___
1 - Cabinet LEVERRIER presents its project to support the O.G.S. Omaha
After hearing the presentation of the project, having debated it, the City Council instructs the Mayor to write a summary of the opinion expressed and to transmit it to the Sub-Prefect of Bayeux
OPERATION LARGE SITE
The diagnosis established by Cabinet LEVERRIER on the current state of the landscapes of the landing site in Vierville generally collects the consent of the members of the Municipal Council, especially since it takes up elements put forward by the Elected themselves.
But the support project, described as ambitious by the authors, does not arouse the enthusiasm of the majority of municipal councilors.
The space available in Vierville is scarce; the topography of this western part of Omaha Beach requires the Elected to carry out many activities on small areas, and often at the same time. Where the promoters of the project propose to free up the space, the City Council asks that this space remain accessible to all; where the promoters reason at 15 or 20 years, the City Council would like to work on the next five years because if the municipality has succeeded in protecting this cramped territory, it must remain alive by its economic activity, its current habitat form, its traffic lanes and its parking areas, the attendance of its beach by sedentary or holiday families, the attendance of the place by tourists in search of "physical" contacts with this historic high place.
Focus only on artificial wear,
Spread the memorial space,
Forgetting the enhancement of the fortifications of the Atlantic wall would lead to the creation of a beautiful empty shell.
From the start of the classification operation, the City Council supported this project to preserve a unique site that it had been demanding for several years but always insisting on the need to maintain life there, or even to intensify it in its surroundings.
No calculation of the cost of the four stages of the program could be advanced but whatever the possible funders, won't it be disproportionate? The City Council of Vierville wishes to see it registered in reasonable proportions, guaranteeing the feasibility of the work in a shorter time and the articulation between all projects born of the O.G.S. or previous:
· Development of the space between Rue de la Mer and CD30, the bottom of Rue de la Mer and the surroundings of the artificial port walkways;
· Redevelopment of the surroundings of the US National Guard monument with removal of vehicle parking on this space;
· Develop "the threshold" consisting of the junctions CD 30/CD 514 and CD 514/CD 517 thus creating a beautiful West entrance door to Omaha Beach;
· Support the creation of a large memorial museum on the site provided at the P.O.S.;
· Make the remains of German fortification visible and accessible;
· Create a reception area for long-term parking of motorhomes;
· Create the pedestrian path (registered in the P.O.S.) between the Bourg and the Beach;
· Keep mini-golf and bicycle rental well established near the future greenway but improve parking nearby and in particular that of fishing vehicles;
· Open a Tourist Office,
· Resize the boat dock;
· Build a rescue station well integrated into the site;
· Find ways to ensure the safety of users and residents of Boulevard de Cauvigny and widen the sidewalk, on the sea side, in its western half.
It is therefore the only program of time One that is validated by the City Council of Vierville, enriched as stated above. The disappearance of all air networks is necessary as soon as possible.
The City Council had decided to wait until the end of the site's classification operation to undertake the revision of the P.O.S. He will feed his reflection on it to, without a doubt, confirm his desire to maintain the preservation of the spaces noticed in the diagnosis (an unconcreted green valley, plateaus that remained devoted to agriculture, a very little urbanized seafront) and intensify urbanization on the outskirts of the village and south of CD 514.
Helping the visitor to read the landscape so that he can find and understand the course of the battle of June 6, 1944 and the start-up of the American logistics that followed, welcoming seaside tourists in the best conditions, helping local commerce to make the families who have made it their professional activity live and therefore maintain life all year round in Vierville sur Mer, a village that keeps its soul, are the objectives set by the City Council of Vierville with the work to accompany the classification of the Omaha Beach Site. He hopes to be heard from local authorities and State Services without whose help nothing can be done.
2 - The Mayor informs the Municipal Council of the letters received from Mr. AULOMBARD's lawyers who contest the deliberation of October 13, 2005.
The City Council, taking into account a probable challenge before the courts, authorizes the Mayor to take advice from a lawyer and, if necessary, authorizes him to go to court to defend the interests of the municipality.
3 - The Mayor informs the City Council that it will be necessary to acquire a plot of 225 m² (on AH 59) to create a turning area at the end of the road serving the subdivision.
The net selling price proposed by the owner, Mrs. GINET, is 2,000 euros. The City Council accepts this prize and instructs the Mayor to sign all documents useful for this acquisition, including notarial deeds.
