If an applicant wants a docking structure having dimensions greater than those specified in Env-Wt 513.11(a), the applicant shall provide information demonstrating that one or more of the following is true:
- (a) Conforming to the specified size would represent a safety hazard due to wind or other typical weather conditions;
- (b) The property has a unique physical characteristic that requires a greater length that is not shared generally by nearby properties, such as insufficient water depth;
- (c) If the application is for a public docking structure, the number of people or volume of cargo, or both, that is anticipated for the docking structure necessitates larger dimensions; or
- (d) Clustering or merging the docking structures in one location would result in less environmental impact to the shoreline and water body than would standard dimensions and installation.
