In addition, <br />mitigation would be Tess for the wetlands. <br />Commissioner Wheeler asked what the down side on this would <br />be, and Director Davis said that the only down side he sees is <br />some additional engineering to shift the alignment and update the <br />engineering to accommodate the new right-of-way. He felt this <br />alignment would be better with respect to connecting with the new <br />bridge. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized <br />staff to go ahead with the new alignment, and <br />authorized the appropriate engineering. <br />Director Davis advised that he would bring a new Amendment <br />#3 back to the Board at a later date. <br />51 <br />JUN 7 1988 <br />Boor 72 PAGE 550 <br />
