He said that the Conservation Commission and Shellfish Constable <br />had found that an accumulation of alleufial drift had resulted in water <br />t shallower than two years ago when first sounding were taken. The depth <br />is not now adequate for Mr. •$radshaci.'s boat. <br />Mr. Costa recommended extending the dock to 70 feet but Conservation <br />would not approve without a new application for::a Special Permit: He. <br />had no new environmental data but had reviewed plans with the Harbormaster <br />who had no;problem with navigability. <br />Lisa Hanscom, Conservation Offices;, said that the Conservation Commission <br />was concerned with the lack of shellfish studies and it was the Applicant's <br />decision to withdraw his petition:to the. Copse zyationtCommission. <br />Paul Somerville, Shellfish Constable, voiced opposition to the dock <br />due to expected damage to shellfish beds. He said that the placing of <br />pilings disrupts the beds and that ice damage to the pilings has been <br />common in the area. He proposed a minimum buffer distance of two feet <br />of water before any propeller disturbance could be felt. He presented <br />EL letter from Virginia Fay df the Division of Marine Fisheries stating <br />that information on the proposed dock was incomplete. <br />Clark Hill, an immediate abutter, spoke in opposition to the.size <br />of the dock.
