This item aligns with Agency core values and advances the Commission Transformation Strategy, “Adopt a business approach to park system administration”. SIGNIFICANT BACKGROUND: Mr. Christopher Sweeney is requesting a perpetual easement for ingress and egress utilizing the Grayland Beach Road. Grayland Beach road is a designated State Parks Ocean Beach Approach (OBA) and serves as a primary public access to oceanfront in the Grayland area. Without the benefit of use of State Park land, the access road desired by the applicant would impact sensitive wetland areas located on adjacent private property. In addition to wetland impacts, Mr. Sweeney would incur significant additional costs if he were required to utilize only private property to access his land. Details related to the proposed access route are attached as Appendices 2 and 3. COMPENSATION: In lieu of paying cash, Mr. Sweeney has agreed to provide and install a much needed flush CXT style restroom at the Grayland Ocean Beach Approach. The approximate value of this new public sanitation facility is estimated at $50,000. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this proposal and recommends that the Commission authorize the Director to grant a perpetual easement as detailed in Appendix 3 to Mr. Christopher Sweeney for the purpose of ingress and egress. LEGAL AUTHORITY: RCW 79A.05.070 – Further Powers (5) Grant franchises and easements for any legitimate purpose on parks or parkways, for such terms and subject to such conditions and considerations as the commission shall specify; Commission Policy 55-06-1 Real Estate Transactions and Non-recreational Uses of Parklands, Section II, General Principles. SUPPORTING INFORMATION: Appendix 1: Location and Vicinity Map Appendix 2: Site Map Appendix 3: Proposed Project Plan 6 REQUESTED ACTION FROM COMMISSION: That the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission: 1. Receive staff’s “Determination of Non-Significance” that the proposed action is minor and the environmental effects are not significant.
