r� <br />The applicant's proposed amendments to the Thoroughfare Plan Map <br />and Subdivision Collector Map are depicted in attachments #3 and <br />#4, respectively. <br />Attachment #5 is the existing Thoroughfare Plan Map and <br />attachment #6 is the existing Subdivision Collector Map for the <br />county. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the above analysis, the staff recommends approval of <br />these changes to the Thoroughfare Plan as an amendment to the <br />Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Director Keating advised that the only controversy seems to <br />relate to reclassifying the north barrier island roads from <br />collector to subdivision collector roads as evidenced by the <br />following letter from the Historical Society: <br />hiw; <br />VENO STATION 1010 <br />Wum [Umr caw1y <br />HISTORICAL <br />SOCIETY - <br />INC. <br />P•O.Borc 6535 <br />Vcro Beach, FL 32961 I <br />September 2, 1988 <br />U <br />Mr. Doug Scurlock <br />Chairman <br />Members of the Indian River county 0=9ssioners <br />RE: Proposed January 1988 AmersIments, Transportation Element <br />"reclassifying the north barrier island roads from collector to <br />subdivision collector'roads" <br />our Society has participated in the public hearing of April 26, 1988 <br />on the above referenced amendments and we would like to state, again, our <br />cbjection to the collector status and the proposed subdivision collector <br />designation for segments of Jungle Trail. The corresponding construction <br />criteria (i.e. width of pavement, curbing, drainage swales, etc.) of <br />these designations, if implemented, will allow the destruction of this <br />very narrow, scenic, historic road, thereby destroying its historic <br />value. <br />Section 6 of. the Scenic Trails Ordinance adopted in 1985 states that <br />I"I'he Public Works Division—, the Parks Department and the COMMUnity <br />Development Division shall implement guidelines for maintenance of the <br />scenic and historic roads." This has not been accomplished. It was our <br />hope the guidelines would be ready by the date of this public hearing. <br />We are asking once again that this commission guarantee that Jungle <br />Trail from AlA on the north to its intersection with Winter Beach Bridge <br />Road on the south will remain untouched, in its present state until <br />guidelines are established. <br />our Society has tried to work in a positive mariner with Indian River <br />County and the other communities within our County to enhance the rich <br />historic heritage found in our area. We understand, sometimes, this is <br />difficult because of tremendous development pressure on these resources. <br />our Society continues to offer our input toward long-range goals of <br />preserving the unique Areas of Indian River county's historical past for, <br />further generations T enjoy. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mrs. Millie Bunnell <br />President <br />51 BOOK � � F,�E <br />SEP 6 1988 <br />
