Unless you <br />recognize the sender and know the content, do not click links or open attachments. <br />Kristopher <br />I thought I'd share with you some of my observations so you can deal with it prior to submitting your <br />final application. I pass by North Arm Landing four times a day on my way to and from work. I'm not <br />there 24/7. 1 take the info you provided seriously and I would like to share some inconsistencies <br />with you. <br />1. At the start, you indicated that barges typically take 10 minutes and you amended it to 20 <br />minutes. I respect respectfully disagree with you. Please see the photos -and if you like I can <br />send you the timestamp for each photo showing the activity throughout the day for hours at <br />a time for several weeks per project <br />2. Some kind advice to you and your department, if the county does not man the site, you will <br />have to do major repairs annually on this site. Note the steel track on the backhoe, most if <br />not all this started in the last 2 years. <br />3. 1 am including guidelines mandated by OSHA for construction sites. I am in the process of <br />finding out, through consultants, if those guidelines extend to staging sites. As an owner of a <br />marina, where such activity does occur, I have access to webinars provided by the industry <br />that I am including for you, clearly what is happening on that site does not meet any of the <br />minimum standard for best practices. <br />4. Your intention to continue shore fishing availability on the site cannot occur if all the parking <br />on site is occupied by the workers leaving no availability for fisherman. <br />5. If it is deemed that the staging site should be treated similarly to a construction site <br />assurance of compliance will fall upon the city. <br />207 <br />
