The following standards are required for all in-water operations adjacent to residential properties. Operations conducted on properties zoned MI or M2 may be given greater flexibility in these requirements given the water- dependent nature of their use. (2) Docks. Review and approval of dock applications. Before issuing a permit for a dock structure, the Trustees shall consider whether the dock will have any of the following harmful effects: I~hether the dock will impair navigation or be located in areas of high vessel traffic or vessel congestion; I~ether the dock will unduly interfere with the public use of waterways for swimming, boating, fishing, shellfishing, watersMing and other water-dependant activHies; Whether the dock will unduly interfere with transit by the public along the public beaches or foreshore; ~hether the dock will significantly impair the use or value of waterfront property adjacent to or near the dock; ~hether the dock will cause degradation of surface water quality and natural resources: l~/hether the dock will cause habitat fragmentation and loss of significant coastal fish and wildlife habitats; The proposed actions if approved will result in habitat destruction and impairment with the physical loss of significant fish and wildlife habitat within a Critical Environmental Area. If the dock is constructed the loss /7/ of high and Iow intertidal marsh habitats will occur. The proposed action and associated impacts could be mitigated by seasonally mooring a vessel in public waters. This alternative would lessen the potential impacts to the high and Iow intertidal marsh habitat within Goose Creek. Whether the dock will result in the destruction of or prevent the growth of vegetated wetlands, seagrasses including eelgrass (Zostera marina) and widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima) or shellfish; The proposed dock and wood chip path will result in the destruction of or prevent the growth of vegetated wetlands. Whether the dock will unduly restrict tidal flow or water circulation; I'Fhether the dock will be safe when constructed; Whether the dock will adversely affect views, viewsheds and vistas important to the community; Whether the cumulative impacts of a residential and commercial dock will change the waterway or the environment and whether alternate design, construction, and location of the dock will minimize cumulative impacts; and Whether adequate facilities are available to boat owners and/or operators for fueling, discharge of waste and rubbish, electrical service and water service.

Avoid fragmentation of ecological communities' and maintain corridom to facilitate the free exchange of biological resources within and among communities. a. Each individual resource area should be maintained as complete contiguous areas to protect the area's natural resource values. Spec!/ically, actions that ~4,ould fragment the ecological community into separate ecological islands should be avoided. b. Where jhagmentation (?f ecological communities has already occurred, the adverse effects e[i~'agment~tion can be tnitigated by maintaining or providing connecting corridors to allow exchange of biological resources. The fragmentation of habitat can be avoided through other public land access alternatives such as vessel moorings. The action, as proposed~ will result in the continued fragmentation ora Critical Environmental Area. If approved, the proposed action will result in the continued physical loss of the ecological sensitive area of Goose Creek.
