7.12 Authorize staff to proceed with a study and preliminary design to determine if marina side
service infrastructure can be integrated into the parking garage. (consent)
The Clearwater Beach Marina has been in existence since the 1950's. The last
significant renovations occurred in the late 1970's and early 80's. In 2005, the
city pursued a replacement of the docks only at an estimated cost of 8 million
dollars. That project was never initiated.
In October of 2021, due to advanced age and accelerating deterioration of
overwater structures and utilities, City Council authorized the Engineering
Consulting Firm Moffatt & Nichol to begin the design and permitting process to
replace all these components. At that time, the design team was provided the
direction to incorporate resiliency, a vision for a Marina Walk to integrate with
Beach Walk, and to solicit input from the commercial fleet to accommodate
their needs.
The design team held meetings with commercial fleet representatives and
presented the master plan to the Marine Advisory Board in March of 2022. It
must be noted that replication of existing "overwater" structures and equipment
maintained by the commercial fleet is not permittable and in some cases
subject to removal by permitting authorities. The unavoidable biproduct of
accommodating one of the commercial fleet's primary needs, sales kiosks, and
the creation of a marina walk is the projected loss of approximately 40 parking
spaces. Based in part on these discussions and additional staff review of the
overall infrastructure needs necessary to support the commercial operations, it
was determined that rebuilding of the marina without considering upland needs
for supporting services and storage would exacerbate existing deficiencies in
marina operations. A parking garage design developed concurrently or in
cooperation with the marina design would address upland support needs
currently unavailable to the marina project design team, such as storage and a
location for FEMA required elevated utilities.
Moffatt and Nichol will give a presentation on the design and planning exercise
to date, including efforts to incorporate resiliency and means/methods to
accommodate the commercial fleet's needs. Marine and Aviation will be
recommending an option that falls within the current marina replacement budget
for council discussion.
Additionally, Marine and Aviation is soliciting council input and direction on
conducting preliminary research and design for a marina parking garage. If
council authorizes this analysis, the Parking Division will research parking
needs and Engineering would determine the best preliminary design option to
ensure coordination with final Marina Design. Staff would come back to council
with a pro-forma and design costs.
At the October 3 work session, staff provided an update on the beach marina
dock and utilities replacement project and requested authority to expand the
project for the purpose of integrating a parking garage design with marina side
service infrastructure. There was council consensus for staff to proceed with
Page 7
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes October 6, 2022
the study and preliminary design to determine if marina side service
infrastructure can be integrated into the parking garage. Staff was directed to
place the item on the Consent Agenda.
One eComment regarding the cost of the study and who will do the
preliminary design was read into the record (see page 17).
Marine &Aviation Director Eric Gandy said the scope of work for the
design team included interacting with commercial fleet tenants. He said
he regularly meets with the commercial fleet members to seek their input.
He said based on their feedback it was clear that the commercial fleet
was losing access to upland storage, ice machines, and other similar
amenities. Incorporating a garage structure would address those
concerns. The seawall was not part of the original scope. Mr. Gandy said
staff has not held public meetings related to the seawall. The design
team had meetings and surveyed the commercial fleet tenants. The
parallel floating docks were a necessity in order to come back and build a
new seawall seaward of the existing seawall. Most of the feedback
regarding the seawall he received from the commercial fleet tenants was
predominantly negative: created separation between the commercial
tenants and their clients, more difficult to load thousands of pounds of
ice. He said the marina renovation project will be significantly disruptive,-
pursuing
isruptive,pursuing the new seawall now as part of the renovation project will be
better than to come back in five to ten years with another construction
project. The City Manager said he met with the commercial fleet tenants
prior to Mr. Gandy being appointed as Director, many expressed
concerns and supported this type of investment into the marina.
Councilmember Bunker moved to authorize staff to proceed with
a study and preliminary design to determine if marina side service
infrastructure could be integrated into the parking garage. The
motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
