develops around and over the existing Trail, then the historic character could be greatly diminished. In staff's opinion, approval of the request would greatly enhance the scenic value of the Trail and would meet the Management Plan review criteria; the historic character of the Trail as a whole would be better preserved than if development is placed around the existing Trail in a manner that would greatly change the natural character of the Trail. Approval with conditions offers access control, buffering a scenic conservation area, and a significant degree of coordinated joint County/Town control of the Jungle Trail corridor in the project area; all of which can better preserve the historic character of the Trail as a whole. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners make findings that each of the Management Plan realignment review criteria are met and recommends that the Board authorize the Chairman to sign the attached resolution approving the abandonment and realignment request upon the satisfaction of the following conditions: 1. That the legal arrangement for obtaining dedication of the proposed rights-of-way and the granting of easements and buffers and conservation tract(s) to the County be approved by the County Attorney's Office prior to final effect of the abandonment; 2. that the applicant dedicate the proposed road rights-of-way and conservation tracts and grant buffer easements to the County for road, drainage, and vegetation preservation uses along -the project's entire Jungle Trail frontage and that the language establishing said areas ensures that the Jungle Trail Management Plan "protected areas" provisions are met or exceeded where applicable; 3. that the applicant grant to the County and the Town of Orchid a conservation tract and buffer areas between the proposed new Trail and S.R. A.I.A. (except for an area around the project's entrance road not to exceed a total width of 2001) and between the new Trail, and the project's south property boundary located east of the existing Trail, for purposes of preserving vegetation; 4. that the proposed 30' "habitable building setback" instead be established and granted to the County, as a buffer area, allowing only preservation of existing vegetation and the location or construction of: a. vegetative plantings, b. fences or walls located at least 10' from the inner (Trail -ward) boundary of the 30' buffer, C. golf cart and/or pedestrian paths; 5. that the applicant grant 5' wide limited access easements (can be in conjunction with buffer easements) to the County along the project's entire Jungle Trail frontage, except where there are existing approved driveways and the proposed project entrance road and golf maintenance vehicle driveway; 6. that the applicant have in place historic information and original alignment markers and that the applicant grant to the Town and County an easement enveloping the, original roadway alignment location such that the building of struc- tures within the easement is prohibited and the prohibition is enforceable.
