DISCUSSION ON JUNGLE TRAIL <br />The Board reviewed the following letter dated 12/1188: <br />VERO STATION 1916 <br />Indian River County <br />HISTORICAL <br />SOCIETY <br />INC: <br />P.O. Box 6535 <br />Vero Beach. FL 32961 <br />December 1, 1988 <br />Mr. William G. Collins II <br />Acting County Administrator <br />Indian River County <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />RE: JUNGLE TRAIL - HISTORIC AND SCENIC CORRIDOR <br />Dear Mr. Collins: <br />Our Society has been increasingly concerned about our historic and <br />scenic Jungle Trail. By this letter, we ask to be placed on an early <br />Commission agenda to discuss our concerns. <br />As you know, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan adopted in 1982 <br />designates Jungle Trail from Winter Beach Road North across S.R. 510 to <br />State Road A1A as a historic and scenic road. In long range plana of <br />another element of the same plan, it is noted as a scenic corridor. An <br />implementing ordinance was prepared and adopted in 1985 with provisions <br />for a management plan to be established by County staff to preserve the <br />historic and scenic integrity of Jungle Trail. <br />We have been assured by our County Commission in public meetings <br />that they recognize this Trail as historic and scenic. They required the <br />deeding of road right-of-way by the Polo Club and on another occasion in <br />discussions about subdivision collector designations, they assured us <br />that the Comprehensive Plan designation of historic and scenic would <br />supercede any other designation. <br />To this date the management plan for Jungle Trail has not been set <br />out in writing, but the encroachment continues into the scenic and <br />natural beauty of Jungle Trail. We recognize the fact that tremendous <br />development pressures have created a constant controversy about Jungle <br />Trail. Therefore, we would urgently ask that this County!s commitment be <br />reaffirmed and our Historical Society be reassured by this: Commission to <br />instruct the professional staff to immediately draft criteria for <br />preserving the historic and scenic integrity of this unique treasure - <br />Jungle Trail. <br />Our Society looks forward to working with you as we accomplish' this <br />goal of a Historic and Scenic Corridor. <br />DEC 13 1988 <br />Sincerely, <br />t(L....AaP <br />Mrs. Millie Bunnell <br />President <br />9 <br />BOOK 75 ME:353 <br />
