At request of applicant, continued from 3122 for revised plans addressing Shellfish/Harbormaster concerns. NOI Resource Area: LSCSF, Land Under Ocean, Land Under Ocean, Salt Marsh, BVW, Land Containing Shellfish.(Little River) Jack Landers-Cauley, J.E. Landers-Cauley, represented the applicants. He explained they have submitted updated.plans which addressed the concerns of the Shellfish/Harbormaster. He stated the proposed project is the razing of an old dock and pilings and re-construction of a combination fixed pier, ramp, float and two spring piles. The fixed portion of the dock and piles will be permanent. The ramp and floats are removable which will be removed each fall. He explained the procedure for the installation of the piles. He reviewed the existing plan and the revised.plan and noted they modified the dock about 6 to 8 feet further inland. They moved the dock two feet further to the north and noted the dock is not going any further closer to the channel than what presently exists from the south and the north. He spoke about the original amnesty license and said given the circumstances of the past to consider the piles have been there awhile but the plan didn't reflect them. Carl Cavossa, owner, stated the Shellfish Constable asked them to remove three piles at the end of the dock and we were able to remove 4 total. He showed the contour lines of the channel on the plan. The Agent stated the Harbormaster hasn't submitted any additional comments but the navigation will be taken up at the State level. He reviewed the Shellfish Constable comments which stated if there is an increase in the number of pilings he would not support the project due to the area being a highly productive shellfish area. There was much discussion about the amount of the pilings and the net increase would be one. [Type here]
