UPDATE 5/16/2017: About 45 Midcoast residents attended the workshop. Also in attendance was a representative of the property owner, AHK International Ltd, Ridgegate Apartments. The applicant, local architect Ed Love, fielded questions. County staff took notes to be included with other public and staff comments in a follow-up letter to the owner/applicant.
The applicant described the project as a “boutique” hotel, meaning upscale and pricey. Regarding parking, he acknowledged that practically speaking, the 13-unit hotel would require 13 guest spaces and 7 for staff. Existing plans show 7 spaces on site, and the applicant proposed leasing 13 additional spaces off site in the neighborhood, with valet parking.
UPDATE 6/20/17: Workshop summary
Army Corps Surfers’ Beach Final Report
The final report on the US Army Corps of Engineers Northern HMB Shoreline Improvement Project has been released, over seven years and $1 million after project inception. The reference value of the report itself, for the research and analyses contained, will be the only benefit of the study, because the Army Corps determined the cost/benefit ratio of the preferred alternative, harbor dredging and beach nourishment, does not meet the standards for federal funding. The Harbor District pilot beach nourishment project looks to the State of California for grant funding. More info and documents on the Surfers’ Beach page.
