a <br />Commissioner Adams MOVED to approve; there was no second at this time. <br />Chairman Stanbridge pointed out this project has been worked and reworked. It is <br />a very ambitious project with all the partners involved. <br />Commissioner Ginn asked the extent of the cost to the Utilities Department, and <br />County Engineer Chris Kafer advised that the Utilities Department will pay for the 6" force <br />main that runs about 7300 feet along AIA; he understood they hope to recoup that through <br />future connections. Mr. Kafer continued to respond to questions and understood that there <br />will be gates close to Jungle Trail that will be locked at dark. <br />Chairman Stanbridge advised that maintenance will be turned over to USF&W who <br />will also patrol the area. She also recounted how she wrote the grant that brought the seed <br />money for this and other enhancement projects to the County. She stressed the money <br />paying for this project is not from the County's dollars but from Federal grants which could <br />have gone to another community. She felt this will be a magnificent project. <br />Mr Kafer then did a presentation with graphics displayed on the overhead and <br />described the various improvements made in the area. He described the locations and the <br />improvements planned at each site. At the Cairns site at the south end, there will be a <br />circular entry drive with 11 parking spaces on a porous pavement. He described how this <br />porous design is constructed which they hope will be fairly maintenance -free. There will <br />be a restroom which meets ADA requirements, a guest cabin which will be placed on a <br />foundation, drainage improvements, wetland mitigation, a kiosk, and landscaping. Some <br />of the live oaks and cabbage palms were eliminated from the landscaping plan as a cost- <br />saving measure on all three improved sites. Moving north to the Sherman site that also has <br />the porous pavement with 14 parking spaces and 36 grass parking spaces, drainage, and <br />landscaping.
