RE: Waterfront Development Study & Master Plan

Dear Gentlemen:

It gives me great pleasure to submit the Waterfront Development Study and
Master Plan. This plan reflects input made by the Planning Commission
the Michigan Waterways.

If you have any questions regarding this plan please do not hesitate
to contact me at our Marysville office which is listed above.

Sincerely yours,

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this study is to recommend uses for the City

waterfront and provide the background information, technical

feasibility, and cost analysis to support these uses. From these

recommendations the City can adopt a Master Plan for the City

owned waterfront. This Master Plan is important to coordinate

the uses and development of the waterfront. The City must make

provisions for uses that depend on the river frontage. The plan

can also be the basis for budgeting and setting priorities for

improving and fully utilizing this waterfront. This is a timely issue

because of the present problems associated with the property and funding

available..

The area to be studied is from the Junction Bouy south to

Cemetery Road. The shoreline across River Road from the condominiums

is not included because it is privately owned. There is consid-
erable erosion problems in a number' of areas , conflict of uses,

and needs in the community that are not be@lng meet by the present

waterfront development. Some of these require immediate attention

and others require long range budgeting and planning.

In the past there has been a number of discussions, meetings

and plans presented concerning various uses of the waterfront.

Many of these were involving proposals for a marina. Developing a

marina represents the largest and most difficult activity to acCOMplish.

A marina has the most stringent requirements for land and water

access and acreage. This must be the focal point of any master plan.

A site must be identified for the marina and the remainder of the

plan developed around it. Later in the report, discussion will

be provided as to why a marina should be considered for the

community.

Another important aspect to be included is an improved launching

ramp. The existing launching ramps represent a dangerous condition

due to the exposure to wave action. The site also has limited

adequate parking. Other aspects that will be identified are

improving commercial utilization of the water front, fishing and

public access. Cost estimates will be prbvided for@these proposed

improvements in the appendix of the report.

1-2

J
EXISTIN" WATERFRONT USES

An inventory of the City owned waterfront encompassed 7400

feet of river frontage which includes a variety of uses,

Junction Bouy to Water Plant

This section is presently park area. Tt has steel sliect piling

wall, launching ramps, sidewalks along the wall small parking area,

and a large open grassed area. Across River Road is a heavily used

picnic area and parking for the picnicers and cars with boat trailers.

The existing steel sheet piling wall is too low in this area

as it regularly experiences flooding. Appioximately,40% of grass

area is very wet due to the high water level and low ground level

of this area. This area is occassionally used for river watching,

but is not used for fishing.

Launching ramps have no protection from boat wake and waves

in the river. On a busy weekend launching and retrieving boats is

very hazardous. A number of boats have been damaged and people

injured at this launching site.

Water Treatment Plant

This area is adequately protected by steel sheet piling which is

in good condition. Much of the frontage is occupied by the treatment

facilities with two,water intake lines extending out approximately

500 feet into the river.

Wastewater Treatment Plant

Between the water treatment plant and the new wastewater treatment

plant is the old wastewater treatment plant. The building and some

of the tanks have been abandoned. The old sludge digesters (2)

are being used for sludge storage and one below ground tank serves

as the chlorine contact chamber. The sludge drying beds are

occassionally being used but their primary function is to serve as

backup to the liquid sludge disposal process. Most of these structures

can and should be demolished. The sludge drying beds will have to

be relocated. The area of drying beds can be reduced but they are

intergral to the process. The chlorine contact chamber is presently

in use and will require relocation.

Old Chrysler Marine Facility

The existing building with steel sheet piling wall around it and

docks are in good condition. This area has an overhead boat hoist and

boat storage in the building. The City owns all of the Chrysler

property east of River Road.

"Beach" Area

The area south of the Chrysler Facility is presently used for

beach. This is a low flat area. tt has a small gravel parking area.

There is a grassed area for picnicing and sunbathing. A number of

storm sewers cross this area. No shore line protection has been

built for this area. The beach provides natural protection.

South of "Beach" Area to Wilkie Brothers Actory

This area is a higher banked area and is experiencing erosion.

The erosion has reduced the slope to near the roadway. Through the

years this area has been st abilized with rubble dumped along the river

bank. The area between the river and the roadway is very narrow eliminating

11-2

much use of the area. The City does own a narrow strip of land on

the west side of the River Road (see Drawing No. 1705-02).

South of Wilkie Brothers Factory to Cuttle Road

This river front is owned by the condominium associations.

Cuttle Road to U.S. Border Patro1

This area has existing steel sheet piling wall that has deteriorated

to the point of failure. In it pre sent condition, the wall is a hazard.

This area is a prime fishing site and generates a large number of

cars parking along the road. The southern portion of this section of:

the riverfront is high banks and limits access to the river. This

high bank area has been protected by rubble slope protection.

South of the U.S. Border Partol to Cemetery Road

This area is a continuation of the high banks until a small

area at the southern end opposite Cemetery Road. Most of the area

is to narrow to allow access to the river except at the southern end.

This shore line has been protected by use of rubble.

11-3

FUTURE USES

There are a number of future uses that need to be included in

the Master Plan. This section will discuss the reasons for including

these uses and the requirements for each use. The uses to be

discussed are the marina, upgraded launching facilities, fishing

and public access with adequate parking, and commercial activities.

