General Business
Architect Peter Pollack of Pollack Design described the characteristics
of Park and Marina Plans A and B. Sketches of the plans were available
for viewing. Comparisons of the two plans were presented in terms
of the proposed land layout, location of the marina facility,
parking, size and number of slips, distance from bulkhead to end
of piers, walks and terraces, pier ingress and egress points,
handicap access, amount of cut and fill, boat movement patterns,
bulkhead design and view corridors.
Comments from the audience focused on more desirable and less
desirable features of the two plans. Plan A has more single side
tie-offs (along the outer edge of the outside pier) than Plan
B. These side tie-offs were thought to be less desirable. Plan
B was thought to provide for more boat length.
Additional comments from the audience involved the following issues:
the size of the band shell; possible congestion in the park and
with traffic arising from the location of the band shell; the
ability of either Marina plan to handle large boats, and the location
of the docks in relation to the Ward Brother's gas dock. Plan
B was given a clear majority by Council, DDA, and the audience
in a show-of-hands vote.
Council and DDA commented individually on their thoughts.
Motion made by DDA member Jeff Porter and seconded by DDA member
Alvin Russell to adopt Park and Marina Plan B for recommendation
to the City Council. Motion adopted unanimously.
