The Marion Conservation Commission met in the Marion Police Station on June 10 for two approvals of Certificates of Compliance, as well as a continued Public Hearing for pier alterations.
The commission began with their continued Public Hearing for a Notice of Intent submitted by Elizabeth H. O’Leary of 81 Cove Circle for the removal and replacement of a timber float. Matt Leone of Schneider, Davignon & Leone, Inc. represented the applicant, whose 4.13-acre property consists of a single-family home, detached garage, and pile-supported pier into Wings Cove (near Piney Point).
The proposed project would see the removal of an existing 12×24 foot, bottom-anchored timber float, as well as its connections, and replace this pier support with four 12-inch diameter timber piles driven into the sea floor, which will in turn support a new wooden float.
The representative stated the sea zone is mapped by MassWildlife’s National Heritage and Endangered Species Program, which had indicated the work being proposed on the pier would not adversely affect the environment. Following no public comments, the Public Hearing was closed and work was approved.
Next, the commission voted on the approval of two Certificates of Compliance, one for 122 Register Road and one for 546 Point Road. Both were approved and granted.
The next meeting of the Marion Conservation Commission is scheduled for Wednesday, June 24 at 7:00 pm in the Marion Police Station’s conference room.
