Attorney Bruce Barkett, representing Sea Oaks Development <br />Company, advised that Sea Oaks also supports the adoption of this <br />management plan for Jungle Trail, and reviewed the following <br />memo: <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County <br />FROM: Sea Oaks, Bruce Barkett, Attorney <br />SUBJECT: Proposed Jungle Trail Management Plan <br />DATE: April 10,,1989 <br />Sea Oaks has the following specific recommendations to be <br />incorporated in the proposed Jungle Trail Management Plan on <br />April 11, 1989: <br />1. Within the Jungle Trail Management "Guidelines" item <br />4.c., found at the top of page 6, the following language should <br />be deleted: <br />tall plantings (minimum seven feet) are to be <br />located within ten feet of the trail travel - <br />way to maiimize buffer characteristics, with <br />regard to visual sight -line buffer as viewed <br />from Jungle Trail. <br />2. Page 6, item 6a(2): The following underlined language <br />should be added to the section: <br />Fences which have an opacity of not more than <br />fifty (50) per cent when viewed along the <br />line of sight perpendicular to the fence. <br />Such fences may only be allowed in the outer <br />ten feet of the prptected area, except as <br />otherwise provided herein, provided no native <br />vegetation is disturbed in conjunction- with <br />fence installation. Fences may be allowed in <br />the twenty (20) feet of the protected area <br />nearest Jungle Trail if such fencing will be <br />in alignment with existing permitted fencing <br />of the same property owner or development <br />prosect. <br />The following items are also of concern to Sea Oaks: <br />1. .The proposed management plan would require a visual <br />buffer of seventy (70) percent opacity. Sea Oaks would support a <br />reduction of that opacity level to fifty (50) percent. This <br />would recognize that riparian, property owners have at least an <br />equal right to view the river as travelers have to be screened <br />from the uplands. <br />2. The Management Plan contemplates County stabilization <br />of the shoreline along Jungle Trail with assessments made to the <br />upland property owner. Sea Oaks submits that if the County is <br />stabilizing .the shoreline to protect the County's Jungle Trail, <br />then all citizens within the County should share responsibility <br />of that stabilization; it would be inequitable to impose that <br />cost on the upland property owner. <br />APR 11 1989 <br />BB <br />44 <br />ROOK 16 Flq550 <br />