MARINA

A marina represents a whole new industry to the City of Marysville.

When you look throughout the state of Michigan and the U.S. there

are very few communities that are blessed 4ith the natural resource

that Marysville has - that being the St. Clair River. Marysville

is one of the only cities, espically its size, in the state of

Michigan that has the potential to develop a marina and that has

not. Marinas represent a very valuable economic activity, a whole

new industry for the City.

A study done by the Michigan Sea Grant College Extension Service

has a computer program that predicts the spending impact of a marina.

This program is based upon a number of studies that the Extension

Service and Michigan Waterways has conducted. Based upon their

numbers the total annual craft related expenses for a boat are

categorized as follows:

Power 20'-25' Power Greater Sail boat Greater
Than 2.5 Feet Than 20 Feet

Annual Craft Expenses $1,773 $3,598 $2,800

Trip Expenses Per Day $ 84 $ 119 $ 48

When'these figures are multiplied by the typical days per year of

use, the average annual expenditure on the@I;boat and J_rip expenses

are slightly over $8,000.00 per boat. Obviously not all of this

spending would be in the City of Marysville, but a significant percentage

of that could be. A marina of about 100 slips, with a typical size

mix represents annual expenditures of approximately $800,000.

The analysis as provided by the Michigan Sea Grant College is

included in Appendix 1.

The question arises where do all of these boats come from.

In St. Clair County there are over 2,200 boats over 20 feet in length

registered to residents of the County. Many of those boats are

owned by Marysville residents. But because there is no marina

facility here or adequate launching ramps, people are using them

elsewhere. These boats are kept in Port Huron, Sarnia, and even

St. Clair.

Another aspect of providing a marina is the improvement in the

quality of life. This adds to Marysville uniqueness and takes advantage

of the beautiful river. Instead of making a negative statement about

the-quality of life and the lack of marina facility in the community,

providing a marina, especially a first class marina as proposed,

makes a definite positive statement for the City of Marysville.

LAUNCHING RAMPS

New launching ramps are needed as documented in the existing

uses. The present launching ramps are inadequate and represent a dangerous

condition. They definately need to be replaced or upgraded. There

is a tremendous demand for use of these inadequate launching ramps

as can be witnessed during the summer months. Launching ramps can

also have a significant economic impact upon the community. In St. Clair

111-2

County there are over 4,000 boats alone that are in the trailable size

range that could be launched at this facility. The trailable boat

is the fastest growing segment of the boating population.

Another factor that is important is that Marysville represents

the only launching facility on St. Clair River, north of St. Clair.

There is a 12 - 15 mile stretch of river with Marysville as the only

launching facility. It is the only launching facility to service

some of the greatest pickerel fishing in the world. So the natural

demand in combination with the growing number of trailable boats,

makes it easy to see that an upgraded and enlarged facility is

necessary.

FISHING SITES

With the great fishing in the St. Clair River especially along

the Marysville frontage, fisherman are going to get to the river and

do their fishing. But by providing improved access sites, the City

will better serve these fishermen, have better control of them and

make it easier to police their activities. The Michigan Department

of Natural Resources has recognized the value of providing quality

fishing near home and is placing a greater emphasis on funding these

type of activities. The advantage of improvements is evident in the

areas that the City of Port Huron has provided in Pine Grove Park and

around the Municipal Office Center. Along with providing improved

access to the fishing sites, adequate parking, waste recepticales

and benches are needed.

PUBLIC ACCESS

The general public should be provided access to the river.

The public will obviously be able to utilize the fishing access

111-3

sites. But additional provisions should be provided for passive activi-

ties, such as boat, bird, and nature watc hing. The value and the demand

for these activities can be witnessed at the "beach" area on any

winter day when a continual string of people visit the site to watch

and feed the birds. In the summer the same area is extremely busy

with boat watchers, sunbathers and people walking the beach. To

support these areas adequate parking must be provided.

By providing adequate off-street parking for the public access

and the fish sites, parking can be removed for the streets. This will

eliminate traffic conflicts and parking on private properties and

improve the area esthetics.

Another need that has to be included in the plan is for not only

parking access but access for walking, jogging, and bicycling.

Improved paths, such as a bike path, should be provided to connect

the various city areas along the river and the City Park. Eventually

these bike paths could be tied into an overall bike system throughout

the community so that the bike paths in the residental areas would

feed into these bike paths along the water-frbnt. On a nice summer

night the number of bikers in the community can be witnessed coming

to and from the riverfront. By separating them from the vehicular

traffic, a vast improvement of safety and esthics for the biking publiz

would be provided.

COMMERCIAL

Another very importantactivity strived for in the Community

is commercial activities. Because of the level of use of the riverfroat

areas, commercial activities can be supported and are necessary.

111-4

The City of Marysville has two primary areas of need:

1. A Marine Service and Convenience Store.
2. A Restaurant-Banquet Type Facili@y.

No where in the vicinity is there a convient fa@ility to provide

service, fuel or food to the boats on the River. With the amount of

boating and foot traffic that the launching ramps generate, especially

with an improved launching ramp, it could easily support a marine

service and convience store. A marina facility will great ly add to this

demand.

