To eliminate public hearings on the work force housing proposals and 2. To eliminate the opportunity of neighbors to protest such developments altogether. I am concerned about the density at present levels of 18 units per acre in our rural areas and I am especially concerned about increasing that by 50% to 27 units per acre. Such density will create significant traffic problems and hazards. I live on Lower Sugarloaf at the blinking light and the time it takes to make a left turn out ofthis area, especially in season, is over 5-7 minutes. Allowing this fast track would create more traffic and more accidents. The number of accidents in this area at the blinking light have increased over the years. Please do your job and keep the Lower Keys the way they are supposed to be-family communities! Sincerely.

I will be happy to answer any question;; you may have. Bill Hunter 1 L!Ma"!¥1tli~ lrr. P.a Bx996. ~ws. R.33041 June 19, 2018 Monroe County Mayor Rice, Monroe County Commissioners,. Monroe County Planning Commissioners, The members of the Lower Keys Alliance (the Alliance) consist of residents of the Lower Keys as defined in the Lower Keys Livable Communi Keys Plan (LKLCP)- the Torch Keys, Ramrod, Summerland, Cudjoe, and Sugarloaf Keys, and the Saddle Bunch Keys. The Alliance supports the County's efforts to encourage the development of workforce housing in the Keys. In this regard, the Alliance has ·supported a number of recently proposed workforce housing projects in the Keys, including low-density, smaller-scale projects in the LKLCP area. Recently the Goal 109 proposals have been circulated by County staff. These proposals seek to increase the density limits for workforce housing projects in the Suburban Commercial (SC), Mixed Use (MU), and Urban Residential (UR) zoning districts and to streamline the approval process for workforce housing projects throughout the unincorporated County. The Alliance opposes any increase in the maximum density of workforce housing projects in the LKLCP area because large-scale, high-density housing projects (1) would be incompatible with the character of our Lower Keys communities, (2) would be beyond what is necessary to serve the local needs of our Lower Keys communities, and (3) would significantly increase traffic on US 1 as most of the residents would be making long commutes to places of employment in or near Key West or Marathon. According to the Vision Statement of the LKLCP, a document which was adopted by the BOCC and incorporated into the County's 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Lower Keys are to "remain a low-density, primarily residential community". Goal1 of the LKLCP states that "Monroe County shall manage future growth to preserve the rural or low density community character" of the Lower Keys. Numerous other 1 l.r:Ms"K:!ysttli~ In:. P.Q lbc996, ~ws. R. 33041 provisions of the LKLCP confirm the intention that development in the LKLCP area should focus on low-density, small-scale projects based on the desire that new development be compatible with existing development. Furthermore, Goal 4 of the LKLCP provides that the County should pursue the development of affordable housing in the LKLCP area, "while also ensuring compatibility between new and existing residential development". Consistency between the intensities of new and existing development is also an important stated goal of the Mixed Use-Commercial (Me) future land use category. See Camp Plan Policy 101.5.6. In this regard, virtually all of the properties in the LKLCP area on which workforce housing projects can be developed are part of the MC category (and the large majority of those are in the SC zoning district). Another important principle of development and growth set forth in the LKLCP is that new commercial development should be of no greater density and scale than is necessary to serve the local needs of our communities. This principle appears in at least 7 places in the LKLCP, including Objectives 1.4 and 1.5. Similarly, the Land Development Code states that the purpose of the SC zoning district is to establish areas for commercial uses that are designed primarily to serve the needs of the immediate planning areas in which they are located. LDC Section 130-46. Both state law and the County Camp Plan provide that affordable housing projects should be developed in or near the employment centers ofthe Keys. In designating the Keys as an area of critical state concern, the state legislature expressed its intent to provide affordable housing in close proximity to places of employment in the Keys. Fla. Stat. Section 380.0552(2). Moreover, the County Camp Plan states that one of the guidelines to be taken into account in assessing potential sites for affordable housing projects for which County funding is to be provided is the proximity of the project to employment and retail centers and sets forth a preference for sites that are within S miles of employment and retail centers. Camp Plan Policy 601.1.5(5). 2 The.principal purpose of the Residential High (RH) future land use category is to provide for high-density single-family, multi-family, and institutional residential development, including mobile homes and manufactured housing, located near employment centers. Comp Plan Policy 101.5.4. ' ' Limiting large-scale and high-density workforce housing projects to locations in or near employment centers would have the benefit of minimizing additional traffic oh US 1. The LKLCP area is located approximately 11-26 miles from the entrance to Key West and approximately 19-34 miles from the entrance to Marathon. It is very likely that most of the units in a typical high-density workforce housing project in the LKLCP area would include employees of businesses or government entities who work in or near Key West or in Marathon. In this regard, increasingresidential density for properties in the SC zoning district within the LKLCP area would be contrary to a stated goal of development in the SC district, which is to reduce traffic on US 1. See LDC Section 130-46. For all of the reasons discussed above, the Alliance believes that additional density b9nuses or increases for workforce housing projects as included in the Goal 109 proposals are inappropriate for the LKLCP area. The current allowable maximum density of 18 dwelling units per acre for the SC and MU zoning districts provides ample density for our rural and residential communities. Rather, large-scale and high-density housing projects should only be developed in or near the employment centers of Key West and Marathon. While the Alliance generally supports the efforts made by the Goal109 proposals to accelerate the timing of the approval process for proposed workforce housing projects, we believe that two of those provisions would inappropriately limit the ability of affected residents to comment on and object to such proposed projects: Specifically, the Alliance opposes the following proposals: (1) The proposed elimination of the requirement of a comm'unity meeting during the early approval stages of proposed text changes for workforce housing projects that currently require such a meeting. Community 3 l.cMEr~Alli~ Inc:. P.Q Eb<996, ~ws. R...33041 meetings are a great opportunity for the public to provide input at a time when changes to a proposal can most readily be made. (2) The proposed elimination of the protest procedure for any workforce housing projects for which the protest procedure is currently available. No such project should be developed without the support of a supermajority vote of the Planning Commission or the BOCC. The Alliance will be happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding our comments above. Respectfully submitted, LOWER KEYS ALLIANCE, INC.

