Motion: Mr. Anderson moved a Negative Determination, seconded by Mr. Rogers. <br /> Vote unanimous 5-0 <br /> 6:18 Patrick J. and Nissa R. Knight, 39 Little Neck Lane. Proposed creation of vista <br /> pruning corridor and construction of an elevated stairway, pier, ramp and float <br /> structure NOI <br /> Resource Area: Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage, Coastal Bank, Bordering <br /> Vegetated Wetland, Salt Marsh and Land Under Ocean, Ockway Bay <br /> Matt Costa, Cape and Island Engineering, explained the project is the removal of two trees <br /> on the coastal bank to allow for the construction and maintenance of a pier, ramp, pile and <br /> float system, elevated stairway and posts that will lead to the new pier structure and a 40' <br /> wide vista corridor. He said they situated the pier to meet the 25' required setback lines as <br /> required by Chapter 91 and Army Corps. He identified the lines on the plan and reviewed <br /> the proposed mitigation plantings. He reviewed the project with the Harbormaster and <br /> Shellfish Warden and they don't have any issues with the project. They have a typical timber <br /> constructed pier and aluminum ramp and traditional encapsulated floats. The appropriate <br /> signage requirements will be on the pier and identified on the plan. He said the vista pruning <br /> involves mostly minor pruning of branches. He noted it is a heavily treed lot and didn't <br /> originally propose mitigation but did come up with a good solution for mitigation to <br /> compensate for the proposed removal of two trees on the coastal bank. He said the project <br /> meets the performance standards and requested the commissioners issue an order of <br /> conditions. <br /> The Agent felt what was discussed regarding plantings like bearberry and arrow wood should <br /> alleviate any concerns about erosion on the bank once it is covered to accommodate the <br /> stairway to the dock. The Harbormaster and the Shellfish Warden don't have any issues and <br /> no comments. The vista pruning in this area is minor there are no saplings. <br /> There was a discussion on the positioning of the stairway and the removal of the trees. Mr. <br /> Costa said this is a project that would better the area. They are going to leave the root <br /> system from the trees in the bank to additionally stabilize that area. They will be careful with <br /> the plantings and the proper matting will be used which will really help to stabilize bank. <br /> No comments from the public <br /> Motion: Mr. Anderson moved to Close and Issue, seconded by Mr. McKay. Vote <br /> unanimous 5-0 <br /> 6:21 Garrison Development LLC, 17 Alma Road. Proposed construction of single- <br /> family dwelling and garage. NOI <br /> Resource Area: Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage, Coastal Bank, buffer zone to <br /> freshwater wetland and isolated wetland <br /> Tom Bunker, BSS Design, represented the applicant. He noted the proposed project is on <br /> an undeveloped lot. The proposal is to construct a single family four bedroom house and to <br /> install a Title V septic system. The house will be located as far away from the wetland <br /> resource areas as possible on the high portion of the lot out of the flood zone. He said the <br /> Board of Health requires a denitrification unit if the proposed soil absorption system cannot <br /> maintain 150' to the coastal bank. The leaching field will be 121 feet from the wetland. He <br /> said it meets the performance standards. The Agent explained there were three different <br /> types of wetlands, isolated land subject to flooding, freshwater wetland, buffer zone at Hook <br />
