M M <br />Chairman Scurlock inquired how staff would respond.to the <br />Historical Society's letter. <br />Director Keating explained that the reason collector roads <br />were initially established on the Barrier Island was to insure <br />that a lot of parcels that were landlocked, except by having <br />access just to Jungle Trail, would have some alternate access to <br />get back out to SR A -1-A without using Jungle Trail. Director <br />Keating pointed out the location of the lots on the map, noting <br />that while a number of these separate lots may be commonly owned, <br />they can be sold individually. When.staff looked at this a <br />couple years ago, they felt the best way to assure access to most <br />of these lots was to make Jungle Trail from its intersection at <br />A -1-A going south a collector roadway whereby as those lots <br />developed, they would have access. The alternative is to put in <br />a number of collector roadways east/west accessing A -1-A and then <br />you would have a number of curb cuts there. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt the bottom line is that all that <br />property, or large tracts of it, has been acquired by single <br />entities, and as he understood it, we are about to see a proposal <br />regarding annexation of a number of these lots into the Town of <br />Orchid. In view of that, he did not know what kind of control <br />we will have, if any, over Jungle Trail. <br />Director Keating advised that the County would still control <br />the access way for which a maintenance map has been filed, but <br />the county's ordinance regarding buffers and setbacks to Jungle <br />Trail would not be applicable if this area were to be annexed <br />into another jurisdiction. <br />The Chairman noted that this is a very serious question. He <br />expressed his hope and expectation that these people will be good <br />neighbors, but felt that we will have to take some position on <br />annexation; although, he believed we have little ability to do <br />anything more than possibly -have an interlocal agreement up front <br />to resolve a lot of those issues relating to Jungle Trail. He <br />felt strongly about preserving the historic part of Jungle Trail. <br />52 BOOK 74 FADE 52 <br />
