Applications requesting an Extension of existing Assent:

1990-10-040 PAUL & CATHERINE NEVILLE (originally Water Street Realty Trust) – Applicant
requesting 2nd Full Council approval extension. Project location of plat 21, lot 4;
Sakonnet Estates, Portsmouth, RI.

Applications which have been Out to Notice for 30 days and are before the Full Council for
Decision:

1973-08-015 NANCY GILBANE – To alter the design of the floating dockage at an existing
residential boating facility. As initially permitted in 1994 the floating dock consisted of
a 200 square foot (20’ x 10’) float that extended 35 +/- feet seaward of the fixed pier. In
2004 the design was modified to allow the use of a 33’ x 4’ access float which extended
40 +/- feet seaward of the fixed pier and which was used to access a 20’ x 6’ float and a
20’ x 4’ float (total SF 200 SF). The applicant now seeks permission to alter the
float design as shown on the attached plans. The design calls for the installation of two
20’ x 5’ floating docks and a 26’ x 6’ float for a total terminal float SF of 356 SF. The
new float arrangement will extend 40’ +/- feet seaward of the fixed pier and 75’ +/-
beyond MLW. The proposed design is variant to RICRMP Standard 300.4.E.3.d by 206
square feet. Project location: plat 26, lot 20; 140 Adams Point Road, Barrington, RI.

2004-11-064 BEACHFRONT, LLC – Construct an 8,600 square foot, 18 room, hotel; associated
storm-water management; and landscaping. The hotel is proposed to be elevated above
the 100-year flood zone elevation. The hotel will be serviced by municipal water and
sewer system. Located at plat 116NW, lots 11, 12; 1 Wave Avenue/Second Beach,
Middletown, RI.

These are for typical maintenance activity reviews. In unusual circumstances, the Executive Director may
invoke the maintenance provision allowances of Section 300.14.

*On Moderately Developed and Undeveloped Barriers, only in-kind maintenance is allowed. If a lot can
support it, the structure may be moved back and up (FEMA-compliant). However, in-kind rebuild is still only
allowance.
