Re: Stage 2 -Stillwater Flood/Retaining Wall Project
Dear Mr. Crump:
In view of the issues involving the payment of damages and relocation costs for tenant
owned personal property located on City property in the Project Area, the City would like the
Corps to consider an insignificant design change.
Currently the design of the levy wall is to wrap almost completely around the north face
of Mulberry Point. It appears that if the Levy WaII were shortened, the project would avoid
displacement of the Stillwater Yacht Club's gas dock facilities and in this way, avoid the issue of
paying relocation costs or damages for relocating this facility. We understand that the specifics
of the design change would be left to your staff and we trust that you would do so in the best.
interests of the project.
Respectfully requested,
