Building Commissioner, Michael Mendoza was also present. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE NEW HEARINGS 388 Mashpee Neck Road: Town of Mashpee requests a Special Permit under §174-25 1 (9) of the Zoning Bylaws to replace the dock, pier, ramp and float at (Edward A. Baker Boat Ramp at Pirates Cove) located in an R3 Zoning District, (Map 96 Parcel 1), Mashpee, MA. Catherine Laurent, DPW Director represented the Town requesting a Special Permit to replace the wooden dock system at the Pirates Cove Boat Launch. She supplied the Board a photo of what currently exists, and a plot plan that depicts the new construction and decking materials that will be used to upgrade the dock and float. She said that the dock will not be extending any further into the water than what currently exists. They will be extending the dock landward, and also installing a small ramp from the landing platform to make the facility more accessible. An Order of Conditions was issued by the Conservation Commission, and there is a Chapter 91 License in place which does not require any amendments because there are no major dimensional changes. She said there will be dingy racks constructed to facilitate the dinghies and remove them off the beach area. The Board had a discussion that it would be nice to receive comments from the Harbormaster and Shellfish Warden for these types of applications because it's a Town requirement under the Bylaw. Mr. Bob Courtemanche, who is a resident at 386 Mashpee Neck Road approached the Board and is in favor of the new boat ramp but is concerned with the erosion that is happening to the left of the steps of the beach area. He was glad to hear that there will be racks constructed for the dinghies to control the erosion problem. Mr. Bonvie made a motion to approve the special permit request. Mr. Blaisdell seconded. All were in favor of the proposal to construct a new boat and ramp complex. 1