A restaurant-banquet facility could fill a void in the City.

A combination of this type could compliment the City golf course,

marina and launching ramps. If on or near the riverfront and golf

course, it would have the aesthetics of the river and activity of

the golf course to attract patrons and events. The City has a liquc r

license that could be applied for bythe facility operator.

111-5

MASTER PLAN

The Master Plan includes provisions for the uses discussed in

the previous sections of the report. Each section will individually

address the uses and provide the technical,feasibility and summary

of the cost estimates.

MAR I NA

The marina design is based on providing 30 to 60 foot long

slips with as many slips as possible incorporated into the design..

All the slips provided will be marketable. This is pvident at all

the marinas up and down the river and on the lake. Therefore, the

intent is to provide as large a facility as possible. The marina

would include provisions for transient and seasonal boaters. The

facility would have a building for restrooms and shower facilities,

along with an administration office and storage. It would provide

conditions within the harbor for no greater than I foot waves. In-

cluded would be pump out facilities for removing wastewater from the

boats. Gas and diesel fuel facilities would be provided either within

the marina or in the adjacent commercial facility. Each slip would

have utilities such as electricity, water, and possible telephone.

The site would be adequately lighted and have access sidewalks. It

would also include parking to support the marina.

Three potential sites were identified and evaluated for the marina:

Site I is the area between the Junction Bouy and the Water Treatment

Plant and east of River Road extending out into the river. Site 2 is

the area south of Huron Street and east of River Road. Site 2 primarily

IV-1

occupies the area referred to as the beach. Site 3 is the area betWE!en

the Junction Bouy and the Water Treatment Plant extending west including

the picnic area in the park. See Exhibit I for the location of each site.

A layout was developed for each site along with a corresponding

estimate of the construction cost. Each site was analyzed to comp arE!

the benefits, impacts and the economics. The availability of land for

future expansion was also considered. These preliminary findings were

presented to the Marysville Planning Commission and the Marysville Marine

and Waterfront Development Committee. From these analyses and the meet-

it was determined that Site 1 represented the most feasible cost

effective site with the least negative impacts. It is also the most

politically acceptable site.

Analysis of Site 1 and the proposed development is discussed on

the following pages. A summary of each analysis and a preliminary lay-

out of Site 2 and Site 3 is included in Appendix 2 and Appendix 3.

Appendix 4 in cludes the cost estimates for the various sites and othE-r

PTOPOsals included in this Study.

A cost comparison of the three sites is listed below. The best

method of comparing the cost of the three sites, with varying number

of wells, is to compare the cost on a per well basis:

Number of Total Project Cost Per
Slips Cost Uell

Site 1 106 $ 1,909,020.00 $ 18,010.00

Site 2 85 $ 2,071,608.00 $ 24,375.00

Site 3 143 $ 2,870,550.00 $ 20,075.00

SITE

Site 1 is delineated on Drawing No. 1705-01 included in the back

of the Study. The property is City owned and utilized for launching

ramps and passive park area. It has protection both up stream (Junction

Bouy) and down stream (Water Treatment Plant). The proposed site utilizes

the existing sheeting along the water treatment plant. The marina would

be consistant with the existing recreational land use as the marina would

be an extension of the park. With the City owning considerable land

west of River Road, this area also has the potential for future expar17

sion. It also offers the land for parking, for both marina use and

for the fishing pier and walkway. More land is available adjacent to

the north side of the park. The City should consider purchasing the

land for future park or marina use. i

The most critical aspect of the marina proposal in Marysville

is protection from boat wake. This requires a substantial breakwater

along the river front due to the wave action and ice flow's in winter.

The proposal at Site I includes 520 lineal feet of solid breakwater

and 200 feet of floating breakwater. The solid breakwater would be

composed of 2 walls of interlocking steel sheet piling driven into

the river bottom. These walls would be 12 feet apart and would be

filled with stone or excavated materials and have a concrete cap.

The elevation of this cap would be 582.5. The river side steel wall

would extend one foot above the concrete deck and be capped to pro-

vide additional protection from overtopping for pedestrians on the

breakwater.

IV-4

The floating breakwater is proposed to extend south of the solid

wall. It is substituted for the solid wall due to the depth of

the water and the protection afforded it by the solid breakwater.

This floating breakwater would consist of rubber tires filled with

floatation and wired together. It would be anchored to the solid

wall and white oak timber piles driven' together to form dolphins.

This rubber tired breakwater may require removal in the winter.

Removal could consist of a boat towing it inside the harbor. It

would not have to be removed from the water only out of the ice

flows. The anchorage system would have to be designed to allow

for removal in the winter. The floating breakwater would be designed.

so that it would have adequate width to reduce the waves to a acceptable

level. This floating breakwater substantially reduces the cost of the

breakwater in the deeper water. Local labor or other sources of inex-

pensive labor could minimize the assembly cost for the floating breakwater.

The marina will extend as far west as possible to maximize the
size. The proposal includes extending the marina towithin 14 f'eet

of the existing River Road. This will require excavation behind

the existing sheet piling wall, removal of it, and installation of

a new sheet piling wall around the perimeter of the basin. To faci-

litate loading and temporary parking along the marina, River Road

will have to be widened approximately 20 feet.' This will require

upgrading and a new surface for River Road along with the addition

of curbing along the east side of the road. A small retaining wall

would isolate the marina walkway from the parking and loading lane.

