• • . 2. All developments shall comply with other local, state and federal regulations relating to critical areas,as applicable. 3. Best available science shall be used in identifying, evaluating and mitigating impacts of development proposals. The City shall require sufficient geological,hydrological and biological studies to determine the impacts of the proposal. (See EMC 19.37 and Planning Director Interpretation No.2-2000 in Appendix A.) Comment: Potential impacts to threatened and endangered species have been evaluated in a Biological Assessment (Pentec, August 26, 2013) and appropriate construction protocols are being developed in conjunction with the Corps of Engineers to minimize and/or avoid construction related impacts. 34. Construction sites and on-going activities involved in the handling and storage of fuel, chemicals,oil and other substances with the potential for spillage into adjacent waters, shall have operational procedures to prevent and handle potential spills. In addition physical structures which would contain any potential spills shall also be provided. Procedures shall meet applicable local,state and federal requirements. Comment: The proposal must use best management practices. Section 5—Use Regulations 6.7 Piers,Docks and Floats General 3. Piers, docks, and floats shall be located, designed, and constructed so as to cause minimum interference with navigation and public use of the water surface and shoreline; to mitigate the impacts to ecological functions and critical areas, such as eelgrass beds and fish habitats (see the definition of mitigation sequencing); to avoid or minimize impacts to processes such as tidal currents and littoral drift; to minimize impacts on views; and to cause no undue harm to adjacent properties. Piers, docks and floats shall be the minimum size and height necessary to meet the needs of the proposed use. 4. Proposals for piers and docks shall include the following: the purpose of the project; description of the proposed structure (size, location relative to property lines and OHWM, design, and materials); any shoreline modification required; ownership of the lands; location, width, height and length of piers or docks on adjacent properties within three hundred feet; and sufficient studies,as determined by the planning director,to analyze the impacts of the proposal. Comment: The footprint of the existing wharf will not be increased. 5. Overhead wiring and plumbing shall be prohibited on piers or docks. Comment: No overhead wiring or plumbing is proposed.
