stops. Mr. Sweet asked if the float was labeled, Agent said it would have to be for recordkeeping. No other comments. Motion: Mr. Smith moved to close and issue, Mr. Dalton seconded. Vote: 5-0 unanimous 6:15 Susan Wilder, 112 Fells Pond Road. Proposed reconstruction and expansion of existing NOI timber pier and installation of seven additional posts. Applicant requested a continuance. Motion: Mr. McKay moved for a continuance until 3/26/20 at 6:03pm. Mr. Smith seconded. Vote: 5-0 unanimous 6:18 Lewis H. Robert, Trustee, 63 Waterline Drive South. Proposed construction of addition to NOI existing dwelling, mitigation plantings, hardscape modifications and reconstruction and reconfiguration of existing swimming pool, spa, pool patio, pool fence and pool equipment. Michael McGrath from Holmes & McGrath in Falmouth presented plans. Agent said he met on the property. Areas already have high level of existing structure, hardscaping and landscaping. Some minor encroachment to the coastal bank as a result of the proposed reconfiguration, but I think the mitigation is desperately needed. There's no impact to the relatively small area of coastal bank. Vegetation will increase that buffer. Mr. Sweet asked if there's a dock, Mr. McGrath said there's a shared dock next door. Mr. Smith asked if there is a total reduction in hardscape area, Mr. McGrath said it's probably about the same. Motion: Mr. Smith moved to close and issue, seconded by Mr. Dalton. Vote: 5-0 unanimous 6:21 Paul J. & Katherine D. McBrien & Seabrook Shores Association, Inc., 91 Bayshore Drive NOI and 75 Monomoscoy Road. Proposed vista corridors. Mike Ball from Marsh Matters Environmental presented plans. Paul and Katherine McBrien (homeowners) were present. The objective is to view the marsh from the second story deck. Agent said there's no issue, this makes sense to have 2 corridors given the vegetation. There is one large tree flagged that he would like to have examined closely by an arborist so as not to compromise the health of the tree. Everything else is pretty straightforward. Richard Krause, from Seabrook Shores Association was present to say the Association has no issues. Also present was an abutter, Phil McCahill, who was there to support the proposal. Motion: Mr. Smith moved to close and issue, Mr. McKay seconded. Vote: 5-0 unanimous 6:24 Katie Tully Balzer, 168 Whippoorwill Circle. Proposed construction of addition to existing RDA dwelling, rinse station and landing. Raul Lizardi from Cape & Islands Engineering presented plans. Agent asked how many trees would be coming out of the left side of the driveway, mentioning that 10% has to be retained as a naturally vegetative state. Mr. Lizardi said more than likely 2 trees would have to come out. Agent said it really should be clarified to the commission, and requested revised plans. He recommended a condition that all vegetation impacted be clearly flagged. Mr. Lizardi agreed. Agent asked about the Board of Health, Mr. Lizardi said they have to sign off, but it's a Title 5 and no increase in flow. Motion: Mr. McKay moved for a negative determination, Mr. Smith seconded. Vote: 5-0 unanimous 6:27 Matthew F. McGinity, 31 Sand Dollar Lane. Proposed Amendment of Order of Conditions 43- AOOC 3030 to remove/replace existing timber wall and add access stairs to existing pier. This includes previously approved pier extension, ramp and pile relocation, float and personal watercraft float and piles addition for float stops. Raul Lizardi from Cape & Islands Engineering presented plans. The OOC was received last year, this amendment is two-fold. Chapter 91 required the public access stairs be on both sides. The other part of the amendment is the two tiered retaining wall. We would repair the upper tier and keep the lower tier. Agent asked about machinery access. Mr. Lizardi said the site is very
