REST ROOM CONSTRUCI'ION CITY A1 NORTH BEACH AREA MTG. 12/8/92
CITY Mc DEPT. PER
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
If it is Council's direction to proceed with the construction of the rest room, staj
recommends that it be considered during the preparation of the 93-94 Capit;
Improvement Program (C.I.P.) budget.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On August 11, 1992, Council authorized staff to proceed with a design of a block typ
rest room facility with consideration to include additional stalls for women. Accordinglj
staff contracted with the Dahlin Group Architect Planners to provide a rest room desig
and cost estimates for a 350 square foot block building on a concrete pad that include
a sewer pump, retaining and crib walls, landscaping, and additional rest room facilitit
on the women's side.
Staff determined that the most suitable location for the rest room would be on the blu
area, between Pine and Walnut Avenue, east of the seawall, adjacent to the existir
shower structure. The subject area is under the jurisdiction of the State Parks ar;
Recreation Department. Staff also contacted the Coastal Commission for their inpu
Based on their preliminary review, the Coastal Commission staff indicated that thc
would not be able to support the rest room at the proposed location because t
disruption of the bluff face, visual impacts, and the requirements for addition
protection devices (crib and retaining walls), and sewer line issues.
It is staffs opinion that the city should not be deterred from the Coastal Commissic
initial response which is both negative and predictable. Staff believes the City can obta
the appropriate permits, although it likely will require an appeal to the Coast
Commission. Staff also does not anticipate difficulty from State Parks or the Corps 4
Engineers in securing approvals for a rest room facility.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Council on August 11, 1992 authorized $18,000 from the General Capil
Construction funds (Acct. No. 300-820-1820-3412) to be used for design purposes. r
date, $1,800 has been spent for architectural consulting services.
