EXHIBIT C <br />AQUATIC PARK <br />The Aquatic Park emphasizes non - motorized boating uses, including kayaks and canoes in a <br />natural setting should the harbor basin no longer be able to accommodate motorized boating uses <br />due to the siltation of the basin (as no on -going dredging would occur). In time, all of the <br />existing slips and most pilings would be removed. In their place, the basin would be reclaimed <br />into a series of wildlife islands, marsh areas, and other vegetative features. The western, <br />northern, and eastern rip -rap shoreline of the basin could be backfilled to create a natural <br />shoreline appearance and a vegetation transition from upland to wetland habitats. A water trail <br />would be set up around the islands to provide recreational opportunities for hotel patrons and <br />harbor visitors. Remaining pilings would serve as interpretive markers for the water trail. The <br />perimeter trail would be designed as a pedestrian promenade and a publicly accessible beach and <br />viewing area would be created in the northwestern corner of the harbor. Several pedestrian <br />boardwalks could extend over the water from the shore, providing vistas across the water. <br />A boating school/ rental facility with a day -use dock could be constructed at the southern edge of <br />the basin, with space for approximately 40 non - motorized small boats and boat storage (this is <br />assumed to be undertaken by the landside developer). Overnight docking would be permitted on <br />a fee basis for those using the Bay Water Trail and wishing to spend the evening at one of the <br />hotels. The existing boat launch, just southeast of the basin, would remain in place. <br />Although some initial dredging would be necessary to establish the Aquatic Park, the basin <br />would be entirely self- sustaining with no maintenance dredging required on an on- going, long- <br />term basis. In the event that less fill or funding is available to create the proposed wildlife <br />islands, a reduced amount of fill could be used to create smaller islands, with additional fill <br />provided naturally over time through natural sedimentation. <br />Pedestn!an Boardwalk IVj sta Point <br />.3mmuG MMM raaw Mw IbT4'. <br />Marsh <br />Marsh IWWI& Refucia <br />+„ <br />Shoreline Caller Habitat <br />Pedestrian Boardwalk I Vista Point <br />Lagoon KayaldCanoo/Paddle Rentals A.:.""11E) <br />and Day f Ovarnk3H Use Dock ­"6 ' <br />acae es.: r <br />17 <br />s.•i, rr: ;;:; � �;.�.,. a ..; .,,,.R, <br />Figure 2-3 <br />Aquatic Park Ahetnative <br />n.Y <br />+„ <br />Shoreline Caller Habitat <br />Pedestrian Boardwalk I Vista Point <br />Lagoon KayaldCanoo/Paddle Rentals A.:.""11E) <br />and Day f Ovarnk3H Use Dock ­"6 ' <br />acae es.: r <br />17 <br />s.•i, rr: ;;:; � �;.�.,. a ..; .,,,.R, <br />Figure 2-3 <br />Aquatic Park Ahetnative <br />
