 property line. In addition, the Tudor 

 Wharf plan calls for an additional 

 setback on the Tudor Wharf side of 16 

 feet. 



In discussions with the owners of the 

 marina, consideration is being given to 

 the relocation of the main access channel 

 to the marina, should the Tudor Wharf 

 project include the " Massport parcel". 

 The inclusion of the parcel would suggest 

 that the entire complex be planned as a 

 single entity, and would allow an 

 expansion of the number of existing 

 marina slips. By locating the entrance 

 to the marina down a center aisle, a 

 shorter and more direct access to marina 

 slips would be possible, both for boat 

 owners walking out to their berths, and 

 for boats coming in and out of the 

 marina. This more efficient layout would 

 be possible only if the Massport parcel 

 is included in the proposed development. 



Currents at the Tudor Wharf site are 

 somewhat stronger than at Constitution 

 Marina, due to its proximity to the 

 Charles River Dam. The routine discharge 

 from the Dam generates a current in the 

 range of one to two knots at the Tudor 

 Wharf site. During wet weather 

 situations where the pumps are operating 

 at capacity, currents are estimated to be
