October 2013
Please be advised that Council amended the recommendations in the report at their Council meeting of
October 8, 2013.

WHEREAS Committee of the Whole at their meeting held October 1, 2013 considered a staff report
regarding the Marina Business Plan:

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the east beach marina plans be discontinued based upon
the capital cost to construct and the required net revenue/taxation to break even and that all other
components of the Consolidated Waterfront Master Plan be considered as a starting point for the
Waterfront and Harbour Working Group.

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the existing marina located along the river continue to operate
to serve the community and boaters and that the fees be increased to be more competitive with area
marinas to be included in the 2014 proposed fee schedule for approval and work towards improved cost
recovery.

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Marina Business Plan Report and recommendations for
the development of a 137 slip inner basin marina and related wave attenuation study be referred to the
Waterfront and Harbour Working Group for information and possible suggestions regarding its
deliberation and future planning and development of the Centre Pier which includes an active and built
presence.

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT it is recommended that should the inner basin marina
development not proceed, then the current yacht club agreement be discontinued at the end of the term
of May 2016 and that a new lease be negotiated for post return following the inner basin remediation, to
include discussion on the possible requirement to pay all or a portion of the dredging costs as determined
by Council and that the annual per linear foot user fee for each yacht club members’ boat be set at 60%
of that charge to seasonal recreation boaters using the wall at the existing marina for unserviced
dockage.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Shoreplan Engineering Limited (Shoreplan) and TOURISTICS were retained by the Municipality of Port
Hope to prepare a business plan for a potential marina development in Port Hope. Shoreplan addressed
issues of conceptual marina design, assessment and cost estimates. TOURISTICS addressed all issues
of market demand, economic analysis and financial feasibility. The marina business plan study looked at
options and opportunities for a potential new marina as well as for current marina operation with the view
that a financially viable marina can be a strong catalyst in the further development of the waterfront and
adjacent areas.

The study included a business case analysis of the two locations, the East Beach and the Inner Basin,
and identified the potential and costs associated with each. The study also reviewed the current marina
operations and provides recommendations for operational improvements.

Factors Affecting Demand for a New Marina

Demand for the proposed new marina on Port Hope’s waterfront depends on five significant factors
including: increased growth in the number of new boats in the market area; unsatisfied demand for
seasonal marina slips; a local and regional population with strong boater participation characteristics; a
stable local economy; and a large and growing transient boater market.

Between 2013 and 2028 the number of boats in the overall market area is projected to grow from about
231,450 boats in 2013 to 345,980 in 2028.

There are 32 marinas and yacht clubs within 50 kilometres of the Port Hope waterfront providing slips or
moorings for rent on a seasonal basis during the 2012 boating season. Nine of the marinas have waiting
lists for seasonal slips, and a number of others have boaters looking for longer slips. 2,056 seasonal slips
were occupied during the 2012 boating season representing an overall occupancy of 89.6 percent. At the
end of the 2012 boating season there was a need for 1,445 additional seasonal slips.

There are 373,190 persons living within the seasonal market area of the proposed Port Hope Marina
site(s), including 16,214 residing in Port Hope according to the 2011 census. Based on our analysis of the
socio-demographic characteristics of residents within Port Hope, Northumberland County, and the area
within 50 kilometres of Port Hope’s waterfront, it is clear that the broader 50 kilometre seasonal market
area will be a strong source of seasonal slip demand at the proposed marina.

The strength of the local economy is also an indicator of the business owners and residents ability to
support and use a marina in Port Hope. The number and value of residential, commercial and industrial
building permits has remained strong in the 2008 to 2012 period. In fact the number and value in 2012
exceeded that of any of the previous four years.

Further evidence of a strong and established local economy is revealed in a survey of area businesses
undertaken by the Port Hope Downtown Revitalization Project presented in a report titled Downtown
Commercial Retail Survey Results Report – June 2013. The report points out that:

 the length of business ownership within the downtown reflects the sustainability of the downtown
business area
 Of note, 56 percent of businesses have been in operation over 5 years which is deemed a critical
point of business survival
 As well, 44 percent have been in operation for over 10 years, which indicates the business area is
retaining business and offering sustainability over an extended period of time

A number of the major businesses in Port Hope have been located in the municipality for over 30 years, a
long enough period of time that it reflects stability.

vii
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

Based on industry research and interviews with marina and yacht club operators on Lake Ontario 96
percent of the transient boater demand can be expected to come from within 80 nautical miles of the
proposed Port Hope marina. During the 2012 boating season, there were 13,659 Ontario boats at 88
marinas and yacht clubs within 80 nautical miles of the proposed Port Hope marina site(s) and 4,280
boats at 36 marinas and yacht clubs in New York.

Approximately 4 percent of transient boater demand will come from beyond 80 nautical miles, typically
generated by long distance sailors or cruisers.

Based on the analysis of all of the above noted factors, there is sufficient unsatisfied demand for slips and
a sustainable local and regional economy sufficient to support a new marina on Port Hope’s waterfront.

Demand and Financial Projections

Demand and financial projections have been derived for four potential concepts on two sites. The Inner
Basin concept includes 137 slips, while the three East Beach location concepts include 250, 300 and 350
slips. Although there is sufficient seasonal and transient demand to support any one of the four proposed
concepts, the cash flow resulting from the financial projections is insufficient to cover the operating costs
as well as the principal and interest payments required to finance the construction. In consultation with
the Marina Business Plan Working Group it was decided that the Inner Basin Concept provided the most
affordable opportunity for a marina on Port Hope’s waterfront.

Marina Concepts

Four concepts were developed to address the market demands established in Phase 1 of the study.
Three concept sizes for the East Beach were selected, namely 250, 300 and 350 boat slips, in
consultation with the Marina Business Plan Working Group. These basin sizes were selected to represent
a range of sizes rather than a specific size determined by the market demand analysis. The Inner Basin
concept developed maximizes the number of slips while maintaining a functional layout.

Summary descriptions of the east beach concepts and a detailed description of the inner basin concept
are provided below. Table 1 provides a summary of the number of slips and estimated construction costs
and cost per slip of each concept. The costs outlined in Table 1 include construction contingencies and
an allowance for approval, design and construction administration of the project.

Table 1 Summary of Construction Costs of Preliminary Concepts

Concept No. of Slips Cost/Slip Construction Cost


East Beach -250 Slips 250 $121,000 $30.3 M
East Beach -300 Slips 300 $112,000 $33.5 M
East Beach -350 Slips 350 $100,000 $35.2 M
Inner Basin 137 $26,000 $3.6 M

East Beach Concepts

The concept developed for the east beach included a mix of nine, eleven and fourteen metre long slips.
All docks have power and water supplied to pedestals on the main docks. Security gates would be
located at the base of each of the main docks. The service dock includes fuel and pump-out.

A boardwalk is proposed to be located along the shore to provide easy access to the docks from the
parking areas. Parking is provided on the opposite side of the boardwalk. An access road to the marina
extends from King Street with parking lots on both sides and a drop-off area at the boardwalk. A marina
office/service building is proposed to include the marina office, washrooms and showers. Winter storage
would be provided in both parking lots. A haul out slip is located in the west part of the basin.

Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

The east beach marina basins will require dredging. For the 250 slip concept, the marina entrance is
directed through the existing river mouth and entrance. A modification of the existing breakwater on the
west side of the entrance is proposed. This extends the entrance into deeper water and reduces the wave
penetration into the Outer Harbour. For the 300 and 350 slips concepts the marina entrance is positioned
on the east side of the basin and oriented almost north. In all three cases a new by-passing shoal is
expected to develop around the new entrance breakwater and ongoing maintenance dredging will be
required. The land base created around the marina basin provides parkland. The size of the land area is
generally proportional to the size of the basin.

Inner Basin – Concept

A plan of this concept is presented on Figure 1. This concept is the smallest of the four options
considered. There are 69 nine metre long slips, 54 eleven metre long slips and 14 fourteen metre long
slips. The orientation of the slips in the north-south direction was selected to deal better with any wave
penetration that may occur once the approach channel and the inner basin shores are repaired and
modified under the Port Hope Area Initiative program. Boats with the long axis into the waves are more
stable and less likely to suffer damage. A preliminary analysis using a desk top method suggests that
waves penetrating into the Inner Basin should be in the order of 0.3 metres and therefore acceptable. If
additional reduction of wave penetration is required then entrance modifications similar to those proposed
for the west side of the exiting entrance under the East Beach – 250 Slip concepts is proposed. All docks
have power and water supplied to pedestals on the main docks. A service dock is proposed to be located
at the east end of the most northerly dock. The service dock includes fuel and pump-out.

No specific locations have been proposed for parking or winter storage. The site plan drawings indicate
“allocation” areas for both parking and winter storage requirements associated with this concept. They are
located on the Centre Pier. However, it is not intended that these must be located on the Centre Pier.
There are lands available on the north side of Hayward Street that may be used for some of these
functions. No Haul Out Slip or Travel Lift are included in this option. A marina office/service building
approximately 300 sq. m. in size including washrooms and showers is proposed to be located at the
north-east corner of the basin and to replace the existing PHYC building. However the existing yacht club
building could remain and the new proposed marina building be located on the Centre Pier or adjacent to
the existing Yacht Club. These details would be part of future detailed designs and planning.

No dredging is required within the inner basin. However, a maintenance dredging program in the Outer
Harbour is required annually as developed under the Port Hope Sediment Management and Dredging
Strategy and subsequent staff report as presented to the Commissioners of the Port Hope Harbor.

Approvals

The development of the marina will be subject to a number of approvals. Municipal approvals for the
building and site servicing will be required. Other approval agencies include Transport Canada,
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ministry of Natural Resources, Ganaraska Region Conservation
Authority, Ministry of the Environment and possibly other agencies as may be required under the
environmental review process.

Approval by Transport Canada (TC) is required under the Navigable Waters Protection Act (NWPA). Only
aspects of the project that impact the right to navigate are considered under this Act. The Department of
Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) will review the application under the Fisheries Act. The NWPA and the
Fisheries Act have undergone recent modifications and guidelines that will result are now being
developed. Details of approval requirements may vary in the future.

Approval from the Ministry of Natural Resources may be required under the Public Lands Act if the
selected project extends outside of the existing water lot owned by the municipality for the east beach
location. The cost of the water lot for the east beach is not included in the provided estimate. The
Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority will need to issue a permit under their Regulations 68/06,
Development, and Interference with Wetlands & Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Their
concerns would relate to shoreline hazards and protection of the natural environment.

The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) will be involved in two aspects of the approval process. They will
be concerned with the sediment quality and dredging and with the environmental assessment process.
The municipality is well experienced with maintenance dredging approval requirements.

An Individual Environmental Assessment under the Provincial Environmental Assessment Act will apply to
any of the concepts developed for the East Beach. The development of the Inner Basin concept without
the entrance modifications is not expected to be subject to an Individual Environmental Assessment since
the value of the construction work is estimated to be less than $3.5 m excluding buildings, and design
costs. However, should modifications of the entrance be required, the combined project may be subject to
an Individual Environmental Assessment.

Projected Demand for Seasonal Slips - Proposed Inner Basin Marina Concept

It is projected that the Inner Basin Marina will attract 89 seasonal boaters in its first operating year (2021),
increasing to 111 in 2025, and reaching full capacity by 2030 with all 137 of the slips allocated for
seasonal slip holders filled. Due to the shortage of longer docks at other marinas in the market area, we
have projected that the marina will fully occupy the 14 fourteen metre slips by the fifth year of operation.

Projected Demand for Transient Slips - Proposed Inner Basin Marina Concept

Despite the large number of projected boater days within the market area of the Inner Basin marina
location, it is not expected that the 12 transient slips will reach a high level of occupancy during the first
five or six years operation primarily due to the noise associated with regularly scheduled trains crossing
the train trestle north of the Inner Basin and the proximity of the CAMECO plant to the west of the Basin.
Once the planned 10 metre wide open green space on the west side of the Inner Basin is in place and the
appropriate flora is added it should help soften the reluctance of transient boaters being so close to an
industrial use area. Additionally the development of the Centre Pier as a mixed-use open space, built
environment and entertainment area will also provide an important inducement for attracting transient
boaters as well as focussing their attention away from the CAMECO plant. During holiday weekend days
we have projected that the number of transient boats will increase from 60 in 2021 to 70 by 2029. The
number of boats visiting the marina on already established special events weekend days will increase
from 30 in the opening year to 40 by 2026 and reach 50 by 2031.

xi
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

We have provided projections by length of slip used and length of stay for the 12 transient slips. Initially
we expect that stays of less than one day will make up the largest percentage of the transient boaters. As
the marina becomes more established in the market place and visitors become more familiar with the Port
Hope and the local area we expect that boaters will stay longer and the proportion of boaters staying one
day or longer will increase. Due to the noise from the trains, we expect that stays of more than one day
will continue to be smallest proportion of the market throughout the 2021 to 2031 time period. Overall we
have projected that the 12 transient slips in the Inner Basin will attract 160 boats in 2021, increasing to
170 by 2026, and reach 210 by 2031.

Financial Projections - Proposed Inner Basin Marina Concept

Financial projections are provided for the first eleven years of operation of the proposed Inner Basin
Marina (i.e. 2021 to 2031.

We have projected that revenues will increase from $402,720 in Year 1 to $546,090 in 2025 (Year 5), and
reach $721,710 by 2031. Disbursements will increase from $389,260 in 2021 to $614,220 by 2025, and
reach $729,880 by 2031. The Inner Basin Marina is projected to operate at a loss in each year in which
the dredging requires a full 5,000 cubic metres of material to be removed. With no dredging required in
Year 1 (2021) the Inner Basin marina will show a positive cash flow of $13,460 before debt service and
depreciation. Years 2 and 3 are projected to show a loss of $110,000 and $92,990 respectively. By 2025
the loss will decrease to $68,130, and by 2031 to $8,170. Even including an average annual dredging
cost exceeding $110,000, the average annual net income loss before debt service and depreciation over
the first 11 years of operation is $20,870 or less than one half that of the existing marina excluding the

Capital Cost Financing - Proposed Inner Basin Marina Concept

It is expected that the entire capital cost required to construct the marina and its land-based amenities will
be financed through municipal debentures. Since the major facilities in the marina (i.e. marina building,
docks, and breakwaters) have an expected life that exceeds 25 years we have assumed it will be
possible to obtain a municipal debenture with a 25 year amortization period to cover the projected total
capital cost of constructing the marina.

Based on the net income generated by the proposed Inner Basin Marina and the annual principal and
interest payments on a 25 year municipal debenture at 4.09 percent for the full $3,597,000 capital cost of

Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

the Inner Basin Marina it will require $218,990 in 2021 (Year 1) in net revenue/taxation for a breakeven
position. Over the first 11 years of operation the annual net revenue/taxation required to breakeven is
projected to range from a high of $342,450 to a low of $148,370.

Over the first 11 years of operation this concept will require an annual average municipal taxation of
$253,320 to breakeven. According to the Port Hope Finance Department, this would require an average
annual residential levy of $30.00.

The average annual net/revenue taxation required to breakeven with a $1,000,000 grant in place would
be $188,690. In this case the required average annual residential levy would be $23.00.

In the event that it is decided to proceed with the construction of the West Breakwater, the capital cost will
increase to $8,430,000. The annual debenture principal and interest payments of $544,770 will require an
annual average residential levy to breakeven of $61.00.

The average annual net/revenue taxation required to breakeven with a $1,000,000 grant for Inner Basin
Marina with the West Breakwater in place would be $444,270. In this case the required average annual
residential levy would be $53.00.

Economic Impacts from Construction of Proposed Inner Basin Marina

Approximately 20 percent (i.e. $719,400) of the total $3,597,000 capital budget for the 137 slip Inner
Basin marina will be required in 2020 and 80 percent (i.e. $2,877,600) in 2021.

Direct, indirect and induced gross domestic product expenditures in the Municipality of Port Hope and
Northumberland County resulting from the construction of the Inner Basin marina will increase from
$299,810 in 2020 to $1,199,250 in 2021.

Total direct, indirect and induced labour income in Port Hope and Northumberland County as a result of
the construction of the Inner Basin marina will be $203,520 in 2020 and $814,080 in 2021. This level of
labour income will create 2 direct new jobs in 2020 and 8 direct new jobs in 2021.

Economic Impacts Due to Operation of Proposed Inner Basin Marina

The expenditures used to determine the economic impact resulting from the operation of the marina come
from three sources:

 Total seasonal boater, transient boater, and non-boater resident and visitor expenditures at the
marina;
 Total seasonal boater expenditures away from the marina but within the Municipality of Port Hope
and Northumberland County; and,
 Total transient boater expenditures away from the marina but within the Municipality of Port Hope
and Northumberland County.

Total direct expenditures at the marina and other locations within Port Hope and the County will increase
from $504,870 in 2021, to $675,320 in 2025, and reach $896,520 by 2031.

Direct, indirect and induced gross domestic product expenditures in Port Hope and Northumberland
County will increase from $294,590 in 2021, to $394,040 in 2025, and reach $523,110 by 2031.

Total direct, indirect and induced labour income generated in Port Hope and Northumberland County as a
result of the operation of the Inner Basin Marina will increase from $193,350 in 2021 (Year 1), to
$258,630 in 2025 (Year 5), and reach $343,330 by 2031 (Year 11).

xiii
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

The total direct, indirect and induced jobs created as a result of the operation of the marina will increase
from 5 in 2021, to 7 in 2025, and reach 8 by 2028.

Operation of Proposed Inner Basin Marina

Direct management contracts and long-term leases are the most prominent lease arrangements for
municipalities that do not wish to operate the marina themselves.

There are two other means of developing a marina in a municipality, in both cases however, the
municipality’s only benefit is the taxes and economic impacts accrued as a result of the operation. The
opportunity may exist to have the marina developed as part of an adjacent or nearby residential
development which would then operate the marina. The other possibility, dockominiums, is relatively new
to Ontario and to-date has not proved to be very successful largely because of the short boating season
and the relatively high cost to purchase the dock space versus reasonable annual increases in slip
rentals. It is recommended that the Municipality of Port Hope own and operate the proposed marina.

Existing Marina Operation

The existing Port Hope Marina located at the mouth of the Ganaraska River is professionally and
competently run and managed.

The marina’s ability to improve its’ net income position is limited by the physical location rather than any
operational aspects. Given the location and services offered, in order to be competitive, the marina’s
seasonal fee schedule will likely always need to remain approximately 20 percent below that of other
major marinas within the seasonal market area.

Conclusions

• There is sufficient seasonal and transient boater demand to support a marina development on
Port Hope’s waterfront.

• None of the four proposed marina concepts is projected to cover both operating expenses and
debt financing costs without an annual residential levy during the 25 year debenture amortization
period.

• While the East Beach is the preferred location for a marina development, and all three proposed
concepts are projected to generate positive cash flows, there is little likelihood at the present time
that sufficient federal and provincial monies will be forthcoming to cover enough of the capital
costs to make any of the three reasonable development proposals for the Municipality.

• If Port Hope wishes to have a marina on the water front, the 137 slip Inner Basin Marina provides
the Municipality with the best business case opportunity under the foreseeable conditions.

• The average annual residential levy of $30.00 to breakeven (without any grants) makes the Inner
Basin Marina concept the most affordable of the four proposed concepts.

Recommendations

 That the East Beach Marina plans be discontinued based upon the capital costs to construct and
the required net revenue/taxation to breakeven and all other components of the Consolidated
Waterfront Master Plan, including the East Beach continue to be implemented as funds and
resources permit.

xiv
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

 That the existing marina located along the river continue to operate to serve the community and
boaters and that the fees be increased to be in line with with area marinas.

 That the proposed 137 slip Inner Basin Marina development be considered for approval subject to
the full capital costs being funded or a significant portion of the capital costs of $3,597,000 (based
upon no West Breakwater) to be sourced from grants or other funding sources.

 That a detailed study of wave penetration into the inner basin be completed at a budget cost of
$30,000 as the first step of the planning and implementation process and that development of the
inner basin be reconsidered if any modifications to the existing entrance is recommended by this
study. It is also recommended that an additional $5,000 be added to this budget to explore the
potential benefits, if any to the inner harbour operations associated from the temporary structures
built in the outer harbour as part of the PHAI site remediation.

Charter/Commercial boats $42.50/ft. $43.75/ft $44.35/ft.

 If the 137 slip Inner Basin Marina is approved, it is recommended that the Charter Fishing
Operators and launch ramp continue to operate at the existing marina, but all other existing
marina functions become a part of the Inner Harbour Marina. Marina staff and overnight contract
labor would monitor both locations. The existing Marina Building would be focused on the East
Beach with an alternative use.

 As an inducement to encourage the Port Hope Yacht Club members to stay in the proposed 137
slips full service Inner Basin Marina, it is recommended that the opening year rates for slips be
reduced by 20 percent for the yacht club members. It is further recommended that this reduction
be reduced by 2 percent each year between 2021 and 2031

If Inner Basin Development Does Not Proceed

 It is recommended that should the Inner Harbour Marina development not proceed, then the
current Yacht Club agreement be discontinued at the end of the term of May 2016, and that a
new lease be negotiated for their return to include the requirement to pay all or a portion of the
dredging costs as determined by Council.

 In addition, it is further recommended that the annual per linear foot user fee for each yacht club
member’s boat be set at 60 percent of that charged to seasonal recreational boaters using the
wall at the existing marina for un-serviced dockage.

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION

1.0 Background

Shoreplan Engineering Limited (Shoreplan) and TOURISTICS were retained by the Municipality of Port
Hope to prepare a business plan for a potential marina development in Port Hope. Shoreplan acted as
the prime consultant for the project and addressed issues of conceptual marina design, assessment and
cost estimates. TOURISTICS addressed all issues of market demand, economic analysis and financial
feasibility. The marina business plan study looked at options and opportunities for a potential new marina
as well as for the current marina operation with the view that a financially viable marina can be a strong
catalyst in the further development of the waterfront and adjacent areas.

The study included a business case analysis of the two locations and identified the potential and costs
associated with each. The study also reviewed the current marina operations and provides
recommendations for operational improvements.

The study determined the size of the market for both seasonal and transient slips, level of demand,
economic viability, capital costs and financial implications of operating a seasonal and transient marina
based upon two locations and new concepts developed by Shoreplan. Recommendations are also made
with respect to the types of marina and related facilities and services required to be sustainable and
include financial projections inclusive of estimated operating and capital costs.

1.1 Past Studies and Marina Initiative History

The Port Hope waterfront and marina has been subject to a number of studies and initiatives in the past.
Port Hope Waterfront Plan Update was completed in January 2002 and Marina Draft Final Report
completed in 2005 by the Planning Partnership. It identified the preferred marina option as the East
Beach development for 250 slips plus the opportunity to increase the capacity of the basin over time.

A Consolidated Waterfront Master Plan (CWMP) was approved in 2009 inclusive of a 250 slip Marina to
be developed in the future at the East Beach. This plan included extensive public consultation over an
extended period of time. The CWMP is intended to provide structure and vision for this long term ongoing
effort that will unfold in the Municipality over the next 10-15 years. The emphasis of the CWMP is on
public access to recreational, social and culture facilities. In contrast to the CWMP marina goals, the
Centre Pier Task Force recommended the development of a marina in the Inner Basin to be considered in
future development of Centre Pier in October of 2011.

The Corporate Strategic Plan, work on which started in 2010, identified implementation of the
Consolidated Waterfront Master Plan as a priority with a goal of completing a locations and business case
analysis to determine if the marina initiative and subsequent environmental assessment, if required,
should go forward. As part of the overall assessment, a Sediment Management and Dredging Strategy
Report was completed in 2012 by Geomorphic Solutions. It looked at causes of siltation in the harbour
and short term and long term dredging approaches.

This study by Shoreplan and TOURISTICS is addressing the locations and the business case of the
marina. The study also reviewed the current marina operations. The consultants met with the Marina
Business Plan Working Group (MBPWG) chaired by Mr. Joe Aiello with members being Keith Richan,
Greg Burns, John Buddo and Municipal staff.

1.2 Locations

Two locations were considered for the development of a municipal marina. The two locations are referred
to as the East Beach and the Inner Basin. Both locations are identified on Figure 1.1

The East Beach area is located, as the name indicates, east of the breakwaters that form the entrance to
the Port Hope harbour and the mouth of the Ganaraska River. This has been identified as a potential
location of a municipal marina in past studies.

The Inner Basin is the most northern part of the existing Port Hope harbour. It is a rectangular basin
approximately 130 meters wide and 200 meters long. It is used by the Port Hope Yacht Club under a
lease agreement with the Municipality.

1.3 Study Approach

In order to complete a detailed assessment of the feasibility of developing a marina on Port Hope
waterfront we have undertaken the following steps:

• Visited the site, and the nearby Port Hope waterfront to assess the current product offering.

• Conducted a field visit to each of the marinas within 50 kilometres of the Port Hope site.

• Conducted telephone interviews with the owner/operators of each of the marinas within 80
nautical miles of the Port Hope site.

