Dock C Public Workshop

May 16, 2013

Six Recommendations
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Carefully consider all viewpoints. Review Moffatt & Nichol Report. Consider Structural Refit. Preserve Open Water. Do not obstruct Promenade Park view. Include a Public Dock.

1. Carefully Consider All Viewpoints

Viewpoints Include:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Current Slipholders Coronado Taxpayers San Diego Boating Community Promenade Park Users Glorietta Bay Users Unified Port of San Diego

2. Review Moffatt and Nichol Report

Complete dock replacement not required.

Moffatt and Nichol Report says:

Structure, pilings, gangway, platform, hardware, electricalall good condition. Deck boardsworn, but easily replaced.

3. Consider Structural Refit

as recommended in Moffatt and Nichol Report

Moffatt & Nichol Recommendation

Structural Refit $200,000 - $300,000
Tighten bolted connections Recondition brackets Replace decking Consider IPE wood 20 year+ service life

IPE Deck Boards Very Attractive

IPE Deck Board Properties

Beautiful Strong Smooth Long-lasting Insect-resistant

Structural Refit Benefits

$300,000 instead of $3,000,000 No loss of rentable linear feet Minimal regulatory approvals necessary Beautiful IPE wood instead of concrete Indefinite lifespan with proper maintenance
(Coronado Yacht Club has always had wood docks)

4. Preserve Open Water

Important to active Glorietta Bay users

City of Coronado slide. Area in purple is reportedly designated as Developable Water Area in Coronados Local Coastal Plan.

However, the same area is designated Open Bay in the Port of San Diego Precise Plan for Glorietta Bay.

Coronado LCP should match Port Plan.

5. Do Not Obstruct Promenade Park View

Open Water views of Glorietta Bay are obstructed from the yacht club to the swimming pool, except at Promenade Park

The ONLY remaining Open Water view is from Promenade Park

6. Include a Public Dock

Glorietta Bay is an ideal location

Public Dock Uses

Access to the water for individuals
From Promenade Park

Small boats
kayaks, rowboats, Sabots, etc dinghies from A5 anchorage boats

Visiting yachts
Passenger drop-off and pick-up access to Coronado / business district dock and dine etc Overnight stays - for a reasonable fee

Public Dock Location?

At this indentation in the Promenade Park seawall?

Newport Beach has 11 public docks

Public Access to the water is a good thing!

Burton Chace Park, Marina del Rey

A Public Dock can be attractive!

Consider All Viewpoints

1. Current Slipholders
Might appreciate structural refit with IPE decking? Already have $7 million in marina assuming State does not repay CDA loan Another $3 million for Dock C is a lot of money Structural Refit with proper maintenance 1/10th the cost with much better ROI

2. Coronado Taxpayers

Consider All Viewpoints

3. San Diego Boating Community
Will appreciate a Public Dock, paid for by Port District? Will appreciate preservation of the park View Corridor

4. Promenade Park Users

Consider All Viewpoints

5. Glorietta Bay Users
Will appreciate preservation of open water Will appreciate a public dock Public Dock consistent with Port charter.

6. Unified Port of San Diego
