    k. Description of Application: The licensee requests a variance be 
granted to Willard Companies (Willard) for the construction of four 
floating docks accommodating 17 boats and to maintain an existing boat 
ramp, all of which would serve a residential community, known as ``The 
Farms at Smith Mountain Lake'' (located in Franklin County near Rocky 
Mount, Virginia). The licensee is requesting the variance because the 
proposed action is not in conformance with the approved project 
Shoreline Management Plan

[[Page 75534]]

(SMP). The SMP does not allow for a boat ramp in conjunction with the 
allowable number of community docks at this site. Willard proposes to 
reduce the number of allowable boat docks from 48 to 17 along the 2,400 
linear feet of shoreline fronting the community and to maintain the 
existing boat ramp. In addition, Willard proposes to stabilize 1,500 
linear feet of shoreline with rip rap.
