30 days after receipt of
pertinent documentation, the Council will either:
1. Provide the FAA with recommendations, which the FAA will take into account
in reaching a final decision regarding the dispute; or
2. Notify the FAA that it will comment pursuant to 36 CFR 800.6(b)(2) and
proceed to comment. Any Council comment provided in response to such a
request will be taken into account by the FAA in accordance with 36 CFR
800.6(b)(2) with reference to the subject of the dispute.
B. Any recommendations or comment provided by the Council will be understood to
pertain only to the subject of the dispute. The FAA's responsibility to carry out all
actions under the Agreement that are not the subject of the dispute will remain
unchanged.
III. AMENDMENTS
A. Either the FAA or the SHPO may request that the Agreement be amended or
modified, whereupon the FAA, the SHPO, the BOCC, and the KW AHS will consult
to consider such revisions.
B. Any resulting amendments or addenda will be developed and executed among the
FAA, the SHPO, the BOCC, and the KW AHS in the same manner as the original
Agreement.

IV. DURATION
A. This Agreement will terminate and have no further force or effect when the FAA, in
consultation with the SHPO, the BOCC, and the KW AHS, determines that the terms
of this Agreement have been fulfilled in a satisfactory manner. The FAA will provide
the SHPO, the BOCC, and the KW AHS with written notice of its determination and
of termination of this Agreement.
B. Failure to fulfill the terms of this Agreement will require the FAA, the SHPO, the
BOCC, and the KW AHS to enter into the Dispute Resolution process set forth in
Stipulation II.
V. TERMINATION
A. Either the FAA or the SHPO may terminate this Agreement by providing 30 days
notice to the other party and the BOCC and KW AHS, provided that FAA, the SHPO,
the BOCC, and the KW AHS will consult during the period prior to termination to
seek agreement on amendments or other actions that would avoid termination.
B. If the Agreement is not amended and is terminated, the FAA will execute a new
Agreement with the SHPO or will request the comments of the Council under 36 CFR
800.7.
Execution of this Agreement by the FAA and the SHPO and implementation of its terms
evidence that the FAA has afforded the Council an opportunity to comment on the proposed
project and its effect on the Tower and that the FAA has taken into account the effects of the
undertaking and proposed project upon the historic property.
