MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler for discussion, to <br />approve the final plan that would allow staff to proceed <br />with the design, considering provisions for a shelter, <br />permitting and construction of the Oslo Road Boat Ramp <br />Facility. <br />Vice Chair Bowden wanted to know if they could move the grant funds to 45th Street. <br />Discussion ensued with comments by the Commissioners regarding "prop scarring" and <br />Chief DeBlois suggested there be some specialized enforcement. He agreed both ramps needed <br />improvement, and stated that it was just a matter of what level of improvement the Board wanted <br />to provide. Chairman Wheeler suggested that a rope of clearly marked buoys be placed in the <br />Channel. <br />Jens Trippson, 2525 14th St., was concerned with the cost to mark the Channel, stating <br />that it would not prevent sea life damage. <br />George Kulczycki, Environmental Consultant with GK Engineering, mentioned that sea <br />grass prop carving could occur with or without the boat ramp. He pointed out that although the <br />45th Street location would be a good site for the ramp, some fill would be needed along the <br />roadway and this would also have an environmental impact. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and by a 1-4 <br />vote (Chairman Wheeler, Vice Chair Bowden, and <br />Commissioners O'Bryan and Flescher opposed), the <br />Motion FAILED. <br />April 17, 2007 23 <br />
