Gould. Also present was Building Commissioner, Michael Mendoza. Catherine Laurent, DPW Director represented the Town requesting a Special Permit to replace the wooden dock system at the Pirates Cove Boat Launch. She supplied the Board a photo of what currently exists,and a plot plan that depicts the new construction and decking materials that will be used to upgrade the dock and float. She said that the dock will not be extending any further into the water than what currently exists. The dock will be extended landward, and will include a small ramp from the landing platform to make the facility more accessible. An Order of Conditions was issued by the Conservation Commission, and there is a Chapter 91 License in place which does not require any amendments because there are no major dimensional changes. She said there will be dingy racks constructed to facilitate the dinghies and remove them off the beach area. The Board had a discussion that it would be nice to receive comments from the Harbormaster and Shellfish Warden for these types of applications because it's a Town requirement under the Bylaw. 1
