Summary

The planning board conditionally approved a proposed recreational dock, ramp and seasonal float at Kennebec Shores, requiring the Harbormaster's written confirmation within five days as a condition of final approval.

A representative for Flycatcher LLC presented plans for a 6‑by‑12‑foot pier pinned to ledge, a seasonal ramp and a 10‑by‑20‑foot seasonal float, along with access landings and stairs through a vegetated path. The proposal included agency consultation: Inland Fisheries and Wildlife flagged an eagle nest but determined it fell well outside the 600‑foot buffer, and the Harbormaster provided conditional, preliminary support pending an in‑person inspection.

The board voted to conditionally approve the application on the condition that the Harbormaster provides his written, signed acknowledgement of non‑objection or inspection confirmation within five days. As with other shoreland projects, the applicant must also secure any state or federal permits required for dock work and submit photos within 20 days of completion.