The interior walls of the marina, to maximize the area for the

IV-5

wells, will be interlocking steel sheeting instead of riprap slope

protection. This sheeting will be lighter weight than the break-

water sheeting. It will be capped with a concrete sidewalk 6 feet

wide. The finger piers off the sheeting would be fixed piers. These

piers would be 3 feet wide with steel structural members with wood

decking. They would be supported by timber piling driven into the

bottom.

The remainder of the marina docks would be composed of floating

head peirs 8 feet wide and floating finger piers 3 feet wide. They

would be connected to the solid wall by adjustable ramps. As proposed.

Site I would consist of 106 wells. The following is the mix of the

sizes of the wells:

30 Foot Wells 90

45 Foot Wells 1.3

60 Foot Wells 3

TOTAL 106

Future expansion of the marina could be west through the 80 foot

wide passage at the north end of the marina.

The restrooms and shower buildings wjich would,also include

administrative office and storage, would be approximateiy 1500 square

feet and include:

Number For Men Number For Women

Water Closets 3 3

Urinals 2 0

Lavatories 4 4

Showers 3 3

The service dock would include a pump out facility and fuel

IV-6

dispensing equipment. Utilities (electricity and water) to each slip

would be provided. Docks along the outer walls should include access

to telephone connections. Lighting would be provided along the piers

and throughout the site. Public telephone would be provided at the

restroom and shower facility.

As mentioned in the discussion on the solid breakwater, pedestrian

access will be provided on the breakwater. This will make for an

excellent fishing pier and river access to the public. Provisions

included for the fisherman and the public are the 12 foot wide concrete

deck with railing on both sides and benches interspaced along the inside

of the breakwater. This pier will extend into prime fishing area.

The floating breakwater should make an excellent fish habitat. The

enlarged deck area at the end of the breakwater will provide a nice

facility for watching the boats and observing the river. Access to the

breakwater will be provided by a separate entrance to minimize pedestrian

traffic in the marina.

Parking will be provided in two areas. Parking for the marina,

which will be for approximately 120 cars, will be at the southern

end of the marina accross River Road. Parking for the fisherman and

public access would be at the north end of the park and represent

approximately 40 cars.

The' detailed cost estimates and analysis is included in Appendix 4.

The total estimated proje ct cost for Site I is $1,909,020. The estimated

cost per well for Site I is approximate'ly $18,010.

JV-7

LAUNCHING RAMPS

The launching ramp location is east of the water treatment plant.

The location, detailed layout, and parking area are shown on Drawing

No. 1705-01. This is a logical location for the launching ramps,

because of the existing sheeting providing some protection for the

launching ramps and the room for parking. Constructing the launching

ramps at this location will require relocation of sludge drying beds

to the existing wastewater plant site west of River Road, along with

the demolition of some components of-the abandoned wastewater treatment

plant. Both of these activities are conducive to the overall objectives

of the City as the drying beds should be on the site of the existing plant

and the facilities to be demolished are hazards. The demolition of

the tankage could be completed at a later time, depending upon the level

of funding available.

The launching ramps consist of 4 launching ramps with two skid

piers. To support the 4 launching ramps, 67 parking spots for cars

with trailers would be provided and 30 spots for single cars. The

construction details include concrete plank for the launching ramp

surface and riprap slope protection along the ramp. The existing

sheeting would be cut to provide an opening for the launching ramps.

Protection would be provided for this area by floating breakwaters.

This is an excellent application of floating breakwater, as the sites

for the breakwater is extremely protected from ice and current and they

will adequately diminish the wave action in the area.

The driveways and the area adjacent to the launching ramps, which

includes the prepare to launch and tie down lanes, should have asphalt

paved surface. The remaining of the parking area could be gravel until

funds become available to complete asphalting. FO-ncing in the area would

IV-8

be removed and thus allowing for free circulation and improved fishing

in the area. Esthetics in the area would be*greatly improved. An

area can be set aside for picnicing. Trash containers should also

be provided.

A side benefit to the launching ramp proposal is the added

protection for the existing old Chrysler facility,. The floating

breakwaters will make this area a very viable commercial location.

It will be a very convenient facility to the launching ramps and

an easy area to dock for fuel or other activities. Upgrading this

facility could be included in the launching ramp proposal.

Restrooms should be provided for the launching ramps. This

could be accomplished in this upgraded old Chrysler facility As

part of the requirements for commercial leasing of this propeTty,

restrooms could be furnished and maintained. This would also

provide a monitoring and regular hours-for the restroom facilities.

FISHING AREAS

St. Clair River along Marysville represents some of the best

pickerel fishing in the world. To improve access for fisherman and

to allow for better policing and control of those areas, a number of

areas are identified for fishing access.

A major addition to the fishing access sites would be the marina
breakwater access. This represents the area with the best potential.'

,The second good fishing site to be improved is the launching

ramp area. This is very popular area with the fisherman. By
I

improving the parking lot, removing the remanents of the old waste-

water plant and the old fencing, this area could be the focal point

of the waterfront development.

