Petitioner Presentation:
Bill Thomas, Morrison Contractors explained that the plans were submitted to the
Army Corp. of Engineers and were approved.
Public Comments:
Diane Matthewman, 1109 Bel Air Drive, Unit 5 — I would like to see a picture.
What size is the boat? Are there going to be more boats? This is directly in from
of my view. Do we have a say? I was told that boat lifts are not allowed. Chair
Stern explained that boat lifts are allowed under the code.
Member Clark left the meeting as this time.
Joseph Cannizzaro, 1121 Bel Air Drive — Where I live there are four townhouses
with four families. This property is directly opposite of the applicant's property.
I oppose the construction of the 20,000 lb. cradle boat lift. It will be an eyesore.it
will ruin the tranquil vision from our patio. (Distributed photos that he had
taken.) It will increase the feeling that we have from a little marina to a boat yard.
I have never seen the large boat move;the other boat is used rarely.
Vice Chair Mendelson explained that there are ordinances of the Town. If a
resident does not agree with the code, it should be expressed to the Town
Commission, who has the authority to make such changes.
