Cemetery at coastal road to get locational clearance

-
After having complied with the requirements set by the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Cebu Evergreen Memorial Park, Inc. will soon be allowed to renew its business permit.

This after City Planning and Development Coordinator Christine Homez approved its locational clearance, following its compliance in putting up safety devices.

Last January, the owner Porferio Tan applied for the renewal of his business permit. But because Tan reportedly failed to provide traffic safety and warning devices in the area where the cemetery is located, his application for the issuance of a locational clearance was denied.

The Cebu Evergreen Memorial Park is situated along the South Coastal Road.

"Safety devices are imperative to protect people's lives and limbs especially if they are using the wrong lane," read Homez' letter dated January 27 addressed to Tan.

But when the CPDC staff went to check the area three months after, it was noticed that the traffic devices were already installed.

In a report to Homez dated April 19, CPDC staff Albert Obando and Mario Cabigas, of the inspecting team, stated that the devices were "strategically located and can be seen visibly" apart from their being within the standards set by the DPWH.

Thus, they are "highly recommending that the holding of abeyance of the application of the said business venture be lifted off and a locational clearance be granted." - Liv G. Campo