IV-9

The third fishing access site that should receive emphasis

is the area along River Road south of Cuttle. This represents a very

popular fishing site, but lacks any of the necessary improvements

especially adequate parking. The existing sheet piling wall is

also failing.

To upgrade this site to provide erosion protection and necessary

improvements for fishing and public access, the following are needed:

1. New steel sheet piling wall with railing

2. Adequate parking

3. Sidewalk

4. Bike path through area

5. Benches and trash recepticles

6. Fishing pier

These could be phased to allow improvements as funding becomes available.

Par king and the sheet piling wall are first priorities.

Parking,can be accomplished by improving the area south of Cuttle

Road on the west side of River Road and north of the U.S. Border

Patrol. This is the fairly flat area owned by the City. Pedestrians

access can be provided to the fishing area by construction of a ramp

on the east side of River Road down to the river level. This will

require the addition of approximately 100 feet of sheeting to provide

erosion protection in the area and allow more space for the access

ramps. This ramp can then become part of the bike path and walkway

along the river front.

The replacement of the sheeting will allow construction of a

railing along the river and an adequate sidewalk.. Trash recepticles

and benches should be incorporated into the improvements.

IV-10

A long 'range plan for this area would be a fishing pier extending

out into the river with an observation deck along the shore line This

would extend out into the river allowing access to the fishing.

It would be a wood structure with timber piling driven into the bottoin.

This would be a focal point for fishing. It has the potential to

become a marketing item for the community.
The parki ng provisions on the west side of the road would include

74 cars. A sidewalk on the west side of the road to the north end of

the parking would cross River Road and have steps down to the river

front and the improved area.

PUBLIC ACCESS

Public access must be provided along with the fishing access

for more passive activities, such as bird watching, hiking, sunbathing,

and childrens play area. The prime area for this is the area considered

the "beach" area. This has a natural beachowith a existing bird populat ion

which in the winter includes ducks, geese, and swans. The area requires

little capital improvements as there is an existing parking lot se rving

this area. This parking area could be paved in the future. This beach

area will provide an excellent staging area for the walkway-bike path

which should continue to the north and south. Included in this area

should be provisions for a childrens activity center. These basic im-

provements will enhan6e and encourage the present uses of this area.

,Further to the south of this area, access should be provided.

The bank is higher in this area with beach access more limited.

But the bike path walkway should continue south through this area

to allow access and to contract the area riverfront areas.

IV-11

The focal point of this area could be an observation tower. Thi:3

could be located north of Wilkie Brothers where the bank is a

higher elevation. This observation tower would be for viewing

the river and boats. It could be constructed of telephone poles

and treated lumber. It would be an area that people could walk

or bike to from either the beach area to" the north or the

fishing area to the south. It would provide a gathering point'

and resting area for this stretch of the river.

The last area to be addressed for public access would be to the

extreme south end of this study section. This area is opposite

Cemetery Drive, south of the U.S. Border Patrol. This area would

make for a nice quiet family picnic area. It would be a good area

for small gatherings or a quiet lunch. Parking would be provided

across River Road south of the U.S. Border Patrol. This would be

the end point of the bike path - walkway along the riverfront-

The bike path should continue through all the areas. The sections

with narrow frontage and private property,,the path should be installed
V D
along the roadway. A section of riverfront north of Cuttle Road to

Wilkie Brother's Conveyor is private frontage. This could be accom-

plished by paving a strip with rumble strip along the edge of the street

to delineate the bike path.

COMMERCIAL AREAS

Two areas represent great potential for commercial development.

The first area, which is the old Chrysler Marine Facility, has great

potential with the relocation of the launching ramps. The City has

in the past attempted to lease this facility with no success. With

the added traffic generated by the relocated launching ramps and the

IV-12

added protection of the floating breakwater this becomes a high

activity area. An area with great commercial potential. This facility

could include any of the following activities:

1. Boat sales and rental

2. Boat parts sales

3. Marine service

4. Fishing tackle and bait

5. Convenience store

6. Marine fuel sales

The City should determine whether it wants to sell.fuel out of the

marina or include it with this center. There is no reason to duplicate

the equipment. The City should retain ownership of this property an@.

lease the facility to an operator. One suggestion is for the City to

include fuel sales in this facility, but to retain a percentage of the

fuel sales.

The second site with great commercial potential is between the

golf course and River Road. This is shown on Drawing No. 1705-03.

This is a prime location for a combination restaurant-lounge with

banquet facilities. It has the advantage of the traffic from the golf

course and the aesthetics of the river. The terrain of the site with

some minor grading will allow for a two story facility. The upper lc_@vel

could house the restaurant-lounge with the cooking facilities. This

would be on the same level as the golf course. This would be conducive

to pedestrian and golf cart traffic coming from the golf course. The

entrance to the facility would be off River Road or the restaurant-lcunge

would be off Golf Course Drive. Additional car parking would be provided

adjacent to the golf course parking, this would provide adequate

overflow parking for both facilities. It could have a deck to the east

IV-13

overlooking the river on the upper level. The lower level could be tile

banquet facility. The river side of the building, the lower level, could

be on ground level with the potential for a walkout patio. A ramp from

the entrance drive to the banquet.facility entrance would be provided to

make provisions for both entrances to be handicapped accessable.

