MAR 131990 79 F' E 531 <br />to allow them to get through. Their intentions are outlined in <br />the following paragraph taken from their "Fax" transmission <br />letter dated March 5, 1990: <br />r� Work on thi s <br />portion of 512 would commence the day before filming. <br />We will employ Florida Highway patrol and/or County Sheriff's <br />Deputies to assist us in slowing down approaching traffic during <br />preparation and overnight to ensure traffic safety. On the day of <br />filming, we will -require a closure of the road for a maximum of <br />six hours, beginning at approximately 2s00 PM for rehearsal and <br />filming of the stunt. We would also employ county personnel in the <br />removal of the project and any cleaning and restoration which <br />might be incurred, as well as indemnify and hold harmless the <br />County and its employees, as is our standard procedure. u <br />The Administrator had some concern about closing 512 off for <br />4 hours, but felt it can be done. <br />Commissioner Bird agreed that closing 512 for a minimum <br />amount of time would be the main concern. It is a remote road, <br />but unfortunately for those who travel it, there aren't any <br />alternative routes. <br />Mr. Sanchez, Locations Manager from Paramount Pictures, <br />assured the Board that they are aware of that concern and do want <br />to minimize the amount of time the road will be closed. He <br />advised that the period of closure will have to happen in the <br />late afternoon/early evening hours so they can catch the "magic" <br />of the Florida orange -gold dusk light. <br />Chairman Eggert felt that it would be wise to have a sign <br />warning of the closure some distance north on 512 to turn people <br />back before they get that far because once you get that far, <br />there is nowhere else to go. <br />Mr. Sanchez noted that it was suggested that they place an <br />ad several days in advance announcing that the road will be <br />closed for that period. <br />Chairman Eggert agreed an ad will be helpful, but not <br />everyone reads the newspaper; so, she felt there also should be <br />signs further north on the road to give people a chance to go <br />another way. <br />Mr. Sanchez confirmed that signs are part of the plan, and <br />they have been in touch with a local sign company. <br />26 <br />
