Project Update – October 2009

At a May 14, 2007 neighborhood meeting, county staff and project consultants (PBS&J) presented the proposed dredge footprint design and cost estimate to the benefiting property owners.

Following that meeting, a Project Unit Approval Petition was mailed to the 270 property owners. In order for the project to proceed, 67 percent of the benefiting property owners must sign, notarize and return the petition to the county. 

The number of required petitions to move forward is 181.To date, 102 petitions have been received.

On April 8, 2009, staff met with representatives of The Inlets and Fairwinds to discuss the project and the lack of support from residents of Fairwinds. The property owners asked staff for clarification on several issues. A representative of The Inlets is attempting to schedule a follow-up meeting to be attended by staff and Fairwinds residents.
