Phase I of the Crest Lake beautification project should be
completed by the end of January. Fill dirt, 4,400 cubic yards,
has been delivered, and as soon 8S the irrigation system i8 in-
stalled this week, 50,000 square feet of sod will be placed. Ten
picnic tables will be installed in the southeast section of the
park, and Mr. Ream Wilson, Parks and Recreation Assistant Director,
will select playground equipment for tbe southwest section of the
park.
Phase 2 of the Crest Lake project is in question at this time.
CETA personnel will be available until September, 1978, but there
1s a question of whether to install a parking area or extend
beautification to the west side of the park. The decision will
be made by the City Commission.
Other landscape projects include Fire Station 07, McMullen
tennis courts, and the Bayfront area.
Mr. Dicus inquired if an attempt had been made to establish
mangrove along Edgewater Drive. Pat Tracy, City Forester, stated
mangrove had been planted at the north and south ends of the Drive,
but due to the tremendous wave action, they had not taken root.
However, the Forestry Division will keep trying to establish
mangrove.
Mr. Tracy asked Committee members for their views on the
.present Street Tree Program. He stated at present the City plants
trees on City 'rig~t-of-way, a portion of land between the street
and sidewalk) at the request of residents at a sharing .cost of
$15.00. The City is proposing this planting be moved to five feet
from the sidewalk onto private property, so 8S to not interfere
with City utilities on rights-of-way. The resident would then
take complete responsibility of tree maintenance, whereas p1ant-
iogs on City right-of-way would require the Forestry Division
maintain trees. Mr. Tracy is in favor of retaining City right-
of-way planting stating the Forestry Division tries to interfere
with utilities as little as possible. After discussion, Mrs.
Sciarra made motion, second by Mr. Snoyenbos, to retain City
right-of-way planting with an amendment ,to kcep the Street Tree
Program even should the City Commission propose planting on privatc
property. Motion carried.
Motion by Mr. Morris, second by Mrs. Phillips, the meeting
be adj~urned. Motion carried.
