What it- sags is, - <br /> "To,-,-.the extent that structures, whether temporary or -pe.rmanent are <br /> regu " ted by Chapter 91 , by the State regulations ,,when they come out, <br /> they will be adopted by the Town'* If the stag excludes- them., to <br /> give you an, a ample: If the state -excludes seawalls, then we o ld <br /> have nothing to do with them; if the State e c udes temporary docks, <br /> we will have nothing to do with them. On the other hand, -3'.f they <br /> include any-,category, then our bylaw,js intended to be exacts the <br /> same as theirs. <br /> .5 <br /> QUESTION: What will you classify as a temporarydock? <br /> ROSENB : That will depend on whatlth6 state defines it as. <br /> CHAIRMAN: The Town would still regulate under- 131 . 400 <br /> R SE fBER : That' s different* You have to realize we are- dealing with <br /> a whole host of State. laws.
