SHORELINE MANAGEMENT PERMIT HEARING PENINSULA PLYWOOD: Request for a Shoreline Permit allowing maintenance replacement and shortening of the existing dock, located on Ediz Hook, west of the Air Station. . Mr. VanHemert reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Glass opened the public hearing and Mr. Paul Sawyer summarized the project. In response to a question from Mr. Hallett, he explained that the old dock and runners would be removed, although they preferred to keep the inner row of pilings to anchor log booms. Chairman Glass closed the public hearing. Ms. Ross moved to recommend approval of the Shoreline Management Permit, with the condition that the old dock be removed, except for the innermost row of pilings, if they are used for anchoring log booms, citing the following findings of fact: . 1. The dock is associated with a water-oriented use which does not conflict with General Regulation C.1 and Land Use Element l.a. 2. The site is already developed and committed to industrial development and the dock is an upgrading of an existing facility, reducing adverse impacts of intensive development on undeveloped shorelines, in conformance with General Regulations C.I and 4. 3. The development has short-term and non-significant impacts on the natural beach, intertidal zone, and fish and shellfish habitats. Therefore, it complies with Natural Systems Policy E.1.a. 4. Minimum alteration of the natural characteristics of Shorelines of State-Wide Significance will occur, in compliance with General Regulation C.5. 5. Physical and visual access to the shoreline will not be further reduced by the proposed development, as encouraged by Use Activities Policy F.8.a and General Regulation C.2. 6. The location and design of the dock is compatible with Use Activities Policy F.l7. Mr. Hulett seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. PLANNING COMMISSION July lO, 1985 Page 3 .
