JUL 2 5 689 <br />BOOK ll F'AGE 410 <br />multi -family project, they could have driveway isles and they <br />wouldn't have to have right-of-way outside of their paved drive. <br />A lot of these waivers would not be required if they had gone <br />strictly multi -family, and this gives the County a little more <br />control over how they develop. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that some people understood that <br />this project was exceeding the allowable densities, but as staff <br />has pointed out, that is not the case. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked about the buffer along Jungle <br />Trail, and Mr. Boling explained that they would have a 35 -ft. <br />setback along the Trail, and of course, will have to comply with <br />the Jungle Trail Management Plan when they come in with their <br />management plan which is under review right now. <br />Commissioner Bird had hoped that somehow the County could <br />have acquired the western tract, because in looking at the map in <br />the Jungle Trail Management Plan, we are going to be in desperate <br />need of some public parking areas throughout the Trail if the <br />public is really going to enjoy it and have the use of it.

His clients are not at all happy with that because it is <br />a deviation from the common rule, and it should not be. His <br />clients have been through a 2 -year process of obtaining permits <br />28 <br />
