Board of Appeals • Members sitting: • Minutes - May 12, 1993 J. Friel, M. Makunas, E. Govoni 3. Edward McGuire, Environmental Consultant Bob Gray and Engineer Stephen A. Haas represented the applicant. Mr. McGuire explained that his family owned two lots with docks which had been built in the 19501s. He said they had three docks which were damaged in Hurricane Bob. They wish to replace two of them and have received Conservation approval. He said the Building Inspector had informed them that they did not meet setback requirements and needed variances. One dock is 10' from the lot line and the other is 5'. He presented pictures of the docks before the hurricane. Mr. Gray said that they have to license in the footprint at the time of the hurricane. Mr. Govoni noted that the lots predated zoning and did not have setback requirements. Mr. Govoni moved to grant the Special Permit for the dock, ramp and float at 410 Monomoscoy Road noting that the dock was built before zoning and that there were zero sideline setback requirements and that a Variance is not required. The Special Permit allows a 7' sideline setback from the float to the lot line. Mr. Makunas seconded. All agreed.
