Mr. Al Rogers opened the meeting introducing Max Battle, City Engineer. Mr. Battle displayed a graph of the Edge- water Drive property and stated all parcels have now been secured by the city except the southerly Bradham-Brown Tract, which is still under negotiation. Howeve'r, Mr. Battle reported that on a few of the parcels, there are restrictions such as no picnic tables, grills, etc., being allowed. It was questioned as to the particular time that ~his project could .be started. Mr. Battle felt that the report shoulg b~ filed with Tallahassee before any work can be done. This will be at least March 21, when the next meet~ng will be held. It appears that Ta~lahassee, at this time, is in favor of the plan. Mr. Battle will follow ~p, on this report. Mr. Battle felt that riprap would be the appropriate substance to place along the bulRhead line. He stated that when .beautification begins, sod should be placed immediately behind the'riprap and towards Edgewater Drive. Mr. Battle was requested to survey this bulkhead line. "", " . " It was mentioned that a site plan for the proposed beautification be started immediately. Up~n the completion of this site plan, there is the'possibility that the Cuban Laurels, now located around. city Hall, could be placed along Edgewater Drive as called for by the site plan. The remaining beautification, inclUding items such as sod, flower beds, etc., would wait until such time as the riprap is in place in order that heavy trucks and vehicles would not cause damage. It was further felt that the placement of the riprap should start at the south end of this drive and move north. It was questioned if by placing the Cuban Laurel trees an~ other shrubbery around,' if this would block the view of the water. It was decided this would add to the beauty and not detract from the vision. ,\ " ;.4.,,~ . .' ",," , :< \.: i:" :,... ,.. ~: " ," :':;,:;,.,_..>. . .
