A moorage reali;;r,f',;ent study consist ent with the Port of Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan was c(\f,òucled in J 984, òurjr.g which the (;O!)cept of the linear moorge evolved. The plan calls for an improved public fuel float ë.nd transit dock. The request is consistent with that concept. The proposed development is located in a M-1 zone of the City of Port Townsend. }'Jarincs are permitted uses in this zone. The proposed development requires a relocation of a federal channel. This relocation would require D,S. Army Corps of Engineers approval. If the channel is reiocated and the proposeò GeveJopment occur-so the apparent and actuai boat maneuvering space avajlabie parajlel to the breakwater would be reòuced from êbout 145 feet to 90 feet. The reduction of the cordåor wjdtr. and introduction of moored boats along the breakwater wauid require extra care and caution by boaters. The Port of Port Tovmsend Comprehensive Plan calls for additiona: expansion beyond the scope of tDe current praposaJ at some point in the future, Future development wouid be subject to relevant review and approval. 7, 9, 10.
