APPLICATIONS REQUIRING SPECIAL EXCEPTION BEFORE THE FULL COUNCIL FOR REVIEW AND FINAL DECISION:

2020-05-068 UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND GRADUATE SCHOOL OF OCEANOGRAPHY (TRUSTEES OF STATE COLLEGES) -- Replace the existing University of Rhode Island (URI) Narragansett Bay Campus (NBC) pier, which is located near the southwestern mouth of Narragansett Bay, at the terminus of Pier Road in Narragansett. URI has been selected by the National Science Foundation to operate a new class of research vessel. This new vessel, the R/V Resolution will be home-ported at the NBC pier. The existing NBC pier was constructed circa 1963 and has exceeded its intended design life. The existing pier also has limited capacity to support the new, 200 ft. long research vessel. Accordingly, the NBC pier will be demolished and replaced with a somewhat larger and more elevated pier as detailed on the project plans. A 180 s.f. building similar to the building on the existing pier and a jib crane will be located on the proposed pier. Located at the URI Bay Campus, 215 South Ferry Road, plat N-C, Lot 7&8, Narragansett, RI.

Request for executive session pursuant to RIGL § 42-46-5(a)(2), litigation, discussion on Champlin's Realty Associates v. Lemont Supreme Court appeal.
