Marina Updates:
Due to lake restrictions on size of a boathouse/deck, a walkway would have to split the two sides of the deck, but that shouldn't cause any problems. The subject of extending of having pilings extend up several feet to provide tie off points for the boats was brought up. The water level around the docks were sounded again, and they all were in excess of 7 feet. Also discussed with the Lake Palestine Marina was increased security for the cars provided by a gate, the amount of room for the parking of cars. And the possibility of crane at the docks for lifting masts and other heavy objects off of boats.Final approval is expected when the lake authority board meets on the third Thursday of February. Lake Palestine Marina expects the marina extension could be completed by the end of March. Emerald Bay Marina as agreed to provide a month by month extension if the other marina construction isn't complete.
Rick Walker is awaiting a response from Emerald Bay Marina on his latest proposal on Emerald Bay Marina assets.
