PARCEL HISTORY: BP 2011-601: Demo of dock w/roofdeck
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Applicant proposes replacement of 696 sq. ft. dock with 535 sq. ft. sundeck
with like size dock with sundeck. Further, applicant proposes a reconfiguration of access stairs to dock and
the addition of a removable 20 sq. ft. stairs for water access
STAFF COMMENTS: Site visit has confirmed that the boathouse has been removed from the site as per
BP 2011-601 cited above. The visit also confirmed a densely vegetated shoreline in the vicinity of the
proposed new boathouse. The Planning Board may wish to ascertain if any of the existing vegetation is
slated for removal and if so to what extent.
Additional comments:
1.The boat house as proposed is to be 16’-0” above the mean high water mark and as such meets the
maximum 16 foot height requirement per §179-5-060(11).
2.The boathouse, as designed, appears to show no facilities for sleeping, cooking or sanitary facilities
as per §179-5-060(12).
3.Due to topography, a land bridge to the sundeck is proposed with access to the dock.
