restroom facility at the site of the existing wetslips and at an 
adjacent cleared area currently used as a parking lot; (4) construct, 
adjacent to the existing boat ramp, a new administrative building to 
include a boat showroom, offices for marina staff, and modern public 
restrooms; (5) replace the existing boat service building with a new 
parts and service center and two small stack storage buildings; (6) 
construct near the stack storage buildings a new, year-round boat 
launching facility with a poured concrete seawall, and a transient 
docking area providing a 2,000-gallon marine sanitary pump-out 
facility; (7) construct on the north-eastern portion of the site a 
year-around, full-service restaurant with 24 adjacent wetslips for the
