Summary Fact Sheet APPROVE 5-0 Tera Meeks, Chief of Waterfront Management Programming,
explained the bill. She noted that the
Restrictive Easement was designed to prevent any large-scale development in
the area; the U.S. Navy was active in the area and a restrictive easement
minimized any kind of accidents. The
City maintains the area with passive activity such as trails; it is also
necessary to keep any kind of development at a minimum or non-existent to
insure the necessary darkness that meets the needs of the Navy for its
training of simulated carrier landings.
Matt Schellhorn, with the U.S. Navy at NAS Jax, provided further
explanation and fielded questions. |
