      1. Limitations for the amount of space for the fuel station has been limited to a smaller space. I no longer have to lay out the entire dock, but only the end of it. The space is now 125 feet in width and projects at a minimum of 50 feet into the water and a maximum of 100 feet. The only thing is that there is a chunk of the 125' by 50' space that I cannot work with due to the location of the ferry slip. The ferry slip deletes a triangular space with a 50 ft height and an 85' base.

        An added specification is that there must be a fuel house located at the end of the dock with enough space for a bathroom.
