I <br />JUN <br />2'i <br />1989 <br />BOOK <br />77 <br />Commissioner Eggert asked <br />if staff had meant for <br />the <br />Michaels to quit using their A -1-A exit and go back on Jungle <br />Trail, and Planner Boling stated they had not. <br />Commissioner Bird believed the Michaels do not use Jungle <br />Trail, but Gordon Michael believed they will have to use it soon <br />because of the growing traffic on A -1-A. <br />Mr. Michael advised that he is speaking for the Kennedys, <br />and the other grove owners, besides the Liers, feel there are a <br />lot of concerns. He did not see why the public should have to <br />change the road just to suit a few and have their golf course <br />where they want it and extra houses. His grandfather was <br />originally a Commissioner and was founder of Everglades National <br />Park. He believed it has been said that there have been so many <br />compromises made that it is killing that park. He would <br />certainly hope the Board would not compromise with this but <br />rather leave the road where it is and let the developer work some <br />way out to get around it. <br />Commissioner Bird believed that all the Commissioners are <br />concerned about the ability of the citrus growers to use that <br />road and get their product to market; however, our Public Works <br />Director feels the proposed road will be an improvement. <br />Mr. Michael noted that he does not have the Public Works <br />Director's experience, but the Director does not have his <br />experience with citrus, and he is telling the Board that it won't <br />work. He also again contended that this area is not at all as <br />shown in the pictures presented today. <br />Chairman Wheeler commented that the only construction he has <br />seen when he has been there lately is to the west of Jungle <br />Trail, and he did not see anything cleared on either side of the <br />proposed realignment, and Mr. Michael noted that obviously the <br />Chairman sees it differently than he does. <br />Jean Bertram of 1264 George St., Sebastian, came before the <br />Board to read a letter written by Vicki Nichols who was out of <br />town. Ms. Nichol's letter emphasized that the Commission has <br />78 <br />� e s <br />
