Dock Permits and Replacement?

boccebay · 04-16-2015, 10:39 AM

Thank you for all of these suggestions. This information is encouraging especially because I would not consider my current L configuration acceptable for two boats which seems to be the minimum. By my estimate, the pier juts out about 12-15 feet and then takes a right and runs parallel to the shore. I can fit one boat on the outside and a jetski or whaler on the inside but certainly not anything of decent size. My hope is that i could fit two boats on the outside with a T configuration where the top of the T runs parallel to the shore.

I plan on calling Concord as well as a dock company for some advice. Since the project is not imminent, I have been hesitant to engage a dock company. The Center Harbor Dock and Pier Co. is very close to me. Have people enjoyed working with them and do you believe they would look at a project like this that is likely a year or more off from becoming a reality?

Since you have some time, it makes it easier. I did all my drawings, and had the dock (aluminum winch-out ) done by Winnipesaukee Island Services. Very happy with them, and love the new dock.

My advice on talking to Concord from the get-go was because that would have saved me some time..

The dredge/fill permits get submitted (5 copies) to town halls, which is really useful info that I didn't have...

Meeting face to face with DES and the Conservation commission was helpful.

Just received my approved permit from DES for a "U" shaped dock. Interestingly, the permit is good for only 5 years and has a specific expiration. I was not expecting any expiration. I have no idea what the process will be when it expires in 2020 as there is nothing I can find other than making another full re-submittal.

I believe that means you have 5 years to get the work done, not 5 years for the dock....

Ishoot is correct and if during that 5 year period you need additional work done you don't need to pay fee again.

OK...if that is the case, I'm good to go !!! Thanks for the clarification. The data from DES wasn't that clear at all.
