(d)        Special public access provisions by parcel

The provisions of Sections 62-52 (Applicability of Waterfront Public Access Area Requirements) and 62-60 (DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR WATERFRONT PUBLIC ACCESS AREAS) are modified at the following designated locations which are shown on Map BK-1b in paragraph (f) of this Section:

(1)        Parcels 1 and 2

(i)        Shore public walkway

In the event of any enlargement, extension or change of use within existing buildings or other structures, a shore public walkway shall occupy the entire area between the seaward edge of the zoning lot and the existing building or other structure but need not be wider than 40 feet. The shore public walkway shall have a minimum clear path of 10 feet. No seating or planting shall be required. If seating and planting are provided, they shall comply with the provisions of Sections 62-652 and 62-655, respectively. In addition to the lighting design requirements of paragraph (c)(3) of this Section, lighting fixtures may be mounted on existing buildings or other structures.

(ii)        Supplemental public access area

The requirements for a supplemental public access area shall be waived.

(2)        Parcels 3 and 4

An upland connection shall be provided between Commercial Street and the shore public walkway within a flexible location along the lot line between Parcels 3 and 4. Whichever parcel is developed first shall provide an upland connection along the lot line between the two parcels. The remaining parcel may include the width of the upland connection in the computation necessary to comply with the requirements of a visual corridor along the lot line between the two parcels, according to the provisions of paragraph (e)(1) of this Section. If both parcels are developed concurrently, then the requirements may be divided equally along the lot line between the parcels.

If, however, Parcel 4 is improved predominantly as a public access area prior to or concurrently with the development of Parcel 3, the upland connection requirement shall be waived. However, a public way shall be provided within an area bounded at its eastern edge by the shared lot line of Parcels 2 and 3, at its northern edge by the shoreline, at its western edge by a line 115 feet from the shared lot line of Parcels 2 and 3, and at its southern edge by the lot line along Commercial Street.

In addition, such public way shall have a minimum width of 15 feet, and shall comply with the provisions of Section 62-64 (Design Requirements for Upland Connections), as applicable for Type 2 upland connections.

At least 50 percent of the area of any walls bounding such public way shall be glazed. In addition, 24 linear feet of seating shall be provided within such public way and within 50 feet of its boundary with the shore public walkway and the street it connects to.

The upland connection may cut across the supplemental public access area provided that any resulting supplemental public access area shall be at least 5,000 square feet. In no event shall the supplemental public access area be deeper than 100 feet.

Alternatively, a portion of the required supplemental public access area that is at least 5,000 square feet may abut the shore public walkway continuously along the longest side provided that it also abuts a publicly accessible private drive connecting the shore public walkway to Commercial Street. Such publicly accessible private drive shall be improved to the standards of an upland connection as required by Section 62-64, but shall not be counted towards satisfying the required amount of waterfront public access area on the site.

If any supplemental public access area is located on the pier, one shade tree shall be required for each 1,000 square feet of supplemental public access area, but in no event shall more than four shade trees be required. A shading element may be substituted for the required shade trees at a rate of 450 square feet of shade element per tree.

(ii)        Supplemental public access area

Two supplemental public access areas shall be provided. A supplemental public access area with a minimum of 9,000 square feet shall be provided between the prolongation of the northern street line of Calyer Street and the prolongation of the northern boundary of the required Calyer Street upland connection to widen the shore public walkway.

The remaining requirements for supplemental public access area shall be located in the area bounded by the southern boundary of the required Calyer Street upland connection, the shore public walkway and the southern boundary line of the parcel.

A minimum of one linear foot of seating shall be required for every 65 square feet of supplemental public access area. Four trees shall be required, at least two of which shall be shade trees.

The remaining required supplemental public access area shall be located either on the pier or shall abut the shore public walkway continuously along its longest side, and shall also abut the required upland connection where it meets the shore public walkway. At least 70 percent of the required supplemental public access area shall have a width to depth ratio of 2:1. If any supplemental public access area is located on the pier, one shade tree shall be required for each 1,000 square feet of supplemental public access area, but in no event shall more than four shade trees be required.
