7:40 PM Susan Cody, 20 Driftwood Lane, Parcel ID No. 043-000C-010-000. A Request for Determination of Applicability to upgrade a septic system, in the buffer zone of the top of the coastal bank. J.

7:45 PM Bruce E. & Karen M. Gustafson, 85G Taylor Avenue, Parcel ID No. 045C-000-126-000. A Request for Determination of Applicability to construct a 2nd floor deck cantilevered over the existing coastal stone revetment.
Mark Flaherty of F& S, Inc. represented the applicant and explained the project. Mr. Flaherty presented a slightly different project asking for footings rather than cantilevered. He explained that the previous structural report was incorrect regarding the joist construction in the dwelling.

Consensus of the Commission was not to support footings.
