coastal bank but in order to construct the pool and patio, they needed to install a limit of work line that <br /> does creep inside the 50' buffer which they plan to restore that area with mitigation plantings. Mr. Costa <br /> is also proposing approximately 830sf of mitigation plantings between the 50'-100' buffer and a pathway <br /> that will lead to a pier through the existing trees. They would like to construct an elevated walkway that <br /> will begin at the edge of the coastal bank and elevate over the entire coastal bank down to the beginning <br /> of the pier. The pier is mesh decking over the area of salt marsh which will allow 70% of light penetration <br /> and extend the decking with traditional spaced planks. The piles will be vinyl coated with 3' x 25' <br /> aluminum ramp and a 6' x 20' polyethylene shell float which will have float stops installed. Mr. Costa <br /> continues to explain that the lawn area proposed will be installed in accordance with Mashpee's lawn <br /> regulations and the proposed vista corridor is also per regulations. <br /> Agent McManus states that because all structures are being maintained outside the 50' buffer, there is no <br /> requirement for mitigation or a request for a waiver. The coastal bank is a vegetated non-eroding <br /> coastal bank. The Harbormaster and Shellfish Constable reviewed the plans which the Harbormaster <br /> stated his typical requirement of displaying the home address on all sections of the pier, ramp and float <br /> along with the DEP number. <br /> Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to Close and Issue <br /> 3) New Signage: Noisy Hole/ Besse Bog Conservation Areas—Agent McManus says that the signage for <br /> these areas has been installed. They were made by Davis Signs and they came out great. The signs <br /> will last much longer and will be more resistance to weather and vandalism. <br /> 4) Mashoee River Woodlands Trail Work Day: 6/22/12 @ 9:00 a.m.—The Land Stewards program is <br /> hosting an extensive trail work day at the Mashpee River Woodlands. AmeriCorps is providing seven <br /> volunteers including Kelsey Boyd; a few land stewards including Bill McKay who has been a long time <br /> land steward and does a fantastic job of monitoring the trails. Mr. McKay has secured a wood router to <br /> create post signs that will display the initials of the trail. DPW is providing a Brush Hog to take care of <br /> the trails on the western side which are very overgrown. Eric Grotske will also be volunteering. Most of <br /> the work will be done with hand tools and trail markers will be hung on trees. The markers are color <br /> coded and will help identify the trails. Pizza will be provided for lunch. <br /> 5) Tidewatch /New Seaburv: Coastal Bank Erosion Project—Agent McManus states that Tidewatch and <br /> New Seabury will come before us on June 281h. They are currently still working out some details as far <br /> as the coastal bank stabilization project; cutting away filter fabric and boards. There are still some <br /> minor details to be worked out. Tidewatch is still responsible for a significant amount of beach <br /> nourishment that has not been met over the last several years. The Agent states that this nourishment <br /> also needs to be hashed out with Tidewatch; maybe they will combine the nourishment efforts onto one <br /> property but for now, but he feels that Tidewatch should at least deposit some sand on the wall as a <br /> compromise for the lack of nourishment over the last several years. Tidewatch was supposed to <br /> nourish 1500cu yds a year for the purpose of maintaining the wall and down drift nourishment. <br /> Chairman Fitzsimmons is concerned about what it is they will be trying to achieve on the 28`h or what is <br /> the Commission supposed to tell them. Agent McManus states that the first and foremost is to get rid <br /> of the filter fabric and impediments to the sand migration on Bayswater property. The Chairman says <br /> that because it was not in the original design or Order of Conditions than can they just take it out. <br /> Agent McManus states that they need to see how the project pans out as it was originally intended to. <br /> They do have some ideas about maintaining the spacing between the piles as the sand is going to <br /> compress them closer together over time. Both engineering consultants are working together to find a <br /> solution to enhance that project's capability of allowing sand down to the beach without it being <br /> 7 <br />
