Town of Mashpee Conservation Commission <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> homeowner is responsible for maintaining an operation and maintenance (O&M) contract for the sludge <br /> hammer system, which includes six-month filter medium swaps. Qualified professionals, such as Cape Septic <br /> Inspections, would perform these tasks. <br /> Commissioners discussed whether this project should proceed as an RDA or require a positive <br /> determination for an NOI. Given that the system installation was relatively straightforward, with minimal site <br /> disturbance beyond the removal of one twin oak tree, they agreed the project could be voted on as an RDA. A <br /> recommendation for a two-to-one mitigation plan for the loss of the twin oak, with a two-year timeframe for <br /> implementation. <br /> MOTION: For a negative determination for 183 Monomoscoy Road <br /> with a staff recommended two-year 2:1 mitigation plan. <br /> Motion by: Richard Sahl Seconded bv: Sandi Godfrey <br /> Vote: Motion passed. <br /> Aye: Steven Cook, Sarah Thornbrugh, Sandi Godfrey, Richard Sahl <br /> Nay: Paul Colombo <br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> NOI 157 Daniels Island Road, Frank& Christina Varinos. Proposed installation of access stairs, <br /> pier,ramp and float. 43- <br /> (Representative: Down Cape Engineering Inc.) (cont. 06.26 /07.24) 3348 <br /> Danny Gonsalves of Down Cape Engineering explained that the project had been revised based on previous <br /> comments and input from the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF). The revisions included a reduced float size, <br /> removal of stairs, addition of float stops to prevent grounding, and anchor details for the existing rock wall. <br /> Mr. Gonsalves confirmed the revised plan met local dock regulations. <br /> Ms. Thornbrugh highlighted concerns with ongoing erosion controls at the property unrelated to the current <br /> application and noted that the revised plan resulted in a 2.3-foot depth of separation at mean low water, slightly <br /> below the DMF recommended minimum of 2.5 feet. She also stated that the waiver request included with the <br /> application was insufficient, lacking discussion of compelling need, enhancement of the resource area, or the <br /> degree of regulatory deviation. Mr. Colombo echoed concerns about missing information regarding the type, <br /> size, and draft of the boats to be moored, noting that without this information, it was difficult to fully assess <br /> compliance with Regulation 3, Part A, 9i. Other commissioners raised additional procedural concerns and <br /> referenced prior questions that had not been addressed. <br /> Commissioners discussed the feasibility of addressing these issues through conditions rather than requiring a <br /> continuance. It was suggested that instead of specifying boat size, the plan could condition the dock on <br /> maximum draft, which is enforceable and directly related to sediment impact, while the plan could also <br /> illustrate moored boats for informational purposes. It was noted the dock must comply with existing standards, <br /> and through floor decking must be incorporated over boardwalk spans crossing salt marsh and beach areas. <br /> Additionally, time-of-year restrictions could be applied to protect winter flounder during the breeding season. <br /> This approach would allow the project to move forward while ensuring regulatory compliance and <br /> environmental protection. <br /> 9 <br />
