Draper Tidelands Permit and Design Review

Draper Tidelands Permit and Design Review

The project is a request for a Tidelands Permit and Design Review approval for several improvements including: (1) the rebuilding and repair of an existing boat house with installation of a fire sprinkler system, a degraded dock, ramp and boat hoist; (2) construction of a new boat hoist and a cluster of 3 new steel piles to support the new hoist; (3) replacement of 4 exiting deteriorated creosote piles with steel piles to support the hinged ramp; (4) construction of a replacement 215 sf floating dock in Tomales Bay; (5) removal of one creosote pile south of the existing dock; (6) encasing in concrete 17 existing wood piles to remain under the dock; (7) encasing the 12 existing piles under the boathouse in new concrete; (8) construction of new facilities associated with the improved water system approved and permitted by Environmental Health Services consisting of a wood-framed shelter for the meter panel, two, 10,000 gallon concrete water storage tanks, a 200 sf pump house to enclose equipment associated with the new water system, and water extension lines and connections to serve the boathouse. The project would replace the existing private boating facilities using the same footprint as the historical/current facilities. The existing boathouse, dock, ramp and piles are not structurally safe, having deteriorated through the continual wetting and drying from action of tidal waters and weather conditions over the years. The floating dock was lost during a winter storm in 2006. The boating facilities are solely for private recreational purposes and will be used for docking and mooring of boats by the owners of the property. The improvements and boating use are accessory to the primary single-family residential use of the property.
