6:03-Kathleen A. Impey, 90 Captains Row. Proposed replacement of existing retaining wall within same footprint and construction of new pier, ramp and float. NOI Resource Area: Land Under Water, Coastal Beach, Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage, Coastal Bank, Coastal Beach, Land Under Ocean Matt Costa, Cape and Islands Engineering, represented the applicant. He said the applicant previously received all their required approvals to install their dock but realized their order of conditions expired. They filed the same exact plans. The site hasn't changed and there are no changes since the last approval. It has a Chapter 91 license. There have been no additional comments from the Shellfish Constable or Harbormaster: The proposed project involves the construction of a new dock consisting of a pier, ramp and float that will extend below mean high water into Popponesset Bay. Also proposed is a concrete block wall within the existing footprint with a fieldstone wall. The construction of the dock will include fourteen 10-inch diameter piles, two 6° by 6" posts, support timbers, decking and railings. The dock will consist of an elevated walkway with a 16' long ramp and a 6' by 26' float. A mitigation plan has been submitted. Mr. Costa respectfully requested the previous order of conditions be re-issued. The Agent noted Rick York Shellfish Constable was OK with the design and the Harbormaster said there were no navigational concerns. There was a discussion on the letter from the Division of Marine Fisheries and their recommendations. Mr. Costa said their proposal meets the performance standards. The Agent noted the letter contained recommendations forthe commissioners to review. One recommendation was to increase the spacing of the fixed pier planks for sunlight, but there is no salt marsh there. The spacing proposed should be adequate for aquatic vegetation and meets the design standards. No comment from the public Motion: Mr. McKay moved to Close and Issue, seconded by Mr. Shaw, Vote unanimous 4-0 6:06-43 Waterline LLC, 43 Waterline South Drive. Proposed demolition/replacement of single-family home along with construction of pool, patio and septic system upgrade. Plans also call for reorientation of walkway to pier. Due to failure by the Mashpee Enterprise to publish notice properly, rescheduled from 4114/2096. -NOI Resource Area: Salt Marsh, Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage, Andrew Garulay, Yarmouth Port Design Group and BSS Design, represented the applicant. He explained the existing house is to be razed and replaced. The house will be moved back from the resource area and a swimming pool and patio will be located out of the flood zone. The septic system will be replaced with a new system. Trees will be removed for the septic system and a retaining wall will be installed. There is not much natural vegetation, so they are proposing to fill the areas around the house with native plantings. The existing licensed pier will have to be realigned which will not have a big impact. They will also add some native plantings along the buffer zone. Mr. Costa noted, down the road, they will be submitting another application for vista views. There was a discussion on the work limit and whether or not a 4 foot limit was sufficient. The Agent recommended a condition to hire a consultant and have them submit a weekly report to the Conservation Department. He also noted on the existing condition plan from BSS, that shows existing setback lines but on the proposed plan,
