WHEREAS, the snake Creek Bridge is located within the boundaries of Is/amorada, Village
of Islands (the "Village"); and
WHEREAS, the State of Florida, Department of Transportation (FDOT) regulates the raising
of the Snake Creek Bridge; and
WHEREAS, under the supervision and control of the FDOT, the Snake Creek Bridge is
raised on demand for any boat passing through Snake Creek; and
WHEREAS, the constant raising of the Snake Creek Bridge disrupts the flow of traffic along
the Overseas Highway, thereby causing inordinate delay to residents and visitors; and
WHEREAS, in addition to adversely affecting the flow of traffic within the Village, such
delay poses a constant safety hazard impeding the efficient use of the Overseas Highway
which is critical in the event of traffic or other types of emergencies; and
WHEREAS, such delay easily could be avoided without overly burdening or inordinately
delaying the flow of boat traffic on Snake Creek; now therefore
