Conservation commission . tine=. , .1991 Page 1 . EROSIERS: It all depends on the circumstances or th .situation. HOM=: DEP overruled us one time for denying it HAYES: I would ask the commission to approve based on the regulations and your task as a commission, but in your approval, tailor your order of conditions. Mr. west will be agreeable to an order of Conditions that he can work with and that the commission could work With. He's not bringing Jn a power boat here, he will bring in his own boat. if you want to designate that he can only y moor it or, the western side of the float, that's fine. If you want to designate that he can only have that boat there and not other boats cowling JM, that's fine. HOME M: Back up aminute, you said he is not bringing in a power boat? HAYES: No, I said he has a power moat, he is bringing in a power boat. HO1=: what is the size on it Norm, what is the draft? HAYES: It's a 23 foot. He was unsure of the draft.. . It was estimated to be 18 inches. SIMN : I think probably one of the thins e have been derelict i g n our fob is that e have let that sit there fere years without challenging the harborr as ter. H P YER: I believe Chet was challenged on this? No.) He was challenged on several I know. OFFEY: if the harbormaster has a separate jurisdiction over it, ConCom certain. is in the right position to have input into something that another board or official may care to reconsider given the evidence or circumstances. I think, from everything I've heard, that this is the wrong float in g g the wrong place as it stands now and to add a ramp to it ESSIERS: And bring it closer to shore by 10 feet into shallow water. ) only formalize a bad situation and I certai.nly can't go for that. By niaking access to it easier, by making use of it easier, g brie in it closer to bringingthe stairs and the shore, l think there is ample enough evidence that it isoin g g to move the damage and increase the use of the dock because of the ease of access. To me, that is formalizing a bad situation andg arantee�.n Chet it will have more adverse impact. HoM=: Norm, could the "ramp" be lenghtened to feet to keep it out at the depth it is at now and still be structually sound? HAYES: l think it could, yes, HOS: And still give 3.t the passage under for shellfishennen and whatever? HAYES: 'hat's right. H M=: Looking at that, if it were to take it back out to 1 feet, woad that get it out of the eel grass problem. E I SIERS: I dory t t think it would, it would bring it right into the center of e eel grass. � . HAYES: Actually, ?t,would bring .i t might here,.. nd e i t out o f the eel grass, P � s BEST SIERS-: Back to 9 inches of water. We just said we had a boat that tiedt up o the side of it with a draft of 22 inches. How can that boat not bottom out at low water?
