i y i i Mashpee Conservation Commission Meeting of duly 169 1987 Page 5. Darcy- abarsky hearing - Continued, Mr. Anderson speaking: they so approv' e this project with the stipulation that, in this case, Mr. Darcy would not be allowed to construct a pier of this own if Mr, Zabarsky alone were willing or able to do so. The crossing of those two lots is contingent upon the joint venture, This is greatly encouraged by the State. M . Rosenberg stated he is in favor of joint projects but even with the extension, the walkway will start -10 feet from the outlet o "12 inch drain pipe. A ditch is shown which is 2-1 to 3 feet deep. Mr, Anderson stated a slope is indicated but no stone or cinders are shown. It is simply a depression. He did not foresee people stepping into a hole 2-112 feet deep to got onto the pier. Mrs. Marsters suggested bringing the walkway back to the lot lire so that the ditch is under the walkway. The Commission- agreed the project should be pushed, back to the property line another 40 feet for 196 feet total . Mr. Darcy,, also present for the hearing, stated the pipe is from the sewer in the street and is for surface overflow, In a heavy storm it could conceivably fill up if water could not get out fast enough and would spill towards the river out o the pipe which is usually dry, He stated he does not ever remember it being wet. Mrs, Marsters asked if he had a problem with extending the dock up to the landward edge of the pipe. Mr. Darcy stated he did not think so unless an engineering prob- lem, however, he.granted to make the point that every time it rains water does not o out that pipe. MS Behrman stated in storm events, the ground gets saturated around there as the configuration would tend to produce a situation of potential erosion. The Chairman requested comments from the audience. Mrs. Ruth Zuckerman, an abutter, advised they had proposed a shared dock with the Depi t o family, also abutters. They declined and constructed their own dock. The two families have five boats belong to these two docks. She stated it is unknown how many boats will be involved with this project as there is -no limitation* Motor boats churn up the small amount of water there* She provided pictures of the area to the Commission. She stated the shellfish in the area is substantial and the area is very fragile. The Depietro dock is just within their property line, net to hers, and she did not see where three more families would be able to boat. Ms Behrman stated this does not come under the legal jurisdiction of the Commission and would have to be addressed to the state Waterways Commission. Mrs. Zuckerman stated she called DEE today as the letter was received last right notifying her of the meeting tonight. Sine'ques ion the abutter notification, Mr.' Arnderson stated there was also the initial notification for the previous con- tinued hearing so everyone was, in fact, notified twice. Ms Behrman stated there were '16 receipts and the Commission was unable to address Mrs, uc er an's concerns about the number of boats in a given area.