• Obtained available data regarding the number and size of boats from the Ontario Marine
Operators Association, Canadian Coast Guard Office of Boating, Canada Customs, National
Marine Manufacturers Association - Canada, and National Marine Manufacturers Association
(U.S.).

• Contacted the Port Hope Yacht Club (PHYC); Port Hope Area Initiative (PHAI); CAMECO
Corporation; Downtown Revitalization Committee; Chamber of Commerce; Commissioners of the
Port Hope Harbor; and Municipal Departments of Economic Development Tourism; Finance;
Planning and Development Services; and Parks, Recreation and Culture for their opinions as well
as information and data relevant to the study process.

• Conducted telephone interviews with power and sailboat builders/manufacturers in Canada and
the United States to obtain data on the current and future length, beam, and draft of boats sold
and registered in Ontario, Quebec and New York, and any forecasts for growth in boating.

• Conducted telephone interviews with boating clubs on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River
in Ontario and New York within the market area of the proposed Port Hope marina site to obtain
an indication of their boating trips’ characteristics, their likelihood of using a seasonal and/or
transient marina on the Port Hope site, and their comments on other marinas they frequent.

• Prepared four marina concept plans with the appropriate basin size as supported by local
conditions and market analysis. Three at the East Beach locations and one at the Inner Basin.

• Prepared capital cost estimates for each of the four marina concepts.

• Projected revenues and disbursements for the first eleven operating years of the preferred marina
concepts.

2
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

• Projected direct expenditures; direct, indirect and induced Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
expenditures; labour income; jobs; and federal, provincial and municipal taxes resulting from the
construction and operation of the preferred marina concept.

• Provided descriptions of potential operating models for the proposed new marina and examples
of where they are currently in place, as well as a description of the necessary functions and
services which are part of a marina operation.

A meeting with the six representatives of the Port Hope Yacht Club was held at their club house on May
14, 2013. The meeting included discussions of the purpose of the study and the operations of the PHYC.

1.4 Report Format

The report is divided into ten sections or chapters. Section 1 is an introduction to the study and outlines
the purpose and a brief history of marina initiatives in Port Hope. Sections 2 to 4 outline the boat market
and demand in the area. Section 5 describes the concepts developed in the study and the associated
construction costs and approval requirements. Section 6 outlines the projected demand for slips in Port
Hope. Sections 7 and 8 outline the financial projection and economic impact of marina development.
Section 9 describes the potential operation model and section 10 deals with operation of the existing Port
Hope marina.

Figures and tables are inserted in the text of the reports as close to the first reference as practical.
Detailed exhibits dealing with financial and economic analysis are included in Appendix A. Detailed
construction cost estimates are included in Appendix B. An executive summary with recommendations is
included at the beginning of the report.

SECTION 2 – HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED NUMBER OF BOATS WITHIN THE


PROPOSED PORT HOPE MARINA’S BOATER MARKET

2.0 Introduction

Since 100 percent of the market for seasonal slips for the proposed Port Hope marina will come from
Ontario and over 95 percent of the market for transient slips will come from Ontario and New York, we
have concentrated our analysis regarding the number, length, beam, and draft of these boats on these
two geographic areas.

2.1 Historical Number of Boats by Length, Beam and Draft, 2007 to 2012

Since few boats under 6 metres (i.e. 20 feet) venture onto the Great Lakes for any extended period of
time, primarily for safety reasons, and there is a high propensity to trailer boats under 6 metres in length
to launch ramps for their use rather than occupying a marina slip or moorage, we have only considered
those boats 6 metres or longer as a base of comparison for our projections of Port Hope’s seasonal and
transient boater market. As shown in EXHIBIT 1, in 2010 there were approximately 159,970 of this size in
Ontario, and 54,270 in New York for a total of 214,240 registered power and sail boats in the market area.

The number of boats under 6 metres has increased an average of 0.3 percent per annum in Ontario, and
-0.8 percent in New York State, with only 2012 seeing a slight increase over 2011. Boats 6 metres or
more on the other hand have increased 4.1 percent per annum in Ontario. Those in New York have
increased only 0.1 percent each year between 2007 and 2012, with only 2011 and 2012 showing
increases over previous years.

Our interviews with government officials, boat manufacturers and marina owner/operators in Ontario, and
New York indicate that the stronger economic growth in Canada until 2008 and confidence in a return to a
stronger economy in 2011 and 2012 after the downturn of 2008-2010 was the reason why Ontario
boaters bought larger boats as first time buyers or traded-up for larger boats as repeat buyers at a faster
rate than those in New York. Our interviews with U.S. officials did indicate there are positive signs for an
economic recovery in New York State beyond 2010. Boat manufacturers and boaters also tell us that the
movement toward bigger boats results from a movement away from cottage ownership. Larger boats in
some cases have as many staterooms as cottages have bedrooms. The typical drive to a cottage in
Ontario is 1½ to 2 hours whereas to a seasonal slip it is normally 30 minutes.

2.1.1 Length

The number of boats 6 metres to less than 8 metres has increased 3.8 percent per annum between 2007
and 2012 in Ontario, and decreased 0.6 percent per annum in New York. Boats 8 metres to less than 9
metres have increased 2.4 percent per annum in Ontario, and 0.3 percent in New York. Those 9 metres
to less than 11 metres have increase 5.8 percent per annum in Ontario, and 1.4 percent in New York.
Boats 11 metres to less than 14 metres have increase 5.1 percent per annum in Ontario, and 1.4 percent
in New York State. In each market the greatest annual percentage increase took place in those boats 14
metres and greater in length (i.e. 5.9 percent per annum in Ontario, and 1.9 percent in New York). See
Figure 2.1 following. Our discussions with boating officials and marina owner/operators in New York
indicated that the wealthier boaters owning the largest boats have been less affected by the poor
economy in the United States since 2007. Boats in these five size categories are the ones that are
expected to use the proposed Port Hope marina.

2.1.2 Beam

Within Ontario, and New York there were approximately 858,590 power and sail boats with a beam of 2
metres to less than 3 metres; 33,280 from 3 metres to less than 4 metres; and 18,100 with a beam of 4 or
more metres in 2012.

Between 2007 and 2012, boats in Ontario with a beam of 2 metres to less than 3 metres saw an increase
of 0.0 percent annually. Those with a beam of 3 metres to less than 4 metres and 4 metres and wider
increased 5.8 percent and 6.0 percent per annum respectively. The increase in the width of boats in New
York State is less dramatic. Boats with a beam of 2 metres to less than 3 metres decreased 0.7 percent
per annum, while those 3 metres to less than 4 metres and 4 metres and wider increased by 0.4 percent
and 1.0 percent each year. See EXHIBIT 2 at the end of this report.

What is clearly evident from these numbers is that boats are getting longer and wider and marinas will
need to recognize this if they wish to main or possibly increase their share of the Ontario, and New York
State boater market.

2.1.3 Draft

As boats have grown in length and width between 2007 and 2012, their draft has also increased though
at a much more uniform rate than length and width. EXHIBIT 3 demonstrates that in Ontario the rate of
annual increase for boats with a draft of 0.61 metres to less than 1.52 metres was 0.8 percent per annum
while New York showed a decrease of 0.7 percent per annum. Those boats in Ontario with a draft of 1.52
metres to 1.83 metres and 1.83 metres and more increased 2.6 percent and 3.1 percent each year
respectively. Boats in New York showed the largest percentage increases in the 1.52 metres to 1.83
metres and 1.83 metres and more draft categories; 1.8 percent each year in the former and 1.2 percent
each year in the latter.

2.1.4 Specifications of Boats in Proposed Port Hope Marina’s Market Area

In addition to recognizing the length, width and draft of boats expected to use the proposed Port Hope
marina it will also be important that the marina’s design recognize the following ratios in length, width and
draft for power and sail boats in the configuration of space between the finger dock and in the fairways.
As indicated below, sail boats typically have a wider beam and require much greater draft in order to
create comparable stability with power boats.

2.2 Projected Number of Boats

Based on our discussions with boating officials, and boat manufacturers/builders in Canada and the
United States, we have projected that the total number of boats in Ontario 6 metres or more in length will
increase from approximately 165,500 in 2013; to 195,800 in 2018; to 208,100 by 2020; and reach
approximately 267,300 by 2028. Our discussions with boating officials in New York and the National
Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) in Chicago indicates that that the total number of boats in
New York State 6 metres or more in length will increase from 55,200 in 2013, to 59,600 in 2018, to
60,800 in 2020, and reach 65,900 by 2028. We have projected that the overall Ontario-New York market
area will increase from 220,700 registered power and sailboats in 2013 to 255,400 by 2018 and reach
333,200 by 2028.

Based on the data provided to us, we have projected a greater increase for Ontario compared to New
York because economists are predicting that the recovering economy in Canada and Ontario will continue
to outpace that of the United States and New York, and all of the boat manufacturers that we interviewed
are confident that sales and registration of larger boats in Ontario will exceed that exhibited between 2007
and 2012. While all indications are that the number of boats in all markets in each length category will
increase beyond 2012, we have chosen to take a more conservative growth rate (i.e. reduced growth
rate) beyond 2020 (i.e. for boats 8 metres to less than 9 metres, we have used a growth rate of 2.5 per
annum between 2013 and 2020 and 2.3 percent per annum from 2020 to 2028). See EXHIBIT 5A and
5B at the end of this report.

In EXHIBITS 5, 6 and 7, the growth projections use the size category as a base for projecting from the
2012 number. For example, in EXHIBIT 5 for Ontario, and New York a distinct growth rate was applied to
the 2012 base number in each category of length. The growth rate in each category was derived from
data available between 2007 and 2012 and the projections provided by boat manufacturers/builders in
Canada and the United States for what they will sell between 2013 and 2028 and the number of boats

that Transport Canada, Service Canada believes will be registered in Ontario and the number the New
York State Department of Motor Vehicles believes will be registered during the 2013 to 2028 time period.

2.2.1 Length

The number of power and sail boats in Ontario 6 metres to less than 8 metres will continue to represent
the largest share of boats in Port Hope marina’s market area during the 2013 to 2020 and 2020 to 2028
time periods. Boats in this category are projected to grow from approximately 114,800 in 2013, to
131,800 by 2018, 138,200 by 2020 and reach 167,100 by 2028. This represents an average annual
growth rate between 2013 and 2020 of 2.9 percent and 2.6 percent per annum between 2020 and 2028.
The higher growth rate among those boats of greater length exhibited between 2007 and 2012 is
projected to continue between 2013 and 2028. Boats 8 metres to less than 9 metres are projected to
grow 2.5 percent per annum between 2013 and 2020 and a further 2.3 percent each year between 2020
and 2028. Those Ontario boats from 9 metres to less than 11 metres are projected to increase 6.6 and
6.1 percent per annum between 2013 and 2020 and 2020 and 2028 respectively. Boats 11 metres to
less than 14 metres are projected increase by 5.8 percent each year between 2013 and 2020 and a
further 5.6 percent between 2020 and 2028. The largest boats, those 14 metres and more in length are
projected to have the highest growth rate per annum at 7.0 percent between 2013 and 2020 and another
6.8 percent each year between 2020 and 2028. See EXHIBIT 5A and 5B.

Figure 2.2 following show that although the number of boats in Ontario 8 metres to less than 9 metres in
length has and will continue increase, the percentage share of this size of boats has and will decrease
relative to those 9 metres and over. Although boats 9 metres and longer will continue to increase their
share of the boat market, those less than 9 metres will continue to dominate the market for the
foreseeable future.

Based on the improved economic growth forecasts for the United States and New York State beyond
2012, we are able to project a positive growth rate for boats 6 metres to less than 8 metres, between
2013 and 2020 (i.e. 1.0%) and 2020 and 2028 (i.e. 0.3%). New York boats 8 metres to less than 9
metres are projected to grow 1.5 percent and 1.1 percent per annum between 2013 and 2020 and 2020
and 2028 respectively. Those boats 9 metres to less than 11 metres are projected to increase 2.1

percent per annum from 2013 until 2020 and a further 2.0 percent each year between 2020 and 2028.
Boats 11 metres to less than 14 metres are projected to grow 2.2 percent and another 2.5 percent each
year between 2013 and 2020 and 2020 and 2028 respectively. As in Ontario, boats 14 metres and longer
in New York are projected to exhibit the strongest growth rates at 2.7 percent per annum between both
2013 and 2020 and 2020 and 2028.

Between 2013 and 2028 the number of boats in the overall market area is projected to grow as shown in
Table 2.2.

2.2.2 Beam

The trend toward wider boats in the years 2007 to 2012 is also expected to continue for the period
between 2013 and 2028. See EXHIBIT 6A and 6B. Within Ontario, the number of boats with a beam of 2
metres to less than 3 metres is projected to grow 0.7 percent per annum between 2013 and 2020 and 1.0
percent between 2020 and 2028, whereas boats 3 metres to less than 4 metres wide are projected to
increase 5.7 percent per annum between 2013 and 2020 and a further 6.1 percent per annum between
2020 and 2028. Boats with the widest beam (i.e. 4 metres or more) are projected grow by 6.0 percent
each year from 2013 until 2020 and 6.4 percent each year from 2020 through 2028.

Boats in New York State with the narrowest beam (i.e. 2 metres to less than 3 metres) are projected to
increase slightly between 2013 and 2020 at 0.1 percent per annum and increase even more slightly at
0.02 percent each year between 2020 and 2028. Those boats with a beam of 3 metres to less than 4
metres are projected to increase 3.9 percent each year between 2013 and 2020 and a further 3.5 percent
per year from 2020 to 2028. Between 2013 and 2020 boats in New York with a beam of 4 metres or
more are projected to increase by 4.3 percent each year and between 2020 and 2028 by 3.9 percent per
annum.

While the strongest growth rates in both geographic markets are projected for those boats with a beam of
3 metres or more, boats 2 metres to less than 3 metres wide will continue to dominate Port Hope’s market
area. The number of boats in the overall market area with a beam of 3 metres or more is projected to
increase from approximately 50,500 in 2013, to 63,100 by 2018, to 69,100 by 2020, and reach 99,800 by
2028.

2.2.3 Draft

Boats in Ontario with a draft of 0.61 metres to less than 0.91 metres, and 0.91 metres to less than 1.22
metres are projected to increase by 0.6 percent each year between 2013 and 2020 and a further 0.7
percent each year between 2020 and 2028. Those boats 1.22 metres to less than 1.52 metres in draft
are projected to increase by 1.9 percent each year between 2013 and 2020, and 2020 and 2028. Ontario
boats with a draft of 1.52 metres to less than 1.83 metres are projected to increase by 2.5 percent per
annum between 2013 and 2020 and the same 2.5 percent per annum between 2020 and 2028. Boats
with the deepest draft (i.e. 1.83 metres or more) are projected to have the greatest percentage increases

9
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

each year between 2013 and 2020 and 2020 and 2028 at 3.1 percent and 3.2 percent per annum
respectively. See EXHIBIT 7A and 7B at the end of this report.

Boats in New York State requiring a draft of 0.61 metres to less than 0.91 metres and 0.91 metres to less
than 1.22 metres are projected to increase slightly between 2013 and 2020 and 2020 and 2028 at 0.2
percent per annum. Those boats requiring a draft of 1.22 metres to less than 1.52 metres are projected
to increase slightly by 0.5 percent each year between 2013 and 2020 and 0.4 percent each year between
2020 and 2028. New York boats in the deepest draft category (i.e. 1.83 metres and more) are projected
to have a much larger growth rate each year between 2013 and 2020, and 2020 and 2028 than all the
other boats of lesser draft at 3.8 percent per annum and 4.4 percent per annum respectively.

In the overall market area for the proposed Port Hope marina, boats with a draft of 0.91 metres to less
than 1.22 metres are projected to increase from approximately 206,000 in 2013, to 213,600 by 2020 and
reach approximately 222,900 by 2028. Boats with a draft of 1.22 metres to less than 1.52 metres are
projected to increase from approximately 42,900 in 2013 to 47,200 in 2020 and reach approximately
52,600 by 2028. Those boats in the two deepest draft categories will grow from approximately 5,700 in
2013 to 6,900 by 2020 and reach approximately 8,200 by 2028.

In order for the proposed marina on Port Hope’s waterfront to accommodate the existing and projected
power and sail boats in its’ market area, it will be necessary to ensure that the basin and entrance are in
the 2.0 to 2.5 metres below datum range. If the marina is to be considered as part of a harbour of safe
refuge, the depth at the entrance will need to be 4 metres below datum.

SECTION 3 – NEED FOR SEASONAL SLIPS

3.0 Introduction

According to a recent study conducted by the National Marine Manufacturers Association the maximum
distance that boaters prefer to travel to a marina to use their boat on a regular basis is 50 kilometres or
approximately 30 minutes driving time. In the case of Port Hope this would include the area from Whitby
in the west to Brighton in the east and a line running roughly through the communities of Caesarea,
Bridgenorth and Hastings to the north. While this is considered the prime market area, there are a
number of factors which may affect the size of the market area, among these are: a lack of sufficient slips
beyond the 50 kilometre area; a price sensitive market area beyond the 50 kilometre area; a large price
differential between the core market area and outlying areas; proximity to prime boating waters; and
convenient location for leaving a boat. In order to provide as conservative an estimate as possible we
have chosen to use the 50 kilometre market in our determination of seasonal slip demand.

In order to determine the need for a marina in Port Hope, it is necessary to review four major factors:

 The growth in the number of power and sail boats in the seasonal market area and the changes
in their length, beam and draft, as we did in the previous Section of this report;

 The existing marina facilities within 50 kilometres of the site(s) to determine their ability to meet
the current and future demand, and the overall occupancy rate of the marinas within the seasonal
market area;

 It is also necessary to determine if the population living within the market area of the proposed
marina exhibits characteristics that are strong determinants of boating demand; and,

 Whether or not the municipality considering development of the marina exhibits a stable economy
with growth potential and is therefore capable of supporting the marina.

3.1 Existing Seasonal Marinas Within a 50 Kilometre Radius

There are 32 marinas and yacht clubs within 50 kilometres of the Port Hope waterfront providing slips or
moorings for rent on a seasonal basis during the 2012 boating season. Gores Landing Park & Marina in
Gores Landing and Willow Bend Marina in Peterborough did not operate in 2012 but are now under new
ownership and will be open for business in 2013. See EXHIBIT 8A. All facilities offer both seasonal and
transient slips. Many of the yacht clubs designate a number of reciprocal slips to be used by boats from
other yacht clubs providing a similar service. Some of the marinas will also allow transient boaters to use
the seasonal slips when the seasonal boater is known to be away on an extended trip. The five largest
providers of seasonal slips are Port Whitby Marina with 395, and Whitby Yacht Club 245; Port of
Newcastle Marina with 210, Golden Beach Resort and Condominiums with 200 in Roseneath on Rice
Lake; Shady Acres Cottages with 190 in Keene, also on Rice Lake; and Town of Cobourg Marina with
167. Port Hope Yacht Club is the only facility within the seasonal market area that offers moorings rather
than slips.

Among the facilities and services most frequently found at marinas and yacht clubs within the seasonal
market area are: showers and heads (90.6%); ice and water (84.4%); water hook-ups (84.4%); picnic
tables (81.3%); launch ramps (75.0%); fuel docks with limited fuel (71.9%); gas BBQ’s (68.8%); food and
beverage services (i.e. provided through a clubhouse, convenience store and/or snack bar), (62.5%);
winter storage (56.3%); 30+ amp power at each slip (53.1); and haulouts (i.e. accomplished with a travel
lift, fork lift, hydraulic trailer, and/or crane), (53.1 %); pump outs (50.0%); and playgrounds/recreation
areas (50.3%). See EXHIBIT 8A and 8B at the end of this report and Figure 3.1 following. Less
frequently provided are showers, heads, and laundry facilities (43.8%); fuel docks with gas, diesel fuel
and propane (40.6%); beach and/or pool (40.6%); and access to wireless internet service (34.4%). To be

11
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

successful, a new marina on Port Hope’s waterfront will need to provide the vast majority of these
facilities as well as having well trained, friendly service-oriented staff.

In the broader Ontario, Canadian and U.S. boater market an increasing number of marinas are providing
cable TV hook-ups and/or wireless internet at each of the slips; 50+ amp power; some form of covered
space to be used during inclement weather; complimentary shuttle services; information kiosks; quick-
service phone connections (i.e. marine supplies, dry cleaning, groceries, etc.); individual hook ups to
pump out using a vacuum system; complimentary bicycles; and rentals (i.e. bicycles, mopeds, small
boats, etc.).

Nine of the marinas have waiting lists for seasonal slips, and a number of others have boaters looking for
longer slips (i.e. 11 metres or 36 feet or more). We are not aware of any marinas within the seasonal
market area that will be adding slips in time for the 2013 boating season. However, as mentioned
previously, Gores Landing Park & Marina in Gores Landing and Willow Bend Marina in Peterborough will
re-open in 2013 under new ownership with a combined total of 70 slips suitable of accommodating boats
6 metres and longer

Slip rental rates for the 2012 boating season ranged from a low of $22.00 per linear foot at Port Hope
Harbour Marina and $30.00 at Lang’s Resort & Marina on Rice Lake to a high of $61.78 per linear foot at
Port Whitby Marina and $59.00 at the Town of Cobourg Marina. Port Darlington Marina charged $50.00
per linear foot (includes launch, use of marina facilities, free pump out, cradle/trailer storage, extra power
$50.00/month). Rates for winter storage which can be an important source of revenue for a marina
provided their sufficient secured space range from a low of $12.00 per linear foot at Hastings Village
Marina and the Cobourg Yacht Club and $14.00 per linear foot at Stevenson’s Marina in Hastings on the
Trent Severn Waterway to a high of $32.00 a linear foot at Port of Newcastle Marina, Pratt’s Landing
Marina in Gores Landing and River Bend Marina in Peterborough. It should be noted that $32.00 charge
at Port of Newcastle Marina includes haul out, wash, block & mast unstopping and at River Bend Marina
it includes haul out in fall, outdoor storage, pump out, launch in spring. Many marinas are now offering a
shrink wrapping service after haulout in the fall in the $12.00 to $15.00 per foot range, and most charge
either a flat fee or per linear foot charge for the storage of trailers, cradles and boats on land during the
summer. See EXHIBIT 8C at the end of this report. With the appropriate mix of marina facilities and
services a new marina on Port Hope’s waterfront should be able to capture a high proportion of the
boaters on waiting lists at area marinas and may even appeal to a number of boaters on Metropolitan
Toronto’s eastern waterfront currently paying $80.00 or more per linear foot for seasonal dockage. Outer
Harbour Marina for example will be charging $94.45 per linear foot for 30 amp power, and $102.85 per
linear foot for 50 amp power in 2013. These rates are in effect from May 1 until October 31 and include
hydro, water and parking.

According to our discussions with marina owner/operators, 2,056 seasonal slips were occupied during the
2012 boating season representing an overall occupancy of 89.6 percent.

3.2 Socio-demographic Characteristics of the Resident Market

There are 373,190 persons living within the seasonal market area of the proposed Port Hope Marina
site(s), including 16,214 residing in Port Hope according to the 2011 census. It is evident when looking at
the age characteristics of the resident market that Port Hope is comparable to the province, it is under-
represented in some age categories and over-represented in others. Among males 35 to 44 the age
group with the highest participation in boating (i.e. 22.9%), Port Hope, Northumberland County and the
area within 50 kilometres all have a lower proportion of individuals in this category than the province (i.e.
11.0%, 10.8%, 12.6% and 15.8% respectively). The second highest participation rate among males falls
in the 45 to 54 year age category (i.e. 19.0%), in this case all three areas are over-represented when
compared to the province (i.e. 16.7%, 16.9%, 17.0% and 15.3% respectively). See EXHIBIT 9 at the end
of this report and FIGURE 3.2 following. In the 25 to 34 age group where the participation rate is 17.8
percent (third highest), all areas are again under-represented with the entire seasonal market area the
closest to the province at 10.6% compared to 12.5%, followed by 9.4% for Port Hope and 8.6% for
Northumberland County. The same pattern occurs with the proportion of females in the three geographic
areas compared to the province. The proportion of the female population within Port Hope (i.e. 10.8%),
Northumberland County (i.e. 10.7%), and the area from 0 to 50 kilometres (i.e. 13.1%) is under-
represented compared to the province (i.e. 15.7%) in the 35 to 44 age group which has the highest
participation rate in boating (i.e. 18.9%). Females in the 45 to 54 age group, the category with the second
highest participation rate in boating (i.e. 16.3%) are over-represented in all three area when compared to
the province with Port Hope the most over-represented (i.e. 17.2% vs. 15.3%). Northumberland County
is the least over-represented at 16.9% followed by the area from 0 to 50 kilometres at 17.0%. In the 25 to
34 age group (third highest participation rate 14.4%), females are under-represented in Northumberland
County (i.e. 8.3%), under-represented in Port Hope (9.4%), and under-represented in the area from 0 to
50 kilometres (10.8%), when compared to Ontario’s 12.7 percent.

