APS 111989 <br />BOOK 76 PAGE 565 <br />also urged the Board to continue to have the courage to stay with <br />what they know is in the best interests of the community. <br />Gordon Michael, 2655 69th Street, was concerned about the <br />impact of development along Jungle Trail, specifically Sea Oaks <br />and Indian Trails. He emphasized that there are things going on <br />right now along the Trail that will not be able to be changed at <br />a later date because they will be grandfathered in when this <br />management plan is approved. Mr. Michael stated that he <br />represents the Kennedy and Ryall families to the north of the <br />Trail who want the Trail to remain open to their businesses and <br />families. <br />Ester Cramer, president of the Treasure Coast Archaeological <br />Society, understood that the County abandoned a northern section <br />of the Trail, but Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that the <br />Commission didn't abandon anything. They did approve a temporary <br />4. <br />closing to vehicular traffic on that portion of the Trail that <br />runs along the Windsor Polo Club, the concept at the time being <br />to allow a pedestrian and bike path through there that would be <br />open to the general public. We did not give up any rights, and <br />we have the ability to go in at any time to reopen it to traffic. <br />At this point, the Trail has not been closed, however. <br />Continuing, Mrs. Cramer explained that Jungle Trail is just <br />a 5 -minute walk from her home and she is a neighbor of the Orchid <br />Island Golf & Beach Club and the Windsor Polo Club, and had a <br />question about the ownership of the right-of-way through that <br />section of the Trail. She respected the Polo Club's desire for <br />privacy, but felt they can put their fences back off the road. <br />Attorney Vitunac stated that there is no question of our <br />ownership of the road from north to south, but there is some <br />question on the width of the roadway. <br />In conclusion, Mrs. Cramer stated that she still didn't see <br />why that road should be closed to vehicular traffic, and <br />emphasized how necessary that road would be if the barrier island <br />had to be evacuated. <br />49 <br />
