How was the draft Shoreline Management Plan developed?
The steering committee assisted with the development of a scoping document for the development of the plan. A consultant was selected and various resource studies and data collection efforts were undertaken to obtain current information for the development of the SMP. Information was collected on the existing land use within the project boundary, existing shoreline conditions, ecological resources, cultural resources, public and private recreational facilities, county regulations, and recreational boat use density. This information was utilized by the steering committee to develop various types of shoreline classifications, their parameters and the threshold regulations.
