Summary

New application IWWC 26-8 for a residential dock at 154 Falls Road (Anthony DeMatitis) was introduced; commissioners scheduled a field inspection and asked for complete plans, suggesting a 6-foot width for stability rather than the proposed 4-foot width.

The commission received a new application (IWWC 26-8) from Anthony DeMatitis for a residential dock at 154 Falls Road and agreed to perform a field inspection before final action.

Staff reported the applicant submitted preliminary plans for a 4-by-16-foot dock; staff suggested considering a 6-foot width for greater stability. Commissioners also noted an area of sand on the lot that may be legacy material from a prior owner and said they would inspect site conditions, including the nearby refurbished reservoir dam area, during a field walk. The commission moved and voted to continue the application and schedule the field inspection so needed measurements and stability considerations can be reviewed in person.

Next steps: the commission will perform a field inspection and the applicant will be asked to submit complete, dimensioned plans for staff and building-official review prior to final approval.