The higher the level of education attained the higher the level of participation in boating as shown by a
21.2 percent participation rate for those with some university education and 25.5 percent for those with a
degree. Port Hope, the county and the overall market area within 50 kilometres of the proposed marina
site(s) are all well under-represented compared to that of the province among those with a university
degree (i.e. 12.5%, 11.1%, and 13.7% compared to 20.5% respectively. Those with some university
education although still under-represented in all three geographic market area are much closer to the
percentage of all those in Ontario (i.e. 2.9%, 3.0%, 3.4% compared to 4.1% respectively). Based on the
actual number of residents this still represents approximately 2,000 individuals in Port Hope, 9,300 in
Northumberland, and 48,200 within the overall market area in these two education categories with a high
propensity to participate in boating and thus potential users of facilities and services offered at the
proposed marina.

Occupation is a socio-demographic characteristic that is also a strong determinant of participation in


boating. Within Port Hope, Northumberland County and overall 50 kilometre market area there are
proportionally slightly fewer individuals in professional/managerial/administrative occupations (i.e. 39.4%,
37.6%, and 44.0% respectively compared to the province’s 45.7%), the occupation category with the
highest participation level in boating (i.e. 28.8%). On the other hand, skilled labour persons who have the
second highest participation rate in boating (i.e. 24.6%) are slightly over-represented in all three
geographic areas (i.e. 23.7% in Port Hope, 23.0% in Northumberland County, and 22.1% in the overall
market) compared to 21.1 percent in Ontario. Despite being slightly under-represented in
professional/managerial/administrative occupations there are still approximately 3,300 individuals in Port
Hope employed in this category, 15,000 in the County, and 82,500 within 50 kilometres of the proposed
marina site(s).

Household income is the strongest determinant for participation in boating. Median household income in
Port Hope is only 0.1 percent lower than the province (i.e. $60,382 versus $60,455). While the income
level in Northumberland County is 7.7% ($55,802) lower than the province, that of the overall seasonal
market area is 11.0% above ($67,098), largely because of the high median household income levels in
Durham Region. Within the income group $75,000 to $99,999 which has the second highest participation
rate in boating (i.e. 28.7%), Port Hope is over-represented by 4.1 percent, the County by 2.7 percent and
the overall market area by 5.9 percent (i.e. 18.5%, 17.1%, and 20.3% respectively compared to 14.4% for
Ontario). Households with an average income of $40,000 to $74,999 have the third highest participation
rate in boating at 19.2 percent. In this case, Port Hope is slightly over-represented by 2.5 percent (i.e.
33.5%) and the overall market area slightly under-represented by 2.7 percent (i.e. 28.3%), compared to
the province’s 31.0 percent.

Based on our analysis of the socio-demographic characteristics of residents within Port Hope,
Northumberland County, and the area within 50 kilometres of Port Hope’s waterfront, it is clear that the
broader 50 kilometre seasonal market area will be a strong source of seasonal slip demand at the
proposed marina site(s).

FIGURE 3.3 following shows the number of persons in each category with the highest participation rate in
boating (e.g. there are 1,300 males in Port Hope; 6,800 males in Northumberland County; and 31,000
males within 50 kilometres of the proposed waterfront sites in the 35 to 44 age group category, which has
a 22.9% participation rate in boating).

3.3 Strength of the Local Economy

The strength of the local economy is also an indicator of the business owners and residents ability to
support and use a marina in Port Hope. A number of the major businesses in Port Hope (i.e. CpK Interior
Products, Cameco Corporation, Esco Ltd & Viceroy Homes) have been located in the municipality for
over 30 years, a long enough period of time that it reflects stability. The number and value of residential,
commercial and industrial building permits has remained strong in the 2008 to 2012 period (See EXHIBIT
10), in fact the number and value in 2012 exceeded that of any of the previous four years. The Economic
Development Strategic Plan Update, February 8, 2011 indicated that:

 professional occupations in business and finance grew 189% between 2001 and 2010
 there were significant gains in professional and technical occupations between 2006 and 2010,
and
 there was a significant increase in the number of businesses (i.e. 42%) from 2002 to 2010

A report titled Socio-Economic Effect Monitoring Annual Report 2011 - Port Hope, May 2012 indicated
that a 2011 survey reported that 21.7 percent of businesses had plans to expand in the near future.
Further evidence of a strong and established local economy is revealed in a survey of area businesses
undertaken by the Port Hope Downtown Revitalization Project presented in a report titled “Downtown
Commercial Retail Survey Results Report – June 2013”. The report points out that:

 the length of business ownership within the downtown reflects the sustainability of the downtown
business area
 Of note, 56 percent of businesses have been in operation over 5 years which is deemed a critical
point of business survival
 As well, 44 percent have been in operation for over 10 years, which indicates the business area is
retaining business and offering sustainability over an extended period of time

3.4 Opportunity for Commercial Seasonal Slip Rentals

The increase in the charter fishing business on Lake Ontario and the over capacity at slips for these boats
at Port of Newcastle Marina and Port Darlington Marina, offers an opportunity for Port Hope to increase
its’ participation in this business at the proposed marina site(s).

The charter boat fishing industry went through a contraction over a decade ago due in part to Transport
Canada rules related to commercial vessels and the Federal-Provincial business tax rules which
eliminated many small operators. While the charter fishing fleet is smaller now than it was in the late
1980’s, according to our interviews with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources; Jean-Francois Neron
(Executive Director of Ontario Sports Fishing Guides Association); charter fishing operators currently
operating out of Bowmanville, Cobourg, Newcastle, Port Hope, and Whitby; and the marina managers in
Bowmanville and Newcastle the demand for charter fishing on Lake Ontario is on the increase. In 2012,
there were 8 to 10 boats operating out of Port Hope, 4 or 5 out of Cobourg, 35 to 40 out of Newcastle, 30
to 35 out of Bowmanville, and 5 or 6 out of Whitby. The Ministry of Natural Resources considers Port
Hope an ideal location due to the benefits provided by the Ganaraska River which has significant runs of
wild trout, the relatively short distance to travel offshore to catch fish and the fact that there are limited
ports to the east.

18
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

The Port of Newcastle Marina is building additional condominiums and offering marina slips as an
inducement to purchase a unit, as a result the large charter fishing fleet currently using the Newcastle
marina facilities will be forced to look for alternative ports in next three to four years. Port Darlington
Marina in Bowmanville has no more space for seasonal boaters or charter fishing boats.

The boats used in charter fishing range from 8 to 15 metre in length (i.e. 26 to 50 feet) with the majority in
the 8 to 9 metre range (i.e. 26 to 30 feet). The fishing season occurs from mid June until September 1.
Each boat will make one trip per day during this time period, leaving port at approximately 5:30 am., and
staying out from five to eight hours. According to the charter fishing operators the ideal requirements of a
port hosting charter fishing are: a fuel dock (gas, most boats use gas not diesel fuel), pump-out, ice, a
freezer (ideally like the one in Port Darlington), and a fish cleaning station. It is recognized that a fish
cleaning station is very messy and smelly and therefore not ideal for most marinas.

In looking at the two potential marina sites in Port Hope, consideration will be given to the design issues
associated with including charter fishing as part of the overall marina business plan.

3.5 Need for Seasonal Slips in Proposed Port Hope Marina’s Market Area

Based on our interviews with marina owner/operators in the market area of the proposed marina sites we
have assumed that the boats requiring seasonal slips are 6 metres or more in length (i.e. approximately
20 feet or more). As shown in EXHIBIT 11, we estimate that there were approximately 4,600 boats 6
metres or more in length in the market area in 2012. Since data on the number of registered boats in
Ontario are not county or region specific, we have arrived at our estimate of boats by dividing the number
of boats in Ontario by the population. This provides us with the number of persons per boat (i.e. 81.3) or
that there is one boat of this size for every 81.3 persons. By dividing the population of each of the
counties making up the market area within 50 kilometres of Port Hope’s waterfront by the number of
residents per boat in the market area we arrive at the number of seasonal boats (e.g. 377,090/81.3 =
4,635 seasonal boats). Since we are using averages, it is recognized that some areas may be over-
estimated and some under-estimated. Overall we believe that it provides a reasonable estimate given the
data available. This approach is widely used by private and public sector marina developers in North
America and Australia to estimate the number of boats in the market area. The U.S. National Park
Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) use this approach in their watershed area studies in
the United States as does Parks Canada.

In arriving at the number of boats that require seasonal slips at commercial marinas it is necessary to
eliminate those that are moored at private docks or boathouses and those that are trailered to a launch
ramp on a per use basis. Our discussions with local planners and officials at Conservation Authorities
indicated that there is no readily available data regarding the number of residences in the market area
with docks or boathouses. They suggested that a conservative estimate would be that 10% of the
households with waterfront property on Lake Ontario and the portion of the Trent Severn Waterway within
50 kilometres of Port Hope have boats moored at private docks or boathouses. Our discussions with the
National Marine Manufacturers Association - Canada and a number of Canadian boat trailer sellers
provided an estimate of approximately 20% of boats 6 metres to less than 8 metres and 3% of boats 8
metres or longer are trailered to launch ramps on a per use basis. See EXHIBIT 12 at the end of this
report.

By comparing the number of seasonal slips available in the market area in 2011 with the number of
seasonal boats as derived in EXHIBIT 12, it is evident that there is more demand than supply and
additional slips are needed. Our interviews with planning officials in Bowmanville, Brighton, Cobourg,
Hastings, Newcastle, Oshawa, Peterborough, Whitby, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland, Peterborough,
Regional Municipality of Durham, and the area Conservation Authorities indicated that other than the 150
additional seasonal slips for the Town of Cobourg Marina by 2016, and the possibility of a new 185
seasonal slips in Oshawa by 2019 there are no known plans for new marinas in any of these areas that
will result in additional slips being in place within the next 5 years (i.e. 2018). The Ontario Marine
Operators Association indicates that in the past two to three years there has been a reduction of over

19
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

1,000 slips in Ontario, due to smaller privately run 100 to 150 slip marinas closing and re-developing as
alternative-use recreational and residential properties. There is also a theory among marina operators
and boat manufacturers today, that if there are no adequate slips at a port, the number of boats in the
area will reflect this deficiency. If on the other hand, quality facilities are offered, these facilities will
actually foster boat ownership and activity in the area. Cobourg Marina and Meyer’s Pier in Belleville are
direct examples of this theory.

We estimate that at the end of the boating season in 2012 there was a need for between 1,4451 and
2,3402 additional slips. Assuming that Cobourg Marina has 150 new slips in place in time for the 2016
boating season, the need for additional seasonal slips will reach between 1,8001 and 2,8102. By 2018,
likely the first operational year for a new marina in Port Hope the need for additional slips will rise to
between 2,1201 and 3,0102. See EXHIBIT 12.

The trend toward longer and wider boats will have a significant impact on a number of the older existing
marinas in the market area of the proposed Port Hope marina, especially those in Bowmanville and
Peterborough where the finger docks are short and the fairways narrow. It is evident that there is a
current and future need for seasonal slips in the 10.67 metre (35 foot), 12.12 metre (40 foot), and 13.72
metre (45 foot) range. Shoreplan Engineering’s concept designs for the proposed Port Hope marina
reflects this need for longer finger docks and wider fairways.

Clearly, there is a need for additional slips in the central portion of Lake Ontario, and an existing and
growing market for seasonal slips that the proposed Port Hope marina would be able to attract.

SECTION 4 – MARKET FOR POTENTIAL TRANSIENT BOATS VISITING PROPOSED PORT


HOPE MARINA

4.0 Introduction

Two sources of information were used in determining the likely market area for transient slips at the
proposed Port Hope marina: a 2005 Great Lakes boating survey and our interviews with 75 yacht and
boating clubs on Lake Ontario in Ontario and New York within the market area of Port Hope. The 2005
Great Lakes Boating Survey, was conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Michigan
Department of Natural Resources, and Michigan State University, Department of Parks, Recreation and
Tourism Resources.

4.1 Transient Boater Market Area

According to the Great Lakes Boating Survey, 60 percent of boater’s days away from their home marina
are spent within 20 nautical miles. A further 20 percent are spent within 21 and 40 nautical miles, 10
percent within 41 to 60 nautical miles, 6 percent within 61 to 80 nautical miles, and the final 4 percent
beyond 80 nautical miles. See EXHIBIT 13 at the end of this report.

Our telephone interviews with the yacht and boating clubs in Ontario and New York State situated on
Lake Ontario provided an indication of the boating trips’ characteristics, their likelihood of using a
transient slip in Port Hope, and their comments on other marinas they frequent. The information obtained
through our boater survey confirmed the results of the larger Great Lakes survey. For this reason, we
have defined the transient boater market area for the proposed Port Hope marina as follows:

 60 percent of boater demand will come from the Cobourg to Bowmanville area (i.e. within 20
nautical miles of the Port Hope sites). During the 2012 boating season, there were 5 marinas and
yacht clubs within 20 nautical miles, all within Ontario, mooring a total of 457 boats. See
EXHIBIT 16A.

 80 percent of boater demand will come from within 40 nautical miles of Port Hope (i.e. Quinte
West and Wellington to the east, and Pickering to the west in Ontario; and Kendall to the East in
New York on the south side of Lake Ontario, and Wilson in the west). During the 2012 boating
season there were 19 marinas and yacht clubs in Ontario within 21 to 40 nautical miles, with
1,515 boats, and 13 marinas and Yacht clubs in New York with 781 boats. See EXHIBIT 16B.

 90 percent of transient boater demand will come from within 60 nautical miles of the Port Hope
site(s) (i.e. Deseronto and Waupoos to the east, Campbellford on the Trent Severn Waterway to
the northeast, and Toronto to the west in Ontario; and Irondequoit to the east in New York and
Lewiston to the west). There were 55 marinas and yacht clubs operating seasonal slips during
the 2012 boating season within 41 to 60 nautical miles, of these 40 were in Ontario and 15 in
New York, mooring 6,395 boats in Ontario and 2,818 in New York respectively. See EXHIBIT
16C.

 As indicated previously, 96 percent of transient boater demand will come from within 80 nautical
miles of Port Hope (i.e. Kingston to the east, Hastings on the Trent Severn Waterway to the
northeast, and St. Catharines to the west in Ontario; and Sodus Point to the east on the south
shore of Lake Ontario and Pultneyville to the west). Thirty four marinas and yacht clubs were
open for business in this area during the 2012 boating season, mooring 5,973 boats. Of these
5,292 boats were kept at 26 marinas and yacht clubs in Ontario and 681 at 8 marinas and yacht
clubs in New York. See EXHIBIT 16D at the end of this report.

21
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

 During the 2012 boating season, there were 13,659 Ontario boats moored at 88 marinas and
yacht clubs within 80 nautical miles of the proposed Port Hope marina site(s) and 4,280 boats at
36 marinas and yacht clubs in New York.

 Approximately 4 percent of transient boater demand will come from beyond 80 nautical miles,
typically generated by long distance sailors or cruisers.

4.2 Existing Number of Transient Boats in Market Area

The number of transient boats visiting the proposed Port Hope marina is dependent on the number of
boats within the market and their distance from the proposed marina. In the 2012 boating season there
were 17,939 occupied slips (i.e. 17,939 boats) within 80 nautical miles of Port Hope. Of these, 457 were
within 20 nautical miles and would have the greatest likelihood of visiting the marina on one or more
occasions. The least likely are those 5,973 boats within 61 to 80 nautical miles.

According to surveys conducted by the National Marine Manufacturers Association in the U.S. in 2011
and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Canada in 2010 the average number of days that a
boater is typically away from his/her home marina differs for power and sailboats. In Canada the average
for power boats is 30 days and for sailboats 22 days. In the U.S. the average is the same for power boats
but higher at 25 days for sail boats. See EXHIBIT 14.

The number of potential transient boats is a function of the number of power boats and sailboats within
the market area (See EXHIBIT 18) multiplied by the number of days that the boat is expected to leave its
home marina (See EXHIBIT 14) and the distance it has to travel to get to Port Hope (i.e. 0 to 20, 21 to 40,
41 to 60, or 61 to 80 nautical miles). These projections include boats that are out racing, cruising, water
skiing, wakeboarding, and anchored away from the home marina for swimming, sunbathing, picnicking,
etc. It is assumed that not all of these boats would be looking for a transient slip. Based on this approach
the 17,939 boats within the market area in 2012 would generate 51,320 boater days away from their
home marinas. See EXHIBIT 19.

4.3 Projected Number of Transient Boats in Market Area

Based on the expected growth rate of boats 6 metres in length (i.e. 20 feet in length or longer) in Ontario
and New York, we have projected that the number of boats within the market area of the proposed Port
Hope marina will increase from 17,939 in 2012; to 19,290 by 2015; to 20,720 by 2018; to 21,740 by 2020;
and reach 26,070 by 2028. See EXHIBIT 21A and 21B at the end of this report.

The projected number of potential transient boaters within the market area of the proposed Port Hope
marina site(s) is shown in EXHIBIT 22A and 22B. In 2012 there were approximately 51,320 transient
boaters within 80 nautical miles of Port Hope, of which 7,030 were within 20; 11,880 were within 21 to 40;
23,290 were within 41 to 60; and 9,120 were within 61 to 80 nautical miles of the proposed marina site(s).
By 2015 the total number of transient boater days within the overall market area is projected to increase
to 55,180; to 59,300 by 2018; to 62,220 by 2020; and reach 73,180 by 2028.

It should be noted that the projections of potential transient boaters have been reduced by 4 percent to
account for bad weather days within the 138 day boating season (i.e. May 15 to September 30) when
waves may exceed one metre and prevent most boats from leaving their home port.

As was the case with seasonal slips, there is clearly an existing and growing transient boater market that
the proposed Port Hope marina would be in a position to attract. The proposed marina’s setting either in
the Inner Basin or the East Beach area would place it in easy walking distance of the type of shops and
restaurants of interest transient boaters. The possibility of walking along the Ganaraska River and/or the
abandoned rail trail just east of John Street to reach the downtown area will be an added attraction for
the transient boaters, and should greatly increases its’ potential to capture a significant and sustainable

22
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

transient boater market. The numbers provided by other marinas within Port Hope’s market area confirm
this. In 2012, 11,800 boats visited the 403 transient slips at the marinas and yacht clubs within 50
kilometres of Port Hope. See EXHIBIT 8C at the end of this report. Services, attractions and special
events will be crucial in attracting a significant transient boater market to Port Hope.

4.4 What Transient Boaters are Interested In

According to our interviews with the yacht and boating clubs on Lake Ontario in Ontario and New York
within the market area of Port Hope’s proposed marina, transient boaters are looking for the following:

 Safe (relatively sheltered) marina basin or harbour;


 A feeling of security, through a safety system, personnel or location and other watchful patrons;
 Adequate dockside power, including varying fittings and different electrical requirements, based
on boat size/need;
 Freshwater supply;
 Pump out;
 Internet/Wi-Fi;
 Upland amenities, such as clean and inviting restrooms, showers and laundry facilities;
 Fuel service or at least close access to fuel;
 Access to provisions;
 A variety of nearby attractions or events; and,
 A place to exercise pets.

Other amenities mentioned less frequently were the provision of a shuttle service to town or the
availability of bicycles. Since virtually all of the services and amenities mentioned above are also
important in attracting the seasonal boater market there should be no additional cost to the marina in
catering to the transient boater market.

Among transient boaters those that come for special events such as festivals and regattas tend to be the
highest spenders as they typically stay for more than one day. Those on their way to or from another
destination tend to stay for less than half a day.

SECTION 5.0 MARINA CONCEPTS AND CONTRUCTION COSTS

5.0 Introduction

This chapter describes the coastal and physical conditions at the sites being considered for a municipal
marina. It further describes the basic guidelines followed in the preparation of marina concepts and finally
describes the concepts developed for these locations. Capital cost estimates for the concepts are also
provided in this chapter.

5.1 Locations and Site Conditions

5.1.1 Locations

Two locations were considered for the development of a municipal marina. The two locations are referred
to as the East Beach and the Inner Basin. Both locations are identified on Figure 5.1.

The East Beach area is located, as the name indicates, east of the breakwaters that form the entrance to
the Port Hope harbour and the mouth of the Ganaraska River. This has been identified as a potential
location of a municipal marina in past studies, such as that completed by the Planning Partnership in
1995. There is no specific limit on the extent of the area defined as the East Beach. However it can be
taken as extending from the east breakwater to about the limit of the beach several hundred meters
away. A waterlot recently obtained by the Municipality of Port Hope may be also an indication of the
potential development area on the East Beach. It extends approximately 300 meters from the east pier (at
the shore). The east and west limits of the waterlot are indicated on Figure 5.1. The waterlot extends
approximately 840 to 1100 meters offshore on the west and east side of the entrance respectively.

The Inner Basin is the most northern part of the existing Port Hope harbour. It is a rectangular basin
approximately 130 meters wide (east-west) and approximately 200 meters long (north- south. It is
accessed from the lake via the Outer Harbour, an area just inside the entrance breakwaters and the
Approach Channel. The Approach Channel is approximately 35 meters wide and 300 meters long. As
noted previously, the Inner Basin is used by the Port Hope Yacht Club. It accommodates approximately
34 boats anchored on swing lines. This docking arrangement is used due to excessive wave activity in
the basin that does not allow the use of docks. This excessive activity is due to the harbour entrance
configuration and the highly reflective nature of the shore structures in the harbour.

The Port Hope Area Initiative, as part of their clean up and harbour restoration, will be removing all
contaminated soils and deposits from the harbour and installing a rip rap revetment along the west side of
the outer harbour and approach channel and along three sides of the Inner Basin.

5.1.2 Coastal Conditions

Review of coastal conditions includes review of waters levels and wave conditions. A discussion of the
water levels and navigation is also provided.

i) Water Levels

A brief description of water levels of Lake Ontario is provided since water levels are critical in designing
waterfront facilities. Water levels at the site are controlled by the water levels of Lake Ontario. The water
levels of Lake Ontario fluctuate on short, seasonal and long term bases. A brief summary of the water
levels is provided below.

24
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

Figure 5.1 Location Plan

Average water levels of Lake Ontario fluctuate between approximately 74.5 m and 75.0 m International
Great Lake Datum (IGLD). High water levels are generally reached in June and low water levels in early
December. However, historical monthly water levels have reached as high as 75.7 m and have dropped
as low as 73.7 m IGLD. The historical low water levels predate the construction of the St. Lawrence
Seaway. The water levels have not gone below chart datum (elev. 74.2 m) since 1966.

Design high water level, used for flood control of shore development, is estimated to be 75.8 m GSC
(MNR, 1989).

ii) Navigable Depth

Chart datum, elevation 74.2 m IGLD, is commonly considered to be the appropriate reference elevation
for marinas on Lake Ontario. Although waters levels have gone below chart datum, this generally
happens in the winter months and has occurred only twice since the opening of the St. Lawrence
Seaway. A typical draft used for the design of a recreational boat marina is 1.8 m or 2.0 m. Therefore, the
bottom elevation in recreational marinas should be at elevation 72.4 m or lower.

iii) Wave Conditions

A wind-wave hindcast was not carried out as part of this project. Wave conditions were described in the
Port Hope Sediment Management and Dredging Strategy (Geomorphic Solutions, 2012). The report
indicates that the highest waves reach the site from the southwest quadrant and are in the order of 5.2
meters with a wave period in excess of 9 seconds. These waves are reported at a Port Hope site at
Station 91228 located approximately 1 km offshore. Southwest winds are most frequent.

25
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

iv) Sediment Transport

The above noted Port Hope Sediment Management and Dredging Strategy also described sediment
transport in the nearshore and sediment contribution by the Ganaraska River. The details of these
findings are not repeated here. In summary, the net sediment transport direction is from the west to the
east. It is believed that much of the sediment that ends up in the outer harbour and requires annual
dredging is originating from the lake. The Ganaraska River is noted to be a relatively minor sediment
source.

5.2 Recreational Small Craft Harbour Design

Design of small craft harbours follows guidelines developed through experience and various studies.
Although various aspects of boating may vary in different areas of North America, these guidelines are an
excellent starting point for developing the initial marina concepts. These concepts can then be further
refined in the detailed design process taking into account local preferences by the boaters and the
operator of the boating facility.

The main source of design guidelines used on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes is a manual
“Planning Guidelines for Recreational Harbours in Ontario” prepared by the Small Craft Harbours Branch
of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in 1992. Another commonly used design publication is
“Layout and Design Guidelines for Small Craft Berthing Facilities” (Department of Boating and
Waterways, California, 1994). Although both of these publications are somewhat dated, the basic
principles of design are valid.

The main guidelines followed for the concept designs in Port Hope are as follows:

 entrance width minimum 30 m


 entrance depth to allow for wave activity at the entrance
 marina depth 0.3 m more than deepest draft (1.8 meter is typical depth for recreational marinas)
 fairways 2 x boat length
 finger docks same length as boat
 fingers 1 m wide, mains 2 m wide and main access docks 4 m wide
 docks are floating with concrete anchor blocks
 basin shorelines sloping (rip rap revetments)
 wave height within the mooring area to be less than 0.3 m
 parking provided at a rate of 0.5 cars per slip

The marina concepts developed also provide fuel and pump out facilities. The parking lots are large
enough to provide space for winter storage of boats. It is the winter storage of boats that governs the
parking area provided in each concept that was developed. A “haul-out slip” and travel lift are also
included in each concept developed for the East Beach location.

