Abutters receipts were presented. A docking facility is proposed with access f roar ,the swimming pool area with a set of landscape timber steps to a pier then to a ramp leading to a float. They have been before the Board of Appeals and have been granted a special permit.. John advised no comments were received 'from the shellfish officer but he d i d gale comments at the Board of Appeals hearing . T'h i s is in the area where an ear then bridge with a culvert was constructed creating problems with erosion. Dave Ryan agrees there is not commercially abundant shellfish population in the area . John questioned the provisions for continued maintenance on the 4 x 4 posts . Mr. Borgmann Mated at this point they have not received a request to do any- thing ny- thin but his recommendation to the client would be to install a small bubbler. � John stated h i s- concern is after a winter such as this , what would be neces sa ry to guarantee no ice upheaval , even with a bubbler, and the .appl i cant would be back for permission to drive -them back down or replace some. Mr. Burgmann stated the order of conditions could address this by requiring a penetration of 1- 2o feet on the piles . It was noted the depth at the end of the dock is 2. , mean high water. Ms. B h rman expressed concern with the float sitting on the bottom and boats going in and out. Mr. Burgmann stated an alternative would be to put it further out s. into the bay. A longer dock would provide a more usable faci 1 i ty for the client. John stated there is a very substantial fringe marsh and the dock further out would lessen the likelihood of propash. Mrs . Jacobson stated a dock 110 feet long to get out to. one foot of water i net practical . John questioned whether the c l lent wou1d be amenable to construct a raised walkway rather than steps in order to maintain the root structure on the bank. Mr. Burgmann stated teris would make it more precipitous to get down to the level of the dock and did not feel his client would be adverse to the suggestion , but from en aesthetic point of view the steps would lessen the impact. He stated he did not envision clearing on the side of the steps . Ms Behrr an requested a vegetation plan ' be submitted with shrubs rather than low planting . Mr. Burgmann agreed.

Bob Burgmann Mated he spoke with the building inspector re the boathouse and his interpretation of the bylaws was that if the boathouse is moved outside of its present footprint that would constitute a new structure and would have to be 50 feet from the wetland. Dr . Allen stated he would prefer to Deep it in its present location. He also indicated he would use the 5tructure for storage of a trail erect boat, but this would not be the launching site. The only other boats
