Planning board approves Curran shoreline restoration with tapered‑end design
Summary
The planning board approved Jack and Pat Curran’s shore restoration and riprap revetment application for 12 C Street after reviewing DEP findings and a coastal geologist’s letter stating tapered ends reduce end‑effect erosion.
Representatives for Jack and Pat Curran presented a revised revetment plan to restore shoreline stability at 12 C Street after storm damage. The applicant supplied a DEP permit‑by‑rule approval and a letter from a State coastal geologist; the design uses tapered ends and a curved profile intended to reduce end‑effect erosion and conform to shoreland standards.
The applicant’s consultant pointed out the DEP finding that the plan "will not cause unreasonable erosion of soil or sediment" and emphasized the design features that informed that finding. The board completed its findings of fact, recorded recusals where appropriate and voted to approve the revised application as presented (February 18 revision). The permit will be conditioned on the applicant securing any additional state or federal permits required for work seaward of the highest astronomical tide.