5.3 Marina Concept Plans

Four concepts were developed to address the market demands established in Phase 1 of the study.
Three concept sizes for the East Beach were selected, namely 250, 300 and 350 boat slips, in
consultation with the steering committee. These basin sizes were selected to represent a range of sizes
rather than specific sizes determined by the market demand analysis. The Inner Basin concept developed
maximizes the number of slips while maintaining functional layout.

A detailed description of each concept is provided in the sub-sections of this chapter below. Table 5.1
provides a summary of the number of slips and estimated construction costs and cost per slip of each

concept. The costs outlined in Table 5.1 include construction contingencies and an allowance for
approval, design and construction administration of the project.

Table 5.1 Summary of Construction Costs of Preliminary Concepts

Concept No. of Slips Cost/Slip Construction Cost


East Beach -250 Slips 250 $121,000 $30.3 M
East Beach -300 Slips 300 $112,000 $33.5 M
East Beach -350 Slips 350 $100,000 $35.2 M
Inner Basin 137 $26,000 $3.6 M

In addition to the four concepts described above a fifth concept was developed, given preliminary
consideration and not pursued further at the direction of the Steering Committee. The concept included
the combination of the East Beach - 250 slips concept and the Inner Basin concept. This combination
produced a total of 392 slips since the number of slips in the inner basin was increased by eliminating the
service dock.

5.3.1 East Beach - 250 Slip Concept

A plan of this concept is presented on Figure 5.2. This concept is the second smallest of the four options
considered. Only the Inner Basin option is smaller. It accommodates 250 slips. There are 138 nine metre
long slips, 92 eleven metre long slips and 20 fourteen meter long slips. The docks are arranged along five
main docks extending south from the north shore. The two east main docks accommodate the nine metre
slips. A further 14 nine metre slips are provided along the most westerly docks and are intended to be
assigned to the charter fishing fleet. The eleven metre long slips are located along the third and part of
fourth main dock from the east. The fourteen metre slips are located along a part of the fourth main dock
from the east.

All docks have power and water supplied to pedestals on the main docks. Thirty amp service is proposed
for nine metre slips and fifty amp service is proposed for the larger slips. Each main dock is accessed
directly from the shore. Security gates would be located at the base of each of the main docks. The main
docks are up to 180 meters long. A service dock is proposed to be located at the north end of the most
westerly dock. The service dock includes fuel and pump-out.

A boardwalk is proposed to be located along the south shore to provide easy access to the docks from
the parking areas to the south. Parking is provided south of the boardwalk. An access road to the marina
extends from King Street with parking lots on both sides and a drop-off area at the boardwalk. A marina
office/service building, approximately 550 sq. m. is size, is proposed to be located east of the drop-off
area. It is expected to house the marina office, washrooms and showers.

Winter storage would be provided in both parking lots. A haul out slip is located between the fourth and
the most westerly docks directly across from the larger of the two parking lots. The winter storage
capacity is based on the assumption that 80 percent of the 9 m boats and 100 percent of the 11 and 14
metres boats will be stored at the site. The percentage of the 9 metre boats was reduced since it is likely
that owners of some of the smaller boats will store their crafts at their residences or elsewhere since they
can be moved on a trailer more readily.

The marina basin will require substantial dredging since much of the area is above the -2 m elevation.
Only the southeast corner of the basin is naturally deep enough. Given the relatively small size of the
basin and the relatively shallow water depth around the perimeter of the basin, the marina entrance is
directed through the existing river mouth and entrance. A modification of the existing breakwater on the
west side of the entrance is proposed. This extends the entrance into deeper water and reduces the wave
penetration into the Outer Harbour. The details of the modification are illustrated on Figure 5.2. The inner
shores of the basin are proposed to be constructed of rip rap revetment to reduce wave reflections within
the basin.

Figure 5.2 East Beach - 250 Slip Concept

The land base created around the basin provides parkland on the east side and south side of the basin.
Approximately 2.1 hectares of land including parkland is created on the east and south side of the marina
basin and approximately 0.2 hectares on the west side of the modified entrance. Public access is not
anticipated to be provided to the south breakwater and to the modified west breakwater. The existing east
beach sand is proposed to be excavated prior to the placement of the fill and relocated to the new east
side of the basin. This will maintain the existing beach uses on the east side of the river. The landform is
located entirely within the municipal waterlot.

The construction cost estimate for East Beach – 250 Slips Concept 1 is estimated to be approximately
$30.3 million or $121,000 per slip. This amount includes construction contingency, approval process
costs, and design and construction administration costs. HST is not included. A summary of the costs is
presented in Table 5.2 and a detailed breakdown of the estimated cost is provided in Table 1 in Appendix
A. Construction costs do not include modifications to existing municipal services that may be required to
service the marina site.

The annual maintenance dredging budget of $100,000 is suggested starting in the fifth year of marina
operations. A new by-passing shoal is expected to develop around the new west breakwater and ongoing
maintenance will be required. The annual dredging budget estimate and the anticipated start date is
based on our best professional judgment taking into consideration the past dredging history at Port Hope
harbour, the findings of the Port Hope Sediment Management and Dredging Strategy report and our
observations and experience at other harbours on the Great Lakes. This approach applies to all of the
dredging budgets noted in the report for other alternatives.

5.3.2 East Beach - 300 Slip Concept

A plan of this concept is presented on Figure 5.3. It accommodates 300 slips. For the purpose of
description provided herein it is approximated that the basin faces east. There are 164 nine metre long
slips, 110 eleven metre long slips and 26 fourteen meter long slips. The docks are arranged along six
main docks extending approximately east from the west shore of the basin. The north main dock and the
fourth and fifth dock accommodate the nine metre slips. The eleven metre long slips are located along the
second and third main dock from the north side. The fourteen metre slips are located along the south
dock.

Figure 5.3 East Beach - 300 Slip Concept

All docks have power and water supplied to pedestals on the main docks. Thirty amp service is proposed
for nine metre slips and fifty amp service is proposed for the larger slips. Each main dock is accessed
directly from the shore. Security gates would be located at the base of each of the main docks. The main
docks are up to 170 meters long. A service dock is proposed to be located at the shore end of the most
northerly dock. The service dock includes fuel and pump-out. It is anticipated that the remainder of the
nine metre docks along this main dock would be allocated mostly to the charter fishing boats.

A boardwalk is proposed to be located along the east shore to provide easy access to the docks from the
parking areas to the west. Parking is provided south of the boardwalk. An access road to the marina
extends from King Street with parking lots on both sides and a drop-off area at the boardwalk. A marina
office/service building, approximately 600 sq. meters in size, is proposed to be located north of the drop-
off area. It is expected to house the marina office, washrooms and showers.

30
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

Winter storage would be provided in both parking lots. A haul out slip is located between the first and
second main docks on the north side of the basin directly across from the closer of the two parking lots.
The winter storage capacity is based on the assumption that 80 percent of the 9 m boats and 100 percent
of the 11 and 14 metres boats will be stored at the site. The percentage of the 9 metre boats was reduced
since it is likely that owners of some of the smaller boats will store their crafts at their residences or
elsewhere since they can be moved on a trailer more readily.

The marina basin will require dredging in approximately one half of the basin. The marina entrance is
positioned on the east side of the basin and oriented almost north. The entrance is proposed to be thirty
metres wide and approximately 4 meters deep below chart datum.

The land base created around the basin provides parkland on the north side and west sides of the basin.
Approximately 2.6 hectares of land including parkland is created. Public access is not anticipated to be
provided to the south, east and west breakwaters. The existing east beach sand is proposed to be
excavated prior to the placement of the fill and relocated to the new east side of the basin. This will
maintain the existing beach uses on the east side of the river. The landform is located more or less within
the existing waterlot. Minor refinements to the landform can be carried out in the detailed design phase to
ensure that it is located entirely within the waterlot.

The construction cost estimate for East Beach – 300 Slips is estimated to be approximately $33.5 million
or $112,000 per slip. This amount includes construction contingency, approval process costs, and design
and construction administration costs. HST is not included. A summary of the cost is presented in Table
5.3 and a detailed breakdown of the estimated cost is provided in Table 2 in Appendix A. Construction
costs do not include modifications to existing municipal services that may be required to service the
marina site.

The annual maintenance dredging budget of $100,000 is suggested starting in the tenth year of marina
operations. A by-passing shoal is expected to develop around the new south breakwater and ongoing
maintenance will be required.

5.3.3 East Beach - 350 Slip Concept

A plan of this concept is presented on Figure 5.4. It accommodates 350 slips. For the purpose of
description provided herein it is approximated that the basin faces east. There are 184 nine metre long
slips, 138 eleven metre long slips and 28 fourteen meter long slips. The docks are arranged along seven
main docks extending approximately east from the west shore of the basin. The three and one half main
docks from the west side accommodate the nine metre slips. The eleven metre long slips are located in
the central part of the basin along the second, third and north side of the fourth main dock from the north
side. The fourteen metre slips are located along the most northerly dock.

All docks have power and water supplied to pedestals on the main docks. Thirty amp service is proposed
for nine metre slips and fifty amp service is proposed for the larger slips. Each main dock is accessed
directly from the shore. Security gates would be located at the base of each of the main docks. The main
docks are up to 130 meters long. A service dock is proposed to be located at the east end of the most
southerly main dock. The service dock includes fuel and pump-out. It is anticipated that the remainder of
the nine metre docks along this main dock would be allocated mostly to the charter fishing boats.

A boardwalk is proposed to be located along the east shore to provide easy access to the docks from the
parking areas to the west. Parking is provided south of the boardwalk and south of the access road. An
access road to the marina extends from King Street with parking lots on both sides and a drop-off area at
the boardwalk. A marina office/service building, approximately 600 sq. meters in size, is proposed to be
located north of the drop-off area. It is expected to house the marina office, washrooms and showers.

Winter storage would be provided in both parking lots. A haul out slip is located between the first and
second main docks on the north side of the basin directly across from the closer of the two parking lots.

The winter storage capacity is based on the assumption that 80 percent of the 9 m boats and 100 percent
of the 11 and 14 metres boats will be stored at the site. The percentage of the 9 metre boats was reduced
since it is likely that owners of some of the smaller boats will store their crafts at their residences or
elsewhere since they can be moved on a trailer more readily.

Figure 5.4 East Beach - 350 Slip Concept

The marina basin will require dredging in approximately one half of the basin. The marina entrance is
positioned on the east side of the basin and oriented to the north-east. The entrance is proposed to be
thirty metres wide and approximately 4 meters deep below chart datum.

The land base created around the basin provides parkland on the north side and west sides of the basin.
Approximately 3.8 hectares of land including parkland is created. Public access is not anticipated to be
provided to the south and east breakwaters. The existing east beach sand is proposed to be excavated
prior to the placement of the fill and relocated to the new east side of the basin. This will maintain the
existing beach uses on the east side of the river. A cobble beach is proposed on the south side of the
basin in addition to the relocated beach on the east side.

The construction cost estimate for East Beach – 350 Slips is estimated to be approximately $35.2 million
or $100,000 per slip. This amount includes construction contingency, approval process costs, and design
and construction administration costs. HST is not included. A summary of the cost is presented in Table
5.3 and a detailed breakdown of the estimated cost is provided in Table 3 in Appendix A. Construction
costs do not include modifications to existing municipal services that may be required to service the
marina site.

The annual maintenance dredging budget of $100,000 is suggested starting in the tenth year of marina
operations. A by-passing shoal is expected to develop around the new south breakwater and ongoing
maintenance will be required.

5.3.4 Inner Basin - 137 Slip Concept

A plan of this concept is presented on Figure 5.5. This concept is the smallest of the four options
considered. It accommodates 137 slips. For the purpose of description provided herein the basin is
approximated to be oriented north-south. There are 69 nine metre long slips, 54 eleven metre long slips
and 14 fourteen metre long slips. The docks are arranged along five main docks extending east from a
four metres wide main access dock along the east shore. The two north main docks and the north side of
the third dock accommodate the nine metre slips. The eleven metre long slips are located along the south
side of the third and along the fourth main dock from the north. The fourteen metre slips are located along
the south main dock.

Figure 5.5 Inner Basin - 137 Slip Concept

The orientation of the slips in the north-south direction was selected to deal better with any wave
penetration that may occur once the approach channel and the inner basin shores are repaired and
modified under the Port Hope Area Initiative program. Boats with the long axis into the waves are more
stable and less likely to suffer damage. A preliminary analysis using the desk top method (Bishop, 1986)
suggests that waves penetrating the Outer Harbour, through the Approach Channel into the Inner Basin
should be in the order of 0.3 meters. However, this method is considered suitable only for concept level
design and a more detailed numerical modelling of the wave penetration will be required prior to detailed
design of the marina if the decision to proceed depends on the need for additional marina entrance
modifications. If additional reduction of wave penetration is required then entrance modifications similar to

33
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

those proposed for the west side of the exiting entrance under the East Beach – 250 Slip concepts is
proposed. A budget cost of $30,000 is proposed for the wave penetration. As part of the wave
attenuation study there may be an opportunity to explore the potential benefits, if any, to the inner harbour
operations associated from any temporary structures built in the outer harbour as part of the PHAI site
remediation for an additional $5,000.

All docks have power and water supplied to pedestals on the main docks. Thirty amp service is proposed
for nine metre slips and fifty amp service is proposed for the larger slips. Each main dock is accessed
directly from the shore. Security gates would be located at the base of each of the main docks. The
secondary main docks are up to 90 meters long. The primary 4 meter wide main dock along the east side
of the basin is 170 meters long. A service dock is proposed to be located at the east end of the most
northerly dock. The service dock includes fuel and pump-out.

No specific locations have been proposed for parking or winter storage. The site plan drawings indicate
“allocation” areas for both parking and winter storage requirements associated with this concept. They are
located on the Centre Pier. However, it is not intended that these must be located on the Centre Pier.
There are lands available on the north side of Hayward Street that may be used for some of these
functions. However, without having an understanding of the future redevelopment of the Central Pier,
making specific recommendations is not appropriate. As with the East Beach concepts, the winter storage
capacity is based on the assumption that 80 percent of the 9 m boats and 100 percent of the 11 and 14
metres boats will be stored at the site. No Haul Out slips or Travel Lift are included in this option.

A marina office/service building approximately 300 sq. m. in size, is proposed to be located at the north-
east corner of the basin and replace the existing PHYC building. It is expected to house the marina office,
washrooms and showers.

No dredging is required within the mooring basin. However, a maintenance dredging program in the Outer
Harbour, as developed under the Port Hope Sediment Management and Dredging Strategy and modified
by municipal staff, will need to be carried on.

The construction cost estimate for Inner Basin – 137 Slips is estimated to be approximately $3.6 million or
$26,000 per slip. This amount includes construction contingency, approval process costs, and design and
construction administration costs. HST is not included. A summary of the costs is presented in Table 5.5
and a detailed breakdown of the estimated cost is provided in Table 4 in Appendix A. Construction costs
do not include modifications to existing municipal services that may be required to service the marina site.

5.4 Approvals

The development of the marina will be subject to a number of approvals. Municipal approvals for the
building and site servicing will be required. Details of these municipal approval processes are not
discussed since it is the municipality that is expected to be the proponent of the project.

Other approval agencies include Transport Canada, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ministry of
Natural Resources, Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority, Ministry of the Environment and possibly
other agencies as may be required under the environmental review process. A brief description of each
approval is provided below.

Approval by Transport Canada (TC) is required under the Navigable Waters Protection Act (NWPA). Only
aspects of the project that impact the right to navigate are considered under this Act. A screening of the
project by Transport Canada results in an exemption or a full approval process. Submission under NWPA
requires detailed design drawings to be completed. The timeline for the process is generally three to six
months from submission. The Navigable Water Protection Act has undergone recent charges and
guidelines that will result are now being developed.

34
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) will review the application under the Fisheries Act. As
with the NWPA, the Fisheries Act has undergone recent modifications and guidelines that will result are
now being developed. Details of approval requirements may vary from those described. No destruction or
alteration of fish habitat is permitted without the authorization of the Minister. There are two possible
approval processes under the Fisheries Act, referred to as “Letter of Advice” or “Authorization”. It is likely
that the East Beach concepts will require an “Authorization” and Inner Basin concept is likely to obtain
Letter of Advice. Submission under Fisheries Act requires detailed design drawings to be completed,
although discussion with the department should be undertaken in the early stages of the project and
throughout the approval process. The discussions with DFO will be supported by the local conservation
authority.

Approval from the Ministry of Natural Resources may be required under the Public Lands Act if the
selected project extends outside of the existing water lot owned by the municipality. This approval covers
the use of public lands and all lake bottoms are considered public lands in the province of Ontario except
those deeded to other owners. The Public Lands Act also covers work completed in the shore lands,
which is the area below high water mark. The municipality may need to purchase or lease additional
water lots for the operation of the marina depending on the concept selected. The cost of a water lot is
normally assessed at fair market value. There is a prescribed process for the assessment of the value.
The cost of the water lot is not included in the provided estimate.

Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority will need to issue a permit under their Regulations 68/06,
Development, and Interference with Wetlands & Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Their
concerns would relate to shoreline hazards and protection of the natural environment.

The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) will be involved in two aspects of the approval process. They will
be concerned with the sediment quality and dredging and with the environmental assessment process. A
permit or approval document is not issued under either process. It is the responsibility of the proponent to
ensure that work is undertaken in accordance with applicable regulations and legislation. An appropriate
sediment sampling program and dredging operations program will need to be designed and discussed
with MOE for the possible dredging programs that may result form the various concept discussed. The
municipality is well experienced with maintenance dredging requirements.

An Individual Environmental Assessment under the Provincial Environmental Assessment Act will apply to
the any of the concepts developed for the East Beach. The development of the Inner Basin concept
without the entrance modifications is not expected to be subject to an Individual Environmental
Assessment under Regulation 334 since the value of the work is estimated to be less than $3.5 million.
This amount excludes a number of items that are included in the $3.6 million estimate provided above for
the concept, such as feasibility studies and design, building(s) regulated by a Building Code Act.
However, should modifications of the entrance be required the combined project may be subject to an
Individual Environmental Assessment.

SECTION 6 – DEMAND PROJECTIONS FOR PROPOSED PORT HOPE MARINA

6.0 Introduction

Based on the growth in size and number of boats and boaters within the market area of the Port Hope
marina sites for the period between 2013 and 2031, we have projected use levels for four potential
concepts on two sites. The Inner Basin concept on the south side of Hayward Street includes 137 slips,
while the three East Beach location concepts east of Mill Street South and south of Madison Street
include 250, 300 and 350 slips. The water lot owned by the municipality is large enough to accommodate
all but a few of the slips in the 350 slip concept.

 Inner Basin Marina - 137 slips (125 Seasonal, 12 Transient)


 East Beach Location Concept 1 - 250 slips (230 Seasonal, 20 Transient)
 East Beach Location Concept 2 - 300 slips (276 Seasonal, 24 Transient)
 East Beach Location Concept 3 - 350 slips (322 Seasonal, 28 Transient)

We have assumed that whichever scenario is chosen the earliest the marina can be in operation is the
start of the 2018 boating season in the East Beach location and the start of the 2021 boating season in
the Inner Basin. This is due to the fact that the work that the Port Hope Area Initiative (PHAI) is expected
to undertake to clean-up the Inner Basin and Centre Pier is not scheduled to begin until 2015 at the
earliest and that on the Centre Pier until 2021. The environmental, planning and construction steps
involved in bringing the proposed Port Hope marina to fruition will likely take up to two years (i.e.
planning, environmental assessment process and design (6 months); approvals by various government
agencies (one year); construction (6 months)).

Each of the four concepts includes seasonal and transient slips and a mix of 9, 11, and 14 metre long
slips roughly proportional to the mix of boats within the market area expected to use the marina. (i.e.
55%, 6 metres to less than 9 metres; 37%, 9 metres to less than 12 metres; and 8%, 12 metres and
longer). The number of slips in each size category varies slightly from the above mentioned proportions
due to the design consideration required for the marina basin in each concept.

In arriving at these demand projections we have assumed that a large number of the facilities and
amenities recommendations provided in EXHIBIT 20 which will be revenue generators, broaden the
market appeal and address future market demand will be incorporated into the final land- and water-side
components of the marina design.

6.1 Projected Demand for Seasonal Slips

It is expected that demand for seasonal slips will come from latent demand existing because of the short-
fall of seasonal slips within the 50 kilometre market area of the proposed Port Hope sites, trade up from
existing marinas as Port Hope will be the newest full-service marina in the market area with much sought
after 11 and 14 metre slips, members of the Port Hope Yacht Club, and Charter Fishing Operators.

We have provided a breakdown of the size of slips likely to be occupied at the marina under the four
potential concepts listed above during the first 10 years of operation (i.e. 2014 to 2023). This breakdown
reflects the projected size mix of boats expected within the market area of the proposed Port Hope
marina as discussed previously in SECTION 2 of this report.

6.1.1 Inner Basin Marina with 137 slips - 125 seasonal

As indicated in EXHIBIT 23 we have projected that the marina will attract 89 seasonal boaters in its first
operating year (2021), increasing to 101 in 2023, to 111 in 2025, to 121 by 2028, and reaching full
capacity by 2030 with all 137 of the slips allocated for seasonal slip holders filled. In 2021, approximately
48 seasonal slips will be occupied by new boaters or boaters who until this time have been unable to

36
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

locate a suitable slip for their boat. Due to the noise from the regularly scheduled trains passing on the
trestle on the north side of Hayward Street and to a lesser extent the CAMECO plant on the west side of
the Inner Basin we expect that the marina will also attract approximately one percent of the seasonal
boaters currently at other marinas in the area who will trade up (i.e. 25) because of the newer facilities
available at the Port Hope marina and/or because it is more conveniently located. The industry average
for trade ups from other marinas is approximately 2 percent. Our discussions with boaters within the
seasonal market area indicate that the planned 10 metre swath of open green space on the west side of
the Inner Basin resulting from CAMECO’s Vision 2010/Vision in Motion (i.e. movement of their fence line
10 metres to the west) will help soften the reluctance of boaters being so close to an industrial use area.
We expect that one half of the current 32 boating members at the Port Hope Yacht Club will lease a slip
in the marina upon their return from the temporary re-location in 2018. Due to the shortage of longer
docks at other marinas in the market area, we have projected that the marina will fully occupy the 14
fourteen metre slips by the fifth year of operation (i.e. 2025).

6.1.2 East Beach Location Concept 1 - Marina with 250 slips - 230 seasonal

With 230 seasonal slips available we have projected that the marina will attract 203 seasonal boaters in
2018, 224 in 2020, and reach full capacity at 230 by 2022. Latent demand is expected to account for 125
seasonal boaters in 2018, increasing to 146 in 2020, and reach 152 by 2022. The number of boaters
trading up from their existing marinas within the market area will reach the industry average of 2 percent
or 48 as shown in EXHIBIT 24A. The number of Port Hope Yacht Club members leasing a slips at the
East Beach marina location will remain at 16 or one half of their current members with boats. Charter
Fishing Boats will occupy 14 of the available seasonal slips in 2018. Due to the shortage of longer docks
at other marinas in the market area, it is expected that the marina’s 18 fourteen metre slips will be fully
occupied in the opening season in 2018. Eighty of the 84 11 metre slips will be occupied in Year 1, and
all 84 by Year 2. The 128 nine metre slips will be fully occupied by 2022, bringing the overall occupancy
of the 230 seasonal slips to 100 percent.

6.1.3 East Beach Location Concept 2 - Marina with 300 slips - 276 seasonal

We have projected that the 276 available seasonal slips will attract 203 boaters in 2018, increasing to 223
in 2020, 241 by 2022, 257 by 2024, and reach full occupancy by 2026. The opening year occupancy of
approximately 74 percent will increase to 81 percent in 2020, 88 percent in 2022, 95 percent in 2024, and
100 percent by 2026. Approximately 61 percent of the overall boaters attracted to the marina in 2018 (i.e.
124) will be new boaters or boaters who until this time have been unable to locate a suitable slip. We
have projected that 48 of the slips will be occupied by boaters trading up from other area facilities. The
number of Port Hope Yacht Club members leasing a slips at the East Beach marina location will remain
at 16 or one half of their current members with boats. We have also projected that the number of Charter
Fishing Boats occupying slips will increase from 15 in Year 1, 16 by 2021 (Year 4), 17 by 2022 (Year 5),
18 by 2024 (Year 7) and reach 19 by 2027 (Year 10). As shown in EXHIBIT 24B, we expect that all 22
fourteen metres slips will be taken by 2020 (Year 3), as well as 88 of the 102 eleven metres slips, and
113 of the 152 nine metre slips. All of the 11 metre slips will be fully occupied by 2025.

