preliminary plan, but would like to make it clear that in no way <br />is the Historical Society objecting to this and in no way is the\ <br />Historical Society objecting to the Windsor Polo Club. They are - <br />concerned about north Jungle Trail. Mrs. Bunnell took exception <br />to Mr. Morrison questioning the historical significance of the <br />Trail, and questioned his in-depth research. She emphasized that <br />her purpose for being here today is to urge the Commission not to <br />abandon any portion of the Trail or restrict it in any way, and <br />that includes the restriction of vehicles. <br />Chairman Scurlock corrected Mrs. Bunnell's understanding of <br />his previous statement that he would not abandon or deny any <br />rights to the road. He explained that when he talked about <br />rights, he meant rights of the County to deal with that Trail. <br />In other words, the County could limit it to traffic for a period <br />of time, and if it was thought that was not for the best, the <br />County could readdress it and reopen the road. <br />Mrs. Bunnell wanted it made very clear that the Historical <br />Society is asking that the trail not be abandoned in any way or <br />have any restrictions put on any portion of the road, because <br />their concern is that if this was restricted in any way, it might <br />set a precedent. She advised that the Historical Society intends <br />to be very cooperative in working towards getting this road on <br />the National Register, and wished to present proof that this is <br />an historical trail. <br />Chairman Scurlock did not feel the Board is debating the <br />historical significance of the Trail today; the Board, for <br />whatever, reasons, recognizes that there is historic and scenic <br />significance to the Trail. Therefore, he did not feel it would <br />be worthwhile to have other people speak for 20-30 minutes at a <br />time in debate of the issue. <br />Ruth Stanbridge, Chairman of the Scenic and Historic Trails <br />Committee and a member of the Historical Society, advised that <br />the Comp Plan of 1982 states that priority will be given to the <br />recognition of 4 historical and scenic roads in this county, one <br />'rER <br />69. <br />BOOK 71 FnE 69 <br />
