12.A.2. FOLLOW-UP REPORT ON STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR A <br />SUBMERGED LANDS LEASE OR REMOVAL OF STRUCTURES FROM BOAT <br />CLUB ISLAND (FOLLOW-UP TO 12/16/08 AND 2/10/09 BOARD ITEMS) <br />Chief of Environmental Planning and Code Enforcement, Roland DeBlois, <br />presented background on the request for authorization for staff to apply for a submerged lands <br />lease to retain the southernmost dock on Boat Club Island, and for staff to proceed with removal <br />of two of the three docks, and with repairs of the southernmost dock. <br />(Clerk's Note: Administrator Baird rejoined the Meeting at 12:46 p.m.) <br />Chairman Davis favored application for the Lease to retain the southernmost dock <br />on Boat Club Island, but was concerned that there was no guarantee that we could replace the <br />docks in the future, once we remove them. He preferred soliciting a bid to replace them all, and <br />analyzing our options before we preclude ourselves from ever having those two docks. <br />Commissioner Solari agreed with Chairman Davis and wanted to get three bids if <br />possible: one to keep the long dock and remove the two others; the second one to keep all three; <br />and if the short dock looks as good as it does in the picture, it could be as cheap to fix it as it is to <br />remove it; therefore the third bid would be to keep the southernmost dock. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan said they could probably designate the short dock as a <br />kayak and canoe dock and put a lower step on it; and maybe erect a sign that read "canoes and <br />kayaks only", so power boats do not enter there and run aground. <br />Chairman Davis thinks this is an asset we will not be able to duplicate if we do <br />not take steps now to move forward. <br />March 17, 2009 23 <br />
