Applications which have been Out-To-Notice and are before the Full Council for Decision:

2014-10-125 JILL AND JEAN WESTCOTT -- Construct and maintain a residential boating facility consisting of a fixed timber pier with davits, ramp and 10 x 15’ (150sf) terminal float extending 75’ seaward of the cited MLW mark, requiring a 25’ length variance to RICRMP Section 300.4. Located at plat 182, lot 15; 153 Poppasquash Road, Bristol, RI.

2014-08-006 ASC REALTY CO., LLC: Remove the existing steel marine railway system being used as boat storage and laydown area adjacent to 500 metric ton (MT) Travel lift; bulkhead and fill this area to provide needed laydown/storage. The bulkhead system shall be a steel H- Pile and concrete lag system anchored in the shallow bedrock. The filled area will be used to locate a permanent boat wash down station. The project will widen the 500 MT travel lift pit from 37 ft – 45 ft and increase the length by about 30 ft by the demolition of the existing north pier leg and the construction of a new pier located 8 ft to the north. The south pier will also be extended 30 ft. The proposal will add a pile supported pier to create a 200 MT Marine Travel lift which would share the eastern 100 Ton pier as its western pier. The proposal includes proposed maintenance or over sheeting of 154 ft of existing steel bulkhead with a new driven steel sheetpile bulkhead. This repair will tie into and match the repair previously made immediately to the north. At the northeast area of the site we propose to undertake maintenance to replace the failing wooden bulkhead with concrete lagging wall 15 ft to west in area of current wooden decking. The existing wooden pier will be removed. To facilitate stackable boat storage and also additional laydown/storage a new pile supported concrete pier will be constructed in the area between the 500 MT and 200 MT travel lift piers and the west bulkhead of the marine railway fill area. The existing floats and access ramps in this area will be reconfigured to match the new fixed pier configuration. Public access will be improved/accommodated by installing a new float located in this northeast area. Located at plat 16, lot 235;1 Washington Street, Newport, RI.
