They are proposing a change in size to 10' x 201 (200 s.f. ). Also, they would like to straighten out the structure which can be done with a slight shift; it would not extend any further. They would maintain the sane starting point and same ending point. Mr. Homeyer asked if they would remove piles? Mr. Mc evish stated there is nothing there now but two concrete piles as an anchor point; there is no dock there. There would be the same number of 10" pilings.
