<br />He elaborates on the proposed modifications, focusing on the section at the end of the existing <br />stairs. The plan involves changing the shape of the landing from rectangular to trapezoidal. The <br />new pier will feature an aluminum frame, with footing and decking installed atop this frame. The <br />design minimizes the need for construction equipment, with the primary task being the <br />installation of posts to support the timber platform at the bottom of the stairs. <br /> <br />The harbormaster has reviewed the project and confirmed the absence of any navigational <br />hazards. A letter from the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) was received, and the applicant <br />has no objections to their requests. Email correspondence with Mr. McManus during the design <br />phase confirmed the applicant's agreement to adhere to DMF's guidelines. The concerns raised <br />were related to pier maintenance and the applicant's responsibility for any cleanup required on <br />land or within the pond in the event of damage. Additionally, if the pier needs rebuilding, a new <br />Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted. Mr. Lizardi-Rivera mentions a prior conversation <br />with the applicants, who voiced no objections. Mr. Kent suggests adding a bubbler to break up <br />ice. <br /> <br />COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS <br /> <br />Ms. Zollo inquires about the DMF's conditions. Mr. Lizardi-Rivera refers to the DMF's letter, <br />which suggests reducing the size of the proposed footprint to minimize impact on public access <br />and avoid excessive shading. DMF also recommends measures to prevent fuel spills, either by <br />prohibiting on-site refueling or ensuring proper cleanup equipment and containment procedures <br />are in place. Another concern is compliance with current regulations and standards, which the <br />proposed project meets as it falls well under the town of Mashpee's maximum size limit for a <br />"fixed float" terminal section. <br /> <br />There are no public comments. <br /> <br /> Motion made by Ms. Godfrey to close and issue with the condition should the dock <br />become damaged the owner must replace the dock. Motion seconded by Ms. Clapprood. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> Ms. Zollo suggests that if the dock sustains any ice damage, the owner will be obligated <br />to remove it indefinitely during the winter season. She proposes implementing a trial period with <br />an inspection after the winter season to assess the dock's condition. <br /> <br />Mr. McManus recommends regularly inspecting the dock and addressing any issues with the <br />homeowner as they arise. <br /> Roll Call: Ms. Godfrey (Yes), Ms. Thornbrugh (Yes), MS. Clapprood (Yes) Ms. <br />Copeland (Yes), Ms. Zollo (Yes). <br /> <br />The motion passes unanimously. <br /> <br />6:45 <br />NOI 43-3278 <br /> <br />
