around that point , with people swimming on the other side , <br /> for the gain of allowing one person a dock , in addition to a <br /> navigation hazard , there is a safety hazard for people , even <br /> without boats . <br /> Dr . Gordon advised his feeling is mixed . He has a personal <br /> feeling that would be against it but also has a feeling he <br /> has to be fair to everyone and unbiased . This is a primary <br /> and only access for many of the boats in the area , including <br /> his; there is no cho,oce but to go directly by this dock . As <br /> it stands now ,, it is extremely chancy to have two boats going <br /> in opposite directions . He agreed that it looks on paper as <br /> if it is not going to be a problem but he {feels it is going <br /> to be an impediment to navigation . He would prefer to wait <br /> and see if it is possible to have the channel made <br /> significantly wider than i n the past. . He feels this will <br /> increase the risk of accidents . <br /> Mr . Homeye r advised anyone can come in with an application <br /> and call it a "dinghy dock" and then put the Queen Mary on <br /> it . He can get away with . There is no way to enforce it . <br /> Mr . Hanks pointed out the interesting iter in the letter from <br /> the lawyers concerning respective authority for removing <br /> debris from the marsh is that the Waterways commission has n <br /> authority to regulate vessels; that solely belongs td the <br /> Harbormaster . Therefore , this reviewing of docks is really <br /> academic . <br /> Mr .. ey r agreed it is academic in that the commission has <br /> no authority , however , what can be done is to write the Army <br /> Corps of Engineers as they are the ones that have the final <br /> say over and above Chapter 91 . If the protest is loud <br /> enough , as has happened previously .1"n several instances , the - <br /> my corps will remove the permit for the dock and without <br /> the Army Corps permit , it cannot go forward . They will take <br /> into consideration the beam of the vessel , the velocity of <br /> the tidal flow and other factors , if pointed out to them . <br /> The Commission could ask the Selectmen to write this letter <br /> to Army corps as they have a 90 day time frame to appeal <br /> where private citizens have only 30 days <br /> Dr . Gordon spoke with the Selectmen about this last night and <br /> the omml* sion had written a short letter that this issue was <br /> coming up and asking for guidance . i m Vaccaro stated to <br /> proceed as outlined , which was to crake the Commission 's <br /> thoughts known to the Board of Appeals and , if necessary , to <br /> contact the Corps . . The Com l*ssion has the support of the <br /> Selectmen . <br /> . he Hcskrbormaster advised he went out to the site with Rick <br /> York , the Shellfish Warden . They had them move it over to <br /> � '5 ,-opera Y line and even had them move it bay -Further <br /> boat would sit w 'd be r.,st the shore . <br />
