3. BEACH SEATING WALL
Mandi Roberts with Otak discussed the current issues regarding the beach seating wall. There
are problems with changes in the high water mark, and undermining of the footing of the wall
and beach erosion. There are several options for a cutoff wall that would mitigate this, including
a poured in place wall or an ecology block wall. There are also revetment options that would be
less expensive but also less permanent. Mr. Fereday inquired about the use of a jetty as a
possible solution. That idea will also be explored. Mandi and Betsy Roberts will be meeting with
IDL today to discuss options and possible permit requirements, and will keep the Board
informed regarding this.
4. PARKING LOT DESIGN

Mr. Peugh displayed a drawing of the parking lot that was created to meet City code and to use o
maximize parking for cars and boat trailers. The plan allows for �,q� and
includes landscaped screening. Winter snow storage would be along the north side. There was A-Milek.S
a discussion about lengths and widths of parking stalls, and aisles. There was also a discussion
that maximizing the parking eliminates space for future sidewalks on Fir Street. It was discussed
that striping could be revised in the future if it is determined that sidewalks, curb and gutter are
needed in that area. Michelle Groenvelt reported she had looked into the issue of a possible
easement at the south end of the lot, and found there is no easement there. An easement
would be desirable to create a formal pedestrian access from the south end of theitparirtowards
the beach. lot
