Facility Planning Option 3 in PDF (printable)

Option # 3 � Construct a new Harbor area Special Events Venue, Modest Recreational Water Park with Traditional Swimming Pool, and Boat Ramp

Under this option a 6,000 square foot recreation pool with a single waterslide, zero-depth entry, and wet play elements, and a 6 lane x 25 yard traditional swimming pool would be constructed in the facility (see attachment C.) The facility would also include a bathhouse, a food concession building, storage space for pool equipment and chemicals, a covered raised stage, approximately 40,000 square feet of special events area, landscaping, fencing and site lighting.

The preliminary capital cost estimate for the Special Events Venue and Water Park is $9.4 million dollars. The site plan also includes a 150 space on-grade parking lot that is estimated to cost $300,000. Additionally the site plan includes a two-lane boat launch ramp with 28 trailer parking spaces at a capital cost that is TBD. The annual operating expenditure estimate for this option is $1,100,000 and the revenue estimate is $900,000. The early projection for ongoing Harbor Tidelands Fund subsidy with this option is $200,000 per year.

Pros:

Installation of some contemporary water play elements
Year round water activity, particularly through use of the traditional swimming pool
A parking lot controlled by the City would create new revenue
No NPDES permit requirements
Installation of a Harbor area boat ramp

Cons:

Only mild reduction in need for Harbor Tidelands Fund subsidy, largely due to the minimal operating cost recovery of traditional swimming pool features
Somewhat limited special event space
Loss of the casual/comfortable feel of the existing Seaside Lagoon facility
