By Cape Cod Engineering Co. Assessor's map 64, parcel 3.The proposed maintenance and
replacement of existing gabion array with coir roll extension. Work will occur on a Coastal Bank,
in Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage, and in the Pleasant Bay ACEC.
Bob Perry from Cape Cod Engineering was present. He informed the Commission of his
site meeting with Greg Berman. Mr. Jannell read in portions of Mr. Berman's report and noted
a few highlights pertaining to obtaining a Chapter 91 license and certain potential special
Conditions. The Commission discussed storage of dock components and requested a Condition
requiring them to be stored somewhere other than the beach.The Commission was also
concerned with sand nourishment and asked for volume and frequency. Mr. Perry explained
the area would probably need periodic covering with sand. But it is hard to gauge up front as it
changes from year to year. Mr.Jannell suggested a Condition that allows for nourishment
within the NHESP time of year restriction should the area become exposed. Ms. Farber
requested that coverage calculations be written into the plan notes. Ms. Bruce voiced confusion
towards the placement of fiber rolls so close to the water. Mr. Perry explained the graphic on
the plan is somewhat skewed. He will blow up the plan for the next meeting so detail can be
more accurately represented. Mr.Jannell reiterated potential Special Conditions including a
time of year restriction from November 1st to April 1st;the access route to the bank will need to
be restored with native fescue; all sand used for nourishment will need to be compatible with
DEP guidelines; nourishment over the fiber roll array will be allowed if uncovered, volume not
to exceed a certain amount; nourishment will only be allowed if there is no determined
negative impact down drift of the property; no work can be done below mean high water
without a Chapter 91 license; and the dock float will need to be stored more landward. He also
requested a cross section of the intersecting area of gabions and fiber rolls. He advised Mr.
Perry to try and include as many of those points in his site plan notes for the next meeting as
possible.
Motion:A motion to Continue the public hearing to the meeting on 1/28 was made by Ginny
