Jungle Trail The Jungle Trail runs along the project's southern property line (in two areas) providing a boundary between this development and the Town of Orchid. The Jungle Trail turns north from there as it nears and runs along the Indian River, splitting off a small piece of the development. Thus, the project has significant Jungle Trail frontage, and has frontage on the east and west side of the Trail along the project's westernmost boundary (along the river). Pelican Island Wildlife Refuge (PIWR)_ The project has 4,200 linear feet of frontage on the Indian River and the Pelican Island Wildlife Refuge. The applicant has stated there is a potential for 42 docks and that any docks that may be built would need to be permitted at a later date. The applicant is not seeking approval for any docks at this time. It is the staff's position that the status of the PIWR could affect the riparian rights of owners. As is normal county procedure, the - staff will require documentation in the form of permits before any building permit is issued for a structure which would affect the Refuge. The staff will also enforce requirements that ensure that any mangrove trimming performed to access possible future docks would be the minimum necessary to construct any docks that may be permitted.
