Hi Kelly,
Thank you for the information. Unfortunately we'll be visiting our son in Germany during the first week of
August. Can I get on the agenda for next meeting, 08/15/19?
As for the existing dock, who do I contact to find out if there is a license for the dock, and where would I find
rules/regulations on docks?
Thanks again,
Jim

Based on your comments below there appears to be some confusion about the process.
You are responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approvals for work on your property. The Building Dept
provides a checklist of different departments that they will require sign off from to receive your building permit but this
does not remove your responsibility to obtain any other permits or approvals.
From your comments it sounds like the Contractor is referring to Old Kings Highway (OKH) permitting when he speaks
about the visibility of the project from the street, as they are seeking to maintain the historic character of the
district. The Old Kings Highway approvals process is distinct from the building permit, and Conservation Commission
approvals processes.
Building permits are issued in accordance with the Massachusetts building code and are always required for this type of
work.
