Good morning Commissioners,
I am submi ng the following a achments into the record for 30 Oxford Drives as they pertain to SE3-5062, to try and
help clarify what was allowed under the permit. Our office had been contacted by Mr. Landi, a property manager for the
owner at that me, to see what could be maintained regarding the dock at 30 Oxford Drive. This was a er the COC had
been issued. I apologize, that I do not have the specific date, however I do recall going to the property. A er reviewing
the COC request that had been submi ed in 2014, you can see the box was checked as only por ons of the project were
complete. Yes, the engineer submi ed an “as built, May 5th 2014” showing only a short sec on 11’ sec on was
constructed (a par al sec on). I took the photos during the site visit with Mr. Landi and noted that the property owner
could construct the full pier as noted in SE3-5062 (Please see the a ached photos). The sec on that was constructed was
not allowing the person to get beyond the exis ng vegeta on. At that me Mr. Landi stated the property owner was ok
with seeing how this worked. I had stated if it didn’t work for them, they could construct the rest of the dock, as it made
sense to me that the ongoing condi ons even men on CCA structural material and the sign facing open water….and here
the small sec on wasn’t even making it to open water.
It is usual prac ce to allow the applicant to maintain a dock that was permi ed. I understand a Commissioner stated
during the last hearing that it was never constructed. To that I would state, the Commission has always relied on staff to
make some judgement calls, when called to do so. I as the Agent did so at that me.
I support the proposed applica on as a seasonal dock. I would also state the property owner could fall back on the prior
permit and construct the dock as the approved plan dated Jan. 22, 2103, under a maintenance permit.
I hope this informa on helps to clarify things.
