From: Tom Kuniholm Sent: Tue 9/28/2010 3:32 PM Subject: RE: Washington State Ferries Settlement Offer Meetings I can’t attend the meeting tonight, but as a boat owner and architect/planner, I strongly support a new state of the art, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, LEADING EDGE haul-out, fuel dock, pump-out boatyard waterfront use, as there is a dire need for one in central Puget Sound. It would be very economically viable and historically was the use there before being eliminated by the WSF storage. There is much energy going into improving the environmental standards of the manmade world on land, but there is great potential in this regard to improving the standards for the boating world. It would be natural for Bainbridge to be leading the way on the water. Water taxi too. Best, Tom Tom Kuniholm, AIA A r c h i t e c t
From: tom kane Sent: Thu 9/30/2010 11:05 PM To: Council Cc: Tami Allen; tom kane; Mark Leese; Sandra Davis; David Lynch; Dave Ullin; Ross West Subject: CC mtgs- Ferry System offers Hi City Councilors; I would like to make some personal coments regarding the Citizens input meetings and where we are now. Bob and Debbie did a great job getting the most information possible from the meetings. The people on monday were interested in taking land only except for Barry Peters transient Marina did get six votes. Debbie had Mr Pappijani (?sp) give a presentation on a boatyard on the land site. He talked about getting financing, taking business away from their Seaview west yard, Costs and property shape and that he would require a much lower lease based on business profit. Phil Maher also gave a pitch for a wooden boat school there. Both the Boatyard/ Haulout and woodboat school would be good for the site and Island but do not seem likely during the current economic situation. Barry’s Marina program is well researched and will be good for the City and fits the money amount. There was much discussion about getting money plus land and bargaining with the Ferry system. There also was some concern about losing the money option by trying to negotiate or stand up to the Ferry system. One person offered $100 towards getting help for negotiating, eight other people offered to join him and he raised his offer to $500. Some of the people at the meetings have been working on this for years, there was a lot of passion and squeaky wheels. It would be nice if this could be related to the twenty three thousand citizens of the island. The only way to placate some of the people at the meetings is by further negotiation. We do not have enough information at this time to make decisions. Where do we go from here. Has someone talked to our Olympia Representatives about if our only option is to let the Ferry System (Mr Mosely) dictate to us. It seems that with current attempts to control Ferry System costs and the possibility of them having to outsource maintenance could affect their ownership of the property, but not likely. They will always need space for some maintenance and the tieup of some ferries. It is a perfect property for them. But they could certainly do with a smaller parking lot for the employees that work at this site. The rites granted by the Washington State Shorelines Hearings Board in 1974 stated public use of the land for perpetuity. I think we should get the state looking a little harder into why this Covenant is not being honored. I believe the land they offered is a narrow strip on the west side, that won,t work for a Boatyard. We should ask for a boatyard size piece, with access that won’t be effected by Security changes. Maybe we can end up with the narrow strip. IN NO WAY SHOULD WE GIVE UP THE MONEY. I know the Harbor Commission is ready to help you in any way that we can. Please let us know how..
