Mr. Crosby noted that Plan "A" shows a drawbridge which would provide continuity of Jungle Trail and informed the Board that the firm they have engaged to design the bridge is a leading designer of bridges and eminently qualified. Mr. Crosby noted that the bridge design criteria as stipulated by the County Engineer and the DOT would support a 3 axle semi -tractor trailer fully loaded, and Florida Land Company would work with the County in curing right-of-way deficiencies as well as employ methods to regain parts of the roadway presently being eroded. He emphasized that with a drawbridge, there would be a minimum disruption of traffic, and provisions would be made for a loop road for emergency access as a safety provision. - James Beindorf, Engineer for the River Bend Project, next came before the Board to discuss the proposed yacht club, emphasizing that it will be a yacht club and not a marina, which is a much more commercially oriented operation. He reported that the yacht club is designed to accommodate boats from 20' to 40' or 50' in length with drafts up to 101, which will necessitate the excavation of approximately 133,000 cubic yards within the boundaries of the land owned by Florida Land and an additional 1,800 cubic yards for connection to the waterway. Mr. Beindorf believed there is a need for this type of river and ocean -oriented project and that their sheltered site located on a bend of the Indian River and close to the Intracoastal Waterway is well suited for a yacht club. He confirmed their plans to stabilize the shoreline, both along the river and within the yacht club itself by planting mangroves. Mr. Beindorf pointed out that permits must be obtained from the Department of Environmental Regulation, and the County would be appraised of everything as permitting procedures went forward since written approval of the proposed activity must be obtained from the County Commission and submitted to the JAN 27199 17 V1 48 FA�r665