This facility will also generate additional business for the goll

course as it will provide for one day golf outings, meals and entertain-

ment. This location should support 300 to 400 seat capacity restaurant-

banquet facility. Because this location is surrounded by City owned

property, the City should continue to own this property if possible.

A long term land arrangement should be sought with a restaurant developer

and operator.

EROSION CONTROL

Erosion control is a concern to everyone on the St. Clair River

because of the high water levels and the river current. It would

be desirable if the City could afford to install steel sheet piling

along the entire river, however, the economics overrule this as a

viable option. Each area has to be individually analyzed to determine

the extent of the investment and erosion control protection justified

by the property values. A number of methods to control erosion are

available. Each vary in cost, complexity and effectiveness. Followfng

are four commonly used methods:

1. Interlocking steel sheet piling walls

2. Built-up slope with riprap and filter cloth protection

3. Loose placed riprap and rubble

4. Vegetation cover

IV-14

The following is a brief overview of these four systems of erosion

control.

Interlocking steel sheet piling wall is the cadillac type of pro-

tection if properly designed and placed. It will provide years of

excellent protection. However, this treatment is the most expensived

Built-up riprap slope protection consists of placing engineered

filter fabric cloth (strong plastic fabric manufactured specifically

for this use) with 6" gravel layer placed on top. Outer layers of

armor stone are placed on top of the gravel. The armor stone is sized

for the specific type and size of wave for each location. This provides

stable slope protection and reduces the wave energy. This is

especially important for a marina application. This slope treatment

requires more room as it has to be installed on a shallow slope. Another

problem with this slope protection is that it is very difficult to

install where there is a current or large wave action. The currents

of St. Clair River makes this difficult to install.

Loose placed riprap and rubble slope protection is basically

the truck dumped rubble that is pushed over the sides of the banks.

For years this has been a preferred method to improve slope stability

in a number of locations. From an economic standpoint this has its

advantages but aesthetically leaves something to be desired. In

many cases this method is of last resort.

Vegetation slope stability is the least expensive and most envirom-

entally sensitive method. It requires flat slopes and adequate soils to

maintain the growth. This method is not satisfactory in cases with

severe wave action or high currents. It is not effective in areas that

are experiencing erosion problems.

IV-15

Each method has its advantages and preferred uses. '['here are

many additional variations of the basic treatments. Following are

recommendations for each area in the study.

Junction Bouy and the Water Treatment Plant

This area is presently protected with steel sheet piling wall.

With the high water levels, this area experiences periodic flooding.

This causes inconvience but no monitary damage. The marina proposal

will improve this area and provide the high level of protection required.

This should be accomplished with the steel sheet piling.

Launching Ramps and the Old Chrysler Facility

The existing sheet piling wall and the proposed floating breakwater

will adequately protect this area from erosion.

"Beach" Area (Old Chrysler Facility to 1,000 feet south)

This area has flat slopes and vegetation cover. There is little

damage that can be caused by wave action or erosion. The "beach" area

provides some natural protection. This area should be maintained as

an area with beach and vegetation type of protection. This is a good

area to be left as "natural".

Area South of the "Beach" to Wilkie Brothers

This area is higher banked with little beach. It is experiencing

serious erosion problems. The only improvements requiring protection

is River Road pavement. The present method of placing loose rubble

and riprap should protect the shoreline. But this method will require

continual monitoring. After storms or during seasonally high water

IV-16

levels the addition of more rubble will be required. This area is

of lower economic value, thus does not justify the large capital

expendures to provide a higher level of protection. In addition

there is insufficient slope to the deeper water to provide riprap

slope protection.

Cuttle Road Area

To provide protection and added room for the fishing area and

proposed bike path, steel sheet piling should be utilized. This area

has the potential for intense use that justifies the added expense

for the steel sheet piling wall.

Area Opposite the U.S. Border Partol

This area should be protected by rubble until such time that a

steel sheet piling wall can be funded.

South of the U.S. Border Patrol to Cemetery Road (Cuttle Creek Picni-c- Area)

This area should be protected with built-up riprap slope protection.

Because it is being proposed for a small picnic area and the river is

not too deep at this location, placed riprap slope protection will

provide the required level of protection at a reasonable cost.

IV-17

IMPLEEMENTAION & FINANCING

The implementation of the findings in this Study begins with adoption

of the Master Plan. This will provide the framework for the City Staff

to begin soliciting funding and interest in developing the various items

in the Study.

The local recreation plan which Marysville has adopted must be

amended to reflect the activities and improvements in this plan. It is

then submitted to the State for their approval. This then can become

the basis for many of the recreational grants.

COMMERCIAL

With the adoption of the Master Plan the staff can begin soliciting

interest or proposals on developing the restaurant-banquet facility at

the riverfront and golf course. This could begin by contacting poten--

tial restaurantuers with successful existing restaurants in other

communities. Ads for proposals in restaurant trade publications could

also generate interest in the site.

The City should consider some basic criteria for the proposals,

i.e. leasing particulars, restaurant size or type of menu and responsi-

bility of the developer (access drive, parking lot, sewer and water).

