He noted in January 2015 an Order of Conditions was issued but no work was started, therefore, the Order of Conditions has expired. The proposed project is exactly the same as proposed in 2015. Mr. Costa reviewed the proposed project which consists of removing the existing pier, ramp, pile and float structure, construct, license and maintain a new private residential pier, ramp, pile and float system, remove the existing wood deck, posts, stairs and concrete footing leading to the Coastal Beach with new wooden deck, stairs and posts that will lead to the new pier. Also, remove the wood retaining wall along Hamblin's Pond, replace with extension of the concrete bulkhead and place beach nourishment. The existing driveway will be regarded with the construction of a stone surface driveway turn around area. The construction includes the installation of a stone patio with a stone fire pit, the construction of a new two car detached garage and the proposed mitigation plantings, removal of debris from the resource areas and phragmites eradication. He noted the limit of work will be maintained throughout the construction and that the project meets the performance standards and the new pier will provide better protection to the resource areas. The Agent stated the Shellfish Warden noted it is not expected to impact shellfish in anyway. He reviewed the letter from the Division Marine Fisheries and their concerns and restrictions. He said he agrees with all of their concerns and will add them to the Order of Conditions. The Agent also reviewed the Board of Health comments that the existing leaching facility limits the property to three bedrooms. The detached garage must be unheated and for storage only. The Agent showed-images of the property noting the detached garage, the causeway, the proposed turnaround and the mitigation proposed.
