Mr. Beene expects that the city will reimburse him for the damage caused. In addition, the document says, 'Mr. Geoffrey Beene, whose property is along Beach Road, has also indicated that this alternative would be unacceptable. In a letter attached to the FA, Keith Ahue, chairman of the Board of Land and Natural Resources, forwards the comments of the DLNR's Division of Aquatic Resources on the project. The damaged roadway also poses a threat to public safety, and represents a potential source of erosion if not repaired. As noted earlier, though, safety is only an issue if the road is reopened, without being repaired, to vehicles.
Pedestrian safety seems well assured for years to come.
The concerns of Geoffrey Beene were set forth in yet another letter from his lawyer dated June 16, 1994. The repairs are absolutely essential as a matter of public safety and to preserve the structural integrity of Mr. Beene's home on the road. In that same June 16 letter, Pucci once more set forth other reasons for Beene's wanting to get the road repaired quickly. Work is tentatively set to begin in December 1994 and will probably last two months. Repair of the road will entail tearing down the existing road, excavation of 850 cubic yards of earth, and construction of a new retaining wall 78 feet long and from 18 to 22 feet high.
