(cont. 1.08) 43- 3384 The Commission reopened the public hearing for the Notice of Intent at 40 Popponesset Island Road, which proposes the construction of a pier, ramp, and float extending from the subject property. The matter had previously been continued from the January 8, 2026 meeting. The applicant, through their representative, requested a further continuance to March 19, 2026. No substantive project updates were presented at this hearing. Staff explained that the request for continuance was made so the applicant could engage in further discussions with the abutter located immediately north of the proposed dock system.
