Summary

Robert Bailey’s NOI to reposition and enlarge a dock and install a boat lift at 17 Elm St. (WE 254-0495) was approved with plan-based conditions; the Commission noted work cannot begin until Chapter 91 approval is received.

The Commission granted NOI WE 254-0495, submitted by Robert Bailey for 17 Elm St. (Map 16B Lot 21), to reposition an existing dock, install an addition to the dock, and add a boat lift within the Otis Reservoir buffer. Domenic Battista moved to grant the NOI with special conditions as cited in the plans; the Commission noted explicitly that no work may begin until Chapter 91 approval is obtained. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.

The requirement to obtain Chapter 91 approval places a permitting dependency on state-level waterway authorization before physical work can proceed. The Commission’s decision documents the plan-specific conditions and the Chapter 91 prerequisite in the project file.
