Waine moved to continue the hearing and to get in touch with John Shugrue to ask if definative plans have been completed. 3. Nantucket Airport Commission - SE48-349 - Nantucket Shipyard. Joseph Forns was present as the agent. Mr. Forns requested that the commission define this project as an emergency so that the Chapter 91 License could be issued as soon as possible. The commission voted not to consider this an emergency situation under the Wetlands Protection Act. The commission was concearned that there was not a spill contingency plan to review and that plans that were submitted for the design of the project were not stamped by an engineer. Mr. Forns assured the commission that a letter of adequacy from the Captain of the Port of Providence U.S.C.G. would be filed with the commission before construction began and that this report would contain all the final plans of design and method of construction along with a spill contingency plan. The commission was also concearned with how temporary the structure really would be and the need to have reviews of the project periodically to assure that this method of fuel transportation should continue. The durability of the system was addressed and suggestions were made from Prentice Clauflin and Peter Kaizer to have the structure removed during the winter months. 4. Earle M. Craig Jr. - Kimball Ave. - Leon Sherburne Jr., the agent for the applicant requested that the commission continue the hearing until the fall of 1986 as new plans for construction and location Town of Nantucket Conservation Commission Town and County Building Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 will be submitted at that time. The commission voted to have Mr. Sherburne to withdraw his Notice of Intent and to file a new Notice of Intent at a later date. 5. Commonwealth of Massachusetts - Madaket Boat Ramp - The commission voted to continue the hearing for a file number to be issued from DEQE. 6. Stephen Karp - SE48-348. The project is located at Shimmo Point in Madaket. The project calls for a 4' by 222' pier. David Anderson from Braman Engineering Company was present as the agent. - L. Dunn asked Mr. Anderson if the pier is considered to be on public land and if the public will have access to the pier. Douglas Cameron also from Braman Engineering addressed this question stating that only abbutters to the beach may construct piers and the piers may only be constructed so that the public will have access under the pier but the pier itself is only for private use. The commission asked the agent to address the issue of scenic views. Mr. Anderson stated that there are many piers in the area and Mr. Karp's neighbor has a pier which is 145 feet longer than this proposed pier. The commission asked Mr. Anderson if a shellfish inventory had been done. Mr. Anderson stated that one had not been done as the project did not call for any dredging. Diane Coombs was present representing the Shellfish Advisory Board raised six issues on why SHAB feels the project should be denied. (1) This area had the highest yield of scallop seed last year. (2) Nantucket is one of the few areas ehere scallops are free of MPX disease and the seeds in this area could be critical for restocking other areas that have been killed by the disease. (3) The pier will effect the growth of Eel grass in the area which is critical for the scallop beds. (4) The length of the pier will not allow enough room for fishing boats to manuver between the two piers for towing of scallop dredges. (5) This area is very popular for family scalloping as the water is only 5 ft. deep. The pier will interfere with this activity. (6) The pier will be subject to damage by ice movements in the winter months. Town of Nantucket Conservation Commission <;/g/g~ Town and County Building Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 L.
