The Schematic Design Report describes the purpose of the project, design criteria, limiting factors of the site, and preliminary design solutions. This background information, explanatory text, and project criteria define a site program and contribute to the development of a preferred option. Click this link for the full report Three options have been developed that address the project scope for the boat launch and adjacent facilities. Through the overall planning and design process, we will move toward a single preferred alternative that reflects the preferred design criteria. The following three options are as follows: Option A:  Prioritizes minimizing the footprint of development and minimizing impacts to wetland and riparian areas. The primary objective is to improve the existing site conditions with minimal development into sensitive habitats. Option B: Prioritizes efficient vehicle circulation, minimizing impacts to the riparian shoreline area and wetlands. The primary object...
