Mashpee Board of Appeals Minutes - January i i 24, 1990 Page 6. • Sidney Covich - (Owner of record: Leonard Jolles and Jane Lonergan TRS) Request a Special Permit under Section 174.25.I.9 of the Zoning By-laws for an existing unlicensed pier, ramp and floats in an R-3 zoning district on property located at 141 Daniel's Island Road (Map 105, Block 277) Mashpee, MA. N. Members sitting: C. Hawver, M. Makunas, J. Friel Jeffrey Ryther of Holmes and McGrath Engineers represented the Applicant. He presented plans for an existing pier, ramp and floats. Ms. Hawver informed the Board that the Assessor's records indicated that the house had been built in 1975 and the dock in 1981. • • Paul Somerville, Shellfish Constable, said that this application has been through Conservation and has an Order of Conditions. He understood that the property had had a pier and a float and that additional floats had been added without permits. He said that if the application is being handled as a new structure he would like to see the pier longer. He informed the Board that there was a soft shell clam resource and quohog habitat in the area. He would like the pier elongated but would not look favorably on a Variance request. Mr. Somerville mentioned that Chester Koblinsky, Harbor Master, would have records on the float permits for the property. Mr. Ryther reviewed the plans and said that a 70' length limitation would mean eliminating a float. There was discussion of ice damage to the 4' x 4' construction. Mr. Somerville stated that the shorter design might not accomodate Mr. Covich's boats. Mr. Govoni asked what problem there would be in granting a length Variance. Mr. Somerville replied that the area was a good quohog habitat and fishermen worked from boats there. He suggested that all motorized boats be restricted to the outside of the float. Mr. Ryther said that the ownei would expect to have floats for his two or three boats. Mr. Friel moved to grant a Special Permit for a 70' dock with a 30'6" float with the changes to be made in the ramp structure as noted by the Shellfish Constable and the Shellfish Constable to sign off on the plan. Mr. Makunas seconded. All agreed.
