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.

3. Add New Section 300.14.B.9. Standards

9. See Table 4a for maintenance provisions for dwelling additions and rebuilds within the 50 foot setback zone
on developed, moderately developed, and undeveloped barriers.

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.
