8.N. PROVIDING GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES FOR OSLO ROAD AND OSLO <br />ROAD BOAT RAMP IMPROVEMENTS, DUNKELBERGER ENGINEERING & TESTING, INC. <br />WORK ORDER No. 3, IRCPROJECT # 0381 <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis recapped his memorandum of March 28, 2008, <br />and updated the Board on this matter. He acknowledged that in addition to replacing the boat ramp <br />at the east end of Oslo Road, the project would consist of paving 2,000+ feet of Oslo Road, and <br />adding paved parking. He told the Board that the public has objected to filling-in the ditch <br />(because of the small fish that breed in it), that they do not want the road paved, and that they <br />wanted the parking spaces for boat trailers scaled back to ten or twelve. He said that staff met with <br />the Corp. of Engineers and they said that if we want a permit by September, (which is the grant <br />deadline for when permits need to be issued) it would be an uphill battle, and that we would not get <br />the permit by September if we leave the project as is. He asked the Board for direction. <br />Vice Chairman Davis said he would like public access to the river through an <br />adequate boat ramp, and that the existing ramp is not safe. He did not feel that the road needed to <br />be paved, and suggested removing the "NO PARKING" signs so that people could park along the <br />road. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan requested Director Davis to show the aerial of the eastern <br />part of the property so he could reflect on the high ground that consists of mainly exotics. He <br />thought it could be cleared and expanded for up to seven boat trailer spots, which he felt would <br />minimize the wetland impact, and hopefully allow for the permit to be issued. <br />Discussion ensued between Director Davis and the Board regarding permitting, the <br />one-half acre minimum threshold, and reducing wetland impacts. <br />12 <br />April 8, 2008 <br />
