APR 11 1989 ROOK 76 P cE 5 m There being no others who wished to be heard, Chairman Wheeler closed the public hearing. Chairman Scurlock wanted to try a Motion that we adopt the management plan as submitted to us by staff with the changes that staff has made in reference to the lighting and the other language presented. In addition to that, he would like to modify the language under the realignment section to allow a broader basis for any realignment by tying that very specifically to that so it could not jeopardize the integrity of the historical nature of the Trail. He also wished to change the opacity requirement to 60% and allow the trees and plants to be dispersed through the 30 -ft. area as opposed to just a hedge -like effect. He also wished, at the request of Mr. Dean, to add to the management plan the restrictions on lighting to make sure that the lighting is compatible with the trail. A fourth item would be that instead of having the roadway donated or -given fee simple, it be donated right-of-way. Commissioner Eggert asked if Commissioner Scurlock would consider allowing some carefully controlled maintenance, but Commissioner Scurlock didn't wish to modify the plan any further at this time. He felt the proper approach, in terms of the opacity issue and maintenance, would be to modify the plan as we move along, because he believed we really should move towards some sort of structure that allows not only for the policing, but also some ability for staff to actually issue a permit for any major modification to vegetation along there. Commissioner Scurlock believed we should move the plan ahead today, get it adopted, and then modify it as we move along. Commissioner Eggert asked if his Motion included any requests for variances coming to the Board of County Commissioners, and Commissioner Scurlock agreed to add that to his Motion. 51
