Commissioner Bowman felt that some provision should be made <br />for landscaping in front of the 8 -ft. concrete wall that is <br />proposed to be built in front of Vista Harbor. <br />Commissioner Wheeler advised that the people in Vista Harbor <br />have mixed feelings about removing the pines, and he felt that <br />before construction is started, it should be clarified as to <br />which trees will be removed. <br />Wes Carroll, resident of Vista Harbor and a board member of <br />the Vista Harbor Property Owners Association, understood that all <br />of the pine trees will be removed. Although they hate to see <br />those trees torn down, they realize it is necessary. They would <br />like to see some landscaping in front of the wall. <br />Chairman Scurlock pointed out that there would have to be <br />some provision for maintenance of the landscaping in front of the <br />wall, and Mr. Carroll stressed that they have been taking care of <br />the land in the County's right-of-way for years, and if the <br />County puts. -something in there that is beautiful, they can be <br />assured that Vista Harbor will take care of it. <br />Commissioner Bowman wished to see some oak trees and some <br />native wax myrtle planted in there, but Commissioner Wheeler did <br />not feel there is enough space to plant oak trees. <br />Chairman Scurlock suggested that we approve staff's <br />recommendation as submitted, and then authorize staff to move. <br />ahead on an appropriate landscaping.and maintenance plan. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner. Bowman, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0) <br />approved staff's recommendation as set out in the <br />above memo. <br />Commissioner Eggert pointed out that some of the landscaping <br />beds along Indian River Boulevard are not being maintained, and <br />some of the little trees that were planted are not taking hold. <br />25 <br />AUG 2i 1 8 BOOK �c� F �, c :3136 <br />J <br />