6.1.4 East Beach Location Concept 3 - Marina with 350 slips - 322 seasonal

As indicated in EXHIBIT 24C we have projected that the marina will attract 203 seasonal boaters in its
first operating year (2018), increasing to 228 in 2020, 270 by 2024, and reach 297 by 2028. Occupancy
rates will increase from approximately 63 percent in the opening year, to 84 percent in 2024 and reach 92
percent by 2028. In 2018, 124 seasonal slips will be occupied by new boaters or boaters who until this
time have been unable to locate a suitable slip for their boat. It is expected that 48 of the slips will be
filled by boaters trading up from the other marinas in the market area. The number of Port Hope Yacht
Club members leasing a slips at the East Beach marina location will remain at 16 or one half of their
current members with boats. The number of Charter Fishing Boats occupying slips in each year will
remain the same as that with the 300 slip scenario increasing from 15 in 2018, to 18 by 2024, and reach
19 by 2027. As was the case with the other scenarios the shortage of longer docks at area marinas will

37

Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

mean that 18 of the 26 fourteen metre slips will be occupied during the first year of operation, and all 26
by 2024 (Year 7). Eighty of the 128 eleven metre slips are expected to be occupied in 2018, 102 in 2024
and 113 by 2028. Of the 168 nine metre slips, we expect 105 will be occupied in 2018, 142 by 2024 and
158 by 2028.

6.2 Projected Demand for Transient Slips

The boating season in the Port Hope area is approximately 138 days (beginning in the latter half of May
and concluding at the end of September). Historically, holidays and weekends, in particular special event
weekends are the most important source of boater demand for transient slips. Within Port Hope marina’s
138 day boating season there are approximately 16 holiday weekend days, 14 normal weekend days,
and 92 normal week days (i.e. Monday through Friday). The Municipality of Port Hope currently plays host
to at least five weekend events that would be of interest to transient boaters (i.e. Family Fishing Derby,
Farmer’s Market & Art Festival, Antique Machinery Show, Classic Car Show, Port Hope Fall Fair, and All-
Canadian Jazz Festival) that contribute another 10 weekend days to the boating season. We believe it is
possible and desirable to organize three new special event weekends around the new marina and the
other marine-oriented activities that may be part of the desired further development of the Port Hope
waterfront. Based on the current schedule of events in the Municipality of Port Hope, we believe that one
additional event could be organized in May, June, July or August, thus accounting for all 138 days of the
boating season. It is worth noting that a survey of area businesses undertaken by the Port Hope
Downtown Revitalization Project in early 2013 points out that most business operators (65%) said they
believed community events and festivals helped increase their sales. The existing and proposed special
events would therefore attract additional transient boaters and contribute to the vitality of the local
businesses at the same time. The three new special events would be driven by community groups and
businesses and not organized by the Municipality of Port Hope.

In arriving at the demand for transient slips in Port Hope, we have taken into consideration the
recommended facilities and amenities at the marina (See EXHIBIT 20) and the attractions and other
services that Port Hope and Northumberland County offer to boaters vis-à-vis other transient ports.

Within the four proposed concepts for the development of Port Hope’s marina, we have recommended
that the Inner Basin Concept 12 dedicated transient slips, and Concepts 1, 2 and 3 at the East Beach
Location provide 20, 24 and 28 dedicated transient slips respectively. While it is the policy among many
marinas to allow transient use of seasonal slips when those slips are known to be vacant for a minimum
of 24 hours and with the permission of the seasonal lessee, this policy can lead to disgruntled seasonal
boaters. The most successful marinas provide dedicated transient slips for visiting boaters. Some (e.g.
Flora MacDonald Confederation Basin in Kingston) separate the dedicated transient slips into day-use
and overnight use.

An established marina (i.e. Year 4 or 5) in a good market can expect to reach high occupancy rates on
holiday weekends and established special event weekends, as shown below. Monday through Friday are
difficult days to attract transient boaters even with very attractive discounts.

(established marina in a good market)


Holiday Weekends (16 days) 90 to 100%
Existing Special Event Weekends (10 days) 75 to 100%
New Special Event Weekends (6 days) 65 to 85%
Normal Weekends (14 days) 55 to 65%
Normal Weekdays (92 days) 5 to 10%

38

Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

6.2.1 Inner Basin Concept with 12 Transient slips

Despite the large number of projected boater days within the market area of the Inner Basin marina
location, it is not expected that the 12 transient slips will reach a high level of occupancy during the first
five or six years operation primarily due to the noise associated with regularly scheduled trains crossing
the train trestle north of the Inner Basin and the proximity of the CAMECO plant to the west of the Basin.
Once the planned 10 metre wide open green space on the west side of the Inner Basin is in place and the
appropriate flora is added it should help soften the reluctance of transient boaters being so close to an
industrial use area. Additionally the development of the Centre Pier as a mixed-use open space, built
environment and entertainment area with small shops, restaurants and patios will also provide an
important inducement for attracting transient boaters as well as focussing their attention away from the
CAMECO plant. During holiday weekend days we have projected that the number of transient boats will
increase from 60 in 2021 to 70 by 2029. See EXHIBIT 25. The number of boats visiting the marina on
already established special events weekend days will increase from 30 in the opening year to 40 by 2026
and reach 50 by 2031. To increase the attraction of Port Hope as a stopover for transient boaters we
recommend some form of discounted transportation rate with the local transportation service or
discounted entrance fee be arranged with off-site attractions (e.g. Canadian Firefighters’ Museum,
Treetop Trekking Ganaraska) on special event weekends. We would expect that turn-aways may occur
on some weekend days especially the Canada Day weekend.

We believe it will be possible to encourage local organizations to organize and host three additional
special event weekend oriented toward the marina in May, June, July or August. Events might include a
weekend Craft Show with a nautical theme, in-water Boat Show emphasizing early wooden boats, a
historical re-enactment portraying Port Hope’s early industry and its ties to the waterfront, etc. We project
that the new marina-oriented special event weekends will attract 20 boats in 2021, increasing to 30 by
2027. Industry statistics indicate that transient marinas “make their money” on holiday weekend days,
special event days and weekend days.

The visitation pattern on normal weekend days and week days (Monday through Friday) is expected to be
lower than that of other marinas in the market area offering transient slips. It is not unusual to have less
than 10 percent occupancy during the normal Monday to Friday time period. In order to encourage
increased use on these days we recommend that discount incentives be offered such as 25 percent off
on Senior’s Thursdays, every third week day is free, 20 percent off entrance to some local attractions, or
a performance at the Capital Theatre, etc. A map showing a route for a self guided walking tour featuring
the early historic buildings in Port Hope, should be prominently displayed at the marina office building, to
encourage visiting boaters to visit the downtown particularly on these low visitation days. Perhaps the
Port Hope & District Historical Society could offer guided walking tours on designated days during the
boating season. The Municipality has maps showing the walking trails in Port Hope which could be
provided at the new Marina Building encouraging use of the waterfront trail along the lake. We have
projected that the 12 transient slips will attract 20 boats in the opening year, and will likely not increase
during the projected time period.

We have provided projections by length of slip used and length of stay for the 12 transient slips. Initially
we expect that stays of less than one day will make up the largest percentage of the transient boaters. As
the marina becomes more established in the market place and visitors become more familiar with the Port
Hope and the local area we expect that boaters will stay longer and the proportion of boaters staying one
day or longer will increase. Due to the noise from the trains, we expect that stays of more than one day
will continue to be smallest proportion of the market throughout the 2021 to 2031 time period.

Overall we have projected that the 12 transient slips in the Inner Basin will attract 160 boats in 2021,
increasing to 170 by 2026, to 190 by 2029 and reach 210 by 2031.

6.2.2 East Beach Location Concept 1 with 20 Transient Slips

We have projected that the 20 transient slips included in Concept 1 would attract 200 boaters on holiday
weekends in 2018 (i.e. 62.5% occupancy, increasing to 210 in 2020, and reach 240 by 2026 (i.e. 75.0%

39
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

occupancy). Existing special event weekends such the Canada Day Celebration or the annual Classic
Car Show are expected to attract 120 boats in the opening year, increasing to 130 by 2023, to 140 by
2025, and reach 150 by 2028.

Based on our belief that local Port Hope groups will be able to organize three additional new special
event weekends, we have projected that the 20 transient slips will attract 50 boats in 2018, 60 in 2020, 70
in 2024, and 80 by 2028. On normal weekends we expect that the marina will be able to attract 90 boats
in the opening year, increasing to 100 by 2021, 120 by 2025 and reach 130 by 2027. Our projections
indicate that this Concept will host 60 boats in 2018, and reach 80 by 2020. While the weekday numbers
fall well below the industry average for an established marina; depending on the creative programs that
the marina is prepared to offer on the low weekdays it is conceivable that these occupancy numbers
could be nearer the low end of the industry averages. Overall, we have projected 520 transient boats will
be accommodated in the opening year, increasing to 570 by 2021 (Year 4) and reach 680 by 2028. See
EXHIBIT 26A at the end of this report.

The ten 9 metre slips will attract 270 boats in 2018, increasing to 300 by 2021, 330 by 2025, and reach
350 by 2028. The eight 11 metre slips will attract 190 boats in the opening year, increasing to 210 by
2021, 250 by 2025, and reach 270 by 2028.

We have projected that stays of less than one day (i.e. less than 12 hours) will increase from 260 in 2018,
to 310 by 2025, and reach 320 by 2028. As the marina becomes well established in boater’s minds those
staying one day and more than one day will represent the largest share of the transient market (i.e. 260 in
2018, 330 by 2025, and 360 by 2028.

6.2.3 East Beach Location Concept 2 with 24 Transient Slips

We have projected that the 24 slips included in Concept 2 will attract 630 boats in 2018, 670 by 2020, 750
by 2025 and reach 790 by 2028. As with the 12 and 20 transient slips, the 16 Holiday weekend days will
attract the largest proportion of boats visiting the marina. Beginning with 240 boats in 2018, we have
projected that this number will increase to 250 by 2020, to 270 by 2024, and reach 280 by 2026. Existing
special event weekends and new special event weekends are projected to attract 150 and 60 boats
respectively in 2018, increasing to 160 and 70 boats respectively by 2020. Existing special event
weekends will attract 170 boats by 2028, and new special event weekends 90 boats by 2024.

In 2018 we project 320 boats will use the 12 nine metre slips, increasing to 350 by 2020, 390 by 2024,
and reach 410 by 2028. The 8 eleven 9 metre slips will accommodate 210 boats in 2018, 220 by 2020,
240 by 2024 and reach 250 by 2028. Use of the 4 fourteen metre transient slips will increase from 100 in
the opening year to 110 by 2021, and reach 130 by 2026.

Boats staying less than one day (i.e. less than 12 hours) are projected to increase from 320 in 2018, to
350 by 2022, 360 by 2024, and reach 370 by 2026. Boats staying one day (i.e. 12 hours to less than 24
hours) and more than one day will increase from 210 and 100 respectively in the opening year, to 230
and 130 respectively in Year 5 (i.e. 2022), and reach 270 and 140 respectively by 2028. See EXHIBIT
26B.

6.2.4 East Beach Location Concept 3 with 28 Transient Slips

As was the case with each of the other transient slip concepts, we expect that Holiday weekends will see
the greatest number of boats using the slips in Port Hope. Beginning with 280 boats in 2018, we have
projected an increase to 290 boats by 2020, 300 by 2022, 310 by 2024, and 330 by 2027. Due to the
variety and their uniqueness within the market area we expect the existing special events will attract 170
transient boats in 2018, increasing to 180 by 2020, and reach 200 by 2028. The six weekend days
dedicated to three new special events are projected to attract 80 boats in 2018, 90 boats by 2020, and
110 boats by 2027. The 14 days of normal weekends will attract 130 boats in 2018, 140 by 2021, 150 by
2024, 160 by 2025 and reach 170 by 2027. We have projected that the 28 transient slips available from

40
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

Monday through Friday will host 80 boats in the opening year, increasing to 100 by 2022 and reach 120
by 2026.

The sixteen 9 metre slips will attract 420 boats in 2018 and 2019, increasing to 450 in 2020, to 500 by
2024, and reach 540 by 2027. The ten 11 metre slips will attract 260 boats in 2018 and 2019, 270 by
2020, 300 by 2025 and reach 330 by 2028. The two 14 metre slips are expected to accommodate 60
boats throughout the 2018 to 2028 time period.

In 2018, 370 boats will stay less than one day and 370 for one or more days (i.e. 230 and 140 boats
respectively). By Year 7, (i.e. 2024), 410 boats are expected to stay for less than one day while 280 will
stay for one day and 160 for more than one day. By 2028, we have projected that even more boats will be
staying longer; 430 boats will stay for less than one day, 310 for one day (i.e. 12 hours to less than 24
hours), and a further 190 boats for more than one day. Approximately 54 percent of the transient boats
visiting the East Beach Location’s 350 slip marina will stay one day or more.

Overall, we have projected that the 28 transient slips will accommodate 740 boats in 2018, 810 boats by
2022, 870 by 2025, and reach 930 by 2028. See EXHIBIT 26.

SECTION 7 - FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS FOR PROPOSED PORT HOPE MARINA

7.0 General Operating Assumptions

Operating revenues and expenditures have been based on our discussions with marina operators and
results achieved by other marinas of a similar size and character as that proposed for the Municipality of
Port Hope. In preparing our estimates of revenues and disbursements for the marina we have made the
following assumptions:

 We have projected a 1.5 percent annual inflation rate (as per the Royal Bank of Canada) where
stated. Any variance in the actual inflation rate would have a direct effect on the projected
operating results.

 Targeted and direct marketing efforts will be undertaken on an on-going basis.

 The rental rates and other sales percentages will be in keeping with a marina of this quality, yet
reflect local and regional market conditions.

 The marina will be competently managed by professional staff with experience in their areas of
responsibility.

 When rates and percentages are quoted in these financial calculations they are representative of
industry averages from our data base for this size and type of marina and are approximate.

 Amounts for depreciation and financing are excluded and the results show a net cash flow
position.

7.1 Specific Financial Assumptions

7.1.1 Proposed Inner Basin Marina

Financial projections are provided for the years 2021 to 2031. Work on the Inner Basin by the Port Hope
Area Initiative (PHAI) is expected to be completed by 2018, while that on the Centre Pier will likely not
start until 2021 but will not prevent the use of the basin to construct a new marina. CAMECO’s Vision
2010/ Vision in Motion will proceed in concert with the work in the Inner Basin providing a 10 metre swath
of public green space immediately adjacent to the west side of the Inner Basin. As shown in EXHIBIT 27
we have provided financial projections for the proposed Inner Basin Marina containing 137 slips (125
seasonal, 12 transient as discussed in the previous section regarding projected demand.

REVENUES

Seasonal Slip Rental Fees: In keeping with market area rental rates we have projected a rate of $51.00
per linear foot in 2021 for 9 metre slips with no services; $56.00 per linear foot with 30 amp power and
water available to each 9 and 11 metre slip; $61.00 per linear foot with 50 amp power and water available
to each 14 metre slip. As an inducement to encourage the Port Hope Yacht Club members to use the
proposed marina, we have reduced the opening year rates for the un-serviced 9 metre slips by 20
percent, and have assumed this reduction will be reduced by 2 percent each year between 2021 and
2031 (i.e. $40.80 per linear foot vs. $51.00 in 2021, $51.40 vs. $57.15 in 2026, and $64.65 vs. $64.65 by
2031). This practice is not uncommon in new marinas with an already existing yacht club.

Transient Slip Rental Fees: We have projected transient slip rental rates in keeping with the
surrounding marinas in the market area in the opening year of: $1.70/ft. for less than one day (i.e. 12
hours or less), $1.95/ft. for stays of one day, (i.e. more than 12 and a maximum of 24 hours), and $5.75/ft.

42
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

for stays up to 7 days in 2021. Rates increase by inflation in Year 2 and one percent above inflation each
year thereafter.

Charter Fishing Boats: In order to maximize the potential for boating activity on Port Hope’s waterfront
we have assumed that the charter fishing boats will continue to use the concrete wall on the east side
near the mouth of the Ganaraska River. We have projected a charge of $56.00 per linear foot with 30
amp power and water to be used by the Charter Fishing Operators in 2021. Rates increase by inflation in
2022, by one percent above inflation from 2023 through 2025 and 3.5 percent per annum thereafter.

Winter Storage: Based on market area rates we have projected $18.00/ft. for boats 11 metres or less
and $23.00/ft. for boats more than 11 metres in 2021, increasing by inflation in Years 2 and 3 and by one
percent above inflation each year thereafter. This rate includes the following services; gas stabilizer,
bottom power wash, battery charge, removal of engine drain plugs, removal of hull plugs, non-toxic anti-
freeze solution in engine, fogging of outboard motor, and lower unit oil change. Storage also includes
shrink-wrap or tarped covering depending on boater’s preference and summerization of the boat the
following spring. It does not include use of a crane, travel-lift, hydraulic packer or haulout/launch fees.
We have assumed that 20 percent of the seasonal boats less than 9 metres in length will be trailered by
their owners to another site and thus not stored over the winter on the marina site. Yacht Club members’
boats have not been included, as they have a parcel of land on the north side of Hayward Street that
could be used for winter storage.

Lift/Haulout/Launch fees/Mast Stepping-Unstepping: Based on market area rates we have projected


$7.00/ft. in 2021 for boats up to 9 metres, $7.90/ft. for boats more than 9 metres and up to 11 metres, and
$8.75/ft. for boats more than 11 metres. This fee includes movement of the boat to and from the water by
means of a crane. It also assumes the use of an owner provided cradle or boat trailer for on-site winter
storage. The fee for stepping/unstepping masts is set at $3.50/ft. in 2021 and assumes that
approximately 48 percent of all seasonal boats will be sail boats based on the current split between sail
and power boats within the seasonal market area. Rates increase by inflation in Year 2 and 3 and by one
percent above inflation each year thereafter.

Dryland Summer Storage: Based on the experience of other marinas in the market area we have
projected a rate of $117.75 for cradle storage, and $144.75 for trailer storage for the period from May 15th
until October 1st. We have assumed that 50 percent of all seasonal boats 9 metres or less will store their
trailers on site and 20 percent of the remaining seasonal boats will store their cradles on site. As per
industry averages we have projected that 2 percent of the seasonal boats in any season will be stored on-
shore due to non-water use, required mechanical repairs or hull work not completed. The rate for
temporary storage is set at $29.30/ft. in 2021. All rates increase by inflation each year beyond 2021.

Fuel/Oil Sales: Based on current split between sail and power boats in the seasonal market area we
have projected that approximately 52 percent of seasonal boats will be power boats as per market area
averages. Boats 9 metres in length or less will charge $1,600 for gas/diesel/oil for the boating season,
boats up to 11 metres $2,000, and boats longer than 11 metres $2,560. One quarter of the transient
boats will charge $125 for gas/diesel/oil during their stay. Rates increase by inflation each year beyond
2021.

Pump-out Service: As per industry averages one quarter of transient boats will pump-out during their
stay at a cost of $17.00 per tank in 2021. Seasonal boaters 11 metres or less will be charged $90.00 per
season, and those more than 11 metres $135.00 per season and have unlimited access to the pump-out
system at the service dock. Rates increase by inflation each year beyond 2021.

Parking/Boat Launch Revenue: We have projected that an average of 25 boats per day will use the
launch ramp at the existing marina. As some marinas in the market area charge for parking as opposed
to a launch fee we have projected revenue based on either $6.75 per launch or $1.35 per hour to park for
a maximum of 5 hours. Rates increase by inflation each year beyond 2021.

43
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

Merchandise Sales: This includes the sale of sweaters, other clothing and materials with the
waterfront/marina emblem from the tuck shop within the marina office complex. As per the industry
average this has been set at $12.00 per transient boat and $28.00 per seasonal boat in 2021, increasing
by inflation each year thereafter.

DISBURSEMENTS

Full-time Labour Cost: Marina Manager $73,200 per annum/$48,810 for 8 months in 2021.

Full-time labour costs are projected to increase at 3 percent per annum beyond 2021. We have assumed
that the Marina Manager can be employed in another municipal department for a portion of the year when
the marina is not in full operation (i.e. November through February), as is the case with a number of
municipally owned and operated marinas.

Casual Labour Cost: Set at $15.00 or $17.50 per hour for 35 hour week for 20 weeks in 2021 and
increasing at inflation each year thereafter. We recommend that the marina maintenance person be
employed for 24 weeks in order to assist the Marina Manager with the opening and closing of the marina
in the spring and fall.

Dockhands/Fuel Dock Attendant 2 $15.00 per hour


Marina Maintenance/Grounds Staff 1 $15.00 per hour
Tuck Shop 1 $15.00 per hour
Security 2 $17.50 per hour
Total 6

The number of casual staff is in-keeping with other marinas of a similar size within the seasonal market
area.

Overtime/Shift Premiums & Standby: Set at 3.5 percent of annual full and part-time labour costs as per
industry averages.

Employee Benefits: Set at 30 percent of full-time labour cost and 10 percent of casual labour cost, as
provided by the Port Hope Finance Department August 1, 2013.

Utilities: Set at $90 per slip and $450 per month for the marina building in 2021 as per industry average,
increasing by 3.5 percent per annum and percentage increase in use of hydro and water each year
thereafter.

Telephone: Assumes 2 telephones @$140/month for 5 months, increasing by inflation annually.

Office Supplies: Set at $2,800 in 2021 to cover cost of materials used by marina manager and other full
and part time staff. Reduced by 20% in Year 2 to reflect normal high first year start-up costs and
increasing by inflation each year thereafter.

Guest Supplies/Custodial Supplies: Set at $56.50 per occupied slip in 2021, and increasing by
inflation and the percentage increase in seasonal and transient boater traffic each year thereafter.

Fuel Dock Cost of Sales: Set at 80 percent of revenue as per industry average.

Cost of Merchandise: Set at 65 percent of revenue as per industry average.

Insurance: Set at $3,660 in 2021 based on $3,000 in 2013 as provided by the Port Hope Finance
Department August 1, 2013, and increasing at 5 percent per annum thereafter as per industry average,
includes the cost of insuring the marina office building.

44
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

Maintenance & Repairs: Set at $113 per slip in 2022 (Year 2) as per industry average and increasing at
8 percent per annum each year thereafter. A provision of $56 per slip has been made in 2021 to cover
any unforeseen start-up systems failures, a similar provision of $70 per slips has been made in 2024 for
the 22 slips added in that year.

Uniforms & Clothing: Set at $340 per employee in 2021 to cover uniforms and dry cleaning for all staff,
and increasing by inflation each year thereafter.

Marketing & Promotion: Set at $28,500 in 2021; reduced by 25 percent in 2022 to reflect the additional
promotional materials required in launching the pre-opening and opening ceremonies in 2020-2021. The
marketing budget should be allocated to marina-specific trade shows (e.g. Toronto International Boat
Show, Rochester Boat Show, etc.); publications (e.g. Lakeland Boating Ports O’ Call, Ports Cruising
Guides, Sail Magazine, etc.); and trade associations (e.g. Ontario Marine Operators Association, etc.).

Credit Card Commissions: Set at 3.0 percent of total revenues (excluding seasonal slip rentals) as per
industry average.

Crane Rental: Set at $190 per hour in 2021 (based on a 2013 charge of $160.00/hr.) and increasing by
inflation each year thereafter. We have assumed an average of 3 boats per hour can be handled by the
crane.

Dredging Expenses: Based on the information available to us from the Municipality we have set the
annual dredging cost at $140,810 starting in Year 2 (2022), and Year 3 (2023), and $57,160 in Year 4
(2024) increasing by inflation each year thereafter. Approximately 5,000 cubic metres of material will be
removed in Years 2 and 3 and 2,500 in Year 4.

Contractual Labour: We have provided for overnight security at the existing marina in an attempt to
mitigate the security issues raised by the Charter Fishing Operators. Coverage would occur for 20
weeks, 7 days per week from 8:00 pm until 8:00 am (i.e. 12 hours per day) at $18.50 per hour
commencing in 2021 and increasing by inflation each year thereafter. In addition to providing overnight
security these individuals would be expected to monitor the use of the launch ramp and collect the
appropriate user fees.

Lease Expenses: Since the basin is owned by the Municipality, there are no lease expenses owing to
the province.

General & Administrative: Set at $15,000 in 2021 to cover fees, dues, subscriptions, memberships to
organizations; mileage, cell-phones, professional services (i.e. accounting, consulting, legal; travel &
entertainment; cleaning; and off-season security), and increasing by 3 percent each year thereafter.

Capital Reserve for Replacement: We have provided a standard reserve expense of 10 percent of
revenues each year. It should be noted that while we have provided for a capital reserve expense toward
the replacement of the full dock system and services every 25 years, it would actually require
approximately 12 percent per annum to completely meet this 25 year replacement charge. While the
Municipality does not require facilities to set aside a capital reserve for replacement, we believe given the
cost of the replacing the docks and services in the case of the marina it is prudent to do so.

Miscellaneous: Set at $12,000 in 2021 to cover business licenses and permits; bank service charges
other than credit card commissions; bad debt expenses, short term lease of non capitalized equipment;
etc., and increasing by inflation each year thereafter.

