April 19, 1990 , <br /> Page 10. <br /> shellfish warden and also a fulltime conservation agent and <br /> if hired by the town should obviously be objective . <br /> His last point is that he had a pier out in front of the <br /> house years ago with the boat coming in and out. It <br /> destroyed the quahogs. He dug quahogs out there since he was <br /> yrs. old . The rotor destroyed the shellfish . His father, <br /> who is 80 years old, has a boat on a mooring and he gets out <br /> to the boat by rowing. They could have a pier there , <br /> however, environmentally things have changed. There are a <br /> lot of houses, water skiiers, boaters and a lot of activity <br /> on that bay. In closing, he hoped what the commission <br /> decided would be correct for the bay. <br /> Mr. Bradshaw stated they own a Boston Whaler they are going <br /> to be putting in there. As far as protecting the <br /> environment, they are going to be taking a 15#1 ft, boat in <br /> and out in a direct path and they believe they are going t <br /> cause more damage taking the boat in and out, turning up and <br /> down coming in. If they had a plea in there , in one spot <br /> where they come in to that one spot 45 ft. out - every time it <br /> would be better. <br /> Ms Behrman asked if they would follow the same path every <br /> time's <br /> Mr. Bradshaw stated it would be right to the right of the <br /> marsh where there is a little path they wore out where. they <br /> o into the boat. <br /> Mr. Boyd stated with the positioning of the dock now, they <br /> will not be coning in over the clan flats . <br /> Mr. Burgmann stated by denying the the dock, it will not <br /> preclude the boat coming in and out from the front of the <br /> property, it will be brought into even shallower water. it <br /> will be causing more disruption and impact on the bottom by <br /> saying they can ' t have a fixed point to bring the boat t <br /> where they can access it easily and keep the boat so it is <br /> not going to have to be drawn up on the shore . The ability <br /> to tell thea that they cannot have a boat, that they cannot <br /> bring it ashore isn ' t a question before the board. <br /> Ms Behrman stated that is understood . <br /> Mr, Bradshaw stated in addation, one can shellfish underneath <br /> the pier because the pilings are spaced so far apart and <br /> there is no floating dock, just a deck, but you can go <br /> underneath it and he thinks the clamshells landing on top of <br /> the deck may get pushed off . <br /> I-As Behrman pointed out 3 . 5 above MLVI plus . 7 is 4 feet and <br /> one would have to have a very long rake to get under the <br /> middle of this . <br />
