Conservation Commission questions proposed Cotuit Bay dock
Bronwen Howells Walsh
After a four-hour meeting Wednesday, the Barnstable Conservation Commission voted to continue for a fourth time a polarizing proposal to build a pier, ramp and dock in a strictly regulated shellfish overlay district in Cotuit Bay.
Donald MacKinnon, a trustee of Oyster Place Realty Trust, has applied for a special permit to remove 3,000 square feet of an existing historic, solid fill wharf first licensed in 1874.
In its place, MacKinnon proposes building low vinyl bulkheads, relocating existing rock, installing a replacement pier, ramp and floats, and building a seasonal town office building on a 15-x-30-ft. deck at 33 Oyster Place Rd. and 910 Main St. in Cotuit.
