Chatham Conservation Commission The Annex 261 George Ryder Road MINUTES June 11, 2008 4:00 PM Work Session & Continued Hearings Page 4 of 6 Both the water and power lines are to be dug in from the pool area, through a coastal dune area following an existing path and will terminate in a junction box above mean high water (MHW). This will be a one-time permanent installation. Water and power lines from the junction box to the pier will be dug in seasonally each time the pier is installed. The purpose of the power lines is to supply the Inn’s boats electrical amenities between trips and to install lighting on the pier. Since the pier was not intended to be used at night, the Commission questioned the need for lighting which is not generally permitted within a primary resource area. Artificial lighting in the inter-tidal and near-shore areas is known to disrupt the normal activity of marine animals which depend upon theses areas for breeding. The Commission was willing to discuss minimal lighting on a trip switch should someone access the pier at night. However, the applicant decided to withdraw the lighting of the pier from their proposal, and the Commission closed the hearing. 149 Deep Hole Road, Terry, SE 10-: Jay Putnam will draft a comment letter, after review of he one sent in February 2008.
