Sitting on this particular hearing is Jon Furbush, Bill Blaisdell, Judith Horton, Dom DeBarros and Jack Dorsey. John Slavinsky, Cape & Islands Engineering introduced himself representing Collinswood Trust. He stated that Jeanne and Lewis Mantel owned the property for forty three years. He stated this particular lot is connected to a large marsh and boarders a body of navigable water. The Mantel’s would like to build a dock and storage shed on this property. However, the Conservation Commission stated the shed required a variance of a 50 ft setback, so the plans were redone to eliminate the shed. On April 2, 2013, John Slavinsky stated he filed paperwork with Waterways, Conservation Commission, Harbormaster and Shellfish Warden. On May 9, 2013, he met with the Conservation Commission and received approval with stipulation to cut the gravel drive park area in half. He stated there were no comments from Waterways or the Shellfish Warden, but there was one comment from the Harbormaster stating he wanted to see where the closest dock was to the North on the plot plan. John stated it is 250 feet to the North of the closest dock. The dock to the South is shown on the plan. The total size of the dock is 173 feet, and 110 foot section of dock extends to the water. The dock is positioned so it would not require a float and would have enough section to the low water mark. At the Conservation Meeting no abutters objected. There was no correspondence received from Waterways, Harbormaster or Shellfish Warden. They closed the hearing and approved the project. 1
