OCT 2 41979 41 FAUE MR. MARSH NOTED THAT THE ORIGINAL $60,000 DID NOT INCLUDE THE NORTHERN SECTION OF BOARDWALK, AND PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER EX- PLAINED THAT WHAT THEY NOW ARE ESTIMATING AS THE DEVELOPMENT COST OF THE PARK, EXCLUDING RENOURISHMENT, WOULD BE $75,000. MR. MARSH FELT WE COULD CONCEIVABLY USE SUGAR SAND OUT OF HOBART PARK AND TRANSPORT IT. HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE PUT IN AN APPLICATION FOR THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SEEDLINGS FOR DUNE VEGETATION, WHICH WE HOPEFULLY WILL RECEIVE FREE OF CHARGE, AND NOTED THAT WE COULD HAVE A TEMPORARY STRUCTURE OVER THE DUNES. COMMISSIONER SOY FELT WE MUST DO SOMETHING QUICKLY. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON REPORTED THAT WE HAVE RE - NOURISHED THIS'BEACH ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, BUT HAVE NOT PLANTED ANY VEGETATION THERE. MR. MARSH COMMENTED THAT WE CAN GET SOME LOCAL VOLUNTEERS TO HELP PLANT SEEDLINGS, AND PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER SUGGESTED THAT A SNOWDRIFT SLAT -TYPE FENCE COULD BE BURIED IN THE DUNE TO HELP STABILIZE WHILE YOU ARE REPLANTING. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, IT WAS NOTED THAT TIMING IS A PROBLEM AS A NORTHEASTER COULD TAKE ALL THE SAND OUT, AND MR. MARSH DOUBTED THAT THE SEEDLINGS WOULD BE RECEIVED UNTIL SPRING. HE FELT A TEMPORARY CROSSWALK SHOULD BE INSTALLED. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WAS WILLING TO SPEND $32,500 IF WE CAN ACCOMPLISH ALL THIS. WILLIAM KOOLAGE, INTERESTED CITIZEN, NOTED THAT THERE IS A BAD ELEMENT UP THERE AND FEARED ANY IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE VANDAL- IZED AND DISAPPEAR. COMMISSIONER SOY STATED THAT WE HAVE TWO ELEMENTS UP THERE AND THE ONE WILL PARTICIPATE AND HELP PROTECT ANY IMPROVEMENTS. MR. MARSH WAS OF THE OPINION WE EITHER WILL HAVE TO GO FOR A VANDALPROOF TYPE OF BUILDING OR FENCE IT. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOY, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO FILE AN APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS FOR THE WABASSO BEACH DEVELOP- MENT PROJECT AND AUTHORIZED THE CHAIRMAN'S SIGNATURE. 38 s r
