First Avenue, Room 406 <br />Miami, FL 33131-3050 <br />Re: Public Notice 10-99, Bridge Permits <br />Lost Tree Village Corporation <br />Dear Ms. Smart: <br />On July 6, 1999, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners voted <br />unanimously to request that the United States Coast Guard deny the application by Lost <br />Tree Village Corporation to construct three bridges and numerous docks in an area of the <br />Indian River used heavily by boat traffic, skiers, and manatees. <br />Historically these channels have been considered as public waterways by the federal <br />government and transferred to the State of Florida as such. This designation was <br />reaffirmed with the Legislative Act of 1917. <br />Application #10-99 proposed by the Lost Tree Village Corporation will restrict, prohibit, <br />and deny the public use of these channels and will be in direct conflict with the rights of the <br />general public. <br />If my office can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. <br />_ Sincerely, <br />BOARD OF COUNTY CCDM USSIONERS <br />By Z7tctV'Zt— -L�, e <br />-Irenneth R.
