APR 1 L 1989 <br />BOOK 76 PAGE 561 <br />Augusta Vinson, representing the Executive Board of the <br />Indian River County Garden Club, advised that their members fully <br />support the management plan for Jungle Trail. <br />Phillip Dixon, 8725 Lakeside Boulevard, representing a <br />number of waterfront property owners at Sea Oaks, respectfully <br />asked the Board to give careful consideration to two important <br />aspects of the management plan -- opacity and riparian owners <br />rights to view the river. <br />Gordon Graham, resident of Sea Oaks, advised that he also <br />represents a number of property owners there who want to maintain <br />their views of the Indian River.
