Mr. Coolidge noted the Board had received a letter from Peter Blanchard, abutter.
Mr. Jewett reviewed the two new drawings which showed the shared riparian line and the fact that the proposed dock does not meet the required setback.  He and Mr. Tracy looked at the location and significance of the pins.
The motion to approve the application was made at the July 26, 2004 meeting.
        
The Standards of Section 6 of the LUZO, as amended March 2, 2004, were reviewed and found to be in conformance, as noted on the application.
The regular members present plus Robert Coolidge, alternate, were the voting members for this hearing.

A VOTE WAS CALLED AND THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 5-0.

Mr. Tracy was still concerned about a corner pin shown on the drawings.  Mrs. Cocks said she owned to the right of it.  Mr. Tracy said he did not read it as a corner pin because it was 39 feet away from the high water line.  Mr. Jewett said his interpretation was that no one owned the beach and that the surveyor did it.  Mr. Hamor pointed out that the Board had the approval letter from the abutter.  Mr. Tracy said it didn’t look right to him because the Cocks own to the high water mark.

IV.~~~~~~New Business

Mr. Hamor said Mr. Dunbar was submitting an application for a subdivision so that the Board could issue a date of receipt and start the process. Mr. Dunbar showed the Board the plan and survey.

V.      Meeting adjourned at 6.28 p.m.  The next scheduled meeting/public hearing(s) is at 6:00 p.m., Monday, August 23, 2004in the Meeting Room, Town Hall, Northeast Harbor. ~
