Commissioner LaBelle asked how about the dock pilings and how many of them would need to be replaced. Inc. 205 NE Northlake Way, Seattle responded by stating that unless the pilings were bored to obtain a sample of the wood, they don't have any way of knowing how many pilings could be reused. The pilings could not be inspected until all the decking has been removed. At that time they would be able to fully evaluate each pile in order to determine its useful life expectancy.

Medina is a neighbor and echoed the fact that the dock is very old and falling apart.
Mr. Davis went on to say that he and his wife are in favor of the project and believe the new dock will be a big improvement. His only request was that there not be too many lights on the dock and that the lighting use is directed down. Mr. Zuvela explained that the actual deck lighting has cut louvers on the inside of the glass casement to direct the light down onto the surface. Mr. Burke recommended that perhaps the lighting should indeed be directed in a downward direction. Commissioner Lawrence had concerns as to the overall square footage of dock space.
