-, August 24, 1989 Proposed Regulations Page 4. VIITA: I can' t say it' s here, I read it in the paper that no Ion-ger would we be allowed to store them on the bank. We have had a float and a ramp for 17 years. I can' t see any damage to the bank from up- ending it against it. You are welcome to cone and loom at it. We have pictures from when we first mored there and you can compare those pictures with the condition of it now. 1 think that it is an imposition on people to expect them to spend money that they ha en9t had to spend in the past to move their ramps. As you said, you can have them transported, who is going to come in and do it for minimum fee? Nobody is. CHAIRMAN' Thank your for your comments. ANTHONY FIORENTINO, 23 Godfrey Road= Relative to subchapter H,. a sentence sags the, without reading the whole thing, the structures that are concerned above must have an engineered plan bearing the stamp of both a professional land surveyor and professional engineer. I don' t quite understand the reason for that, for an old existing structure that' s there. I believe that it should have the flexibility if you want to know where a fixture is, whether it be ramp, float or walkway , a plan will show it to be enact within an inch, in both latitude and longitude that a surveyor would do. I don' t think it's necessary, it' s not proving anything except that it's an inordinate cost to people who have had this structure for many years to go spend thousands of dollars to create this vast amount of paperwork that' s going to rest somewhere.

When you ask for it,. nobody will know what' s there or what it' s there for in the Coon- wealth of Mass. My position is, if you want a plan, accept a plan that delineates what the property has on it and without going through ole o f very expensive e pl ans.ex �. 1 t i s fang r�ga p CHAIRMAN= Thank you, that ' s a very constructive comment, A T 1 This is in regards to the fees * we have had very little publicity about it but effective August lst, 1 was told by the Town Clerk that the fees for DEP would be $2. 00 per foot and the town has adopted the same fee at $2. 00 per foot. Am I correct? (Yes, sir) , Ori finally, a situation like gine would have cost . and now the same situation would cost $374. , including the $20, advertising fee. Isn' t this a considerable increase on the Town part to copy the state? CHAIRMAN:: l Mink basically our regulations, in most cases our fees would have been more, so basically our fees have dropped where footage is concerned. CAT IF : Prior to August 1st? (Yes, sir) . I was under the impression on inlet ways there was a flat fee for a seasonal dock of *90. , an application fee . BEHRMAN: Yes, S C: You are not inland, that' s coastal . The fee would have been $140. A T I : So, now it' s going to cost $374. for the same application . CHAIRMAN: It would depend on the footage. We thought it would be
