In the process, a considerable amount of the native undercover vegetation and trees have been severely damaged or removed within the protected corridor. We refer to a section of the staff action letter dated July 10, 1989 which sums up the agreement to alignment as follows: #2 that the applicant dedicate "absolute fee simple" 25' (from centerline) of road rights-of-way, and that the applicant dedicate conservation tracts and grant the remaining proposed buffer easement to the county for vegetation preservation uses along the prc.6 er_t's entire Jungle Trail frontage and that the language establishing said area ensures that the Jungle Trail Management Plan "protected areas" provisions are met or exceeded where applicable. The Jungle•Trail Comunittee of the Indian River County Historical Society regrets to report that the protected area provisions have not been met. In fact, recent inspections by county commissioners, county staff, and committee members indicated flagrant abuses have occurred within this protected area. 44
