USER NOTES:

This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Greenways Ecological and Recreational Trail Project. This dataset has low accuracy, because it is used primarily for mapping and general location only.

Pursuant to Chapter 260.0141 Florida Statutes: The Opportunities as illustrated by this data layer are intended to establish an informational framework for voluntary participation by citizens, private property owners and all levels of government subject to the following limitations:

  1. The data does not require or empower any unit of local government, regional government or any state agency to impose additional or more restrictive environmental, land use or zoning regulations.
  2. The data may not be construed or cited as authority to adopt, enforce or amend any environmental regulation or statute, zoning, or land use ordinance or any other rule, regulation or ordinance by any subdivision of local, regional or state government.
  3. The data may not be used as the basis for permit denial; imposition of any permit condition; or application of any rule, regulation or ordinance by any subdivision of local, regional or state government.
  4. Government agencies may not reduce or restrict the rights of private owners as a result of private lands being identified by this data.
  5. No private lands will be considered as designated greenways or trails pursuant to Section 260.018, Florida Statutes, unless the owner of such lands has voluntarily and explicitly agreed in writing to such designation.
  6. The reliability of this data layer is limited by the resolution and timeliness of the underlying data and information.
  7. Identification of named, existing or proposed public lands is solely for planning purposes and not for regulatory purposes. The actual line delineating the boundary of such properties is as designated by the applicable state, federal or regional agency which boundary for all purposes shall take precedence over any mapping as contained herein. Better sitespecific data, if available, for any features or resources shown on this map should be used to identify whether any such resources are, in fact, present on that site.
