The scope and intent of the original project was to connect the house and the dock by replacing the series of dilapidated decks. The original site plan review and area variance were granted to allow Mr. Francis's agent/contractor (Bill Oehler) to complete this process according to the architect's drawings provided to both Boards. On November 26, 2019, Mr. Francis received a notice of violation- order to remedy for SP 72-2014 and AV 85-2014 from the town. Mr. Oehler is no longer involved with this project. The intent of this application is:(1) remedy the violations noted in the previous letter by removing the most egregious aspects of the violations that fall within the shoreline setback, and (2) as instructed in the town's letter, request that the town grant greater relief concerning the changes in the configuration of the stairs. After the remedies to the previously mentioned violations are resolved, the new agent/contractor (Morgan Gazetos) will work with the building department to close out any remaining structural issues.
