OW �r'�? EOOR 77 NORTH JUNGLE TRAIL MAINTENANCE MAP Assistant County Attorney Collins reviewed the following with attached newspaper clipping from July 1978 which references workmen clearing R/W for the "county road" northward from the Wabasso Bridge: TO: The Board of County Commissioners FROM: W4.- William G. Collins 11 - Assistant County Attorney DATE: June 20, 1989 SUBJECT: North Jungle Trail Maintenance Map At the direction of the Board, the County Surveyor has prepared a survey of Jungle Trail from C.R. 510 to A1A, the portion of Jungle Trail commonly referred to as "North Jungle Trail". The survey depicts a baseline with measurements to either side of the maintained trail at 100 -foot intervals. The maintained right-of-way varies generally between 16 and 21 feet, although it narrows below that 16 -foot dimension occasionally (see Stations 348-350 on Sheet 9 where the road narrows to 14/15 feet), and at one point the road is only 10 feet wide (see Station 303 on Sheet 7). The filing of a maintenance map duly certified by the Chairman and the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners reciting on it that the road has vested in the County by virtue of its construction by a County and the fact It has been maintained or repaired continuously and uninterruptedly for four years by the County constitutes prima facie evidence of ownership of the land by the County, and the road Is deemed dedicated to the public to the extent and width that has been actually maintained for four years. In the event the County subsequently determines to realign and/or close a portion of Jungle Trail pursuant to the criteria set out in the Jungle Trail Management Plan, such closing of Jungle Trail should be legally described by reference to this baseline survey of the maintenance map. That is, the applicant for closure or realignment of the trail should utilize the baseline survey to determine at what station the realignment departs :.from the existing alignment, and at what station it returns, plus or minus the exact number of feet from any station. RECOMMENDATION That the Board authorize the Chairman, by his signature or the maintenance map, to certify that the road shown thereon, North Jungle Trail, was constructed by the County and has been maintained or repaired continuously and uninterruptedly for four years by the County, and that the road shall be deemed dedicated to the public to the extent and width that has been actually maintained for four years, and that the road has vested in the County by means of intenance map provisions of Florida Statute 95.361(1):nd=RivtrCM Approved Admin.
