FROM: Tideland Affairs Committee SUBJECT: REVISIONS TO CITY COUNCIL HARBOR PERMIT POLICIES (H-1) Recommendation: If desired, approve the amendments to Harbor Permit Policies (H-1). (•-^t`�` Background: 1. The Tideland Affairs Committee (T.A.C.) initially reviewed Harbor Permit'Policies (H-1) on October 23, 1984 and recommended that the policies be amended as shown by the capitalized, underlined, and. crossed -through sections. (Attachment A). 2. The City Council subsequently reviewed T.A.C. recommendations during the study session of November 12 and during the November 26, 1984 evening meeting. The policies were referred back to T.A.C. for review with representatives of Trautwein Brothers, Gillis and Derby and other interested individuals for further clarification. 3. Mayor Maurer and Mayor ProTem Ruthelyn Plummer met with interested marine construction business owners and discussed the recommended policy changes on December 6. A follow-up meeting with the Marine Director and Public Works Director was held on December 11. Dificur,gion: The proposed amendments to the (H-1) policy are for the purpose of strengthening City administrative procedures on maintenance/construction work on private piers and floats. The amendments provide for more de- tailed Standard Drawings, increased field engineering inspection, and both Engineering and Building Safety Department plan reviews, depending on the nature of the work. Marine contractors expressed concern that occasionally homeowners have hired independent carpenters to do maintainence work on their respective piers and floats without acquiring the necessary City permits. When marine maintainence /construction work is done without a permit the possibility exists that the homeowner may be having work done that does not conform to City standards. In order to mitigate these potential problems, the T.A.C. requested the City staff to follow through on: r l � • 2 -_ Page 2 (r-, 1. Notifiying all harbor permittees by letter that the Council Harbor Permit Policies require: a. A City -issued harbor permit for: maintainence work over $200, float or pier configuration revisions, and new marine construction work. b. Marine contractors and/or Harbor Permit holders doing their own work with hired employees should have appropriate insurance coverage. c. All marine contractors and marine maintenance businesses should have a valid City business license. 2. Updating the "Standard Drawings" for publication in the Public Works Construction Manual for review and adoption by the City Council in the spring of 1985. 3. Reviewing with the T.A.C. the advantages and disadvantages of the Marine Department implementing an annual safety inspection of all piers and floats in the harbor. 4. Explaining to marine contractors the necessity for bulkhead permits being approved by the Building Deprtment because of their location on private property vs. public property (tidelan,ds), and the fact that bulkhead designs are dependent on upland uses and building proximity.
