1 miramar beach resort and bungalows project 2 - Santa Barbara ...

1 I'd like to add that there are two other
2 bridges that are nearly adjacent to the Miramar
3 property, both of which have been discussed in legal
4 documents as being "structurally deficient" or nearly
5 structurally deficient.
6 Where the 101 crosses Oak Creek, that is
7 declared to be one of two state bridges that is -- I
8 think the term is structurally deficient, and I wrote to
9 the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments
10 about it, and apparently, if I understand correctly it's
11 within one point of completely structurally deficient.
12 And then add to that, South Jameson Lane
13 crosses Oak Creek. That bridge, I think, was built in
14 about 1946. It's identical twin was across the highway
15 on North Jameson Lane. That bridge was replaced in
16 2001, and according to the MNS engineering schedule at
17 that time, it was commissioned by the County that
18 bridge -- the primary reason it was replaced was because
19 it was built of a metal that is no longer in use and
20 it's not a very reliable metal and it was old and
21 structurally deficient.
22 Well, it's twin now sits on South Jameson
23 Lane which is that contorted ramp that leads to the 101.

25 addendum, and I think it's a serious safety issue that
