Members sitting: E. Govoni, J. Regan, C. Hawver Engineer Michael Grotzke represented the applicant and presented revised plans for a smaller dock which were requested by the Conservation Commission. He explained that there are 14 similar docks in the area. Mr. Govoni said he wanted Conservation to verify the edge of the wetlands and said that the Harbormaster had no problems with the pians. Mr. Govoni read a letter in opposition from Andrew M. Olins. Peter Zentz of the Fells Pond Homeowners Association said he was opposed to the original length and did not know that the dock had been shortened to 15'. He expressed concern that the dock would be used by trespassers. He said he thought the dock should only be used for a small boat and not diving. Mr. Grotzke said the dock was to get access to the water. Mr. Govoni explained that the Board had no authority on trespass issues. Lois Ridge, a direct abutter, objected to the original length. She questioned the railing and Mr. Grotzke said this was required by code. Ms. Ridge said the new design was an improvement. Mr. Govoni moved to grant the Special Permit for the construction in accordance with revised plans with the condition that there be no railing on the float and ramp, He stated that the plans should be reviewed with Conservation for agreement on the edge of wetlands. The permit provides for the repair and maintenance in perpetuity. Ms. Hawver seconded. All agreed. Dunkin' Donuts -Members sitting: E. Govoni, J. Regan,M.
