Summary

The commission approved a timber dock, gangway and float at 409 Pine Hill Road with a required float-stop set at 30 inches; commissioners voted in favor with one dissent (Jake).

Applicant Lynn Taylor described a proposed timber dock on the east branch of the river at 409 Pine Hill Road: a fixed pier roughly 72 feet, an 18-foot gangway and an 8-by-20 float, supported by 18 pilings spaced about 12 feet apart. Staff said the design meets the commission's dock policy and recommended issuance of an order of conditions with a float-stop set at 30 inches and standard dock conditions.

The commission moved and seconded to approve the dock with the float-stop condition. The chair noted the motion passed with all in favor except commissioner Jake, who opposed. Staff recorded that the property had a prior approved dock license that expired; the new approval includes standard conditions to limit impacts to coastal bank, shellfish areas and land under the river.
