TITLE:
Appeal of Decision to Deny Application for Dock Reconfiguration at 209
Via Lido Soud
ABSTRACT:
The Harbor Commission will hear an appeal of the Harbor Resources Manager's decision to
deny the application for the reconfiguration of the dock at 209 Via Lido Soud.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Harbor Commission may:
1. Advise the Harbor Resources Manager to deny the application with current proposal; or
2. Advise the Harbor Resources Manager to approve the current application; or
3. Advise the Harbor Resources Manager to approve the application with modifications.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
DISCUSSION:
At 209 Via Lido Soud George Twist proposes to remove and replace the existing residential
dock. The applicant has submitted drawings for a configuration that would extend beyond the
allowable buildable area. Staff has denied the application because it does not conform to
Harbor Permit Policy. The applicant has appealed this decision according to NBMC
§17.65.010.
The proposal calls out for the structure to extend 30 feet beyond the Pierhead Line, or 10 feet
beyond the allowable area. The Harbor Permit Policy, Council Policy H -1, establishes the
regulation for bayward locations of piers and floats.
Harbor Permit Policy Section Y. Lido Isle. Piers may be permitted to extend out to the
U. S. Pierhead Line, except on the westerly side between U.S. Bulkhead Sta. No. 172
and No. 174. Piers may be permitted to extend 20 feet beyond the U. S. Pierhead Line
between U.S. Bulkhead Sta. No 172 and 174.

There are instances in the surrounding area where dock structures have been built beyond the
existing Policy due typically to previous Policy provisions. An aerial image is provided to
demonstrate the condition of the surrounding area. The proposed configuration may be
considered to be similar to existing structures. (Attachment C)
After review of this application Harbor Resources staff acknowledges that this proposed
reconfiguration does not meet the Council Policy criteria. Therefore, Harbor Commission is
asked to review the application and advise staff.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the Harbor Commission find this project exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1, (Existing
Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3,
because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the
meeting at which the Harbor Commission considers the item).
