Finally this morning, after a series of postponements for bad weather, we were able to attend the meeting held at the Civil Engineering OO.MM. to discuss the safety of the Cala S. Mary.
The work set for 11.00 began at 12.30 with a staff of Eng. Viviano as the same was engaged in 'other meeting.
Our delegation was composed by the writer from Caminita Vice Mayor, Council President Cannilla, and the Directors Badagliacco and Caserta.
The collaborator of Eng. Viviano has explained the bill drafted by the Office, that I attach to this (cost around 12 million euros), to secure the Cala S. Mary and while we expressed our disagreement in this work the Engineer oncoming Viviano to which we have further explained that with this project, while putting in the Cala safely, never to be allowed to enter the "port" of hydrofoils and catamarans as any commander in poor condition, having only 50 meters of mouth, would have risked an input with a subsequent "exit" very dangerous if not impossible, even the ship would have had trouble mooring in the presence of a slight breeze from both East and West by South.
So this project, for commercial traffic, surely it would be derogatory to the current situation, among other things, having the structure in the mouth to form a "funnel" the tides that would have occurred in the Cove would be like "pot that boils. "
We have shown, then the project approved by the City Council, explaining the benefits this would bring to the Island and the port system in general.
The answer of Eng. Viviano was: "... technically it is almost impossible to carry out works to 40 feet deep and that would have cost exorbitant (about 250 million euros)" and went on to remind us that "there is a negative opinion of the Superintendent that is binding on all the ridge ( Crescent-Borzì-Ferrara) because there is a landscape plan and there being also of Posidonia (on the section of the breakwater) do not permit the introduction of any work. "
At that point, given the negative news that we were notified, our delegation unanimously proposed the establishment of a technical (conference service, with the prefecture, the Maritime Authority, the Superintendent, and many others interested in order to address this issue and define thus avoiding the ping-pong between competence and the other).
It 's absurd, in fact, in our view, that a landscape plan, although valuable, but also refinement and / or the poseidonia a community have to run the daily risk of damage to people and things and to stop forcing your development.
Eventually, better illustrating the potential of the Cove, before the construction of "Sailem", and incorporating our. expectations for the future of the Island Eng. Viviano we proposed a system of docks "floats" with the tie rods anchored to the bottom (so less invasive under water) of the type made to "Monte Carlo" where even within the same has been made parking at 4 levels: the whole course scaled to our needs.
A new project, then, comes to life: that of floating docks is on the tip Crescent - just breakwater (1 st phase) - and another on the tip "San Francisco" which should be reunited with the existing one (ex-mermaid) so close, as the old plan of the harbor, almost completely Cala S. Mary and then the dock "Sailem" would be usable on 2 sides - inside and outside - construction costs 25/30 million.
It is therefore asked to prepare a "draft" than envisaged in order that the "local politics" go by "regional policy" to find the funds for that purpose.
Presented the new draft project by the Civil Engineering Department, will be launched by the municipality on "technical panel" (conference services).
So far, these "words" spoken and heard.
If it is true whatever the Cove should take almost a mouth structure of the old plan of the port (I have externalized - meeting ended - my personal skepticism about the issue because I can not understand why now all this does not was discussed and had not thought of that!).
The important facts of today are:
a) it is prevented from creating additional works that still would not solve our problem;
b) that should finally get together - I do not know when - a table with ALL stakeholders including the Superintendent, the Prefecture.
I hope I was clear in the exposition, if not or if some other point I missed, please speak to the other participants.
So I had a duty to relate both to the City Council that elected me, is for people who sin 'now we have followed this issue, both for future reference.

COMMENT:
From California Augustine Caserta
We can only express satisfaction with the first major results obtained so far by the Commission marinas'. All this reminds me of the days of Mayor Anne Favaloro Notarbartolo who always said: "WHO WANTS ANDA! AND WHO DO NOT WANT TO SEND .. ". And it 's what she was doing when the simple "cards" and rhetoric could not resolve certain issues of importance for the country. The Baroness was going to meet these bureaucrats personally, did you listen to, even if the case by beating his fists on the table, and obtained everything 'that could be obtained within the limits of common sense and the law.
Without the large "dust" raised on the site over the past few months on the problem port system 'and Molo Spalmatore probably all would sleep .... Instead, as a result of what ', as the first important result emerged from the recent meeting, we know that the design of GCOM lengthen the pier Taormina no idea it would be a happy in every way, and that the City Council has rejected all' unanimity ', and' was discarded!
That there was a negative opinion of the Superintendent to the arm leaving the Crescent is not 'a big news', it was known (see speech by the Mayor of usticasape of July 1, 2011). In response to the Maritime Civil Engineering Works, because you can not 'more' to arm the outgoing in question because 'there are dissenting opinions mentioned above, they came out with the first easy solution at hand, easier and less expensive , and that means' stretch the Molo Taormina ..... (Which would bring incalculable harm to the Port for ever).
I still can not understand the fact that the Superintendent and 'contrary to the arm leaving the Crescent (the one approved in the Council), should investigate the subject and find out if this view and' binding and final.
The reality 'is that certain bureaucratic institutions and bodies must lay everything out with tongs and pliers ..... "and thank goodness that it' was done with determination and resolve of Salvatore Militello and all members of the Commission . It 's true: "the occhiu patruni ngrassa ru' u cavaddu".
The result and fact 'that the GCOM Ing.ri cornered will slide out from the sleeve and the second solution that is' "floating docks" ..... and why' question arises whether there is a third even better solution. I'm not an expert but I believe: that they are welcome to floating docks from the two bits with the current wharf berths Sailem usable for both inside and outside! A dream come true. Now we must not give up, because 'this is only the first round. Thanks to all the members of the "Commission marinas. '" In this regard we would like to hear the opinion of Eng. Manzitti (the daughter of Mariella).
