Summary <br />Widening of the existing boat launch ramp, upgrading the docks (and including lower-entry point(s) for <br />kayaks/canoes, upgrades to the parking lot such as new lighting, upgrades to the restroom, and preparation of a <br />DBW grant application for this work. <br />Description <br />Preparation of contract documents, competitive bidding, and construction as follows for the boat launch ramp at the <br />Marina: Widen the existing boat concrete launch ramp to allow wider access for boats to enter and exit the water. <br />Replacement of the existing floating dock and piers with a dock that features a lower entry point for kayaks and <br />canoes. Replace and add new light standards to increase lighting in the parking lot. Rehabilitate the existing public <br />restroom to match Cal-Coast architectural design. The project is eligible for Department of Boating and Waterways <br />(DBW) grant funding. The project budget includes preparation of the DBW application and a feasibility report. The <br />grant application requires a legal description of the project area, cost estimate, scope of project, list of restricted <br />uses, engineering feasibility study, launch fees, economic justification and analysis, and photographs. Grant funding <br />approval process is approximately 2.5 years based on the DBW application schedule. <br />Justification or Benefit of Project <br />The development project being proposed by Cal Coast includes a major redevelopment of most of the land in the <br />immediate vicinity of the boat launch ramp, but does not include any upgrades to the ramp itself. If approved, the <br />immediate vicinity would have a new aquatic center and small office building, with more of the public anticipated to <br />utilize the boat launch ramp. Upgrading the ramp would integrate well with the proposed land-side development, <br />complimenting the proposed new uses. The DBW grant allows for rehabilitation to existing boat launch facilities <br />(including the general area that the launch is located). Staff would propose to replace the existing docks and include <br />a new low-entry point for kayaks/canoes; replace rip-rap on either side of the ramp; possibly widen the ramp so that 2 <br />boats could launch simultaneously; replace the fish cleaning station; and upgrade the restroom facilities <br />Consequences of not doing the Project <br />The proposed land-side development is anticipated to have a larger draw of the public to this area. It would be ideal <br />to have an upgraded public boat launch ramp to compliment all of the other new development in the immediate <br />vicinity.