7.1.2 Proposed East Beach Location Marina

Financial projections are provided for the years 2018 to 2021. As shown in EXHIBIT 28 we have
provided financial projections for each of the three concepts discussed in the previous section of the
report regarding projected demand.

Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

REVENUES

Seasonal Slip Rental Fees: In keeping with market area rental rates we have projected a rate of $48.50
per linear foot in 2018 for 9 metre slips with no services; $54.00 per linear foot with 30 amp power and
water available to each 9 and 11 metre slip; $58.00 per linear foot with 50 amp power and water available
to each 14 metre slip. As an inducement to encourage the Port Hope Yacht Club members to use the
proposed marina, we have reduced the opening year rates for the un-serviced 9 metre slips by 20
percent, and have assumed this reduction will be reduced by 2 percent each between 2018 and 2028 (i.e.
$39.40 per linear foot vs. $48.50 in 2018, $48.90 vs. $54.35 in 2023, and $61.50 vs. $61.50 by 2031).
This practice is not uncommon in new marinas with an already existing yacht club.

Transient Slip Rental Fees: We have projected transient slip rental rates in keeping with the
surrounding marinas in the market area in the opening year of: $1.60/ft. for less than one day (i.e. 12
hours or less), $1.90/ft. for stays of one day, (i.e. more than 12 and a maximum of 24 hours), and $5.50/ft.
for stays up to 7 days in 2018. Rates increase by inflation in Year 2 and one percent above inflation each
year thereafter.

Charter Fishing Boats: We have projected a commercial slip charge of $56.50 per linear foot for the 9
metre slips with 30 amp power and water to be used by the Charter Fishing Operators in 2018. This
reflects a 5 percent annual premium above the rate charged for seasonal boaters. Rates increase by
inflation in 2019, by one percent above inflation from 2020 through 2022 and 3.5 percent per annum
thereafter.

Winter Storage: Based on market area rates we have projected $16.50/ft. for boats 11 metres or less
and $21.00/ft. for boats more than 11 metres in 2018, increasing by inflation in Years 2 and 3 and by one
percent above inflation each year thereafter. This rate includes the following services; gas stabilizer,
bottom power wash, battery charge, removal of engine drain plugs, removal of hull plugs, non-toxic anti-
freeze solution in engine, fogging of outboard motor, and lower unit oil change. Storage also includes
shrink-wrap or tarped covering depending on boater’s preference and summerization of the boat the
following spring. It does not include use of a crane, travel-lift, hydraulic packer or haulout/launch fees.
Typically approximately 20 percent of the seasonal boats less than 9 metres in length would be trailered
by their owners to another site and thus not stored over the winter on the marina site. Due to the size of
the proposed parking area we have assumed we can accommodate all of the 11 and 14 metre seasonal
boats but only 50 percent of the 9 metre boats. Yacht Club members’ boats have not been included.

Lift/Haulout/Launch fees/Mast Stepping-Unstepping: Based on market area rates we have projected


$6.75/ft. in 2018 for boats up to 9 metres, $7.55/ft. for boats more than 9 metres and up to 11 metres, and
$8.35/ft. for boats more than 11 metres. This fee includes movement of the boat to and from the water by
means of a crane. It also assumes the use of an owner provided cradle or boat trailer for on-site winter
storage. The fee for stepping/unstepping masts is set at $3.35/ft. in 2018 and assumes that
approximately 48 percent of all seasonal boats will be sail boats. Rates increase by inflation in Year 2
and 3 and by one percent above inflation each year thereafter.

Dryland Summer Storage: Based on the experience of other marinas in the market area we have
projected a rate of $112.60 for cradle storage, and $138.45 for trailer storage for the period from May 15th
until October 1st. We have assumed that 50 percent of all seasonal boats 9 metres or less will store their
trailers on site and 20 percent of the remaining seasonal boats will store their cradles on site. As per
industry averages we have assumed that 2 percent of the seasonal boats in any season will be stored on-
shore due to non-water use, required mechanical repairs or hull work not completed. The rate for
temporary storage is set at $28.00/ft. in 2018. All rates increase by inflation each year beyond 2018.

Fuel/Oil Sales: Based on the fact that approximately 52 percent of seasonal boats will be power boats
as per market area averages. Boats 9 metres in length or less will charge $1,560 for gas/diesel/oil for the
boating season, boats up to 11 metres $1,920, and boats longer than 11 metres $2,480. One quarter of
the transient boats will charge $125 for gas/diesel/oil during their stay. Rates increase by inflation each
year beyond 2018.

46
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

Pump-out Service: As per industry averages one quarter of transient boats will pump-out during their
stay at a cost of $16.25 per tank in 2018. Seasonal boaters 11 metres or less will be charged $86.25 per
season, and those more than 11 metres $129.25 per season and have unlimited access to the pump-out
system at the service dock. Rates increase by inflation each year beyond 2018.

Parking/Boat Launch Revenue: We have projected that the marina will be able to attract an average of
25 boats per day to use the launch ramp. As some marinas in the market area charge for parking as
opposed to a launch fee we have assumed revenue based on either $6.50 per launch or $1.30 per hour
to park for a maximum of 5 hours. Rates increase by inflation each year beyond 2018.

Merchandise Sales: This includes the sale of sweaters, other clothing and materials with the
waterfront/marina emblem from the tuck shop within the marina office complex. As per the industry
average this has been set at $10.75 per transient boat and $27.00 per seasonal boat in 2018, increasing
by inflation each year thereafter.

DISBURSEMENTS

Full-time Labour Cost: Marina Manager $59,000 per annum


Assistant Marina Manager $38,000 per annum/$15,830 for 5 months

Full-time labour costs are assumed to increase at 3 percent per annum beyond 2018. We have assumed
that the Assistant Marina Manager can be employed in another municipal department for a portion of the
year when the marina is not in full operation (i.e. part of October, November through March, and part of
April), as is the case with a number of municipally owned and operated marinas.

Casual Labour Cost: Set at $14.25 or $16.75 per hour for 35 hour week for 20 weeks in 2018 and
increasing at inflation each year thereafter.

Dockhands 3 $14.25 per hour


Marina Maintenance/Grounds Staff 1 $14.25 per hour
Tuck Shop 1 $14.25 per hour
Fuel Dock Attendant 1 $14.25 per hour
Security 2 $16.75 per hour
Total 8

Since Concept 3 (350 total slips) has an additional 100 slips, we have included 4 dockhands and 2
marina maintenance/ground staff personnel for a total of 10 casual staff. The number of casual staff for
each of the Concepts is in-keeping with other marinas of a similar size within the seasonal market area.

Overtime/Shift Premiums & Standby: Set at 3.5 percent of annual full and part-time labour costs as per
industry averages.

Employee Benefits: Set at 30 percent of full-time labour cost and 10 percent of casual labour cost, as
provided by the Port Hope Finance Department August 1, 2013.

Utilities: Set at $85 per slip and $430 per month for the marina building in 2018 as per industry average,
increasing by 3.5 percent per annum and percentage increase in use of hydro and water each year
thereafter.

Telephone: Assumes 2 telephones @$135/month for 5 months, increasing by inflation annually.

Office Supplies: Set at $2,700 in 2018 to cover cost of materials used by marina manager and other full
and part time staff. Reduced by 20% in Year 2 to reflect normal high first year start-up costs and
increasing by inflation each year thereafter.

47
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

Guest Supplies/Custodial Supplies: Set at $11,000 in 2018 based on $54.00 per occupied slip and
increasing by inflation and the percentage increase in seasonal and transient boater traffic each year
thereafter.

Fuel Dock Cost of Sales: Set at 80 percent of revenue as per industry average.
Cost of Merchandise: Set at 65 percent of revenue as per industry average.

Insurance: Set at $3,390 in 2018 based on $3,000 in 2013 as provided by the Port Hope Finance
Department August 1, 2013, and increasing at 5 percent per annum thereafter as per industry average,
includes the cost of insuring the marina office building.

Maintenance & Repairs: Set at $108 per slip in 2019 (Year 2) and increasing at 8 percent per annum
each year thereafter. A provision of $54 per slip has been made in 2018 to cover any unforeseen start-up
systems failures.

Uniforms & Clothing: Set at $325 per employee in 2018 to cover uniforms and dry cleaning for all staff,
and increasing by inflation each year thereafter.

Marketing & Promotion: Set at $30,000 in 2018; reduced by 25 percent in 2019 to reflect the additional
promotional materials required in launching the pre-opening and opening ceremonies in 2017-2018. The
marketing budget should be allocated to marina-specific trade shows (e.g. Toronto International Boat
Show, Rochester Boat Show, etc.); publications (e.g. Lakeland Boating Ports O’ Call, Ports Cruising
Guides, Sail Magazine, etc.); and trade associations (e.g. Ontario Marine Operators Association, etc.).

Credit Card Commissions: Set at 3.0 percent of total revenues (excluding seasonal slip rentals) as per
industry average.

Crane Rental: Set at $177.50 per hour in 2018 (based on a 2013 charge of $160.00/hr.) and increasing
by inflation each year thereafter. We have assumed an average of 3 boats per hour can be handled by
the crane.

Dredging Expenses: Based on the information available to us from the Municipality we have set the
annual dredging cost at $134,660 starting in Year 2 (2019), and Year 3 (2020), and $55,670 in Year 4
(2021) for Concept 1, and $59,770 in Year 10 (2027), and $153,970 in Year 11 (2028) for Concepts 2 and
3, increasing by inflation each year thereafter. Approximately 5,000 cubic metres of material will be
removed in Years 2 and 3 and 2,500 in Year 4.

Lease Expenses: Since the waterlot at the East Beach location is owned by the Municipality and is of a
sufficient size to accommodate Concept 1 (250 slips) and Concept 2 (300), there are no lease expenses
to province. However, in the case of Concept 3 (350 slips), a number of the slips extend beyond the
eastern edge of the municipal waterlot. A $150 administrative fee plus a charge of $0.72/ft. of linear run
of dock outside the Municipally owned waterlot is payable annually to the Province under an agreement
negotiated by the Ontario Marine Operators Association on behalf of all Ontario marinas. There is also
an annual charge for filled land, in this case $60.00 for less than 0.5 hectares for the breakwaters
extending beyond the Municipally owned waterlot, plus and administration charge of $35.00.

General & Administrative: Set at $20,000 in 2018 to cover fees, dues, subscriptions, memberships to
organizations; mileage, cell-phones, professional services (i.e. accounting, consulting, legal; travel &
entertainment; cleaning; and off-season security), and increasing by 3 percent each year thereafter.

Capital Reserve for Replacement: We have provided a standard reserve expense of 10 percent of
revenues each year. It should be noted that while we have provided for a capital reserve expense toward
the replacement of the full dock system and services every 25 years, this percentage could be reduced to
8 percent for Concepts 1 and 2 and 9 percent for Concept 3 and still completely meet this 25 year
replacement charge. While the Municipality does not require facilities to set aside a capital reserve for

48
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

replacement, we believe given the cost of the replacing the docks and services in the case of the
proposed marina it is prudent to do so.

Miscellaneous: Set at $15,000 in 2018 to cover business licenses and permits; bank service charges
other than credit card commissions; bad debt expenses, short term lease of non capitalized equipment;
etc., and increasing by inflation each year thereafter.

7.2 Financial Projections


7.2.1 Inner Basin Marina with 137 Slips (125 seasonal, 12 transient)

We have projected that revenues will increase from $402,720 in Year 1 to $546,090 in 2025 (Year 5), to
$642,000 by 2028, and reach $721,710 by 2031. Disbursements will increase from $389,260 in 2021 to
$614,220 by 2025, to $674,220 by 2028, and reach $729,880 by 2031. As shown in EXHIBIT 27 this
concept is projected to operate at a loss in each year in which the dredging requires a full 5,000 cubic
metres of material to be removed. With no dredging required in Year 1 (2021) the Inner Basin marina will
show a positive cash flow of $13,460 before debt service and depreciation. Year 2 and 3 are projected to
show a loss of $110,000 and $92,990 respectively. By 2025 the loss will decrease to $68,130, and by
2031 to $8,170.

It should be noted that even including an average annual dredging cost exceeding $110,000, the average
annual net income loss before debt service and depreciation over the first 11 years of operation is
$20,870 or less than one half that of the existing marina excluding the dredging cost.

7.2.2 Inner Basin Marina Including Construction of West Breakwater

In the event that it is deemed necessary to construct the West Breakwater to reduce the effect wave
surges in the Inner Basin while at the same time reducing the frequency and cost of dredging, dredging
would not be required until the fifth year of operation (i.e. 2025) at an estimated cost of $100,000 in 2025
and 2026 and $40,000 in 2027, increasing by inflation each year thereafter. Under this scenario
revenues will remain the same as the Inner Basin Concept without the West Breakwater (i.e. increasing
from $402,720 in Year 1 to $546,090 in 2025 (Year 5), to $642,000 by 2028, and reach $721,710 by
2031. Disbursements will increase from $389,260 in 2021 to $566,980 by 2025, to $624,820 by 2028,
and reach $678,230 by 2031. With no dredging required until 2025, the Inner Basin with the West
Breakwater in place is expected to generate $13,460 in Year 1 (2021) before debt service and
depreciation, increasing to $62,920 by 2024. Year 5 (2025) and Year 6 (2026) are the only two years
expected to produce a loss in net revenue before debt service and depreciation (i.e. $20,890 and $5,800
respectively). We have projected a positive net income before debt service in each year between 2027
and 2031. See EXHIBIT 27A at the end of the report.

7.2.3 East Beach Location Concept 1 - Marina with 250 Slips (230 seasonal, 20 transient)

Revenues are projected to increase from an opening year $838,920 in 2018, to $1,012,650 in 2022 (Year
5), to $1,104,140 by 2025, and reach $1,202,000 by 2028. Disbursements are projected to increase from
$597,340 in 2018, to $840,570 in 2022, to $903,230 in 2025, and reach $971,140 by 2028. Under this
scenario the marina would generate a net cash flow of $241,580 in Year 1. In Year 5 (2022) the net cash
flow will fall to $172,080 with the addition of the annually required dredging. Net cash flow will increase to
$200,910 by 2025, and reach $230,860 by 2028. See EXHIBIT 28A.

7.2.4 East Beach Location Concept 2 - Marina with 300 Slips (276 seasonal, 24 transient)

The revenue stream with this configuration increases from $860,140 in 2018, to $1,104,570 in 2022, to
$1,296,590 in 2025, and reaches $1,465,600 by Year 11 (2028). See EXHIBIT 28B at the end of this
report. With disbursements at $606,320 in 2018, $736,480 in 2022, $831,590 in 2025, and $1,070,430 in
2028 the marina is projected to operate with a positive net cash flow each year from 2018 through 2028.

49
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

As such, the net cash flow will increase from $253,820 in 2018, to $368,090 by 2022, and $465,000 in
2025. The additional cost due to dredging starting in Year 10 (2027) will reduce the net cash flow to
$378,550 and $395,170 in 2027 and 2028 respectively.

7.2.5 East Beach Location Concept 3 - Marina with 350 Slips (322 seasonal, 28 transient)

Beginning in 2018, revenues are projected to increase from $864,520, to $1,141,070 in Year 5 (2022), to
$1,367,760 in 2025, and reach $1,578,390 by 2028. During this eleven year time period, disbursements
are projected to increase from $652,140 in 2018, to $804,590 in 2022, to $917,340 in 2025, and reach
$1,177,550 by 2028. Under this scenario net income is expected to increase from $212,380, to $336,480
by 2022, and reach $450,420 and $400,840 by 2025 and 2028 respectively. As with the 300 slip marina,
the need to dredge in 2027 results in the lower net income in 2027 ($370,560) and 2028 ($400,840)
compared to 2025 ($450,420). EXHIBIT 28C provides a breakdown of each revenue source and the
requisite disbursements.

7.3 Capital Cost Financing

We expect that the entire capital cost required to construct the marina and its land-based amenities will
be financed through municipal debentures. In order to reduce the capital cost we recommend that the
Municipality approach the federal and provincial governments regarding the possibility of obtaining
infrastructure grants. The fuel supplier should also be approached about paying for the capital cost of
providing the fuel dock and pumps (i.e. $295,000) in exchange for the exclusive rights to supplying
gasoline, diesel fuel, propane and oil at the fuel dock for a period of 15 years. Consideration should also
be given to approaching a local or regional philanthropist or major business to cover a portion of the
capital cost in exchange for naming rights. Additionally, we are aware of dock contractors who will
supply third party financing, but not aware of any municipalities that have taken up the offer because the
interest rates are a few percentage points above that of municipal debenture rates.

We have provided an indication of the net revenue/taxation requirement for a break even cash flow
position each of the four Concepts. Since the major facilities in the marina (i.e. marina building, docks,
and breakwaters) have an expected life that exceeds 25 years we have assumed it will be possible to
obtain municipal debentures with either a 20 or 25 year amortization period to cover the projected total
capital cost of constructing the marina. We have used a 25 year amortization period for the scenarios
below.

7.3.1 Inner Basin Concept

Based on the net income generated by the proposed Inner Basin Marina and the annual principal and
interest payments on a 25 year municipal debenture at 4.09 percent for the full $3,597,000 capital cost of
the Inner Basin Marina it will require $218,990 in 2021 (Year 1) in net revenue/taxation for a breakeven
position. Over the first 11 years of operation the annual net revenue/taxation required to breakeven is
projected to range from a high of $342,450 to a low of $148,370. See EXHIBIT 29A. Over the first 11
years of operation this concept will require an annual average municipal taxation of $253,320 to
breakeven. According to the Port Hope Finance Department, this would require an average annual
residential levy of $30.00.1

If the Municipality is able to secure a grant or sell the naming rights to the marina for $1,000,000 the
annual principal and interest payments on the remaining $2,597,000 municipal debenture will be reduced
to $167,820. In this case the marina will require $154,360 in net revenue/taxation in 2021 (Year 1) to
breakeven. Over the first 11 years of operation the annual net revenue/taxation required to breakeven is
projected to range from a high of $277,820 to a low of $83,740. The average annual net/revenue taxation
required to breakeven with a $1,000,000 grant in place would be $188,690. See EXHIBIT 29B. In this
case the required average annual residential levy would be $23.00.1

50
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

7.3.2 Inner Basin Concept Including Construction of West Breakwater

With the West Breakwater in place the capital cost for the Inner Basin Marina Concept will increase to
$8,430,000. The annual principal and interest payments on a 25 year municipal debenture from
Infrastructure Ontario at 4.09 percent interest will be $544,770. It will require $531,310 in net
revenue/taxation in 2021 (Year 1) to breakeven. Under this scenario the annual net revenue/taxation will
range from a high of $565,660 in 2025 to a low of $440,020 in 2030, an annually average of $508,900.
See EXHIBIT 29C. The average annual residential levy to cover this level of taxation would be $61.00.1

In the event the Municipality is able to secure a grant or sell the naming rights to the marina with the west
breakwater in place for $1,000,000 the annual principal and interest payments on the remaining
$7,430,000 municipal debenture will be reduced to $480,140. The Inner Basin Marina including the West
Breakwater would then require $466,680 in net revenue/taxation in 2021 (Year 1) to breakeven. From
2021 to 2031 the annual net revenue/taxation required to breakeven is projected to range from a high of
$501,030 to a low of $375,390. The average annual net/revenue taxation required to breakeven with a
$1,000,000 grant in place would be $444,270. See EXHIBIT 29D. According to the Port Hope Finance
Department, this would require an average annual residential levy of $53.00.1

7.3.3 East Beach Location Concept 1 (250 Slips)

The annual principal and interest payments on the necessary $30,281,000 municipal debenture
amortized over 25 years at 4.09 percent to cover the capital cost of the 250 slip marina will be
$1,956,830. Based on the net income before debt financing and depreciation as shown in EXHIBIT 28A,
it will require in excess of $1,650,000 annually in net revenue/taxation in order for this Concept to
breakeven. The average annual requirement in additional municipal taxes to breakeven is projected to be
$1,729,380. See EXHIBIT 30A at the end of the report. In this case the required average annual
residential levy would be $208.00.1 We do not believe this is a viable option for the Municipality.

7.3.4 East Beach Location Concept 2 (300 Slips)

The $33,479,000 capital budget to construct the 300 slip marina will require $2,163,490 in annual
principal and interest payments on a 25 year municipal debenture at 4.09 percent interest. In order to
breakeven this concept will require in excess of $1,650,000 annually in new municipal taxation. For the
initial four years of operation, between $1,828,300 and $1,909,670 in additional taxes would be required
for a breakeven position. See EXHIBIT 30B. Despite a net income before debt service and depreciation
ranging from $253,820 to $511,900, we do not believe this is a viable option for the Municipality, as it
would require an average annual residential levy of $213.00.1

7.3.5 East Beach Location Concept 3 (350 Slips)

The 350 slip marina has a projected capital cost of $35,162,000. Financing this total cost through a 25
year municipal debenture at 4.09 percent interest will require $2,272,250 in annual principal and interest
payments. The net income generated by this concept as shown in EXHIBIT 28C, is insufficient to cover
the financing costs and will require a minimum of $1,788,150 (in 2026) and a maximum of $2,059,870 (in
2018) in additional municipal taxes or net revenue to breakeven, meaning an average annual residential
levy of $229.00.1 See EXHIBIT 30C. We do not believe that this is a viable option for the Municipality of
Port Hope.

7.4 Conclusions

The preceding analysis leads to the following conclusions:

There is sufficient seasonal and transient boater demand to support a marina development on Port
Hope’s waterfront.

None of the four proposed marina concepts is projected to cover both operating expenses and debt
financing costs without an annual residential levy during the 25 year debenture amortization period.

While the East Beach is the preferred location for a marina development, and all three proposed concepts
are projected to generate positive cash flows, there is little likelihood at the present time that sufficient
federal and provincial monies will be forthcoming to cover enough of the capital costs to make any of the
three reasonable development proposals for the Municipality.

If Port Hope wishes to have a marina on the water front, then the 137 slip Inner Basin Marina provides the
Municipality with the best business case opportunity under the foreseeable conditions.

The average annual residential levy of $30.00 to breakeven (without any grants) makes the Inner Basin
Marina concept the most affordable of the four proposed concepts.

SECTION 8 – ECONOMIC IMPACTS

8.0 Introduction

In this section, we describe the economic impacts resulting from the construction and operation of the
proposed Port Hope Marina. While we have considered only those impacts associated with the people
using the marina and marina building during the operating period; visitors attracted to the waterfront as a
result of “boater activity” can also be an important source of revenue and economic spinoffs.

The Port Hope Marina will be an income producing asset, with the potential to generate thousands of
dollars in annual revenue to the benefit of the Municipality of Port Hope. It will increase public access to
the waterfront; provide more amenities on the waterfront; add a new tourism attraction; enhance the
physical appearance of the Municipality’s waterfront; raise real estate property values on the waterfront
and in nearby neighbourhoods; act as a catalyst for new commercial and residential development, and in
doing so increase the tax base; and create an improved aquatic habitat. The marina will provide greater
opportunities for the general public to experience boating and other marine-oriented activities on the
waterfront. It will generate increased revenue for businesses in Port Hope and the surrounding area as
well as creating additional full and part time employment positions. The marina will also be a catalyst for
new commercial and residential development in the waterfront area. Belleville, Cobourg and Whitby are
excellent examples of the positive impact that a marina can have on related waterfront developments. A
marina on Port Hope’s waterfront could also lead to a number of related business opportunities or
partnerships, among the most obvious are boat repairs, boat sales, boat and boater equipment sales, and
boat building.

The economic impacts in this section are measured in terms of direct1, indirect2 and induced3 Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) expenditures; labour income; direct, indirect and induced jobs; and federal,
provincial and municipal tax revenues.

In arriving at the economic impacts for the proposed marina, we have used the widely accepted Ontario
Ministry of Tourism’s Tourism Regional Economic Impact Model (TREIM).

Economic impacts have been derived for the proposed Inner Basin Marina without the West Breakwater
and with it included. Since none of three proposed East Beach Location marina concepts (i.e. 250, 300,
350 slips) are viable due to the large capital cost relative to the revenues generated and high net
revenue/taxation required to breakeven we have chosen to describe the economic impacts that would
have resulted from only the 300 slip concept. The EXHIBITS for all three with their respective economic
impacts are however provided at the end of the report. For impacts resulting from construction see
EXHIBIT 36A, B and C, and for impacts resulting from operation of the marina see EXHIBITS 38A, B, and
C.

