Box 3381 <br />Vero Beach, A. 32960 <br />"The objectives rind purposes shall be to preserve, foster and promnto the beauty, natural resources <br />and good government ut tno City of Vero l3each and Indian River County." <br />ATTACHMENT #2 <br />November 11, 1981 <br />Indian River County Planning & Zoning Commission <br />2121 14th Avenue <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Attention: Mrs. Carolyn Eggert, Chairman <br />RE: Proposed Cut -Through and Draw -Bridging <br />of Jungle Trail <br />Ladies and Gentlemen: <br />Relative to subject Cut -Through & Bridge, the Vero <br />Beach Civic Association opposes such action for the reasons <br />indicated below: <br />1. Jungle Trail is an historic and scenic <br />drive that has been used in public domain <br />for several decades and is indeed one of the <br />most scenic riverside drives in the State of <br />Florida. <br />2. As we all observe, the Florida„Department of <br />Transportation no longer installs draw -bridges <br />for the reasons of high maintenance costs, and <br />high personnel costs and most certainly we cannot <br />assume that these proposers or their successors will <br />provide trust funds to assure repairs, maintenance <br />and proper operation of a draw bridge for an indefinite <br />period of time. <br />3. A body of water bottlenecked into the Indian River <br />and without adequate flushing capability (internal/ <br />external water circulation) would result in a <br />gradual process of deterioration known as eutrophication. <br />We strongly recommend against any approval of such a proposal. <br />For the Board of Directors <br />VERO BEACH CIVIC ASSOCIATION <br />i <br />romax Gwat mey- / <br />LG:jce President <br />4:l <br />
