Anne Simpson (Renton), speaking on behalf of the Renton Shoreline Coalition, remarked that the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) requires docks to be the minimum size necessary to accomplish their intended purpose. She stated that Renton's Shoreline Master Program (SMP) is more restrictive than the WAC, and the Army Corps of Engineers' permitting process is more flexible than the City's process.