8.1 Economic Impacts Due to Construction of Proposed Port Hope Marina

The total estimated capital budget is projected to be spent over a two year period beginning in 2020 for
the Inner Basin Marina and 2017 for the East Beach Location concepts. Construction of the marina,
marina building, breakwaters (if required), and other site work is expected to take place between May
2020 and April 2021 for the Inner Basin, and May 2017 and April 2018 had any of the East Beach
Location concepts proved viable. See EXHIBIT 33 and 34 at the end of this report. The marina would
then be open for use in either late May 2021 in the Inner Basin, or 2018 at the East Beach Location.
_____
1
Direct Impact refers to the impact generated in businesses or sectors that produce or provide goods and
services directly to those involved in the construction, operation and use of the marina and its amenities.
2
Indirect Impact refers to the impact resulting from expansion of demand from front-line businesses or
sectors, to other businesses or sectors.
3
Induced Impact refers to the impact associated with the re-spending of labour income and/or profits earned
in the industries that serve the marina construction and operation directly or indirectly.

8.1.1 Economic Impacts Due to Construction of Inner Basin Marina (137 Slip Marina)

Approximately 20 percent (i.e. $719,400) of the total $3,597,000 capital budget for the 137 slip Inner
Basin marina will be required in 2020 and 80 percent (i.e. $2,877,600) in 2021. See EXHIBIT 33.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – Direct, Indirect, and Induced

Direct, indirect and induced gross domestic product expenditures in the Muncipality of Port Hope and
Northumberland County resulting from the construction of the Inner Basin marina will increase from
$299,810 in 2020 to $1,199,250 in 2021. See Exhibit 35A. The industry sectors impacted the most by
the construction of the marina will be construction; finance, insurance, rental & leasing; professional,
scientific and technical services; manufacturing; retail; and wholesale trade as shown in FIGURE 10.1A
following.

Labour Income and Number of Jobs Created

Total direct, indirect and induced labour income in Port Hope and Northumberland County as a result of
the construction of the Inner Basin marina will be $203,520 in 2020 and $814,080 in 2021. This level of
labour income will create 2 direct new jobs in 2020 and 8 direct new jobs in 2021. Using the Ministry of
Tourism’s Employment Multiplier in their TREIM model and applying it to the number of direct jobs
created each year, we are able to project the total direct, indirect and induced jobs created as a result of
the construction of the Inner Basin marina will be 3 in 2020 and 11 in 2021.

Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

Tax Revenues Generated

The construction of the Inner Basin marina will also generate total federal, provincial and municipal taxes
of $142,800 in 2020 and $571,180 in 2021. The largest proportion of these taxes will accrue to the
federal government i.e. $68,430 in 2020 and $273,720 in 2021. The total municipal taxes generated
within the Municipality of Port Hope and Northumberland County will be $16,420 in 2020 and $65,670 in
20214.

8.1.2 Economic Impacts Due to Construction of Inner Basin Marina Including West Breakwater
137 Slip Marina)

$3,372,000 of the $8,430,000 capital budget for the Inner Basin Marina including the West Breakwater
will be spent in 2020 and a further $5,058,000 in 2021. See EXHIBIT 33.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - Direct, Indirect, and Induced

When the West Breakwater is included with this concept direct, indirect and induced gross domestic
product expenditures in Port Hope and Northumberland County will increase from $1,405,310 in 2020 to
$2,107,950 in 2021. See Exhibit 35B. Construction; finance, insurance, rental & leasing; professional,
scientific and technical services; manufacturing; retail; and wholesale trade will again be the industry
sectors impacted the most by the construction of the marina and breakwater as shown in FIGURE 10.1B

Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

Labour Income and Number of Jobs Created

Total direct, indirect and induced labour income in the Municipality of Port Hope and Northumberland
County resulting from the construction of the Inner Basin marina and breakwater will be $953,950 in 2020
and $1,430,920 in 2021. This level of labour income will lead to the creation of 9 direct new jobs in 2020
and 14 direct new jobs in 2021, and a total of 13 direct, indirect and induced jobs in 2020 and 20 in 2021.

Tax Revenues Generated

Total federal, provincial and municipal taxes generated through the construction of this marina concept be
$669.320 in 2020 and $1,003,980 in 2021. As with the Inner Basin Marina without the West Breakwater,
the largest proportion of these taxes will accrue to the federal government with $320,750 in 2020 and
$481,130 in 2021. The total municipal taxes generated within Port Hope and the County will be $76,960
in 2020 and $115,440 in 2021.

8.1.3 Economic Impacts Due to Construction of East Beach Location Marina Concept 3
(300Slips)

We expect that approximately 60 percent (i.e. $20,087,400) of the total $33,479,000 capital budget for the
300 slips East Beach Location marina will be required in 2017 and 40 percent (i.e. $13,391,600) in 2018.
See EXHIBIT 34.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – Direct, Indirect, and Induced

Direct, indirect and induced gross domestic product expenditures in the Municipality of Port Hope and
Northumberland County resulting from the construction of the 300 slip marina will reach $8,371,570 in
2017 and $5,581,050 in 2018. See Exhibit 36B. The industry sectors impacted the most by the
construction of the marina will be the same as those for the Inner Basin Marina (i.e. construction; finance,
insurance, rental & leasing; professional, scientific and technical services; manufacturing; retail; and
wholesale trade) as shown in FIGURE 10.1C on the following page.

Labour Income and Number of Jobs Created

Total direct, indirect and induced labour income in Port Hope and Northumberland County as a result of
the construction of the Inner Basin marina is projected to be $5,682,760 in 2017 and $3,788,500 in 2018.
With this level of labour income we expect that 54 direct new jobs will be created in 2017 and 36 direct
new jobs in 2018. Applying the Ministry of Tourism’s Employment Multiplier to the number of direct jobs
created each year, we are able to project that the total direct, indirect and induced jobs created as a result
of the construction of the 300 slip East Beach Location marina will be 78 in 2017 and 52 in 2018.

Tax Revenues Generated

The construction of the East Beach Location marina will also result in the generation of $3,987,210 in
total federal, provincial and municipal taxes in 2017 and $2,658,130 in 2018. Almost 50 percent (i.e.
47.9%) of these taxes will accrue to the federal government i.e. $1,910,750 in 2017 and $1,273,830 in
2018. The total municipal taxes generated within the Municipality of Port Hope and Northumberland
County will be $458,450 in 2017 and $305,630 in 2018.

8.2 Economic Impacts Due to Operation of Proposed Port Hope Marina

The following section describes the economic impacts due to the operation of the Port Hope Marina
during each of the first eleven years of operation beginning in 2021 and continuing through 2031 for the
Inner Basin Marina, and 2018 through 2028 for the East Beach Location Marina. The expenditures used
to determine the economic impact resulting from the operation of the marina come from three sources as
shown in EXHIBIT 37 and EXHIBIT 38A, B and C:

 Total seasonal boater, transient boater, and non-boater resident and visitor expenditures at the
marina;

 Total seasonal boater expenditures away from the marina but within the Municipality of Port Hope
and Northumberland County; and,

 Total transient boater expenditures away from the marina but within the Municipality of Port Hope
and Northumberland County.

SECTION 9 – MARINA OPERATION

9.0 Potential Operational Models for Port Hope Marina

While the vast majority of municipally owned marinas in Ontario and New York are operated by the
municipality that owns them, there are examples of municipal marinas being leased to a private operator
for a specified period of time. The Toronto Island Marina (on Centre Island in Toronto) and Bluffer’s Park
Marina (in Scarborough) are privately run by way of 20 year leases with the City of Toronto. Based on a
call for tenders in 2006, separate 20 year license agreements commencing July 1, 2006, have been
granted to private operators of these two marinas calling for 5% of gross annual revenues from mooring
fees and 8% from gross annual revenues obtained from all other sources (includes winter storage, fuel
dock, pump out, repairs and restaurant). The operators of these marinas are responsible for all operating
costs, capital costs, dredging costs, utilities and property taxes. As part of the license agreements the
operators of Toronto Island Marina are to invest approximately $5,100,000 over the 20 year term in
capital improvements and repairs and maintenance. Likewise, the operators of Bluffer’s Park Marina are
to invest approximately $4,800,000 over the 20 year term in capital improvements and repairs and
maintenance.

Port Dalhousie Pier Marina in St. Catharines is an example of a municipal, federal government and
private operator arrangement. Port Dalhousie Pier Marina was constructed in 1991 on lands leased to
Port Dalhousie Pier Inc. from the City of St. Catharines for the purposes of constructing and operating a
marina. One of the four parcels of lands and water lots leased to Port Dalhousie Pier Inc. is leased from
the Federal Government and then in turn leased to the private operator. The City has a 49 year
agreement with the federal government to lease the one parcel of land at an annual cost of $500.00 plus
20% of all gross revenues accruing to the City from that parcel of land. The City of St. Catharines’s lease
with Port Dalhousie Pier Inc. commenced May 15, 1995 and continues until April 14, 2015. There is an
option to renew the lease for a further possible twenty year term in five year periods subject to
renegotiated provisions of the lease. The lease which commenced at 15% of gross receipts for 1995 and
1996, calls for an increase of 1% of gross revenues every two years. It currently stands at 25% of gross
receipts in 2013 and will continue at this rate for each year, or each part thereof, that the lease remains in
effect. Lease payments are due and payable quarterly. All three facilities provide seasonal and transient
docking. In our discussions with these three operators, it was clear that the provision of seasonal slips
was the crucial element in allowing them to generate sufficient cash flow to be attractive to a private
operator. In the case of New Harrison Marina, in Toledo, Ohio the private operator gets an annual
management fee that increases three percent per year, plus 13.5 percent of net operating profit.

We are unaware of any municipally owned transient-only marinas that are operated privately through a
long-term lease agreement. There are numerous examples where elements of municipally owned
marinas are leased, these include the restaurant component (e.g. Snug Harbour Seafood Bar & Grill at
Credit Village Marina owned and operated by the City of Mississauga), the repair component, marine
services or chandlery store, and vending machine component.

Direct management contracts and long-term leases are the most prominent lease arrangements for
municipalities. The following is a description of each.

Direct Management Contract: This is the preferred method when the municipality wants to retain
ownership of the marina or when municipal, provincial or state law prevents a lease. The length of typical
marina management contracts varies from three to 20 years, with 10 years the most common. Renewal
is based on good revenues and performance. Generally, the municipality pays an annual management
fee, which increases each year by a certain percentage, plus a percentage of revenues. In the United
States, if there is any non-taxable bond money involved in the marina, IRS regulations prohibit giving a
percentage of its income to a private entrepreneur.

Long-Term Lease: This is the preferred method when a municipal marina needs major repair and the
municipality does not have the money to pay for it. A long-term lease allows cost recovery plus profit for
the private operator.

There are two other means of developing a marina in a municipality, in both cases however, the
municipality’s only benefit is the taxes and economic impacts accrued as a result of the operation. The
opportunity may exist to have the marina developed as part of an adjacent or nearby residential
development which would then operate the marina. However, there are few examples where this
arrangement is in place. Marinas have been developed in Midland, Victoria Harbour and Collingwood,
Ontario as part of waterfront residential developments. In each case the marina slips were constructed as
an enticement to purchasers of the residential units. The slips are not available to the general public for
seasonal or transient use. The other possibility, dockominiums, is relatively new to Ontario and to-date
has not proved to be very successful largely because of the short boating season and the relatively high
cost to purchase the dock space versus reasonable annual increases in slip rentals. Dockominiums are
highly successful in U.S. states like Florida and California where the boating season is virtually year
round, and the potential for new marina developments in close proximity to major population centres is
limited. Frenchman’s Bay Marina in Pickering, Ontario offers dockominiums where the dock is purchased
by the owner and he or she is then charged an annual maintenance/management fee. To-date sales
have been extremely slow. As an extra incentive the marina allows lease of the dockominium for one
season, and this cost will be credited towards the owners dockominium purchase price provided this
occurs no later than July 31st.

While it is acknowledged that marinas are expensive to construct the vast majority of municipally owned
marinas are highly successful and provide many benefits to the City or Town as mentioned in the
previous section. Barrie, Belleville, Cobourg, Gananoque, Kingston, Leamington, Mississauga, Oakville,
Port Colborne, Whitby, and Windsor successfully own and operate their own marinas.

New technologies have boosted marina profits and management efficiency in both public and privately
owned and operated marinas. Advances in computer software have led to more efficient and timely
allocation of transient slips. Docks and other structures are increasingly made of refined composite
structures designed to withstand the elements more effectively than wood. Marinas have increasingly
turned to new products with environmental and fire-resistant attributes. Engineers have redesigned boat
yard and dockside disposal systems to meet more demanding environmental regulations. In some cases
space limitations have been resolved with offshore islands for docking and refueling, and mixed-use
facilities such as floating restaurants and lounges. New technology and equipment has also led to dry-
stack storage where powerful forklift-type vehicles permit the lifting and stacking of boats into shelf-like
racks for off-season storage. This method of winter storage also requires a smaller land area.

9.1 Exclusions

While it is a way to fill slips, most marinas in Canada do not allow live-aboards, where the boater uses his
or her vessel as year-round living space. To our knowledge, Bluffer’s Park Marina in Scarborough and
Whitby Harbour Marina to a lesser degree are the only two marinas in Ontario that allow this practice and
Metropolitan Toronto is in the process of decreasing the number of live-aboards at Bluffer’s Park.
Typically, the revenues generated from live-aboards through a combination of devices such as Live-
aboard License Fees, slip rentals, and live-aboard moorage surcharges are insufficient to cover the
municipality’s cost of providing higher than normal hydro amperage year-round for heating and
refrigeration, sewage and water systems, ice-free slips, and snow clearance and are not commensurate
with property taxes for the same municipal services for land based living spaces. We therefore,
recommend that live-aboards not be allowed in the proposed Port Hope Marina.

9.2 Necessary Marina Facilities and Services


9.2.1 Water Supply

Water usage requirements should be estimated on the basis of 95 litres per occupied slip per day for
recreational boats and 250 litres per slip per day for commercial charter/tour boat operations. These
numbers represent an estimate of the peak day demands and may be seasonally adjusted for overall
water supply volume demands.

9.2.2 Sanitary Facilities and Waste Water Systems

Appropriate restrooms and shower facilities are a must in virtually every marina facility. A great deal of
concern has been expressed about boats in marinas fouling the area waters by discharge of waste
materials. One proven method to mitigate boater discharge of sanitary waste is to provide clean and
accessible toilet facilities in numbers suitable for the volume of use by patrons in the marina. Sanitary
facilities should be located within 150 metres of the shore end of every pier. Although marina design
guidelines normally require a specified number of toilet facilities per number of boats, experience has
shown that owners of power boats 11 metres (36 feet) in length and longer will rarely use the shoreside
heads while owners of boats 9 metres (30 feet) in length and smaller will most often use the shoreside
heads. Sail boaters with boats 10 metres (35 feet) in length and smaller will generally use the shoreside
heads while boats of any type 15 metres (50 feet) and over will rarely use the shoreside facilities. Heads
with private showers are the standard with new marina developments. There is sufficient space within the
300 and 550 square metre space estimate for the Port Hope marina building in the Inner Basin and East
Beach Location respectively to allow for the latest standards for private heads and showers. Heads and
showers should never be coin operated. The resentment resulting from pay toilets is not worth the small
return in income. In fact, the restrooms should be the best that the project can afford and should be used
as a marketing tool for prospective boaters.

Sewage pumpout facilities for boats should be provided at a minimum of one pumpout per 100 hundred
recreational slips or fraction thereof. The slip count may consider only the size of boats normally fitted
with sewage holding tank capability. Runabouts and day sailors not having provision for fixed sewage
holding tanks need not be included in the boat count for pumpout capacity.

The table below presents the suggested number of sanitary facilities appropriate for various size marinas.

9.2.3 Fire Protection Water Systems

Fire protection systems are becoming commonplace in modern marinas. The requirements for provision
of water distribution systems for fire fighting are perhaps the most varied of any utility furnished in a
marina. Fire protection is most often the responsibility of the local fire department or fire marshall. There
appears to be little consensus on the appropriate requirements for marinas and each fire department
injects its own thinking and desires. We would recommend that Town officials meet with the fire
department to discuss these issues prior to the final design of the water delivery system.

9.2.4 Solid Waste

The proper disposal of solid waste should be encouraged by placement of trash receptacles in convenient
areas in a reasonable number. Generally as a minimum, a trash receptacle should be placed at the
shore end of each main dock and in any area where people tend to gather such as a ship store, haul-out
facility, launch ramp, etc. Container type dumpsters should also be provided to allow for the frequent
emptying of smaller trash receptacles. The marina should be posted to advise users that overboard
discharge of solid waste in the marina or waterways is prohibited. Solid waste generation is estimated at
3 pounds per slip per day.

9.2.5 Waste Oil

The marina should provide a suitable waste oil container for disposal of used engine oil, etc. The
container should be designed to allow easy placement of the waste oil into the tank and the fill pipe
should be fitted with a tight cover. The container should have a tray or other structure to contain any
overspillage resulting from the oil transfer operation. In general, a 950 to 1,050 litre waste oil tank will
provide a suitable waste oil capacity for up to 150 boats.

9.2.6 Laundry Facilities

Providing laundry equipment in a marina can be a money maker and a positive marketing tool for
attracting transient boaters. Outright purchase of laundry equipment is often favoured over leasing. The
quality of commercial laundry machines is such that down time and repair costs are minimal. The
machines are generally coin operated. Although the number of laundry units may vary by type of boat
mix, a rule of thumb is to provide three washers and four dryers for each 100 slips in a transient marina.
Money changing machines may also be desirable to keep users from bothering the marina staff for
change and also for operation beyond the hours of manning by marina staff if desired.

9.2.7 Marina Office

The marina office is the heart of the marina operation. From here the marina manager must meet and
greet the public, solve customer problems, provide operational guidance to marina staff and perform the
administrative aspects of the marina operation. Its location should be central to the marina, since, all
marina users will visit the marina office at one time or other during their stay at the marina. It should be
easily accessible and well marked. Preferably the marina office, or parts of it, should have a commanding
view of the entire marina facility. It should have public and private spaces. The public should be
welcomed into an area that is comfortable but arranged to expedite people on their business rather than
providing a hangout. To accomplish this goal, a counter or dutch door is appropriate. Both convey a brief
encounter and rapid completion of business.

The marina manager should have a private office to provide the proper climate for airing patron or
employee grievances. The manager will also need time to complete paper work and scheduling. There
is no given size that a marina office must be, nor any specific guidelines for its form, shape or extent,
other than to fulfil the above mission. In or near the marina office there should be one or more pay
phones for public use to prevent tying up the marina office phones. With the high number of cell phones
currently in use, the provision of the phones is largely a public relations or good service offering to save
boaters roaming and/or long distance charges on their out-of-area cell phones. The marina office lobby is

65
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

a good place for a bulletin board and message centre. Some marinas will also have a weather station
readout for the area in the lobby and other weather related information available and internet access. If
vending machines are desired, this may also be the most appropriate location for security reasons.

The marina office should have a good array of communications equipment suitable for the marina
operation. This generally includes landline telephones, marine VHF radio telephones (especially if you
intend to take reservations), and local use walkie talkie type radio units for use by the marina manager
and staff. The office should also have a status board with the marina layout painted or inscribed on the
board together with slip assignments and other operational information. In lieu of the traditional status
board, some larger marinas have computer generated slips layout presentations, that can provide a full
range of information on slips, occupancy status, utilities availability, water depth, etc. Whatever system is
selected, it should be useable by the marina staff and provide useful and rapid information. This aspect is
especially important for transient marinas at peak use periods. Other computer software applications will
also be necessary to perform bookkeeping, inventory, invoicing, and word processing functions. Ideally
the marina office space should include a “mud room” for marina staff to get out of the weather and to
remove wet and dirty foul weather gear.

9.2.8 Boat Yard Facilities

While we have not provided for an on-site repair service, a few marinas within the market area of Port
Hope do. These services typically include the following: engine and mechanical services, carpentry,
painting, electronics, and fibreglass repair. If such services are considered at a later date they should be
located in a isolated location on the site due to their associated noise and odour concerns. The provision
of these services is often provided through a partnership agreement with a private operator.

9.3 Operational Aspects

No matter how well sited, designed and constructed a marina is, if it is not well operated it will not be
successful. Marinas are part of the service industry and the safety and needs of marina patrons must be
provided in a knowledgeable and efficient manner. Most marinas are operated by a team of individuals
that must function effectively and with a plan of action. In order to manage the team effectively, a well
thought out plan of action must be developed. The plan of action will contain administrative aspects,
operations guidance, rules and regulations for marina customers, and protocols to handle emergency
situations.

9.3.1 Service Orientation

The success of the marina will rely on the ability to attract and retain customers. As with most high-end
recreational pursuits, many customers will not appreciate the high capital cost of constructing the marina
or the cost to properly maintain the facility. It is therefore extremely important to provide quality services at
a fair price and in a friendly manner. Providing competent dockhands to assist in docking and undocking
is a service well appreciated by most boaters, especially new boaters who may not be experienced boat
handlers. Transient boaters will generally not be familiar with the marina layout or with the effects of wind
and current at the marina location. The dockhands may represent the first impression of the quality of the
marina and they should act and respond to the customer’s requests accordingly. The dockhands can, in
addition to helping dock the vessel, provide information on registration and marina policy and direct the
transient boater to other marina or area services. Just as the buzz word for real estate marketing is
location, location, location; it might be said that the buzz word for a successful marina operation is
service, service, service.

9.3.2 Insurance

It is important to create an atmosphere that will mitigate liability and reduce insurance costs. Every
marina manager and his or her staff should be on constant patrol for areas that create high insurance

66
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

risks. The physical plant should be routinely scrutinized for defects. Missing handrails, tripping hazards,
loose planks, exposed wiring, slippery floors, etc. should be tended to and repaired immediately.

The Clean Marine Eco-Rating Program under the auspices of the Ontario Marine Operators Association
(OMOA) assists in this regard as it helps to protect the environment at the marina, which increases the
value of the facility, while decreasing the risks and hazards, a factor that also shows up in reducing
insurance premiums. Flying the Clean Marine flag also displays the marina’s commitment to the
environment and is an incentive in attracting the more environmentally conscious boaters. Under this
program participating marinas have adopted environmental best management practices as set out in the
OMOA’s Clean Marine Manual. The manual was developed through the cooperation of the OMOA,
Environment Canada, and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE). An audit of the marina is
completed based on a variety of issues covered in the manual including setting “Clean Marine” policies,
goals and objectives, waste, dock and yard management, and boat maintenance. Retail operations,
visitor facilities, and subcontractor polices are also included. Scores are tabulated and converted to an
Eco-Rating of from a low of one to a high of five Green Leaf Anchors. More than 3501 marinas and yacht
clubs in Ontario currently have a Clean Marine Eco-Rating.

9.3.3 Security and Surveillance

Providing adequate security is difficult because people legitimately using the marina often do not want to
be subjected to intense security clearance to obtain access to their boat or other marina facilities. In the
case of the Port Hope Marina, general public access should not be allowed on the main and finger docks.
A card key or keyed gate should be sufficient to control access to these areas. It may be necessary to
provide security wings around a dock gate to prevent people from swinging around the gate and thereby
gaining access.

Adequate lighting should be carried out throughout the facility including washroom facilities, laundry area
and all places where the boaters may have occasion to pass or use during darkness. Care must be taken
however, not to create a lighting pattern that interferes with boat navigation or distracts from activities
aboard the berthed boats. Low level lighting on the docks should be designed to illuminate the dock
surface and immediate area for safe passage but should not be directed to the water berth or in any way
blind the vision of a boat operator manoeuvring in the darkness.

9.3.4 Concierge Services

A current trend in the marina industry is to enhance the number and quality of services provide to the
transient customers. The services provided are often beyond those that can be directly provided by the
usual scope of the marina, and the procurement of the services may be difficult for the recent arrival
unfamiliar with the local area. A fee for concierge services may or may not be levied by the provider.
Arrangements are often made with the actual provider of the service to pay the concierge a commission
for recommending the service. Many municipally operated marinas catering to transient boaters provide
this service as a matter of course. Concierge services are varied but may include: assisting in obtaining
provisioning, making reservations for restaurant dining, obtaining tickets to major cultural/
entertainment/sporting events, arranging for medical assistance, arranging for local tours or excursions,
assisting in making travel arrangements, and servicing other personal needs of the transient boaters.

9.3.5 Operations Manual

An operations manual should be prepared to define marina operations policy and define actions that
operations personnel are expected to execute in the day-to-day operation of the marina. All operational
personnel should be required to familiarize themselves with its content and goals. A start of the season
workshop is constructive, especially since many of the dockhands will be first time employees.

67
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

A good operations manual will be comprehensive and tailored to the specific needs and requirements of
the marina in question. Some typical operations manual categories include:

 Hours of operation and manning levels


 Personnel orientation
 Daily and weekly routine and work assignments
 Dress code and housekeeping
 Use and operation of marina equipment
 Security policy
 Fire prevention and control procedures
 Marine radio procedures
 Cash receipts and credit card policy
 Procurement of supplies and equipment
 Handling of outside contractors and vendors
 Transient vessel reservations and vessel handling
 Allowable work that may be performed by boat owners while at the marina
 Pumpout facility procedures
 Vending machine operations
 Procedures for arrival of foreign vessels
 Liaison with Coast Guard and other enforcement agencies
 Procedures in case of storms
 Emergency procedures

9.3.6 Maintenance

Maintenance is the cornerstone of the marina’s safety and long term survival. It should be a continuing
process with defined areas of scrutiny and scheduled follow-up repair and monitoring. Maintenance
monitoring should be a part of the daily routine, at least in so far as observations of facility components
and recording deficiencies that are observed. Maintenance may be generally grouped into two categories:
unscheduled and scheduled.

