At low tide there would be one foot of grater under the float. It will entail placement of five additlonalpiles; three are existing, three will be removed. Mr. Sullivan advised he went back at low tide, took additional soundings, and has revised the plan. Confirmed numbers were within 1/10 of a foot, approx tel.y one inch. The bottom condition is firm mud. Mr. Schul.z used an overlay to show what is testing and proposed. Additions were installed in 1985 without permitting. The dock is longer and is at an angle to meat ACOS guidelines. When asked, he was unsure whether Little River Boat Yard put floats in but thought so.

A jet would have to be used to remove the old piles. Mrs. Simmons stated all of the Moats are not necessary for one Whaler. she did not feel the client was at fault and asked for the name of the company that put the pilings in. Mr. Schulz agreed to supply this information. Comments from the Shellfish Warden were read into the record. He felt the structure would be acceptable and preferable to the existing, with the condition that all boats be made to use the offshore side of the Moat and no vessel permitted to tie up along the sides or back of the float nor to use the sides of the ramp or fixed portion of the pier. other standard dock conditions should be placed on the construction. Atty. Schulz agreed to these recommendations.
