Summary

A board member warned that any work in the stream related to the Safe Route 97 project would require state permitting; members said permit requirements and code compliance should be shown on the project plan.

A committee member stated during review that "if you do any work there in the stream, it's gonna require the d DC permits," and other members confirmed that a state permit would be necessary for work close to the watercourse. The board instructed that permit needs be shown on the plan regardless of whether the work meets local code.

Committee member George (who identified himself later in the meeting) emphasized that even if an element can be shown to be "up to code," the plan should still present the permit path and supporting documentation. No new permit was issued at the meeting; the discussion was limited to instructions for plan documentation and next steps for the applicant and staff to verify state permit requirements.
