Service dock
location & history

dock location

The service dock must be adjacent to the service area, since fuel, waste, generators, deliveries, and daily logistics require flat, stable, accessible land.
The dock location is determined by the only area that can safely and realistically support full service operations.

Red Zone (South):

  • Not connected by stable land; access via a light bridge unsuitable for trucks or fuel delivery

  • Adjacent to primary beaches

  • Cannot support infrastructure or heavy service traffic

Purple Zone (Resort/Central):

  • Conflicts with luxury guest experience

  • Hilly terrain (20–30 ft elevations) requiring major land alteration

  • Not suitable for operational infrastructure

Blue Zone (Northeast):

  • Rugged, steep terrain (50–60 ft elevations)

  • Unsafe and impractical for fuel, generators, and service logistics

Green Zone (North Flat Area):

  • 8–10 acres of mostly flat land

  • Naturally buffered

  • The only safe, functional, and responsible location for the service area, and therefore the dock

PROJECT REFINEMENTS IN RESPONSE TO STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK

Throughout the planning process, Yntegra has made several refinements to the site plan in response to concerns raised by neighboring stakeholders. Three proposals were evaluated, each reflecting adjustments to marine alignment, dredging footprint, dock placement, and seawall design.

  Proposal 1:

  • Distance from Turtlegrass: ~500'

  • Dredge Area: 0.55 acres

  • Seawall Size: 110'

  • Service Dock Size: 130'

  • Floating Dock Size: 60'

  Proposal 2:

  • Distance from Turtlegrass: ~1200'

  • Dredge Area: 1.4 acres

  • Seawall Size: 390'

  • Service Dock Size: 183'

  • Floating Dock Size: 110'

  Proposal 3 - Current proposal:

  • Distance from Turtlegrass: ~1200'

  • Dredge Area: 1.26 acres

  • Seawall Size: 206'

  • Service Dock Size: 130'

  • Floating Dock Size: 60'

Key refinements in the current
proposal include:

  • Increased dock distance from Turtlegrass by 140%

  • Reduced the seawall size by 47%

  • Reduced dredge volume by 20%

  • Reduced floating dock by 45%

  • Reduced service dock by 29%

  • Increased built area by 3.22%

  • Reduced dredge area by 11%

These refinements demonstrate a willingness to adapt the design while maintaining operational viability and environmental responsibility.
