Carole Wong, speaking as a waterfront owner, not an original owner, has a Level 1, non-conforming planter box header board. She commended the staff stating that what is taking shape now, she can see where owners have had input, taking shape and having a result at the end. She strongly supports the policy as proposed and the enforcement of Level 3 versus Level 1. The hold harmless is no longer part of package but she does not understand the specifics about the encroachment permit. She stated that remediation of even Level 1's could be encouraged to bring back into compliance by waiving permit fees. Pete Hughes, stating he has a Level 1, does not have a boat dock but when seeking grandfathering, asked if he should put in an imaginary boat dock in the plans or building a boat dock right away. Lyon explained the easement question, the public hearing will address the fees issue, and stated that the intent of the policy going forward is to establish the process, document and record the existing condition for grandfathering, with a different process for future development Council comments included that continuing communication would be important throughout this process. Recommendation: Staff requests that the City Council review and comment on the Redwood Shores Lagoon Bank Policy & Construction Guidelines ("policy") as recommended by the Planning Commission at their June 21, 2005 and September 20, 2005 meetings. Furthermore, staff requests consideration of the removal and/or modification of existing improvements that have been classified with "Level 3" significance and recommends that those properties that have been identified with "Level 1 " significance as outlined in the Waterfront Inventory be "grandfathered"; thereby allowing these properties to retain their improvements upon the recordation of an Encroachment Permit. Council Members expressed support for the policy. MINUTE ORDER 06-31 B.
