jUN <br />Boor I F,�:UE <br />Commissioner Scurlock made the point that Club Drive bisects <br />the Riomar Golf Course, and Mr. McQueen noted that was built back <br />in a time when people weren't thinking of security as much. <br />Chairman Wheeler believed what John Dean said made sense. <br />This is like a poker game. He noted that the biggest deciding <br />factor in his having to vote is that he feels what they are <br />offering as a developer is a plus. While he personally does not <br />have the emotional ties to Jungle Trail that a lot of people do, <br />he understands and respects their position; but the Commission is <br />here to represent the entire public. Quite frankly, if the Town <br />of Orchid did not exist, and if the developers, which in a sense <br />are the Town, would be interested in working with the county on <br />developing around Jungle Trail, he would be in favor of keeping <br />Jungle Trail the way it is and we would have the leverage to have <br />them subscribe to our Management Plan. He asked Mr. McQueen's <br />feelings about this. <br />Mr. McQueen noted that frankly they probably would not <br />recommend that the developers subscribe to the County's Manage- <br />ment Plan, but he was sure that they certainly would not go in <br />there and strip out the Trail if the Board doesn't approve this <br />plan. He stressed that if the Board does not approve this plan, <br />they do have some serious problems facing them because they do <br />not have a backup plan. A plan which possibly could have the <br />golf course placed so that golfers would be hitting over the <br />Trail, he did not feel was a desirable alternative. They could <br />certainly bridge over the Trail with their entrance road and <br />fence the Trail off through the development and have the security <br />taken care of. Mr. McQueen emphasized that this development is <br />tight; there is less than 400 acres for 400 units and a golf <br />course. <br />Chairman Wheeler noted that his concern is what our options <br />are depending on what we do. <br />Mr. McQueen pointed out that there are developers and <br />investors who have money in this, and they can override what he <br />90 <br />� a � <br />
