Project Description: A Special Permit and Coastal Development Permit for up to four one-day events annually, including and similar to the Timber Heritage Association’s annual Salmon, Oysters, Ales and Rails (SOAR) fundraising event with BBQ, live music, vendor booths and tours of THA’s shops and equipment. The events will be held at THA’s Samoa Complex. Attendance at the SOAR event will be no more than 400 attendees, with the three smaller events not to exceed 200 attendees. The events will begin no earlier than 10 AM and will be completed by 4 PM. Parking for the events will be provided on-site in designated areas and will include ADA accessible spaces. Temporary restroom facilities will be provided by porta-sans consistent with Division of Environmental Health standards. Temporary signage during the event may be provided to direct the public to the event location. The events may be held in conjunction with Speeder rides on the NCRA railway, beginning and ending on NCRA property adjacent to the THA Samoa Complex. Pedestrian access to the Speeder pick- up and drop off area may cross the Samoa Complex site. No new permanent improvements or development is proposed. NOTE: THA’s entitlement to host open house type tours and similar activities up to four times per month with fewer than 50 people per event is not affected by this permit request.
Recommendation
