Summary

The commission approved a revised plan for a 10' x 20' boat shed at 52 Mill House Way relocated behind the coastal dune line per DEP; conditions require helical piles, 2–3 ft elevation above grade and restoration of disturbed vegetation.

Engineer Doug Hoehn presented a revised proposal for a 10‑by‑20‑foot boat shed for MV Property Holdings, LLC, relocated behind the coastal dune line after a superseding order from the Department of Environmental Protection and flagged dune limits from a professional soil scientist. The updated plan showed the shed repositioned behind the flagged dune line; the open side of the shed would face the path and stairs, or a ramp would be used for access.

The commission approved the shed with conditions: the structure must be elevated on helical piles, raised about 2–3 feet above grade to permit sand migration and vegetation growth, and vegetation must be restored where disturbed. Motion to approve with conditions: John Best; second: David Reed; vote: approved by voting members Thomas Robinson, John Best, Lilian Robinson and David Reed (Caroline Little and Sarah Toste were not present for this vote).
