That existing <br />R/W comes through Lot #42, and they oppose that staff recommenda- <br />tion. He felt it is not hardly fair to give up what they are <br />proposing to give to the County in exchange for an abandonment <br />and then the county actually doesn't abandon it. He emphasized <br />that it is not a matter of shifting that lot around; they would <br />have to give up that one lot. That is a decision the County has <br />to make as well as deciding on the use of the 4 acre tract they <br />are proposing as a conservation easement. <br />Mr. McQueen then addressed the historical character of the <br />Trail and displayed an excerpt from the tax maps showing Jungle <br />Trail as it presently exists, the old route of Jungle Trail as <br />taken from a 1920 R/W deed, and showing the limits of Orchid Isle <br />development and where groves have been removed. Mr. McQueen <br />noted that some comment was made about whether there was a <br />mistake in the 1920 legal description leaving a gap, but he <br />contended that legal description was meant to be from beach to <br />beach and did not believe that has a big affect on what they are <br />proposing. <br />Mr. McQueen informed that Board that Mrs. Bunnell told him <br />that her father, R.

He believed with the realignments that have been <br />done, that what they are proposing will only enhance the scenic <br />character of the Trail. He contended that the northern portion <br />of the Trail is different than the portion to the south. <br />Mr. McQueen stated that he did receive letters of no <br />objection from grove owners. Tom Kennedy sent a letter of no <br />objection; another letter of no objection was from the Liers, and <br />they also have such a letter from Pryor Groves. He noted that <br />the letter of objection that the Board has in their backup <br />material is from Earring Point Groves, and they have not accessed <br />Jungle Trail for their grove operation for about 20 years; their <br />access is from A -1-A. Mr. McQueen advised that they are still <br />S <br />56 <br />
