BCC AGENDA <br />May 17 2016 <br />ITEM 14.A (1) <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners <br />DATE: May 6, 2016 <br />SUBJECT: Proposed Oyster Bar Marsh Trail <br />FROM: Commissioner Bob Solari <br />We have a great opportunity to pursue another recreational trail similar to the <br />Lagoon Greenway, located in the south county area near Round Island Park. The <br />County and the Indian River Land Trust have approximately 126 acres available <br />for establishing a trail and related facilities at Oyster Bar Marsh. <br />There is another 11 acres that could be incorporated into the project with the co- <br />operation of two landowners. <br />The preliminary anticipated cost of the project is $347,000 with the Indian River <br />Land Trust committing up to $100,000 for the design and construction of the <br />project. <br />The project would qualify for a grant from FIND, which may cover up to 50% of <br />the County's costs for development of the trail system. <br />A report from the Indian River Land Trust for the proposed trail project is <br />attached. <br />Thank you. <br />73 <br />