    Sugarloaf Key EF0 Tornado, Friday Afternoon, June 1, 2007 Survey

    Sugarloaf Key EF0 Tornado Friday Afternoon, June 1st 2007 Survey Report Summary At 2:30pm EDT WFO Key West received a call from Jerry O’Cathey of Monroe County Emergency Management reporting a possible tornado touchdown on Sugarloaf Key. The tornado reportedly occurred at 1:12pm. Radar analysis later showed that the tornado most likely occurred around 12:55pm. Mr. O’Cathey received the report from the Florida Division of Emergency Management Area Seven Coordinator, Al Howell. The original report was of a waterspout coming ashore and causing minor damage to one residential structure located at 1107 Hawksbill Lane on Sugarloaf Key. At 6:42pm WFO Key West received a report of damage from Peggy Mira at 19342 Mira Road on Sugarloaf Key. She reported a 30 foot Ficus tree on her property downed, items stored beneath her home had been scattered around her property, and a screen porch being built on her property was damaged. At 2:53pm, the WFO Key West attempted to contact the MIC, Matt Strahan, and the SOO, Andy Devanas. Neither could be reached at the time. At approximately 4:00pm, Andy Devanas was informed of the possible tornado while he was in route to Key West and was able to detour to Sugarloaf Key to investigate the report. After surveying the affected structure and surroundings, it was concluded the damage was most likely caused by an EF0 tornado. Meteorology Tropical Storm Barry was forming in the east central Gulf of Mexico, and would be named a tropical storm at 5pm. Moderate to heavy rainfall was covering much of the Florida Keys (Fig 1).

    SUGARLOAF KEY's HISTORIC RESOURCES by GEORGE BORN Published in the Key West Citizen on Sunday, March 25, 2007

    SUGARLOAF KEY'S HISTORIC RESOURCES BY GEORGE BORN Published in the Key West Citizen on Sunday, March 25, 2007 Throughout the history of Sugarloaf Key, people have created and left behind a number of historic sites and structures. Some have survived; others have perished. Native American settlement on the island is evidenced by a midden — or shell heap — on the gulfside of Upper Sugarloaf, facing Cudjoe Key. This area drew the first white settlement, too. The 1850 census notes Jonathan Thompson and two other men there, growing tropical fruits and sweet potatoes. Non-agricultural supplies had to be brought in from Key West. By the 1890s, J. Vining Harris, who built the Southernmost House in Key West, owned extensive areas of Lower Sugarloaf and had a wooden house there. In 1909, he sold some of this land to Charles and George Chase, who pioneered efforts to grow sponges in Sugarloaf Sound. Soon, the community of Chase sprung up, with a post office, houses and work buildings. None of these structures survive. The Sugarloaf Lodge stands in the area today. The building of the Overseas Railroad, which reached Key West in 1912, created the right-of- way and concrete-arch bridges still remaining. The latter include the Lower Sugarloaf Channel Bridge connecting the Saddlebunch Keys with Lower Sugarloaf, the Park Channel Bridge connecting Park Key with Upper Sugarloaf and the Bow Channel Bridge connecting Upper Sugarloaf with Cudjoe. World War I wound up having a significant influence on Sugarloaf, as the financial instability brought about by the war drove the Chase Brothers' sponge operation into bankruptcy.