The City should consider making some of the site improvements such as

upgrading the parking lot as a City's economic incentive.

The commerical activity at the old Chrysler marina facility should

be shelved until a schedule can be identified for the launching ramp

improvements. The launching ramp improvements will have such a signi-

ficant impact on the facility that all proposals should reflect the

higher traffic and better local aesthetics of an improved launching ramps.

V-1

MARINA & LAUNCHING RAMPS

The marina and launching ramps represent the most capital intensive

proposal. The marina - launching ramps will provide:

1. Much needed safer launching ramps

2. More parking for cars with boats

3. Boat mooring facilities

4. Marina and fishing parking

5. Demolision of the old wastewater plant

6. Public access to riverfront and better fishing

7. Better marketability of the old Chrysler facility

8. Source of employment in community

The prime source of funds for those improvements is the Michigan

Waterways. Presently their grants are a 50% match of local funds. The

50% local match money can be created a number of ways:

1. Through other grants

2. City capital budget expenditures

3. City forces doing the work

4. Bonding with debt reti@ement from marina revenues

5. Bonding with debt retirement from City general funds

6. Bonding with debt retirement from special millage.

7. Bonding with any combination of the above

waterways is receiving funding from appropriations of marine fuel. tax

money for capital expenditures. Because the state legislature and governor's

office has expressed support for funding marina construction due to fte

significant economic impact of boating and marina's, Waterways will be

a stable source of funding for a number of years. Waterways has established

a point system to prioritize marina construction. They are also administer-

ing a number of other funds from the Federal government. Marysville should

V-2

request funding through Waterways and determine a timetable for funding.

Once this is established the City can pursue other sources of money.

This is especially important for soliciting other grants to offset the

50% local match. Other grant sources will be listed later in the Study.

The economic impact and jobs creation of marinas are well established.

This can be the basis for a Small Cities Economic Grant to fund a portion

of the project. A grant of this nature can be used to offset the local

50% match.

A well run marina will operate at a profit. St. Clair's Marina, which

is a comparable size marina which would generate a similar type of boating

traffic and volume of business, is a good comparison for projecting Marys-

ville's potential revenues and expenses. The following are typical f"gures

from St. Clair Harbor Commission for 1985 operations:

Income:

Charges for Services & Mooring $ 103,068

Sale of Merchandise 157,317

Other 817

TOTAL OPERATING REVENUE $ 261,202

Expenses:

Wages & Benefits $ 45,116

Contractual Services 2,000

Merchandise & Supplies 143,938'c

Heat, Light & Power 8,276

Other 14,525

TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES $ 213,855

TOTAL OPERATING PROFIT $ 47,347

*Does not include estimated $18,506 fuel loss through a tank leak.

v-3

Through the years the St. Clair Marina has generated a sizeable fund balance

of $341,262. Profits from the facility can be used for retiring debt, providing

for maintenance and future expansion, additions, and improvements.

WATERFRONT Got FISHING ACCESS

The additional land available north of the City park should be con-

sidered for purchasing. Grant money could be utilized to pay for this

addition to the park.

Funding for the steel sheet piling wall along River Road south of

Cuttle Road has been requested through the Emergency Erosion Co ntrol Fund

administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This application should

be followed up with a contact with the United States Legislators. (De@vid

Bonier, Carl Levin, and Bob Traxler, who does not represent MarysvillE@

but is a good contact).

The remainder of the fishing access site and parking lots construction

money should be requested through the Department of Natural Resources.

The Fisheries Division has money available for projects that provide high

quality fishing opportunities especially in an urban setting. The other

sources of funds listed on the following pages are applicable. To im-

prove the chances of receiving a grant and begin to meet the parking

needs, the City could initiate construction of the parking lots using City

forces to develop a gravel parking lot.

The bike path-walkway is a prime candidate for funding through Coastal

Management Programs (CMP). CMP programs fund studies (a portion of this

Study was funded by CMP) and low cost construction projects. The PlicLigan

Departme at of Transportation should also be contacted. They have in the

past funded bike paths.

The Cuttle Creek Picnic Area could use any of the following IiStE@d

sources of grant money for construction. This may be a project within the

limits of the City's Department of Public Works forces to do this construction.

v-4

The City should encourage local civic groups (1-lions Club, Rotary,

Power Squadron, etc.) or encourage involvement from the National Guard

to actively participate in these projects. Their backing is important

both financially and emotionally. These groups could aid in assembling

or purchasing floating breakwaters, benches, children's activity center,

observation deck, fishing areas or litter receptacles.

The following pages have a listing of agencies and grants available

for many of the listed projects. To receive any of these grants from the

State the City has to agree to nondiscrimination in hiring and use of the

improvements and to provide access for handicapped. The following list is

the six goals the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has established

in the State's 1985-1990 statewide recreation plan Building Michigan's

Recreation Future.

Resource Protection Goal: To protect Michigan's natural recreation

resources and provide for their public use and enjoyment.

Water Access Goal: To provide public access to Michi.-an's water bodies

particularily the Great Lakes, and to facilitate their recreation. use.

Urban Recreation Goal: To improve outdoor recreation opportunity in

Michigan's urban areas.

