Why are we here?
•
In Oct 2009 City Commission voted to delay the approval
of the Virginia Key Master Plan to allow for additional
community input.
• After numerous public meetings (three workshops) and
at least a dozen working sessions - as well as consultation
and collaboration with Planning Staff and government
representatives, we're here to present the consensus
plan.
y T.
F � -
e
t we face a unique
challenge to bring
-nature and the cit
n together on this island.
ems-
L
We have built consensus for a better plan for Virginia Key,
showing the value of a more coherent public process that
has included the hard work of many people in this room -
both public officials and concerned residents. We thank you.

The late great Athalie Range and
others fought too hard to preserve this
historic beach. It should not be
dominated by inappropriate uses.
Deed restrictions would be violated.
•Historic contribution to the diversity of
our community.
• Crucial civil rights history happened
here. To be honored in a museum.
• Protection of the Virginia Key Trust is
central to the integrity of the island

Vision For Virginia Key From UEL
Workshop Sept 27, 2009
• An Accessible Place of Recreation, Heritage, and
Natural Conservation
• Complete public access to waterfront
• Sustainable principles: healthy activity, low carbon
footprint
• No overnight accommodations (eco camping allowed)
and expand eating and public facilities and recreational
activities.
• Enhance public amenities, transportation
• Integrate Thematic Linkages: Heritage, Recreation,
Environmental Education, and Conservation of Natural
Resources
What Does the Community Not want the
Island to be?
• Hotels, condos and shopping centers
• Overbuilding
• Encroachment into natural areas
• Insensitive stewardship ofcultural/historic
sites
Detailed Workshop Recommendations
1. Create a Welcome and Orientation Center
•Located at or near the Marine Stadium
(possible relationship with National Park
Service)
•Thematic integration of the Island
■Education, research, recreation, natural
areas, cultural memory, entertainment,
food, water sports
•Introduction to island transportation system
■Tram schedule, show nearby locations
for bicycle rentals; where to rent kayaks
2. Follow historic legal agreements and establish
a Controlling Authority
• County and State deed restrictions should
be followed.
• Long term: A multi -jurisdictional Virginia
Key Governing Board should be created to
guide the future uses of the island and
devise an equitable business plan for all
elements of the Master Plan.
3. Transportation: Connectivity
and Sustainability
• Compliment use of cars on the island with
more public transportation to mainland
• Need for some sort of island tram
• Address the problem of sea level rise
• Causeway as scenic byway
• Enhance view corridors
• Environmentally sensitive water taxi system -
need manatee protection
