HE HOPED TO GET NOTIFICATION WITHIN THREE WEEKS AS TO THE PERMIT ACCEPTANCE, AND THEN THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW WILL SEND OUT THEIR PAPERWORK. MR. MARSH WAS HOPEFUL TO HAVE THIS IN TIME FOR THE FEBRUARY 6TH MEETING; THEN THEY COULD DEVELOP FINAL CONSTRUCTION DETAILS, TALK TO THE CONTRACTORS, AND POSSIBLY GET STARTED IN LATE MARCH. HE CONTINUED THAT FOUR CONTRACTORS HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN CONSTRUCTING THE TEMPORARY WALKOVER,AND THEY SHOULD BE RECEIVING THEIR PROPOSALS WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR S0, AREA. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT INQUIRED ABOUT THE SAND PROBLEM IN THE SENIOR PLANNER MARSH REPORTED THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON THE BASIS OF UTILIZING COUNTY SAND FILL, EQUIPMENT, AND TRANSPORTATION TO RENOURISH THE BLUFF LINE. HE HAS CONTACTED A NUMBER OF AGENCIES TO HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE ULTIMATE AIM IS TO PUT IN A BLUFF LINE THAT IS SOMEWHAT LESS STEEP AND RENOURISH THE UPPER PORTION OF THE BEACH. MR. MARSH COMMENTED THEY MAY HAVE TO PURCHASE SOME COARSER SAND TO MIX IN WITH THE SAND THEY GET FROM HOBART, AND THEY ARE WORKING WITH THE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE TO INSURE THAT THE BLUFF LINE IS STABILIZED TO GET IT TO HOLD VEGETATION. HE ADVISED THAT HE AND ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS WILL BE MEETING WITH MR. MCCULLERS REGARDING A WELL FOR THE SITE. COMMISSIONER DEESON URGED THE SENIOR PLANNER TO GIVE TOP PRIORITY TO THE CONSTRUCTING OF THE,WALKOVER AS ELDERLY PEOPLE, IN PARTICULAR, NEED A WALKOVER. COMMISSIONER DEESON ALSO ASKED MR. MARSH TO GET BACK WITH THE CONTRACTORS IF HE DOES NOT HEAR FROM THEM SOON. COMMISSIONER Loy SAID SHE SHARED THE SAME CONCERN. MR. BALL, OF PEBBLE PATH EAST, NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE POLES USED FOR PARKING WERE MISSING AND CARS HAVE GONE OVER THE BLUFF. HE INQUIRED IF THE COUNTY IS LIABLE IF THE SOIL GIVES AWAY, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS ADVISED HIM THE COUNTY WOULD NOT BE LIABLE.
