Continued from 1/14, 2/25 for revised plans. NOI <br /> <br />Resource Area: Coastal Bank, Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage, Land Under Ocean, <br />Salt Marsh, Land Containing Shellfish (Little River) <br /> <br />Matt Costa, Cape and Islands Engineering, represented the applicants. The project consists of the <br />construction and licensing and maintenance of a new private residential pier, ramp and float system <br />with stairs. Also, the project includes the construction of a timber retaining wall located along the <br />bottom of the Coastal Bank above mean high water. The project includes the placement of 12 ten <br />inch vinyl coated piles, support timbers and decking that will connect to the stairs, ramp and float. <br />The pier is a 4’ wide by 48’ long elevated walkway, a 3’x16’ aluminum ramp and an 8’x20’ long <br />floating T- section. The construction of the retaining wall is a Navy style wall with 8” pilings and <br />wood sheathing held in place with galvanized rods and anchors. Mitigation plantings of native <br />grasses will be planted on top of the completed wall to stabilize the area. All work will be done <br />from a barge on the seaward side or by hand and all work on the retaining wall will be done by <br />hand. <br /> <br />Mr. Costa said he reviewed this proposal with Rick York, Shellfish Constable, and he doesn’t have <br />any concerns in regard to shellfish. <br /> <br />Mr. Costa said the acting Harbormaster, did not want to comment on the project and wants us to <br />wait until the town hires a new Harbormaster. He said he is obligated to his client to keep the <br />project moving and didn’t feel the project should be held up. Mr. Costa provided an overlay plan <br />to show how it relates to other portions of the river. He reviewed the overlay plan with the <br />Commissioners which showed dimensions from the end of the dock to the adjacent dock across <br />the river. He also showed the dimensions from the docked boat indicating there was more than <br />enough room for navigation purposes. He said they will be going through the Chapter 91 process <br />and there will be plenty of time for the Harbormaster to comment. He said they meet the <br />performance standards and requested the Commissioners issue an Order of Condition. <br /> <br />3
