MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Philip B. Moy, Water Resources Department Director
DATE: 12 September, 2017
SUBJECT: Consideration of Administrative Encroachment Permit 17-36 to close a 500 by 2400 foot area of Clear Lake between Library Park and the Skylark Resort for the 2017 Splash-in.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Lake County Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the Clear Lake Seaplane Splash-In on September 14, 2017 thru September 17, 2017 from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day. Approximately 40 to 50 seaplanes are expected to participate in this event. Some are being moored in front of the Skylark Shores Resort and others will be on static display out of the water at the Natural High site after placement of the temporary ramp that is to be removed following the completion of the event. The area of closure is to be used for scheduled demonstrations during the event.
This event will require the Board to authorize the closure of that portion of the lake situated between Library Park and the Skylark Shores Resort as approximated on the attached map. Your Board has the authority to grant this temporary closure pursuant to Section 11.3 of Chapter 23 of the Clear Lake Shoreline Ordinance. This Ordinance allows your Board to authorize a closure if it finds that the proposed uses are appropriate but require special regulations or separation from other uses. In light of the scope of this event and the risks inherent therein, staff believes that this event meets those tests.
Special requirements for the permit include $5,000,000 in insurance, special demarcation of the ramp area to prevent pedestrians from accessing the ramp area, and burying the ramp edges with native soil and sediment. The ramps must be removed by Noon the day after the event ends.
