A request by Martin O'Boyle for final site plan review for construction of a new single family dwelling on property described as Lot 6, Hidden Harbour Estates and located at 19 North Hidden Harbour. Mr. Mayer, Planning Board Chairman, indicated that this item would be deleted from the agenda because the applicant did not submit his comp- leted drawings for final site plan review by the Planning Board. B. Mr. Mayer also mentioned that the final plans for the Von Esson residence had been reviewed and approved for issuance of the building permit. 6. Discussion on dredging. At this time Mayor Koch stated that Mr. Tom Campbell of Arthur Strock & Co. was present, and that there was still some problem in obtaining the dredging permit. Mayor Koch asked for a presentation as to where we stand with the DER. Mr. Campbell said that they have re- applied for a permit to dredge to -5 NGVD. They fully expect an approval on this within a few weeks. The DER would have required a hearing to dredge to -6 NGVD, along with addi- tional studies and time delays. He had recommended to go for the -5 NGVD because of this. The plan to dredge to -6 NGVD is justified if the Town should wish to pursue this further, either now or at some later tune. The Mayor and Town Commission agreed to go for the -5 NGVD and to secure the permit. The Mayor was concerned about the 5 foot berm and the 1 on 5 slope. A. Would the berm slough off into the channel anyway? Mr. Campbell said that it was his feeling that if they dredged with a 1 on 5 slope, the berm should be stable. B. The Mayor indicated his displeasure with the 5 foot berm, indicating that this in many ways negates the concept that was originally put forth; that is, to provide berthing depth for small boats. The Mayor said he felt this might be a "cop -out" on the part of the engineer, who doesn't want to take liability for this item. Mr. Campbell responded that he was asked to advise the Town what was a safe dredge depth and at what distance from the bulkheads. The answer is a 5 foot berm and the 1 on 5 slope. However, it is probable that a number of sea- walls, that one could determine whether or not they could support themselves if the berm were removed from in front of them. A number of factors, such as tiebacks, pile and slab and deadmen, stage of corrosion of individual steel elements within the concrete, that will determine if the seawall could hold if the berm were removed from in front of it. Town Cannission Meeting Minutes, December 11, 1983 page 3 i- Mr. Campbell said that the Strock firm had suggested that, if this was not acceptable, a waiver might be obtained from the individual owners who desire to have their boat slips deeper or require dredging for some other reason (such as smelly berm that becomes exposed at low tide). The Mayor found a problem with the scheme in that he felt that all this additional silt in the canals would work its' way around and shallow up other dredged areas. In addition, he felt that maneuverability within the canals would be affected by dredged and undredged areas. Mr. Campbell said that the Strock firm may be going beyond what they were asked to do in suggesting a solution to the berm dredging /liability problem. A solution to the problem is the Town's responsibility. The engineer is just suggesting one way in which the Town could be protected from a liabil- ity standpoint and still achieve what appears to be the desired result (to have navigable canals and boat slips for those who want to use a boat within their canals). At this time the general concensus from the members of the audience was that they also would be opposed to the design which would leave an exposed berm at low tide. It was suggested that the engineers redesign the canal dredging and submit new drawings as soon as possible so as to expedite the project. Mr. Campbell said that we would be willing to work with the Town to achieve an equitable solution. The Mayor was interested in what other towns did who administered a dredging program of interior canals. Did they worry about a berm? Did they use a 2 foot berm or a 1 foot berm, or did they obtain waivers? Mr. Campbell did not know the answer to this problem as to what is done in other cities. The Mayor comiented he didn't feel he should be doing engineering for the engineer. Mr. Campbell said that it would be of interest to know how other towns handle this problem, from the town's perspective. However, our opinion as to what we feel would be a safe berm and a safe slope does not change, based on what the findings are of this investigation. The only thing that might change is the risk that the Town may be willing to take relative to the liability of dredg- ing in front of the individual lots. Regardless of what other conmmities have done, we have recd Tended a 5 foot bean and a 1 on 5 slope here. Our design can easily be adjusted to accarodate those owners who feel that dredging should occur in front of their property to the depth that they prescribe. If the Town feels that this solution is unworkable for one reason or another, they can suggest others. The Mayor said that his processing has gone on long enough and that he wants - sone firm answers from staff and the engineer by next week as to the way to proceed on this project. Town Commission Meeting Minutes, December 11, 1983 page 4 7. Discussion on Long Range Planning Project. Mr. Gaynn presented a report from Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, Inc. including a preliminary plot plan layout for the Phipps property and pre- liminary cost estimates on other Town projects to be included in the up- coming bond issue. He stated that the items and cost estimates proposed for bond issue inclusion were: - Water System Improvements - $115,000 - Road Improvements - 269,000 - Phipps Property Loan - 265,000 - Barnett Bank Loan - 60,000 - Phipps Property Improvements- 327,000 After considerable discussion regarding the canal dredging project, it was determined to add to the list of proposed projects the Town's financial involvement in the project of 30% of the dredging cost to a maximum dollar figure of $240,000 toward canal dredging and improvements. Mr. O'Brien asked if all the items discussed and proposed by the Long Range Planning Committee had been included in the bond issue project list. It was determined that an information meeting should be held to review the items and cost estimates. Mr. Randolph stated that tentative approval of the projects for the bond issue was needed today and that each item should be listed separately within the overall bond issue on the ballot. After further discussion and upon a motion by Mr. Pfeifler and second by Mr. Dixson, the projects and cost estimates as proposed were approved to be included in the bond issue. The amount of the bond was then discussed and upon a motion by Mr. Pfeifler and second by Mr. Dixson, a bond limit figure of 1.6 million dollars was established and approved. 8.
