Town of Mashpee Conservation Commission 16 Great Neck Road North Mashpee, MA 02649 NOI 139 Summersea Road, Eric Goldman. Proposed expansion of the floating dock on the property. (Representative: Eric R. & Jackie L. Goldman) 43- 3399 The applicant's representative did not appear in person or on Zoom for the scheduled hearing, despite previously indicating they would attend remotely. Staff noted that the DEP file number was issued late in the day, which may have caused confusion as to whether the hearing was proceeding. Because the applicant was not present,the Commission determined that the matter must be continued by necessity. Conservation staff advised that, under the bylaw, a continuance by necessity must be scheduled for the next available hearing date, unless the applicant expressly agrees to a later date. As such, the matter was continued to February 19, 2026. Commissioners also discussed that the application materials currently on file were insufficiently detailed, noting that the plans only depict a proposed 30-foot by 12-foot float extension(approximately 200 square feet)without construction details. Missing information includes attachment methods, structural details, identification markings, and how the float would be secured during storm events. While no pilings are proposed,members raised questions about float stops and stability,particularly given shallow conditions in the area. Staff confirmed they would reach out to the applicant to request additional information and advise them of the Commission's concerns so they can return better prepared for the continued hearing. Commissioners also agreed to email any specific questions or comments to conservation staff for consolidation and forwarding to the applicant in advance of the February 19 meeting.
