The Critical Role of Planning in Marina Redevelopment Competitive - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

The Critical Role of Planning in Marina Redevelopment Competitive Adaptation for Facilities

Marina History – Abridged • After the construction boom of the 1970’s to 1990’s, marinas experienced a golden age.

Second Age of Marina Development EVERYTHING AGES

Change Becomes Necessary • How change is managed is nearly as important as the Centerville Creek change itself • Failing to change when faced with the need can be disastrous Ramp

Change Management • Examining your facility • Understand current revenue streams • Profile your competition • Assess your site

Revenue Stream Evaluation • Evaluate assets and liabilities of current revenue streams • Slip leases Centerville Creek • Transient fees • Rentals • Fuel sales • Storage • Service and parts • Convenience store Ramp • Food and beverage • Other streams

What Are You Up Against? • Profile the competition • Web page information • Trade groups and information sharing • Occupancy • What are they missing? Ramp

Site Condition Assessments Examining the Good, the Bad, and the “How Did That Happen”

Assessing Your Facility- In Water • Condition assessment • Slip sizes vs. demand Centerville Creek • Utilities • Electrical • Water • Fire protection • Communication Ramp • Depth issues

Assessing Your Facility- In Water Fuel Dock

Assessing Your Facility- In Water Docks

Assessing Your Facility- In Water Home Built Dock Pedestals One is submerged

Assessing Your Facility- Water’s Edge • Breakwater/wave attenuators • Shoreline stabilization Centerville Creek • Launch ramps Ramp

Accessways • Older facilities may not have spent much in developing accessibility

Gates

Gangways

Existing Ramp Failing Ramp Pavement Unprotected Ramp Dock

Shoreline Failures

Assessing Your Facility- Upland • Buildings • Parking and Connectivity Centerville Creek • Utilities • Landscaping Ramp

Assessing Your Facility- Upland Buildings Centerville Creek Parking and Connectivity Utilities Ramp Existing Structures

Building Condition Assessments

Post Condition Assessment Steps • What to Keep? • What to Discard? • What to Add? • What to Expand and Update?

New Revenue Streams • Developing reasons for people to spend time at the marina • Non boating activities • Added services • Incremental improvements in facilities and operations

New Components • It’s not all about revenue • Boat washdown stations • Fish cleaning stations • Clean marina support (waste oil and filter disposal)

Fish Cleaning Station

Drystack Storage Facility

Incremental Changes Making Big Impact with Limited Investment

Decontamination Station

Gangway Upgrades

Site Planning • Integrating new components with planning effort • Updating to meet current codes • Understanding ADA and design elegance

Phased Projects

Permits and Grants • Boating Infrastructure Grants • Clean Vessel Act Grants • Economic Development Grants

Grants and Finance • Developing strategy • Budget cycle sensitivity • Understanding grants by type and requirements • Planning for alternatives • Paying for it all • Phasing • TIFs and magic money • Bonding • Timing grants and construction

Permitting • Developing strategy with regulators • Early communication • Pre-submittal meetings • Understanding project specific requirements • Listen to regulators/get it in writing • Be prepared • Permitting timelines • USACE cannot be rushed • Work in series, others work in parallel

Final Planning • Phasing the renewal to allow for affordable improvements • Building from one phase to the next • Strategic ordering of phases essential

Execution of Planned Updates • Final Engineering • 40% of total work effort • Changes may be required by permits • Preparing Bid Documents • Timing for construction to respect boating seasons • Realistic estimates • Sharing permit requirements with Contractors • Contract Administration • Keeping the Owner informed and the Contractor honest
