Only one person spoke in favor of the proposed project which would create a commercial marina to launch and store private boats on 25 acres of unzoned, riverfront property on Riverside Road about three miles south of Creston. The first phase of the project would include construction of three ramps, two 40-foot docks and two storage buildings able to hold up to 90 boats. When fully constructed, the facility would include five storage buildings, making it capable of storing up to 270 boats – some as long as 44 feet. Peak use is estimated at 80 boat launches per day.
