this area to develop the housing proposed which was approved by the Planning Board, he <br /> determined the scouring could increase. Mr. Bonvie was asking the commissioners to <br /> approve the improvement of the 3 drainage outlets which would consist of a catch basin <br /> in which the water would go into the manhole reducing the velocity. Additional stone <br /> would be added and all of the work would be 80 to 85 feet away from Martha's Pond <br /> instead of 100 feet. Mr. Bonvie stated he is trying to do some good planning so he <br /> doesn't have a problem in the future. The Agent stated the lots are in the process of <br /> being cleared for development and showed the commissioners the area on photos and <br /> said the proposed improvements would break up the velocity which is an improvement <br /> from the existing design and will save a lot of issues down the road. The Agent <br /> recommended a negative determination. Following a discussion on the details of the <br /> design, there were no comments from the public. <br /> Motion: Mr. Shaw moved for a negative determination, seconded by Mr. Sweet. <br /> Vote Unanimous. 7--0 <br /> 6:18 George R and Patricia Leach,30 Overland Road. Proposed replacement of a <br /> wooden bulkhead with a new bulkhead and replacement of a seasonal pier structure <br /> with a permanent pier structure. NOI <br /> Resource Areas: LUO, Coastal Bank, Salt Marsh,Land Subject to Coastal Storm <br /> Flowage, ACEC Area <br /> Matt Costa, Cape and Island Engineering, was representing the applicants. He said they <br /> were requesting approval to do improvements to the property including the seasonal pier. <br /> They have talked to DEP about making the pier a permanent structure because it is in <br /> ACEC. The rationale is that the permanent structure will have less damage by not having <br /> it taken in and out every year. They are proposing to install pilings and in addition the <br /> pier is going to have a small ramp from an existing pathway. The property has an <br /> existing bulkhead which extends the entire length of the property which is made up of <br /> pilings. There is some erosion on the bulkhead and they are proposing to build a new <br /> bulkhead in front of the existing to maintain the stabilization of the bank. The bulkhead <br /> will be made up of rigid corrugated material and will be a navy wall design. Matt said <br /> there will be some disturbance along the entire length of the wall but will be revegetated <br /> with natural grasses which he submitted with his application. He pointed out the Rosa <br /> Ragusa and said they are not planning on disturbing them. The stairs will also be rebuilt. <br /> The Agent stated the project does meet the performance standards. He noted the erosion <br /> on the bank. The harbormaster and shellfish constable have no problem with the <br /> proposed project. ACEC stated there will be no adverse effect.The Agent recommended <br /> establishing the permanent dock and approved the mitigation plantings. Following a <br /> discussion on the details of the construction of the bulkhead, the Agent recommended to <br /> close and issue. <br /> No comments from the public <br />
