Planning Board reviews two Chapter 91 waterfront applications, authorizes staff sign-off
Summary
The board reviewed Chapter 91 (waterfront) license applications for 6 Cap'n Doane and 13 Port Way, heard that conservation and harbor master conditions were met, and authorized staff sign-off unless members request a public hearing.
Planning staff presented two Chapter 91 license reviews for waterfront work at 6 Cap'n Doane and 13 Port Way and the board authorized staff to sign the planning-board endorsement for the applications.
Staff described the 6 Cap'n Doane proposal as a "raise and replace" with a new landing, ramp and floats, dredging and a rebuilt bulkhead; the harbor master and conservation commission conditions were reported as satisfied. For 13 Port Way staff said the property is also proposing a new ramp, piles and floats after a recent raise-and-replace project and that conservation and harbor master review were complete.
The board discussed whether any member wanted a public hearing for either application. Staff noted that most technical reviews are addressed through the conservation commission and harbor master, but the planning board could request a public hearing if concerns exist. Following that exchange the board voted to allow the planning board signatory (Paul) to sign off on the Chapter 91 applications unless a member asked for a hearing.
The chair summarized that this step records the planning board’s review for state Chapter 91 licensing and does not substitute for conservation or harbor master approvals.
