house will be elevated on a crawl space slab and be above grade on one side and the foundation will have flood openings as required by FEMA. The new septic system will be on the landward side of the house. The two car garage will be at the north end of the house and the driveway will exit on Mashpee Neck Road and will be crushed stone or shells. Mr. Bunker reviewed the plans with the commissioners. He noted Board of Health approved the septic application. The Agent asked about pians for the existing driveway where the trees will be removed. He asked that a vegetation plan be submitted to show what will go into that area. The area is in the flood zone so he recommended native vegetation. He noted the septic setback is much better than the current situation and likes the impervious driveway because right across the street is a major storm water swale so we don't need any more contributing runoff there. No comments from the public Motion: Mr. Shaw moved to Close and Issue, seconded by Mr. Rogers. Vote unanimous 5-0 6:15 Jeffrey L. Shames, 21 Bowsprit Point.

The float will not extend beyond 25% of the waterway width. There will be minor disturbance to the resource areas and will not harm the salt marsh or the waterway bottom. Mr. Ryther reviewed the plan with the commissioners. The Agent stated the shellfish constable expressed concern over the size of the float. He questioned why the need for such a large float. Mr. Ryther said it is not uncommon and it is very deep there. The harbormaster approved the project with the following comments. No foam used for flotation, encapsulated plastic only, street address shall be placed in a location clearly visible from the water using 3' block lettering and placed on a contrasting background, and a beam restriction of 12 feet for vessels moored at the dock.
