Construction was started on the buildings which comp rised the projects approved by Minor Permit No. CZT 53-041.. including excavation Ibr the 12O-Generator building at issue here. 3. That work has been halted in order to revise the plan for that building to reduce its size and improve its efficiency as the mechanical room structure for the uses on the island. 4. Accordingly. the lbotprint of the building covered by this application is smaller and has been relocated in a way which is more favora ble to the environment in that is it rull covered, calls ror less excavation that the previous building. and is less visible. and much more fimetional than the original approved building. 5. While the overall amount of construction has been reduced. the fundamental design and composition of the stnicturc is simila r to that which was previously submitted and approved. i.e. concrete and block . Illimpact to the Environment I. The Applicant is filing an environmental assessment report with this Application entitled "Little St. James Island Environmental Base Line Study" which evaluates existing conditions for the entire island or Little St James. 2. This filing or this document is consistent with the understanding reached with CZM stall' this June that the applicant submit such a study so that these applications for a minor permit as a tool for viewin g such an application in the context of the overall environment of the island. 3. The Base Line Study discusses the current conditions of the area covered by (his application as well as the balance of the island. 4. Also enclosed is Addendum #1 to the Base Line Study entitled "little St. James Island Mechanical Building Addendum" which gives a summary of how the changed location and size at' this building will or will not impact existing conditions as described in the Base Line Study. 5. In summary, the Addendum shows that within the area or the proposed construction and on the island as a whole, conditions will be improved in that the new building will he built in an area where there is currently virtually no vegetation which will be covered with earth, planted with vegetation and irrigated, all of which will improve the owner's ability to protect the soils and vegetation on the island there and elsewhere. 6. This Application, ilgranted. will. Ihen:thre, have a substantial, positive impact on the existing environment. EFTA01222332 GRANT OF AUTHORIZATION The Undersigned, Jeffrey E.
