Through its evaluation of properties along Jungle Trail, FDOT's consultant determined that the area <br />encompassed by the proposed multiple property district has significant archeological resources and <br />qualifies for National Register designation. At the present time, only one property is being proposed <br />for designation as part of the district, but once the district is established, future properties (including <br />several that FDOT's consultant evaluated as part of this project) will be incorporated within the <br />district. <br />National Register designation of the proposed district will provide acknowledgment of the <br />archeological resources in the area, enhance eco -tourism opportunities, and benefit the County in <br />other ways. Initially, only publicly -owned properties will be included in the district. Subsequently, <br />archeological sites on privately -owned property may also be included. <br />For the past few years, Commissioner Stanbridge has worked on this project, first as the County <br />Historian and recently as a County Commissioner. She has assisted FDOT's consultant on this <br />work, reviewed the proposed application, and supports submittal of the application. Staff has also <br />worked with FDOT throughout the project, reviewed the submittal, and supports the application. <br />Staffrecornmends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to submit the Jungle Trail <br />National Register application to the state Historic Preservation Office for consideration.