Economic Development Goal: To stimulate Michigan's economy through

recreation, tourism and community revitalization.

Community Recreation Goal: To meet regional, county, and community

needs for outdoor recreation opportunities.

Wise Investment Goal: To invest Natural Resources Trust Funds to

projects that will yield the best long-term recreation return to

the people of Michigan.

All of the proposals in this Study fit in these guidelines.

EROSION CONTROL

Erosion control will hav e to be addressed continually with the high

water level. The areas north and south of Cuttle Road that are receiving

rubble treatment will require constant monitoring and intermittant addition

of rubble to protect the River Road roadway.

This year with all the emphasis on flooding and high water levels,

is a good year to be soliciting funds for erosion control projects.

APPENDIX 2

SITE 2

Site 2 is property owned by the City. It is the area of the

existing "beach". Unfortunately the City does not own property across

the road at this site. Therefore, the area of expansion is limited.

The only area available for future expansion would be further to the

south. But because of the depth of the river and the height of the

roadway, this area is severly limited. Parking is limited due to

limited land area available. This site is convenient to the area

proposed for the commercial marina service.

The Site 2 Proposal is similar to the Site I Proposal in many

ways. See Exhibit 2 for the layout. The breakwater will be of similar

construction and width thus to allow the fishing and pedestrian access.

The floating breakwater at the end is proposed to protect the entrance.

It is shorter than Site 1 due to the exposure that it would be subject

to. This floating breakwater requirements are the same as that required

for the launching ramps. (If launching ramps are constructed first,

deduct $34,000 for the floating breakwater from the estimated cost for

Site 2).

The restrooms and showers would have to be constructed in the

area of the old Chrysler facility. This would reduce the commercial

potential of this facility. This proposal fully utilizes the site

leaving little open space, grass area or picnic area.

This site requires excavation inland to maximize the area of the

marina as Site 1. Parking would be provided between the roadway and

marina. The interior walls would be interlocking steel sheeting

A/2-1

of a lighter weight than the breakwater wall. The marina would be

composed of fixed finger piers off of the sheeting and floating

piers in the remainder of the harbor. The total number of wells

for Site 2 is 85. The following is the mix and size of those wells:

30 Foot Wells 73

45 Foot Wells 9

60 Foot Wells 3

TOTAL WELLS 85

The detailed cost analysis for Site 2 is included in Appendix 4.

The total estimated project cost is $2,071,608.00. The cost per well

for Site 2 is approximately $24,375.00.

Site 2 is unacceptable because of limited land area for improvements,

costly construction and conflict with the existing use of the site. The

beach area should remain as a natural area with beach.

SITE 3

Site 3 is property owned by the City. The area is contained

within Marysville City Park and includes the existing launching ramps

and picnic area. This site will require the relocation of River Road,

18" sanitary sewer and water mains. River Road relocation will re-

quire additional park land. The sanitary sewer relocation, because

of the depth of the sewer, will be very expensive (this sewer is the

deepest in the City). The City owns more property to the West and

south of this proposed area. This marina could be further expanded

in the future to the west but encounters conflicts with relocated River

Road, sanitary sewer and water mains.

Site 3 encompasses many of the improvements in the Site 1 pro-

posal. The solid breakwater will allow limited access to the river. The

floating breakwater is proposed to protect the entrance. The existing

sheet piling wall would be used for protection but another wall would

have to be constructed 12 feet from it and tied to the existing wall.

Because this wall is to low for adequate protection, a concrete cap with

curb will have to be formed and poured to provide a height of 583.5 feet.

Railing would be added on the river side of the wall.

The interior walls would be riprap slope proteqion with filter

cloth base. This is less expensive but requires more room. Additional

dock length is also required.

A/3-1

The finger piers along the exterior walls would be solid piers.

The remaining finger piers (off the head piers) and the head piers

would be floating piers.

Restrooms and showers would be provided and be similar in size

as Site 1 proposal.

The parking area at the west end of the marina will eliminate addi-

tional park and require the enclosing of an open drain with storm sewer.

Some excavated material can be used to fill this drainage course.

A large volume of earth excavation is required for this proposal

(at the west end of the marina a cut of approximately 20 feet). Disposing

of the excess material could pose a problem. Some material will be used

to fill for the parking area and some could be used for a toboggan hill in

the park but a significant amount of excess material would need to be

trucked to another site.

The grade differential at the west and north sides will require

an abutment wall along the sidewalk to protect the roadway grade.

The total number of slips for Site 3 proposal is 143. The mix and

size of these wells is as follows:

30 Foot Wells 109

45 Foot Wells 27

60 Foot Well 7

TOTAL WELLS 143

The detailed cost analysis for Site 3 is included in Appendix 4.

The total estimated project cost is $2,870,550.00. The cost per well

for Site 3 is approximately $20,075.00.

A/3-2

Site 3 is unacceptable because of the conflicts with existing park

and picnic area, the relocation of River Road through the park and the

higher cost.

This park area west of the existing River Road is heavily used for

picnicing all summer long. Dedicating this area for marina was opposed

by the Planning Commission. This opposition is supported by the City

Council and local citizens. The existing use of this property is well

supported and backed by the public.
