FLORIDA GEOGRAPHIC DATA LIBRARY DOCUMENTATION

TITLE: GREENWAYS TRAILS PRIORITIZATION PROJECT PADDLING TRAILS PRIORITIES - 2004 

Geodataset Name:       PDPRIO_2004
Geodataset Type:       SHAPEFILE
Geodataset Feature:    POLYGON
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: 




This dataset contains paddling trail opportunities prioritization results from the Office of Greenways and Trails Prioritization Project. The original paddling trail opportunities were identified in the Office of Greenways and Trails Implementation Plan adopted by the Florida Legislature in 1999. The Florida Greenways and Trails Council approved the trail prioritization results contained in this dataset in May 2004. Paddling trail segments include only those trails not already designated or part of the Florida Circumnavigational Trail.

USER NOTES:







GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.













Following prioritization, a determination was made that these segments should
be classified as "high" due to the legislative designation of the Statewide
Saltwater Circumnavigation Trail (Florida Statutes Chapter 260).

This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Office of Greenways and Trails Trail Opportunities Prioritization Project Report, June 2004. (Prioritization of Recreational Trails Opportunities for the State of Florida) Pursuant to Chapter 260.0141 Florida Statutes: Planning materials, maps, and data and other information developed or used in the Greenways and Trails Program shall not be construed as designation of lands as part of the statewide system of greenways and trails. Identification of lands on this map shall not:


1. Require or empower any unit of local government, or any state agency, to impose additional or more restrictive environmental, land-use, or zoning regulations;


2. Be construed or cited as authority to adopt, enforce, or amend any environmental rule or regulation; comprehensive plan goals, policies, or objectives; or zoning or land-use regulations;


3. 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, or;


4. Be construed or cited as authority by any governmental agency to reduce or restrict the rights of owners of lands so identified.


The buffer distance used on the trail data was 2 kilometers.













A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or
modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best
available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the county level.

1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base 
mapping such as property parcel boundaries.

1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the multi-county or regional level.

1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should 
be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with 
your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:
