The proposed design for the marina includes replacing and raising the timber pier by --18 inches;
raising the parking lot by three (3) feet; and constructing a sheet -pile bulkhead (retaining wall).
The removal of one tree at the bottom of the bank is necessary to accommodate the retaining
wall. A small ramp from the new timber pier requires a redesign of the parking lot. The proposed
parking lot increases the number of parking spaces from eighteen (18) to twenty (20), plus one
(1) parking space accessible to people with disabilities.
The proposed twenty (20) parking spaces reaches the threshold for the in -lot trees requirement in
the zoning bylaw: 301.4. E Parking lots,for hventy (20) or more cars shall contain at least one (1 j
tree of ti" (three inch) caliper or larger per tight (8) cars, to he located within the parking area
in soil plots not less than S' ivide and allowing not less than forty (40) square feet of unpati'ed
soil area per tree... Trees along the outside perimeter of the parking area shall not be considered
in -lot trees. In -lot trees shall be dispersed throughout the parking area.
The vehicular traffic within the marina parking lot includes large pickup trucks, box trucks, and
tractor -trailers. The in -lot trees requirement would increase the number of obstructions for these
vehicles and increase the difficulty of maneuvering safely within the parking lot.
'While more trees planted within the parking lot is preferred, the Board recognized that the
marina resilience improvements require the elevation of the timber wharf and the parking lot,
and necessitate changes to the parking lot design. The Board believed that the grant of a Special
Permit as requested by the petitioner would not cause any undue hazard, nuisance or congestion,
nor would it be detrimental to the current or future character of the neighborhood or Town.
Accordingly, a motion was made by Mr. Fraprie seconded by Mr. Mantoni, to grant the Special
Permit, as requested. The members voted as follows: Mr. Martin: AYE; Mr. Fraprie: AYE; Mr.
Mantoni: AYE; Ms. Murphy: AYE; Chairman Igoe: AYE. The motion was voted 5-0 in favor.
Therefore, the Special Permit was approved.
A motion was made by Mr. Fraprie and seconded by Mr. Mantoni to withdraw the Variance
without prejudice. The members voted as follows: Mr. Martin: AYE; Mr. Fraprie: AYE; Mr.
Mantoni: AYE; Ms. Murphy: AYE; Chairman Igoe: AYE. The motion was voted 5-0 in favor.
Therefore, the Variance was withdrawn without prejudice.
No permit shall issue until 20 days from the filing of this decision with the Town Clerk. Appeals
from this decision shall be made pursuant to MGL c40A section 17 and must be filed within 20
days after filing of this notice/decision with the Town Clerk. Unless otherwise provided herein,
the Special Permit shall lapse if a substantial use thereof has not begun within 24 months. (See
bylaw § 103.2.5, MGL c40A §9)
