REPORT ON RESTORATION OPTIONS FOR DUCK ISLAND
Mark Thompson, gave a report. Pam Spencer, Public Information Officer, summarized as follows
\ per the Commission Highlights:
"Parks Services Director Mark Thompson provided the Mayor and Commissioners with a report
regarding options for restoring the southern end of Noble Park Lake including the small island
known as Duck Island. The island and the southern edge of the lake are suffering the effects of
erosion. Thompson says, "We've got more problems than just Duck Island." Thompson
explained that Canada Geese eat grass down to the roots exposing the soil and leading to erosion
along the banks and around the edges of Duck Island. The small decorative building on the island,
also known as the duck house, is in jeopardy of falling into the lake. The City had planned to
remove the final remnant of the island and move the decorative building to another location;
however, after hundreds of comments from local residents asking that the City save the island,
Thompson began researching possible restoration options. Island options considered include a
floating artificial structure, interlocking stone, filled gabion baskets, rip -rap, or a sea wall. For the
island and the southern edge of the lake, Thompson recommends either the installation of a rip -rap
retaining wall or the construction of a vinyl sea wall. In comparing the two options, rip -rap has a
lower initial cost but has a shorter lifespan and is slightly more difficult to maintain. Using rip -rap
to restore the island and the southern lake edge would cost an estimated $56,600 ($23,500 just for
the island) while a vinyl sea wall would cost an estimated $106,300 ($29,200 just for the island).
These estimates do not include repairs to the walkway around the southern edge of the lake or
repairs to the bridge and fishing pier which have been affected by erosion. Thompson
recommends challenging the public to provide a portion of the funding. Thompson also says the
decorative building would be moved, repaired, and stored until it can be installed. Thompson says
the duck house is not the original structure. The current structure is a replica that was presented in
April 2000. The Mayor and Commissioners voiced their support of restoring Duck Island and
involving the public in fundraising efforts or in the donation of materials. Detailed plans will be
presented in the future."
