Conservation Commission <br /> May 1 , 1991 <br /> Page . <br /> Ms Behan reviewed the plan for water depths. Mr. Schulze stated he could only <br /> assume Little River Boatyard, when they came to build the dock, got out to. . . . , . <br /> (Ms Behrman asked that the record reflect Little River Boatyard did this dock). <br /> Atty. Schulz qualified his statement, he called New York and was referred to <br /> Kittle River Boat Yard as where the floats were stored and he could not attest <br /> they were responsible for the actual construction work. They do deploy them in <br /> the spring. <br /> Ms Behnnan expressed concerns with plans in the past that had allegations of <br /> water depths and then someone coring in- because the boats are bottoming out <br /> because they dme't have the alleged water depth. Mr. Schulze pointed out <br /> the structure was licensed by the previous owner, Walter Winchester. <br /> Mr, Coffey stated the present plan references 1-12 feet, the old plan refer- <br /> ences 2 feet andwe're getting anecdotal presentation that it is 6 inches. <br /> Peter Sullivan of Baxter & Nye advised they developed the plan and Mean Low <br /> Water as represented is close approximation. .

The number and size of <br /> the floats has been a source of comments by people coming in for new structures. <br /> He agreed to a request from the agent to do a resource assessment and stated he <br /> would like to know more about the boats and draft. <br /> Mr, Desrosiers stated the original request was for 72 square feet of floats and <br /> there is now before the commission 480 square feet, oo%, He would not vote for <br /> licensing anywhere near that size. <br /> Atty Schulze asked if it was preferable for the fixed structure to be extended <br /> out further and some of the floats el n ted? <br /> Mr. Homeyer stated the commi <br />
