Trustees approve amendment to Seacoast Enterprises' 10‑year permit for 3 Mile Harbor Marina

At their March 23 meeting the Hampton Town trustees approved an amendment to a previously granted 10‑year maintenance permit for Seacoast Enterprises Associates Inc. The amendment covers 3 Mile Harbor Marina at 6 Boatyard Road (tax map parcels listed during the meeting) and would add authority to construct two finger piers that were not built under the earlier permit and to allow the marina to reconfigure finger piers within the marina area as slip needs change.

A staff report noted that the original 2024 permit authorized construction of 12 finger piers and a 3‑by‑100‑foot catwalk; the applicant constructed 10 of the finger piers and the catwalk. The amendment request asks that the two unbuilt piers be wrapped into the existing 10‑year maintenance permit and that language permitting reconfiguration of finger piers be included.

A trustee moved to approve the amendment and the board adopted the motion by voice vote. No roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript. Trustees did not attach new conditions beyond the requested amendment as presented on the record.

Why this matters: The amendment regularizes previously unbuilt and reconfiguration work under a long‑term maintenance permit, clarifying the marina's permitted footprint and reducing the need for separate short‑term permit actions for reconfiguration.

Whats next: Staff will document the approved amendment in the permit files and notify the applicant.
