included: safety and traffic improvements, replacement and enhancement of landscape/hardscape
when necessary, as well as enhancing mobility for the area. The conceptual design is expected to be
completed by the end of 2015. Final concept plans would then be developed into construction
documents, with construction potentially beginning as early as the fall of 2016.
2. OCEAN STREET BEACH ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS – CIP PROJECT:
Kyle Lancaster, Parks Superintendent, presented a slide show on the proposed Ocean Street Beach
Access Improvements project, which includes seven public beach accesses along Ocean Street, from
Oak Ave. to Rue de Chateaux. Project goals include increasing the visibility and aesthetics of the
beach accesses, improving public safety and general accessibility/circulation, as well as enhancing
vista points by providing seating and replacing benches and trash/recycling receptacles. A public
input process on the concept plans for the project is expected to commence in the fall of 2015
3. COMMITTEE MEMBER DISCUSSION:
State Parks Report – North Coast Sector Superintendent Robin Greene was absent, State Parks Report
provided by city staff Kyle Lancaster, Parks Superintendent:
– Tamarack Beach Bluff Restoration Update - Since January 2015, when the project was
implemented, many of the plants have grown, filling in the bare areas of the slope, improving
the overall appearance of the Tamarack and Frazee State Beach coastal bluffs. This area is
under regular maintenance of a city landscape contractor, which monitors the health and
condition of the plants and provides any necessary care as needed.
Ocean St. Parking Lot – Starting October 12, 2015, the parking lot will be reconfigured to
improve public safety by accommodating a 5’ wide walk on the bluff side of the parking lot. In
addition, the entry to the parking lot will be widened, and an additional handicapped parking
stall will be installed. The parking lot improvements should take no more than four days to
complete and will require closure to vehicles.
