I JUL 111984 BOOK 57 FnE685 Mrs. Stanbridge further noted that one of their alternatives for fishing on Jungle Trail was to utilize that 3/4 acre, and she brought up the possibility of a boat ramp. Administrator Wright did not believe a boat ramp is feasible on 3/4 of an acre as there would only be space to park one car, and Governmental Coordinator Thomas reported that we did apply for a boat ramp and a dock there about seven years ago, and the DNR turned us down. Discussion continued at length in regard to getting the Town to agree that Winter Beach Road will remain open to the public between SR A -1-A and Jungle Trail, and it was noted we could either leave the road under the Control of Indian River Shores or request the Town to return it to the County for maintenance and control. Discussion continued as to whether we are talking about the Jungle Trail connection or the bridgehead connection, and City Manager Dorsky asked if the -County felt they did not give the Town control of the bridgehead portion. Attorney Brandenburg noted that the resolution only talks about roads that were in existence when it was adopted; it did not talk about right-of-way. City Manager Dorsky did not feel that whether the right-of-way was paved or not is material; he did believe it was a road. Administrator Wright asked if that road does not split, and the City Manager stated that Winter Beach Road intersects with Jungle Trail. Jungle Trail obviously has never been turned over to the Town, but Winter Beach Road was part of the system that was turned over to the Town at the time that Resolution was adopted. The end of it, however, has not been used as a thoroughfare at all, but has been a dumping ground for years until recently cleaned up. He felt a Resolution expressing the County's interest in maintaining the openness of the road would be satisfactory. The Town has no intent to close it. 7® -
