$15.5 million renovation project will include 11 docks, 253 boat slips.
By John W. Scafetta
MARINA DEL REY— The aged docks next to Burton Chace Park will soon be restored after the county Board of Supervisors approved $15.5 million worth of alterations during a July 8 meeting. Construction on Anchorage 47, which will include 11 docks with 253 boat slips, will begin in November. Reconfigurations will also include upgraded water, power and sewer structures. “The new docks will enable us to accommodate a larger variety of ves- sels and the needs of modern boaters which are different than what they were decades ago,” said Carol Baker, Los Angeles County Beaches and Harbors spokeswoman. The project will be completed in
three phases and is expected to last until July of 2016, according to Baker. “Some of the docks are offline com-
pletely, because of excessive wear and tear where the sea lions have gotten the best of them,” Baker said. “They needed to be not only replaced and rebuilt, but they also needed to be

modernized. These are older docks and it was just time for them to go.” The project will also include
upgrades to the area’s adjacent board- walk, the county-owned parking area and restroom, which adds about $3.2 million to the overall cost of the proj- ect.
“It was determined during the design phase that the existing board- walk area, parking lot and restroom building serving Anchorage 47 and the existing Parcel 55 dock and landside improvements did not meet current building code requirements, and the county’s current standards for marina construction are needed to be upgrad- ed as well,” according to a staff report. Anchorage 47 will lose 77 slips, but new accommodations will better suit

82 spots for vessels 26 to 30 feet in length and 60 slips for 30-foot boats. The number of end ties will remain at 11.
“To have modern docks is going to be a huge benefit for the boaters,” Baker said. “Not only will they be ADA
compliant, but they’ll have the latest electric, sewer and fire protection. It will make a huge difference.” Recreational boaters may also be
granted the option of relocating to county-owned docks in the marina, according to Baker. “It depends how the phasing goes. It might be that we can move some of them to a different part of the anchor- age,” Baker said. “But I don’t think that’s been determined yet because we don’t have a construction plan yet. We don’t have a contractor yet. Typically what happens in MdR when these projects came up, we work with the other marina managers to try to seam- lessly relocate tenants.” A contractor for the project will be selected in August.

Launch ramp completed
Channel Islands city officials, Board of Supervisors and others celebrated the com- pletion of the new boat launch ramp during a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, June 27. The new six-lane launch ramp includes public restrooms, a picnic area and an electronic pay station. The rebuild occurred over a 9 ½ month period. Built in the early 1960s, the launch ramp’s concrete deteriorated and had given
way to exposed rebar. The port district went through a grant application process through Cal Boating, which provided funds for the rebuild of the ramp. The launch ramp’s entrance used to be off Victoria but the busy street made it
