Charge the Shellfish Advisory Board to contact and work with the Marina Advisory Committee, The Beach Department, the Harbormaster, The Natural Resources Advisory Board, the Conservation
Board Member Wilson Moved; Board Member Wolf Seconded; and it was voted to charge the Shellfish Advisory Board to contact and work with the Marina Advisory Committee, The Beach Department, the Harbormaster, The Natural Resources Advisory Board, the Conservation Commission and all upland and intertidal abutters including the Field Point Association to develop recommendations for the use of the undeveloped parcels south of parcel 17.49 within the property known as the HDYLTA and to complete their work by December 31, 2021. It was discussed about having that many people together to make a decision. Taylor explained they are not discussing vehicles on the beach or changes, they are discussing 7.1 acres. One person from each committee to give some input would be more than sufficient. It's not a large area that is being discussed. It needs to be kept lean in order to get this job done.
The minutes give the count as "4-0", counting the recusal. Michael DeVasto stepped aside (recused) and did not take part in this vote.
