Advice reconfiguring Ninjago City Docks?

[Fenghuang0296]

Essentially; since I don't have the Ninjago City, just the Ninjago City Docks, I think that the best way to integrate this set into my city as a complete thing is to take the left-most third of it - Mystake's tea shop, the mapmaker's and the cove with the boat - and put it on the other side of the rest of the buildings. That way, the tea shop and the arcade will be adjacent to each other, and the sections of upper walkway attached to each will like up and create a complete balcony that does not abruptly end. 

Unfortunately, the tea shop, when attached to the stairs, is a 14-stud-wide build. And the only way to split the Docks is into one 32x32 - the arcade, market, and actual dock - and one 16x32. My city plan, however, does call for the 32x32 Docks module to be in the very corner, so if I split the build into a 14-wide and a 34-wide, it would be simple enough to just have two studs hanging over the edge. 

Alternatively, I could rotate the entire central building 90 degrees and create a single walkway leading between the market and the arcade. However that would also hang out 2 studs either onto the waterway behind the main dock, or on the baseplate behind it. There is room, there won't be another structure occupying that area. 

In both cases, I will engineer a different building to replace the apartment on the top, and install a trapdoor/ladder so that it can be accessed from inside the market building, and then use the apartment as an entirely separate structure in a nearby area of my layout. 

I'm not sure what the best result would be, so please advise?
