Conservation Commission January 6, 1994 Page 4. Mr. Sherman asked how many inches they would have at Mean Low water's Mr. Mclevish pointed to a .dine representing six inches at Extreme Mean Low water which is one-half foot lower than Mean Low. Mr. Gray stated the other alternative was to have a shorter structure with mooring facility in deeper water; Mr. Blasenak did not like that idea and decided to take �the option to go with the longer structure. The structure existing in the past was causing problems with impacts to shellfisheries and the sediment. It was well documented to the previous Shellfish warden and the Conservation Agent that there has been prop dredging and prop wash effects. They are in deeper water, but not much more than previously. He feels they are in a situation where the Commission will not be in a position to approve what is on the table. He asked to extend the hearing to allow him to discuss this further with Mr. Blasenak to convince hien to take a second look at the shorter structure and mooring facility, rather than face a denial situation and have to go through months of appeals. Mr. Sherman stated a shorter structure with no motorized craft. Mr. Gray stated if Mr. Blasenak burs into the other option, it would be the dinghy dock. He gets the feeling that if they cant t get to deeper water the Commission has ample doc- umentation to prove that this is detrimental to the shellfishery. Rick York has indicated he is not comfortable with- the proposal the last time and they have the same proposal now. The Blasenaks have to accept what the Commission will allow for that particular parcel. If they don't want to accept that, they can core back at the continuation and throw this plan on the table and the omission can decide hoer to deal with that and then the lasenaks carr decide what they want to do about it. He and Roger can't improve on this plan, they don't have the water depth and do not have the ability to extend further to get that water depth. He only sees in his own mind, to shorten the structure and go with a dinghy facility with a mooring. He has seen the pictures relative to the enforcement and they are verb vivid, as far as the damage. 1 Mr, Homeyer stated it is even shallower than before because the storms washed in so much sand.
