Jack asked for comments on this application from the audience, but pointed out that this <br /> Corgi si .n 'is only coned--with the Wetlands Protection Act and the Mashpee Bylaws. <br /> Mark Burs,.Little River Boatyard, represented his brother Jon, who 'is an abutter, and himself in <br /> a roundabout way as an abutter of a sheflfish ranch 150 yards from this site_ He sd concrete <br /> barr'ers do not work. He doesn't think they would withstand the velocity of the northeast storms <br /> that.come in there, He has replaced four concrete barriers that general vicinity with bulk head ' <br /> walls. He sa"d there is no asphalt down there—it's all left-over concrete that trucks dumped <br /> i <br /> there mer filling a foundation. The DPW recommended this dumping in the old days. ffis <br /> method's using a standard-Navy vinyl-sheeting wall going down a lot more than 18"'. He said <br /> ah the concrete banners there have.collapsed and are in the ponds. Ms. Laurent said the.plan was <br /> developed by a professional.engineer. <br /> Michael sa'd that as long as the blocks are well connected, that"s a pretty solid mass setting back <br /> into the bank- <br /> Mr. Burns sa'd ars identical concrete block can be seen around the corner of Route 130 at the end <br /> of the driveway of the old sandpit. Jack asked if Coastal Zone Management could advise-us, and <br /> Steve said yes, and the Cooperative Extension could probably help us also_ He said Mr. Brtis <br /> has a.good point as someone who has lived the area for years and is familiar with how a storm <br /> goes through there. Jack recommended we have a continuation and have an engineer from <br /> Coastal Zone Management present. Ms. trent asked if that.is something we could do before <br /> the next.meeting. Jack said that would he allright. Steve sed the Cooperative Extension has an <br /> engineer on staff who dews specifically with Conse' ry tion issues and maybe we should entertain <br /> consulting nth him. It wouldn't be the Town engineer who was hired to do this project against <br /> the party represented here today. It would be a third ply. <br /> Mr. Bis said thisp lan involves a gigantic excavation in the tidal zone— a huge conservation <br /> issue. a"s concerned about.the velocity of the runoff which wil result, and the abutters should <br /> be concerned'about what's going to happen to the sidelines of the property from the velocity of <br /> the storm water ring down. He said a simple Navy wafl is a lot cheaper than this plan and a <br /> lot less invasive as far as the digging is concerned. They will be digging pre-existing plantings— <br /> rosa ragosa and all kinds of mn' n' roses which are not shown on this plan. <br /> Steve said that a vertical construction is not allowed in our Bylaw. It would have to be tapered <br /> somehow. Mr, Burns said the natural slope here now has been doing fie. He could build a wad <br /> a very rntmmum height.--about 4 ft. He and his neighbors are not against this project—they <br /> anally brought the situation to the"town's attention. However,, they are concerned about <br /> what's going to happen to the sidelines of their propel, the expense to the taxpayers of <br /> Masee, and the extent of the digging that would take place, because this plan would require <br /> -tremendous amount of digging. There is no shellfish in the area that's going to be dug, but <br /> there's plenty in the siltation zone where the excavation would take place. <br /> .Greg Perry, 37 Riverside Drive, said this road is very narrow, so when cars park on the side it i <br /> almost impossible for mother car to pass through. Hs concerns are that this plan will increase <br /> the traffic on the road and if followed,the road should be widened. Also, the plan would be a <br /> 4 <br />
