Commissioner Girling recapped the various meetings at which the Lower Castaways
project has been presented. He mentioned that with the DFW he was able to make
some connections to further discuss the Marine Protected Area (MPA). Additional
comments regarding the project included reducing the volume of onsite parking so the
lot is not a destination for all day parking or Mariner’s Point shoppers. The site may
need additional landscape screening to block out traffic sound. Jim Mosher added that
parking is also provided at Upper Castaways. Girling noted that Crissy Field in San
Francisco is noted for natural landscaping and parking, and that effort should be made at
Lower Castaways to ensure a low impact environment.

Commissioner Girling will discuss the project at the May 14, 2014 Harbor
Commission meeting and at an upcoming City Council Study Session in May or
