Gordon Ripma, agent for Richard DeWitt, and Larry Shaw, of
Marine Construction, Inc. were present in representation. Mr.
Ripma reminded the Board that the above-referenced application
was tabled at the October 21, 1991 Zoning Board of Adjustment
meeting and related to the Board the sequence of events which
have occurred since that time. Agencies such as DERM, DNR and
the Army Corps of Engineers had been contacted regarding the
proposed dock with a final verbal approval from them of 138
feet. The Board contested the verbal agreement and the 138
feet.
Attorney Randolph reminded the Board that the Village does
have the authority to make the final determination and stated
that the Village, if it wanted to involve itself, could write
a letter- to- DERM explaining , its, concerns regarding.- the . -
differences between DERM and the municipality regarding dock
lengths. He also reminded the Board that the question of the
dock is more, than a length decision, but also a decision of
the size of the terminus.

4 ' x 125' dock or pier with a 20' terminal platform, with the
dock no higher than the existing sea wall. There was no
second.

that the adjacent lot have a Deed Restriction to preclude
another dock from the property to the east, and that a
variance be granted for the square footage, as necessary, to
accommodate what has been stated. Boardmember DeMott seconded
the motion. The vote on the motion was:
Alfred DeMott - for
Edward Nelson - for
John Turner - for
William Kirkland - against
Kenneth Northamer - against
the motion therefore passed and was adopted.
