The properties are four (4) parcels of land, a total of 23.25 acres, located on State Road 626/Smith Mountain Road and Locus Lane, in the Callands-Gretna Election District and shown on the Tap Map as GPIN # 1563-52-1714, 1563-53-1917, 1563-53-1623 and 1563-53-1223. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The Dock at SML, LLC, is requesting a Special Use Permit to operate a marina and boat storage area on a total of 23.25 acres, located State Road 626/Smith Mountain Road and Locus Lane, in the Callands-Gretna Election District. A marina has been in operation on the property since before the Pittsylvania County Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1991, making the use legal non-conforming. The applicant submitted a proposal to Community Development requesting to add additional boat slips and a dry storage area. Due to the non-conforming status, the applicant’s proposal was denied. According to Pittsylvania County Code § 35-164, non- conforming uses cannot be expanded or enlarged unless they can be brought into compliance. The Dock at SML, LLC is requesting a Special Use Permit for a marina to bring the property into compliance in accordance with Pittsylvania County Code § 35-295, allowing the marina to be expanded and dry boat storage to be added. If the Special Use Permit is denied, the marina will still be allowed to continue as a legal non- conforming use; however, they will not be allowed to modify the current boat slips or add additional storage areas.

The Smith Mountain Pumped Storage Project includes reservoirs of Smith Mountain Lake and Leesville Lake, under issuance by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). AEP has a Shoreline Management Plan in place since August 2003, which requires property owners obtain an Occupancy & Use Permit, prior to construction, modification, and/or expansion of any structure located within the 800-ft elevation contour at Smith Mountain Lake. Permitting is required for structures located along the shoreline of Smith Mountain Lake and adjacent to the following parcels: • Parcel ID: 1563-52-2941 – Smith Mountain Lake Dock & Lodge Lot 1 • Parcel ID: 1563-52-5816 – Smith Mountain Lake Dock & Lodge Lot C • Parcel ID: 1563-53-1260 – Smith Mountain Lake Dock & Lodge Lot A • Parcel ID: 1563-53-3617 – Smith Mountain Lake Dock & Lodge Subdivided Revised Lot 2 • Parcel ID: 1563-53-4051 – Smith Mountain Lake Dock & Lodge Lot B • Parcel ID: 1563-63-0309 – A R Lumpkin Subdivision Lot 3 The parcels included in the site for permitting contains approximately 27.6 acres. The site currently features 2 structures located along the adjacent shoreline below the 795-ft elevation contour at Smith Mountain Lake. The site also includes three structures located on Smith Mountain Pumped Storage Project lands. See attached site map for structure delineation.

SECTION 3: SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS Many of the structures and improvements associated with this site existed prior to the implementation of the Shoreline Management Plan in August of 2003. Per Status of Properties report, completed by AEP, all structures and improvements documented under the ENCS documentation are considered to be non-conforming, but eligible for permitting under the Legacy Program. The Legacy Program is outlined in Section 2.6, Documentation Program, of the Shoreline Management Plan (August 2003). Appalachian Power’s inspection of June 11, 2019, found the site eligible for the Legacy Program, and no substantial modifications have occurred since the submittal of the ENCS documentation: • Structure A • Structure B • Structure C (modified since August 2003 – Verify catwalks have been removed.) • Structure E (modified since August 2003 – Not expanded.) • Structure G • Structure G.1 • Structure I-1 • Structure K, L, M, N, O • Structure P • Structure Q (Documentation required) • Structure R • Structure S Appalachian Power’s inspection also determined that significant modifications have been made within the Smith Mountain Pumped Storage Project boundary since the submittal of the ENCS documentation in February of 2006, without the benefit of a permit from Appalachian Power. Several undocumented structures must be removed from the project boundary including: • Structure E.1 (Verify undocumented 14’x12’ storage building and dumpster has been removed). SUP APPENDIX A - PAGE 7 7.8.b Packet Pg. 130 Attachment: S-21-003 Dock at SML App (2432 : Case S-21-003 The Dock at SML, LLC) • Structure H (Verify undocumented enclosed building/boat rental office has been removed). • Structure K & L (Verify floating dock between the two piers have been removed). • Structure Q (Verify undocumented uncovered stationary decking with boat slips have been removed). Appalachian Power has considered a single, unified Occupancy & Use Permit application for all of the structures associated with the Smith Mountain Lake Dock & Lodge site. Upon issuance, the permit would govern all structures within the Smith Mountain Pumped Storage project boundary associated with the Smith Mountain Lake Dock & Lodge site; establishing a master plan for all dock structures. Future requests for modifications would come in the form of an amendment to the master plan, permitting the requested modification(s) and re-permitting all other as-built structures. The following structures may be permitted in their existing condition, as they were the subject of the 2007 application for Occupancy & Use Permit (which was approved by AEP, but not executed by the property owner at the time): • Structure D • Structure I Need to verify that the following structures have been modified and qualify for permitting: • Structure F – modified to remove stationary catwalk and floating walkway connecting to Structure E • Structure L – modified to remove covered boat slip with curved metal roof and uncovered floating structures, so that only the covered enclosed boat house remains • Structure S* – modified to meet the Shoreline Management Plan requirements for Low Density Commercial facilities, as outlined in Section 2.4.4, Low Density Use Regulations, Low Density Commercial. *Note: Structure S is associated with Parcel ID: 1563-63-0309, which is not contiguous with the remainder of The Dock at SML site and are considered for a separate application for permitting by AEP.
