I'm OK with the sketch / concept.  I like the graphics to help portray the ideas. 

QUESTIONS:

 

1. How high is the 3rd 10' section from the ground (15-20'?) - it looks way too high, but I realize the vertical scale is probably exaggerated? 

 

2.  I'm wondering about the steps, and the upper observation deck right next to the trail level?  Does this replace the current steps from the trail to the level ground area?

 

3. What impact will the Phase I deck have on the current level ground area that is vegetated and has a place for picnic table and cooking grill?  Could we dispense with the Phase I and go right into stretching into Phase II from the natural ground surface? 

 

4.  Can we do it without aggregating the entire level site?   

 

5. What is going to happen to improving the steps to the current dock, and the condition of the current dock?  Leave as is?

Attached please find a conceptual diagram showing a

proposed CLEAR Observation Deck off the Cheat Lake

Trail, above the CLEAR Dock near the Cheat Haven Hiking

Trail.  This Deck is 12 feet wide with a 10 foot long section

on land and three 10 foot sections extending out above the Lake.

Initially, we may only be able to build two of these three.

Now is the time to ask questions, make suggestions, and/or

give your approval.  Next, we will review the plan with a couple

builders, to get a price and possible schedule.