Unscheduled maintenance is of a nature that requires immediate attention to protect life and property.
Examples might include uneven or missing deck planks that might create a tripping hazard or a broken
power post with exposed wire that might electrocute the unsuspecting user. Scheduled maintenance
might include complete deck refastening or the installation of new mooring chains on a periodic basis.
The best way to address maintenance is to develop a maintenance plan that addresses the specific
marina and its staff.

The marina manager usually develops the maintenance plan with input from the marina owner and
discussions with the marina staff. All items requiring scrutiny should be included. Depending on the level
of sophistication desired, the plan should include time frames for inspection surveys, staffing of inspection
teams, forms for reporting data, task initiation forms, and task completion forms, as well as cost
itemization for maintenance costs.

In order to appropriately apply the results of a good maintenance plan, it is necessary to have available
funding to implement the maintenance operation. We have provided a budget line item in the financial
projections as presented in SECTION 7 and EXHIBITs 27 and 28 of the report for Maintenance &
Repairs, and Capital Reserve for Replacement. It is recommended that these two line items be continued
in the annual operating budget. A maintenance account should be developed and updated from the
conditions discovered in the maintenance surveys. Major maintenance items should be scheduled to be
implemented in a time frame acceptable from the financial as well as from the need perspective.
Assessing maintenance needs will allow for incremental funding creation in a reserve account and will not
require major capital expenditure on short notice. Of course, major emergency items will require
immediate attention, but these can be minimized by conscious applications of preventative maintenance
and periodic maintenance surveys and inspections.

SECTION 10 – EXISTING PORT HOPE MARINA OPERATION

10.0 Current Operation

The existing Port Hope Marina located at the mouth of the Ganaraska River operates with one six month
full time staff person and three part time employees. The Harbour Master also assists with Parks duties
when required throughout the season. The marina staff also maintains the marina buildings, fish cleaning
station, beach, and harbour area. The marina offers space for 22 seasonal and 5 transient slips during
the boating season. During the days on which we visited the marina there were between 12 and 16
recreational and Charter Fishing Operator boats tied to the marina wall. There are currently 9 Charter
Fishing Operators using the marina facilities. The launch ramp is used by approximately 10 to 15 boats
per day from Monday through Friday and 20 to 30 per day on the weekends. The marina caters to
seasonal and transient recreational boaters and charter fishing boats.

10.1 Operational Review and Recommendations

Based on our on-site observations, discussions with marina staff, discussions with on-site boaters and
interviews with the Charter Fishing Operators we believe the existing marina is professionally and
competently run and managed. The marina’s ability to improve its’ net income position is limited by the
physical location rather than any operational aspects. As it is located at the mouth of the Ganaraska
River, it is limited in the number of seasonal and transient boats that it can accommodate. While the fixed
costs (disbursements such as labour, waste disposal and utilities) are appropriate for a marina of this
size, the limited amount of space for boats severely limits the potential for increased revenue generation.
Given the location and services offered, in order to be competitive, the marina’s seasonal fee schedule
will likely always need to remain approximately 20 percent below that of other major marinas within the
seasonal market area (i.e. Cobourg Marina, Port Whitby Marina, and Peterborough Marina are charging
$51.00/ft., $49.00/ft., and $40.00/ft. respectively in 2013 for un-serviced slips). Port Hope’s fees in this
case should at least be in the $36.00/ft. to $38/ft. range.

Two concerns were raised during our interviews with the Charter Fishing Operators:

 Security; and,
 Perceived free use of launch ramp

While there is an inherent belief that security is included in the payment of seasonal or transient fees at
any marina, it is also incumbent upon the boaters to ensure that valuables and expensive equipment are
safely stored in a secure place. The construction of a security fence would limit the public’s access to the
boardwalk during those times that the gates are locked and this would reduce the public’s access for
walking along the boardwalk. As a result we have recommended in a previous section of this report that
overnight security be provided at the existing marina as part of Inner Basin Marina operating budget.
Coverage would occur for 20 weeks, 7 days per week from 8:00 pm until 8:00 am (i.e. 12 hours per day).
Casual and/or full-time marina staff is on-site from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm. In addition to providing
overnight security these individuals would be expected to monitor the use of the launch ramp and collect
the appropriate user fees. This approach should alleviate both of the concerns raised regarding security
and misuse of the launch ramp. The security staff would collect fees for use of the launch ramp from the
early morning boaters that arrive at the ramp prior to 8:00 am, and therefore may increase the revenue
accruing to the marina. If the Inner Harbour Marina option does not go forward, the contract labour cost
at approximately $27,000 annually is cost prohibitive as part of the existing marina’s operating budget.

Based on our review of the 2012 revenues and disbursements shown in the table on the following page,
we recommend that an attempt be made to bring the margin for the cost and selling price of fuel and oil
more in line with the industry average of 80 to 85 percent cost of sale. The marina increased the price of

69
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

fuel and oil in 2013, but the cost of sale of fuel and oil at 93 percent is still above the industry average.
While we acknowledge that this may be a function of the small amount of fuel purchased and sold by the
marina, increasing the selling price of fuel and oil will lower the cost of sale. All other revenues and
disbursements are within the acceptable range for a marina of this size.

10.2 Proposed Fee Schedule – Recreational and Commercial Boaters

We have reviewed the fee schedule for the 2013 to 2016 period as provided in the table on the following
page which is represented in the Municipality’s consolidated fee by-law. The transient fees and seasonal
launch pass are in keeping with the area market and are deemed as fair value. The fees for seasonal
dockage for recreational and commercial boats however are well below that which is in keeping with the
market area. A fee of $38.00/ft. in 2013 for an un-serviced seasonal dock would have priced the Port
Hope Marina in a very competitive position with all marinas in the seasonal market area. We recommend
that the seasonal dockage for recreational boats for 2014 be raised to a minimum of $38.60/ft. or 80
percent of the average for the seasonal market area for un-serviced slips whichever is higher. We
recommend that seasonal dockage for commercial boats is raised to $42.50/ft. in 2014 or 10 percent
more than the seasonal area average for recreational boats whichever is higher. The recommended 10
percent surcharge for commercial boats is considerably less than the 25 percent charged at Cobourg
Marina.

We have shown our recommended fee schedule for recreational and commercial seasonal dockage at
the existing marina in the table on the following page.

10.2.1 Projected Revenues and Expenses at Existing Marina 2014 Through 2016

The table on the following page indicates the expected revenues and expenses for the existing marina
based on the recommended increases in fees for 2014, 2015 and 2016, and the selling price of fuel and
oil to the boaters is set at 20.5 percent above the marina’s purchase price. It also includes additional
expenses for maintenance dredging of the Ganaraska River. While these changes will improve the
revenue stream, and reduce the disbursements, the limited ability to accommodate additional boats
prevents the marina from reaching a breakeven position while maintaining user fees that are competitive
with other marinas in the seasonal market area.

Despite the projected annual net income loss the existing marina is a valuable asset to the Municipality,
creating activity on the waterfront, and attracting seasonal, commercial and transient boaters who spend
money away from the marina at local businesses (i.e. food and beverage establishments, retail stores,
attractions, etc.)

In the event that the Municipality decides not to develop the proposed 137 slip full service marina in the
Inner Basin we recommend that the existing marina continue to operate. In addition to the positive
attributes mentioned above, the existing marina will contribute to and have a positive impact on the re-
development of the Centre Pier, albeit smaller than the proposed 137 slip marina.

10.3 Proposed Fee Schedule – Yacht Club Members

The Port Hope Yacht Club has been established for over 50 years. The Yacht Club has a lease
agreement with the Municipality for use of the inner harbour which ends in May 2016. The agreement
includes an option to terminate the lease by the lessor giving 90 days’ notice. Fees for the Yacht Club
are based on a linear foot charge of $15.73 in 2013; $17.30 in 2014; and $19.03 in 2015. At the present
time yacht club members are using 36 to 40 moorings rather than slips to secure their boats. It is
expected that PHAI inner basin clean-up will commence in 2016 at which time the Yacht Club will be re-
located to Cobourg Marina. The Yacht Club operate the club facilities, and are responsible for building
maintenance, garbage collection, and grounds maintenance at no cost to the Municipality. Fees
generated from the Yacht Club were deposited into the Port Hope Harbor Commission accounts and the
dredging costs have primarily been funded from the Commissioners of the Port Hope Harbor, Divestiture
Funds and the Municipality. The annual dredging cost varies, however it does exceed $100,000 in some
years.

While we agree that yacht club members are a valuable addition to any marina particularly in terms of
their “ongoing activity level”, “pride of ownership”, and “welcoming attitude” which is extremely important

72
Shoreplan Engineering Limited + TOURISTICS
Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

to transient boaters who are unfamiliar with the marina and surrounding area, we believe that they have
to contribute fairly to the financial success of the marina.

In the following paragraph we present our recommendations regarding the annual fees to be charged to
the yacht club members under two scenarios:

 Yacht Club operating out of the 137 slip Inner Basin Marina

 Yacht Club operating out of Inner Basin without 137 slip Inner Basin Marina development

10.3.1 Fee Structure in Inner Basin (With Development of Slips)

As described previously in Section 9 Financial Projections as an inducement to encourage the Port Hope
Yacht Club members to stay in the proposed 137 slip full service Inner Basin Marina, we recommend that
the opening year rates for the slips be reduced by 20 percent for the yacht club members1. We further
recommend that this reduction will be reduced by 2 percent each year between 2021 and 2031 (i.e.
$40.80 per linear foot for yacht club members in 2021 vs. $51.00 for all other recreational boaters in
2021; $51.40 vs. $57.15 in 2026; and $64.65 vs. $64.65 by 2031). This is a common practice in new
marinas with an already existing yacht club.

10.3.2 Fee Structure in Inner Basin (Without Development of Slips)

In the event that the Municipality of Port Hope decides to continue operating the existing marina rather
than developing the proposed 137 slip full service Inner Basin Marina after the Port Hope Area Initiative
(PHAI) cleanup of the basin is completed in 2018, we recommend that the annual per linear foot user fee
for each yacht member’s boat be set at 60 percent2 of that charged to seasonal recreational boaters using
the wall at the existing marina for un-serviced dockage. See EXHIBIT 40A at the end of the report.

Since the Yacht Club is the main beneficiary of the annual dredging we further recommend that thirty
percent of the total annual cost of dredging the Inner Basin area be paid by the Yacht Club. Under this
scenario we have projected that each Yacht Club member with a boat would be required to pay a
minimum of $536 and a maximum of $1,320 between 2021 and 2024 for dredging. The Municipality
would still be responsible for the remaining 70 percent of the annual dredging cost (i.e. between $40,000
and $100,000 annually depending on the amount of dredging required). As shown in EXHIBIT 40B at the
end of this report the resulting combined user fee and dredging cost for each Yacht Club member (i.e.
$668 in 2021; $1,998 in 2022; $2,008 in 2023 and $1,234 in 2024, averaged over the four years at
$1,477) would be competitive with the rates charged at the marinas in Cobourg and Whitby.3

In the event that the Municipality requires the Yacht Club to pay 50 percent of the annual dredging cost,
the minimum dredging cost to each Yacht Club member with a boat would increase to approximately
$893 and the maximum to approximately $2,200. The combined user fee and dredging cost for each
Yacht Club member would remain at $668 in 2021 since no dredging would be required, and increase to
$2,878 in 2022; $2,888 in 2023 and $1,591 in 2024 for a four year average of $2,006. In this case the
Municipality would still be responsible for between $29,000 and $70,000 in annual dredging costs.

The Municipality may wish to consider having the Yacht Club pay the entire annual dredging costs as
they would be the sole users of the Inner Basin under a non marina development scenario. Each Yacht
Club members’ combined user fee and dredging cost would be $668 in 2012; $5,078 in 2022; $5,088 in
2023; and $2,485 in 2024 for a four year average of $3,330. We believe that this would be an
unreasonable fee for mooring a boat in the Inner Basin.4

The annual user fees with the Yacht Club responsible for 30, 50 or 100 percent of the dredging cost have
been based on an average sized boat of 26 feet (approximately 8 metres) and 32 boat owning members.
If the number of boat owning members increases, the cost per boater will decrease.

______
1
In the financial projections we have assumed that the Yacht Club Members will use 9 metre un-serviced slips.
Should they require 11 or 14 metre slips or 9 metre slips with 30 amp power and water, we recommend the
same diminishing discount rate should apply
2
60 percent reflects the fact that the Yacht Club is using buoys not slips and that the Club is responsible for
building maintenance, garbage collection, and grounds maintenance at no cost to the Municipality
3
Based on an average 26 foot boat the combined user fee and dredging cost would be equal to $56.81/ft. over the
four years 2021 to 2024
4
Based on an average 26 foot boat the combined user fee and dredging cost would be equal to $128.06/ft. over the
four years 2021 to 2024

Source: EXHIBIT 8A has been adjusted to only include those slips capable of accommodating boats 6 metres
or longer

Note: No data is available for the market area regarding the number of boats 6 metres or longer that are
moored at private docks or boat houses or are trailered to launch ramps on a per use basis
2
No adjustment made for boats moored at private docks or boat houses or are trailered to launch ramps on
a per use basis
3
Based on discussions with local planners, Conservation Authorities and the Ontario Marine Operators
Association we have estimated that 10% of the households with waterfront property on Lake Ontario and
the portion of the Trent-Severn Waterway within 50 kilometres of the proposed Port Hope Marina site(s)
have boats moored at private docks or boat houses and based on discussions with local marina operators,
boat builders/manufacturers, and National Marine Manufacturers Association - Canada 20% of boats 6 to
less than 8 metres (i.e. 20 feet to less than 26 feet) and 3% of boats 8 metres to less than 9 metres (i.e. 26
feet to less than 30 feet) are trailered to launch ramps on a per use basis
4
Gores Landing Park & Marina in Gores Landing and Willow Bend Marina in Peterborough will re-open in 2013
under new ownership with a combined total of 70 slips suitable of accommodating boats 6 metres and longer
5
Cobourg Marina to have additional 150 seasonal slips in place for 2016 boating season
6
New Oshawa Marina with 185 seasonal slips currently on hold, is in place for hoped for 2019 boating season
7
New Oshawa Marina with 185 seasonal slips is not in place

Note: Our interviews with planning officials in the municipalities of Peterborough, Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville,
Cobourg, and Brighton; and counties of Northumberland, Durham, Peterborough, and Kawartha Lakes
indicated Oshawa hopes to have new marina with 185 seasonal slips in place by 2017, and Cobourg
plans to have 150 additional slips in place by 2016.

Note: The Ontario Marine Operators Association indicated at the November 2009 annual meeting that there
has been a reduction of over 1,000 slips in Ontario in the past two to three year period due to
smaller privately run 100 to 150 slip marinas closing and re-developing as alternative-use
recreational or residential properties.

Note: Based on our discussions with the Port Hope Area Initiative (PHAI), it is our understanding that the work on the Centre Pier will not commence until after the
work on the Inner Basin is completed in 2018. We have therefore assumed a 2021 opening year for the Inner Basin Marina. This is subject to change
based on the type and extent of work required to clean up and return the Centre Pier area to a usable state.
1
Due to the location of the Inner Basin relative to the CAMECO Plant to the west, the rail lines to the north and the uncertainty as to the level of work that may be
required on the Centre Pier we have projected only 1 percent of boaters at area marinas will be interested in trading up or changing marinas. The industry
average for new marinas is 2 percent.
2
We have projected that approximately 50% of the existing 32 Port Hope Yacht Club members will wish to keep their boats in the re-configured Inner Basin Marina

Note: We have projected that that the current 8 to 10 charter fishing boats operating out of the existing Port Hope marina can be expanded to a minimum of 15 by
2021 given that the Port Darlington and Newcastle Marinas are 100% occupied; Cobourg is discouraging the 4 to 5 in their basin; and Newcastle will be
reducing the number of slips available by 2016 due to the construction of additional condominium units with slips being offered as an inducement to
purchase a unit. See SECTION 3.4 in the Report. We have further assumed that the Charter Fishing Boats will continue to operate out of the existing
marina location on the Ganaraska River and that a floating dock and security fencing system will be installed to correct the current security situation.

Based on industry averages with new marinas, assumes 2 percent of boaters at area marinas will be interested in trading up or changing marinas

2
We have assumed that approximately 50% of the existing 32 Port Hope Yacht Club members will wish to keep their boats in the new East Beach Location Marina

3
We have assumed that that the current 8 to 10 charter fishing boats operating out of the existing Port Hope marina can be expanded to a minimum of 15 by 2021
given that the Port Darlington and Newcastle Marinas are 100% occupied; Cobourg is discouraging the 4 to 5 in their basin; and Newcastle will be reducing the
number of slips available by 2016 due to the construction of additional condominium units with slips being offered as an inducement to purchase a unit. See

Toronto Island Marina and Bluffers Park Marina are owned by the City. Based on a call for tenders in 2006,
separate 20 leases commencing July 1, 2006, have been granted to private operators based on 6% of gross annual
revenues. The operators are responsible for all operating costs, capital costs including dredging, utilities and
property taxes.
2
The City of St. Catharines’ lease with Port Dalhousie Pier Inc. commenced May 15, 1995 and continues until April
14, 2015. There is an option to renew the lease for a further possible twenty year term in five year periods subject to
renegotiated provisions of the lease. The lease which commenced at 15% of gross receipts for 1995 and 1996, calls
for an increase of 1% of gross revenues every two years. It currently stands at 25% of gross receipts in 2013 and will
continue at this rate for each year, or each part thereof, that the lease remains in effect. Lease payments are due
and payable quarterly.

people who have sent in comments are obviously very passionate about their views. The numbers
presented in the report and the conclusions reached are based on sources that are cited, and our over 30
years of experience working on marina and marine-related tourism projects worldwide.

Unfortunately for Port Hope, senior levels of government are no longer as generous as they were 10 and
15 years ago when it comes to funding infrastructure projects in the leisure field. If Port Hope wishes to
have a marina on its waterfront, the reality is that it will cost the residents an average annual residential
levy of from $30.00 to $229.00 for 25 years depending on which option is chosen.

1. With the aging of the boating population, boaters more than ever have a preference for
slips/docks not moorings, this is evidenced by the fact that only 8 of 124 marinas and yacht clubs
within the seasonal and transient market offer moorings, only Port Hope Yacht Club offers
moorings exclusively. By providing slips in the Inner Basin rather than moorings, provides the
opportunity to charge more as reflected in our projections.

Due to the large number of projected boats that will be looking for a marina slip between 2014
and 2031, we do believe that the proposed Inner Basin Marina should reach full occupancy by
2030. Just because moorings are not being filled does not mean that slips will not be; a much
larger proportion of recreational boaters are interested in slips than moorings.

2. We used Cobourg and Whitby’s marina fees for 2013 as the basis of our projections for the fees
to be charged in the proposed Port Hope Marina. These rates were inflated by 1.5 percent per
year throughout the 2014 to 2031 projection period. The projected slip fees used in this study are
not at the level charged by Toronto clubs. Fees in Toronto are considerably higher than those
used in our projections for Port Hope (i.e. 2013 rates for Ontario Place Marina, 30 amp -
$82.85/ft., 50 amp - $87.60/ft.; Toronto Island Marina, Class A docking - $83.00/ft., Class B
docking - $80.00/ft., 50 amp an additional $10.50/ft; Outer Harbour Marina, 30 amp - $94.45, 50
amp - $102.85).

3. A risk assessment was not included as part of the Terms of Reference for the study. Our
projections would likely not have changed even with a risk assessment. Interest rates, the
economy, gas prices, and water levels are continually fluctuating, and over the 11 years of our
projections 2018 to 2028 and 2021 to 2031 we would expect some or all of these factors to
increase and decrease a number of times.

4. We are not aware of any marina market in which 100 percent of the slips are occupied every
year. There are always slips which cannot be used for various reasons such as low water, under
repair, problems with the fairway adjacent to the slips, no power or water hookups, slip lengths
too short for the boats desiring a space, etc. This does not mean that there is an over-supply of
slips.

5. The study parameters were that we look at two locations as potential sites for the marina. While
the East Beach is a more desirable location for a marina, it is cost prohibitive. If Port Hope
wishes to have a marina on its waterfront, the proposed 137 slip Inner Basin Marina offers the
most affordable option.

6. We did not address the provision for launching canoes, kayaks, and small sailing dinghy’s. The
limited size of the Inner Basin may well prevent this opportunity for safety reasons. But it should
be looked at as part of the final design parameters for whichever concept is chosen.

7. We made numerous site visits to both the Inner Basin and East Beach locations and listened to
the trains passing. Throughout the report we have acknowledged the negative aspects of both
the noise from the trains and the nearby industrial uses and the fact that it will impact on the
occupancy rates. The fact that we set the starting year rates below those of either Cobourg or
Whitby also reflects this market concern. Our discussions with boaters in the seasonal and
transient markets indicated that while it was not ideal, it would not prevent them from considering
use of the proposed marina in Port Hope.

8. There seems to be an undue concern about the distance that either site is from the downtown.
Both sites are within walking distance of the downtown and the services the downtown has to
offer. Section 4.4 summarizes responses from transient boaters. Distance to downtown was
never mentioned as an issue.

It is also likely that the area north of the train trestle (e.g. Canadian Tire site) will be more
attractive for re-development once a final decision is made on the development of the Centre Pier
and a decision is made whether or not to have a marina on the waterfront.

9. The proposed marina on either the East Beach or Inner Basin site was never envisioned as
serving only the boaters belonging to the Port Hope Yacht Club.

10. The report acknowledges the concerns raised by the charter fishing operators and has proposed
that the boat launch be more closely monitored. Marina staff is also looking at other alternatives
such as the carded gate used at the launch ramp in Belleville.

11. We did interview boaters who would be willing to consider Port Hope as a seasonal marina and
those who would visit Port Hope as a transient boater. We did not ask them to confirm in writing
that they would do this as the project is only a proposal at this time.

The projections for the demand for slips is based on a number of factors: the projected growth in
the number and size of boats, the waiting lists at other marinas, and the increases in the number
of persons in the categories with high participation rates in boating.

12. The slip rates used in our projections while competitive with those of Cobourg and Whitby would
still be lower in 2021 than those charged at Cobourg or Whitby. We have used an inflation rate of
1.5 percent per year. Most marinas increase their rates above inflation each year. There would
still be a “price advantage” in Port Hope. It would however not be as large as it is in 2013 (i.e.
$15.73 vs. $51.00), which we consider is unreasonable.

13. The general statements regarding the economic impacts of a marina on Port Hope’s waterfront
are not site specific, and many of them would be similar to “those expected in Deseronto” or any
other waterfront for that matter. And while it is acknowledged that the impacts would be different
if the marina were in the East Beach rather than Inner Basin location, marinas in other
municipalities have demonstrated a positive impact on the waterfront and adjacent areas. There
is factual evidence of the positive impact that marinas have on waterfronts in Whitby, Cobourg
and Belleville.

Port Hope Marina Business Plan Study – FINAL REPORT October 25, 2013

The numbers used to determine the economic impacts for boater spending away from the marina
come from documented surveys. The over-all results of the economic impacts regarding GDP,
labour income, jobs created, and taxes generated are a function of the input/output tables used in
the Ministry of Tourism’s “Tourism Regional Economic Impact Model” (TREIM) which is widely
accepted by the private and public sector in determining economic impacts.

14. The proposed new marina if developed within the Inner Basin will increase public’s access to the
waterfront as residents and tourists will be allowed access to the four metre wide dock along the
west side of the Inner Basin. Security gates will prevent entry to the two meter wide docks. It is
also likely that a marina in the Inner Basin would act as a catalyst regarding the type of re-
development that would take place on the Centre Pier, opening up that area to the public as well
with possible restaurants, bars, retail outlets and open space, etc.

15. The numbers used for boater spending away from the marina for both seasonal and transient
boaters come from surveys done among Ontario residents and at marinas on the Great Lakes
and are taken from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism’s annual Travel Activities and Motivation
Survey (TAMS) and the 2005 Great Lakes Boating Survey, conducted by the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and Michigan State University,
Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Resources. We believe them to be reasonable.

Visiting and seasonal boaters will contribute to retail, finance, transportation, wholesale trade, and
manufacturing through the indirect and induced expenditures that occur as a result of these
boaters’ spending.

16. The numbers used in the report for dredging reflect those given to us by the Parks and
Recreation Department for 2013, 2014 and 2015 increased by inflation from $125,000, $125,000
and $50,000 respectively, for the removal of approximately 5,000; 5,000; and 2,500 cubic metres
of silt. It is acknowledged that these are average amounts of silt removal and could conceivably
be higher or lower in any given year. Thus the 2027 number reflects the third year of the cycle
and in which a lesser amount of silt would need to be removed.
