Mr. G. M. Turnburke, Roadside Development Coordinator for the Department of Trans- portation and Mr. Dan Jass. Planner II of the City's COnIDlunity Development Department. The Chairman called the meeting to order at 9:30 AM. The Minutes of February 4. 1981 were approved as submitted with Mrs. Custer making the motion to accept. seconded by Mr. Stepp, carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS The Chairman introduced our first guest, Mr. Milton Turnburke. Roadside Develop- ment Coordinator for the State of Florida, Department of Transportation, to give the Committee some idea of the status of fixing up the Courtney Campbell Causeway. Mr. Turnburke said that there were no future plans for any further construction in the five year program or anywhere else. He stated that there had been a five agency cleanup an the Causeway not long ago but that the DOT Maintenance forces , are being phased out. He also stated that there can be no beautification structures between the little bridge and the long bridge, only before the little bridge. Mr~ Turnburke told the Committee that there could be no beautification of any mag- nitude between the bridges. but that from the first bridge back to the mainland there would probably be no further construction. Mr. Siebenthaler asked if the , ComIDittee could consider recommending attractive ground cover between the struc- tures and was told that that would be permissible, and that west of the low bridge benches and picnic tables could be placed. Mr. Turnburke stated that DOT is getting 'itself out of,the parks and recreation maintenance programs and is performing these tasks now on limited access highways where it can be patrolled. He said that is a State road to which the Committee would have to submit a proposal but that no con- struction is anticipated for that area. Since the safety factor would be a con- sideration, there could be no structures or trees. Mr. Wilson said that whatever is done would involve City manpower and that budget constraints had to be considered. Mr. Voght said that Commissioner Rainey was concerned about this area and established a Committee to study this project. It was 'to be cleaned up and then more extensive beautification was to be done including the installation of irrigation. Mr. Sapp recalled some talk of a combined effort between the City and the County to'accomplish this but that it was probably because 'of manpower that it didn't materialize. Mr. Siebenthaler made a motion that this 'Committee initiate steps 'to see what can be done to improve the visual appearance of, the west end of Courtney Campbell Causeway. seconded by Mr. Stepp, carried unanimously. Mr. Snoyenbos suggested that the Committee leave from here, at the next meeting. and go out to this area so that an on sight review could be made. -1- , " ,~,< ~ .~.~. (~~'. . ," ;":~' "';.

A motion was mnde to that effect by Mr. Snpp. seconded by Mr. Krame and carried unQnirnoualy. Nr. Snoyenbos thanked Hr. Turnburke far coming to the meeting and said that the Committee would look forward to seeing him on April 8th. OLD BUSINESS Regarding the Residential Landscape Beautification Program, Mr. Wilson said that it had received very little publicity. The radio station did an announcement about it but actually weekly or every ten day repeat publicity ie' what is needed. There should be constant reminders in the newspaper with this office keeping 011 applications. Mr. Wilson suggested that we have a form letter made up that can be sent out ack- nowledging receipt of applications. He said that he would make up this form letter and have Mr. Snoyenbos come in from time to time to sign them. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Wilson said that funding for the Bayfront Dock is considered in the 1981/82 budget which would be in October of this year, if funds are available. Mrs. CUBter made a motion to support the Boat House nnd Dock project as outlined in the budget. seconded by Mr. Krame, carried unanimously. Mr, Snoyenbos stated that the old Boat House out at Edgewater before you come to the City limits, south of Union, should also be removed. Mr. Snoyenbos introduced Mr. Jass who spoke of last year's cleanup campaign in the North Greenwood area nnd thanked the Committee for their efforts in that regard. It has been recommended that another cleanup drive be pursued possibly over a three week period. making arrangements for special pickups as was done last year. He reported that the neighborhood housing services program has been ahead with individual members working within the neighborhood. He also said that they are working to beautify Lake Bellevue and were trying to get a program going in Wood Valley. Mr. Snoyenbos thanked Mr. Jass for his attendance at this meeting and said that the Committee would try to help him in his different programs. Mr. Snoyenbos felt that a letter should be sent to the City Manager requesting a status report an the unused bridge on the Memorial Causeway. Mr. Wilson will bring information back to the Committee regarding the Edgewater Drive Dock. Mr. Snoyenbos asked if the Committee would want to stop meeting during the months of July and August or August and September because of the hot weather and vacations but it was decided to discuss this at a future meeting. The Chairman told the Committee that only about ten or twelve people saw the film on the Mini-Parks but said that it could be rented for $75. to be shown at other club meetings. He also said that this Committee will be kept apprised of programs relating to downtown beautification. Mr. Sapp stated that he could arrange to show a short movie of about 15 or 20 minutes duration on the Brooker Creek Park, which is a County park, to the Committee at their May meeting. MrS4 Custer talked of the street ends on the beach. She spoke of a house which is adjacent to the Bruce Street ending. where the water cannot be viewed uny longer from the street and access to the beach at that point has to be gained by going through what is now a private yard. Mr. Wilson said that public access and public view must be available, and told the Committee that he would look into the situation. There being no further business. Mr. Stepp made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 10:50 1~1, seconded by.Mrs. Custer, carried unanimously.- ~.f ~ (: >'\', '.
