Vice Chairman Stanbridge was very upset about what had been done to the midden <br />by Plantation: it was unforgivable and she thought it was deliberate. The $10,000 fine was <br />nothing to them. <br />Mr Michael raised an issue about some exotics which were taken out under staff s <br />direction. He felt the Board was saying one thing but the staff was telling the developers <br />something else. <br />After a brief discussion of how the pines got there, Director Keating stated that one <br />of the requirements of our lease with DEP for the Cairns property is that we remove the <br />exotics. <br />Commissioner Adams pointed out that hardwoods cannot be planted where the pines <br />are because they poison the ground, have a very shallow root system, and are very brittle. <br />Right now it looks denuded. <br />Mr Michael pointed out additional environmental concerns when the rains come. <br />When you put nine feet next to low lands, the water will run downhill and washouts have <br />occurred on Jungle Trail. He pointed out that some residents have only Jungle Trail as their <br />ingress and egress and experienced a problem with last year's hurricane. <br />Chairman Ginn asked staff to discuss this with SJRWMD to get assurances that what <br />is being done in Jungle Trail will provide adequate drainage. It looked to her like it will be <br />a mudslide in some areas. She also asked that staff arrange for her and other Commissioners <br />to see the stormwater management plans for the developments along Jungle Trail. She <br />suggested Mr Michael might like to see them also and that he be contacted. <br />11.A.2 REQUEST TO RESCIND RIVER ISLAND PLANNED <br />DEVELOPMENT (PD) PLAN APPROVAL (Quasi -Judicial) <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 28, 2001: <br />March 6, 2001 <br />108 <br />BX ii 7 r 367 <br />
