Background and Analysis:
Two small segments of the existing Percival Landing boardwalk (totaling approximately 224 square feet) are constructed over an area that the City has subleased from Fiddlehead Marina since 1984. The City's sublease area is included in a larger area that Fiddlehead Marina leases directly from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The City's current sublease expires on November 7, 2014.
The new Sublease Agreement was prepared utilizing the standard DNR format for subleases of aquatic lands. The term of the new sublease agreement begins on November 8, 2014 and will expire on June 30, 2032, concurrent with the expiration of Fiddlehead Marina's Master Lease with DNR. The DNR has approved the draft sublease agreement and issued its consent letter on September 11, 2013 (see attached). City Legal staff has reviewed the new Sublease Agreement, and the legal description has been reviewed by the City Surveyor.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
