noted on a photo what the rack will look like. There was a brief discussion on bathroom facilities and it was noted this wasn't within the commission's jurisdiction. The Agent stated the Harbormaster and the Shellfish Constable are pleased with what is being proposed. It will increase their access and relieve congestion while accommodating passive boating access as well. No comments from the public Motion: Mr. McKay moved to approve the amendment to the Order of Conditions as discussed, seconded by Mr. Rogers. Vote 4-0 6.15 Paul S. and Margaret K. Hovseplan, 13 Compass Circle. Proposed reconstruction of licensed float. NO] Resource Area: BSS, Land Under Ocean, LSCSP, BVW, Salt Marsh Jeff Rhyther, BSS Design, represented the applicant.

The reconstruction involves the removal of the upper pier structure and rebuilding the wood pier in the same footprint of the previously licensed structure. The grating will be an open design to allow for light penetration.
