Description

New viewing platforms have been installed along the trails on the north side of Blakey Harbor. I looked for building permits on the City’s website, but could not find any. I figure since these are public platforms, building permits would be required. I did find a shoreline permit, which I believe is expired - at least 4 years have gone by since it was issued. And within that permit (SSDP15197) it specifies that revised plans must be submitted - were these ever submitted? And that the platforms require grating and to be set farther away from the high water mark. The platforms do not have grating and look like they are right at the water’s edge. And they are made of pressure-treated wood! Not ideal for such an ecologically sensitive area.
