direction and intent for the use of these properties. All work tinder this project is to be
consistent with the groundwork that has already been laid, Therefore, additional rounds of
public meetings are not envisioned as a part of this scope.
B. Jungle Trail itself has a long history, including a good bit of public input during the last 10
years or so.
1) Some controversy was associated with the "Maintenance Map" prepared in the 1970'x.
a) Now, the County only has a prescriptive right-of-way for the actual roadbed, and a
few drainage swales.
b) There is a 30' wide landscape buffer associated with the Trail.
2) Jungle Trail is promoted as a linear park, and managed as such.
3) Most adjacent developments have their ingress/egress other than to Jungle "Grail.
However, there are some property owners who depend on Jungle Trail for their only
access.
4) While an appropriate surface treatment is needed to reduce erosion and sedimentation,
and to minimize ongoing maintenance requirements, it was determined that this anti
other long-term strategies for Jungle Trail would not be addressed until the master
planning and construction of improvcnients under this project were successfully
completed. Such planning work may be provided as Additional Services tinder this
consulting agreement at a later date.
5) It was agreed that U.S. [lark Service standards would be much more appropriate than
those of the FH WA and FDOT (the intrinsic resources should be enhanced and protected,
not destroyed by applying uniform highway standards).
G) Visual continuity of the whole Trail is an important component of this project. Signage
used along all of Jungle Trail, and facilities used at each separate site should be of a
unified thermic. It was agreed that a "turn-of=the century" look would be appropriate.
3. Review of Existing Plans
A. Dorn has plans for:
1) Kiosk
2) Restrooms
3) Observation tower
4) Boardwalks
B. 'rhe County has plans for the observation tower used at Round Island
C. Mans prepared by Robin Lewis (described above) are available l'or review.
D. Dorn will provide a copy of the rX4etl€iVe Summary ol'the Pelican Island National Wildlife
Refuge Conceptual Plan fiir Visitor Facilities.

E. Paul has plans from Blue Cypress Recreation Area [Etat could be adopted,
F. While design work under this project may be basal on one of the above, the f inil produce
will be a new design, meeting all current code requirements (rather than simply re -using an
existing set of drawings).
Environmental Issues, Permitting
A. Lengthy discussion centered on permitting strategies. whether or not work under this project
should be combined with the other environmental permitting associated with habitat
restoration.
B. The final decision was to handle permitting of each site separately, without combining them
with tate habitat restoration prosect.
1) By permitting each site separately, the thresholds will be lower, and easier to meet.
C. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service anticipates wetland permits for habitat restoration to be in
hand by this time next year.
S. Archeological Issues
A. A good bit of work has already been done in terms of archeologicallhistorical inventory.
B. Work under this project will take into account the findings of the prior archeological
services.
C. Florida Bureau of l-listoric ['reservation has areas " tied down". Commissioner Stanbridge
will provide master site file numbers.
D. Our only scope of archeological services will be to have Bob Johnson (and his staff)
available during [lye construction phase should any finds be made,
6. Site Development (utilities, access, pavement alternatives, stormwater management
A. Septic tanks and drainfaelds will not be an option.
B. Sewer and water service will need to be provided at each site.
C. Some discussion centered on the possibility of using shallow well(s) for service at the
Surman site, and providing water treatment (water must be of potable quality from
lavatories). However, it was agreed that the best solution most likely be to extend a water
line from the Kennedy site.
D. Since the surface treatment of JungleTrail will not be addressed, all sites will be accessed
from an unpaved road. However, Jim Davis was insistent that some type of surface
treatment was needed for each access road and parking drives (rather than using a motor
grader). He indicated that reports he has read state that more water quality problems arise
from unpaved roadways than those with surface treaumean. It was noted that perhaps
manufacturers of innovative alternative paving systems would he willing to provide
significant price reductions considering that their systems) would be considered as proto-
types for consideration as eventual solutions for Jungle Trail.
E. Grassed parking is the preferred type of tri atmertt for individual parking spnces.
F. Access for the north end at the Kennedy site will be across lion the Sea View entrance (to
avoid the acute angle it (lie north end of Jungle `frail). Although[ access will be planed this
way, it may be implemented [luring a subsequent phase of construction, with aeccss to the
Kennedy site being from directly from Jungle 'frail.
C. Infiltration of stormwater should be encourage([. Grassed swales would be appropriate,
although native vegetation is desired. (Note: vegetated swales may be considered for use.)

7. Architectural Features
A. FEMA base flood elevation + 6" is required by Indian River County. Therefore, stun wall
construction is envisioned to avoid excessive fill requirements.
B. Structures will meet 130 -mph windload standards.
C. Florida Vernacular style will be used. "fin roofs and Flardic-plank horizontal siding would be
appropriate.
D. Both ADA and Title 2 requirements must be stet.
E. Class "A" material will be used (fire-resistant), due to the remote nature of the sites,
F. Average Daily Use numbers are required to properly sizc the restroom facilities. Note: Most
likely, the restrooms will be small, with only 1 toilet on the men's side, and 2 on the
women's side (due to "Potty Parity Act"),
G. Restrooms will be CBS construction.
1) Self -ventilating
2) Screened to keep insects out
H. Crews bring cleaning supplies with them -no need for storage inside restroom buildings.
1. Each site will be bated at night (controllcd access dawn `till dusk)
8, Other Design Features
A. A cohesive signage package will be developed under this project.
B. Landscape enhancements consisting of native vegetation will be a part of each site
development package.
9. Budget
A. Indian River County has $700,000 budgeted for construction costs through ISTEA funding.
B. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has approximately $200,000 budketed for construction of-

3) Boardwalks
4) Access ramps and pathways
C. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has separate monies budgeted for:
1) Access loop road from the Kennedy site to the Surnan site
2) Road from AIA into parking at Kennedy site
D. Total construction cost budget is close to $1 million
E. Budget for proressional services (approximately $150,000) is separate from that for
construction costs.
