The application calls for twenty <br />district mooring area buoys being converted to twenty dock slip <br />storage spaces, all 10’ x 24*. Fifteen existing slips arc being <br />reconfigured with no increase in size (six are being reduced in <br />size). Ten,, s 1 ide storage spaces are proposed to be.i converted‘*to ^7,^ <br />#*r \ * • <br />*■ jj <br />'dock slips..tv <br />•V <br />.A <br />Thibault said a detailed review showed that the docks on'the • <br />northeast corner extend beyond the 100’^ distance from shore. The <br />setbacks on the west do not meet the Code requirement which, . <br />states that slips opening toward a side, site line be doubled or <br />^^?-at least equal to the slip depth, in this case 35’. The MYC'has i4*tv <br />a difference of opinion as to how the 100’ from the 929.4 , 7-, <br />shoreline is determined. y-\"‘r. <br />Tom McGoldrick, 19575 Chimo West, Deephaven, described his <br />property as east of the MYC property, adjacent to the Deephaven <br />public launch site. He said that area of Carsons Bay is heavily <br />trafficked because of the public launch, the MYC activities in <br />servicing Lighthouse Island, and regattas.McGoldrick said he <br />cannot see how this plan can do anything but make the traffic <br />problem worse. He said, in his opinion, the MYC has not been a <br />good neighbor. <br />McGoldrick believes the proposed change will give the area a <br />wharf-like appearance vs. the openness of the existing buoy <br />field. He does not feel that combining all of the MYC shoreline <br />in arriving at a density is logical. His main objection is the <br />congestion this change will bring to the area. In addition he <br />mentioned the aesthetic appearance, traffic flow,.in,.,tha area .and <br />ii <br />■T <br />‘ • f*-, <br />yryhiSti'. <br />t ^ <br />i'general management of the MYC property <br />McGoldrick pointed out that-he v.‘.has 300*^ or shoreline <br />could construct a 100 V dock to provide a ^safe/ swimnirri <br />he were to do that the traff ic lane from, thefl public ^'launch would^^
