L-1 Advantages: If this alternative is selected, Florida Land Company will dedicate 5 1 acres west of Jungle Trail to be used for conservation purposes. The bridge will be dedicated to the County, thus allowing total County ownership and maintenance control. Funds for operation and maintenance of the bridge will come from special assessments to Florida Land Company and/or future residents. This point is still in issue. Selection of this alternative will result in erosion control to be provided by Florida Land Company. .Disadvantages: The County, by assuming complete ownership control, could have complete responsibility for operation, maintenance, and any liability which may occur in the future. The County would possibly need personnel to operate and repair a bascule type bridge facility. The County must also insure that an alternate loop road is provided for through traffic should the bridge be inoperable for an extended period of time. The placement of a bridge on Jungle Trail may detract from the intent to designate the road a scenic drive, to be left in its natural state as recommended by the Transportation Planning Committee on January 13, 1982. Alternate C: Allow a cut in the present Jungle Trail roadway, and reroute Jungle Trail around the proposed yacht basin. Advantages: Selection of this alternative will provide the County with the following opportunities: 1) Alleviate the potential concerns resulting from placing a bridge along the existing route; 2) Keeping the rerouted Jungle Trail section in a "natural" state by requiring Florida Land Company to landscape and buffer the section from development. The County could also require that the section be -unpaved, thereby blending in with the existing route. 3) Utilize the remaining road portion adjacent to the channel cut as passive park area. The County, as a condition for allowing the cut, could require Florida Land Company to dedicate and provide improvements to this park area. 4)"'- Require that Florida Land Company dedicate the 5 ± acre parcel west of Jungle Trail to either the County or private organization to be utilized as a nature preserve; 5) Provide Florida Land Company with the responsibility with the east bank erosion control as shown on the site plan. RECOMMENDATIO If the Board of County Commissioners choose to permit Florida Land Company to cut a channel into Jungle Trail for the purpose of building a marina, staff recommends that: 1) No drawbridge be placed on that cut. Florida Land Company should realign the roadway around the basin site and dedicate the realigned section to the County. 11 2) The realigned section be constructed in a manner that conforms with the remainder of Jungle Trail, receives appropriate landscaping and buffer setbacks, and is designed in accordance with the design standards approved by the County Department of Public Works; and 3) Florida dedicate two park areas to the County: * A 5 ± acre site to be dedicated for conservation purposes * A site where the existing road section lies 13 JAN 27 19'8 2 noK 8 PAu- 661
