Fr" <br />APR 11 assn <br />BOOK 76 PAGE 555 <br />Flora Orth, representing the Indian River County Historical <br />Society, read the following resolution which was approved by all <br />who were present at the Board of Directors' meeting of March 28, <br />1989: <br />"The Indian River County Historical Society feels any <br />realignment of Jungle Trail will set a damaging precedent that <br />would encourage future attacks on the integrity of this unique <br />and historical resource. The Historical Society's philosophy is <br />based on historical records with its old folks on education, <br />restoration, and preservation of our heritage. Because of our <br />commitment to this historical corridor, we fully support the <br />Jungle Trail Management Plan, as written, and approved by the IRC <br />Planning & Zoning Commission on March 9, 1989." <br />Millie Bunnell, President of the Indian River County <br />Historical Society, thanked the Planning staff for the many hours <br />they have spent in working with the Historical Society and other <br />groups in developing the Jungle Trail Management Plan. She felt <br />they have done a very good job and the Society is pleased with <br />the proposed management plan. She had with her the original map <br />done on linen paper which was done by Leischer & Carter in 1925. <br />That road is still there just as it was and that makes it <br />historical. It was the first State Road A -1-A. They would like <br />to ask the Board of County Commissioners to approve the plan as <br />written in the best interests of the Trail. <br />Mrs. Bunnell distributed copies of the following drawing, <br />which denotes 19 historic or scenic sites just off or near the <br />trail. <br />39 <br />
