Subject: Washington State Ferry site / Property Use proposals<br />
Gentlemen / Ladies:<br />
I have been a <strong>Bainbridge</strong> <strong>Island</strong> resident for 17 years, living in the Port Madison area. My parents lived on the<br />
<strong>Island</strong> for thirty (30) years.<br />
I realize the <strong>City</strong> is currently considering the approach to take with the Ferry site property, the leasing or<br />
acquisition options, and what uses <strong>of</strong> that property will be considered. I write concerning those issues.<br />
I am a very strong supporter <strong>of</strong> a use for the property that will allow for a boat yard. Such a facility is<br />
sorely needed ion the <strong>Island</strong>. The <strong>Bainbridge</strong> community is ties to the water and a huge percentage <strong>of</strong> the<br />
population enjoys boating in all its many forms. There are no facilities for boaters on the <strong>Island</strong>. Other than<br />
the convenience this would involve, it is a financial issue for the <strong>Island</strong>. We currently take our boat repair<br />
and repair and maintenance money <strong>of</strong>f <strong>Island</strong>. <strong>Island</strong> keep that money on the <strong>Island</strong> and reinvested into our<br />
community.<br />
Please consider development <strong>of</strong> a boat yard on the site. Thanks you.<br />
