BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes July 26, 1989 Page 2. • Mr. Friel asked if a restaurant might occupy the site. Mr. Ferragamo responded that they had no plans for a restaurant or any waste -producing use of the space. Mr. Makunas stated that he felt a Variance was necessary on the lot coverage within the Groundwater Protection District. Mr. Halpern moved to grant a Variance from Section 11.B.5.H to allow for an increase from 30% to 39% of lot coverage rendered impervious by buildings or pavement. Mr. Friel seconded. All agreed. Mr. Makunas asked if any landscaping bids had been submitted on the property. Mr. Ferragamo responded that he did not expect that there would be $10,000 worth of plantings.. There was discussion on the legality of requiring the posting of bonds for landscaping performance. Mr. Halpern moved to grant the Special Permit. Mr. Makunas asked for an amendment to the motion to include bond requirement. Mr. Halpern moved to grant the Special Permit as requested with the condition that a $10,000 landscaping bond or letter of credit be posted with the Town Treasurer before a building permit was issued. Mr. Friel seconded. All agreed. David W. Damon - (Owner of record: David W. and Diana L.

Members sitting: Michael Makunas, Richard Halpern, Edward Govoni David W. Damon represented his application. He explained his plans for a dock which would be removed in the winter. Members of the Board reviewed the plans. Mr. Halpern stated that the plans were lacking in identification of poles to hold the floats. Mr. Makunas asked how floats would be connected and Mr. Damon replied that chains and eyebolts would be used. Mr. Makunas said plans were lacking in engineering detail. Direct abutters Lincoln and Sheila Krauter spoke in favor of the petition. Paul Somerville, Shellfish Constable, said that he did not receive plans until July 7 although plans were filed with the Town Clerk on June 14, 1989. He said the circumstances were similar to that of the Malloy dock in the neighborhood to which he was opposed. He informed the Board that neither he nor the Conservation Commission has had time to review the details of the petition. Mr. Govoni and Mr. Halpern informed Mr. Damon of the requirement to allow a 5' height clearance to provide public access under the dock. • Comments were received from the Conservation Commission asking for additional time and more complete plans.
