Subject:RE: question for 200 Blue Rock Road dock modification
Hi Mark
Rick resigned as Chairman at the last meeting so Ed Hoopes is the chairman once again.
He is OK with an RDA for either option but the preference is for an engineer’s plan to show the changes. The extension
landward would require an engineer’s plan so both could be included in the same plan.
Thanks
Kelly

Thanks, Kelly.
Let me know what Rick says.
If we can do a sketch plan from the stamped record plan, then I'm sure all he'll do is the outer pile work.
I can put updated info on a sketch plan (as you have seen); it's just all done by me and without a formal instrument
survey.
After we hear back from Rick, we'll know.
Thanks.

Hi Mark
I think we will need at least an RDA either way. Having an updated engineers plan on file for the dock is
ideal but I have asked the chairman if he will accept a filing without one. I will let you know what he
says. Extending the dock landward would require a filing as it looks like work within the BVW?
Thanks

Hi Kelly;
As per my voice mail, attached are some pictures of Mr. Uppendahl's dock.
I also attached the recorded order and license for your records (the order is recorded against a different
certificate, and the license isn't in the town records.
As you can see, the outer platform is now too low for the latest tides.
What I am recommending him to do is remove the outer lower section of the dock and landing, and
then replace the piles with longer piles and raise that section to equal the beginning of the dock.
The only work in the water is to replace, or sleeve the 4 support piles; everything else is above the
water.
This doesn't change his license at all, or at the most it's a "minor project modification", where I send a
letter to DEP waterways and they file it.
Now, he has two options; he can replace the existing piles, or add to them.
Replacing them means removing the existing and putting longer piles right back in the same holes; no
disturbance.
If we add to them, I would slide fiberglass piles over the existing timber ones, and bolt them together.
So, two questions;
Is there a way to do this administratively, using the existing permit plan and license as the record plan.
Or, can it be done administratively if we just slide the fiberglass piles over the timber ones; the extra
cost of the fiberglass piles will be absorbed in the savings of a survey, plan, and NOI filing.
All the other work is "above" or over the resource area, not "in" it.

second question; it appears that the site has eroded to the point where the steps are the only thing
landward of MHW; I'd like to proposed taking out the steps and extending the dock landward so there's
5 feet of clearance under the stringers, and eliminate the stairs.
What would be needed to do that, if he wanted to?
The major goal is simply to raise the platform out of the water, if there's any way that can be done
administratively, then that's all he'll do.
Please advise,
Thank you.
