Gentlemen: This law firm represents the John's Island Property C -overs Association, Inc., a Florida non-profit corporation consisting of lando.mers in the John's Island residential development in the To m. of Indian River Shores, Indian River County, Florida. The coastal barrier maps accompanying the Draft infor- mation Sur-maries for Undeveloped Coastal Barriers categorize the northern portion of John's Island as undeveloped coastal barrier. The affected area is marked in yells:•.* on the enclosed copy of the pertinent portion of the coastal barrier ;yap. The Department of the Interior has requested comments anu recom- mendations concerning the accuracy of the•Dra_`t Information Summaries. Please retard this letter as a request on behalf of the John's Island Property Owners Association, Inc., to change the coastal barrier map to show that the northern portion of John's Island, hereto ore classified as undevelopeL, is developed in accordance With the requirements set forth in the Draft Information Summary fcr the reasons that fellow. The Draft Information Summary in its definition of un- developed coastal barriers sets ferth three requirements, all of which must be met, for a coastal barrier to be classified as undeveloped. The pcl-tion of John's Island categorized on the present coastal barrier map as undeveloped does not meet -two of the three requirements necessary for an area to be categorized as undeveloped. (l.) The first requirement is that within all or part of an undeveloped coastal barrier, few man --made structures may be present.
