Remove existing dock/pier (78 sf +/-) and re-construct with aluminum frame 24’ x 4’ dock/pier to access Aunt Edie’s Pond.
Matt Farrell represented the applicants. Applicants are proposing removing permanent dock and float and replace with seasonal dock and float. Previous owner had never recorded the Order of Conditions for the old dock. Mr. Farrell requested that the vegetation which was previously there be allowed to grow back naturally. Some mitigation was proposed with two planting areas of blueberries and sweet pepper bush. Mr. Schreibman noted the piles of brush and grass clippings and their effect on pond. The chairman suggested a zig zag path to pond in order to help address runoff. Mr. Ballantine moved to approve dock with the provision that at the 100' buffer line a row of sweet pepper and high bush blueberry be planted on the way across and leave rest to re-vegetate and revisit in one
year from this date, (be included in the Order of Conditions, which is to be drafted at a later time) and path to meander, Mr. Bourgoin seconding, motion carries.

Martin Moran represented the applicant. Bulkhead is eroding and is proposing to dig by hand and no re-set of rocks. Mr. Chatham noted that during a meeting with him and engineer he noted that work that is proposed needs to be located and saw random stones on beach which serve no purpose. He suggested that toe stones should be dug in and make a revetment type of wall and should beach level drop, either remove stones or come up with an engineering plan for revetment which will afford double protection from sea.
