Several Rockport businesses are asking town permission to either demolish and rebuild offices, expand their offices, or, in the case of Rockport Marine, to expand boat-hauling capacity. The Planning Board will consider those requests Nov. 16, at a regularly scheduled meeting that begins in the Opera House downstairs meeting room at 5:30 p.m.
Preceding the meeting, the board will meet at 4:30 p.m. in West Rockport at Gosline Insurance, for a site walk, and then at the harbor, at Rockport Marine, for another site walk at 5 p.m.
Rockport Marine, acting as Fish and Chips LLC, wants to acquire a larger travel lift, and to do so, the business needs to construct a new pier to accommodate the axle width of that new lift.
Rockport Marine is at 1 Main Street, on Rockport Harbor, and is a four-season boatyard that builds and maintains sail and power vessels. The property is in Section 913 Downtown zoning district, and requires a review consistent with the town’s Coastal Waters and Harbor Ordinance.
The project also includes reinforcing an existing pier.
The board will also conduct a preliminary site plan review of a G & G Realty proposal to tear down an existing building at 668 Rockland Street, in West Rockport near the routes 1 and 90 intersection, and build a new office building measuring 1,860 square feet in size.
Plans include reconfiguring the site, which is in Section 906, a mixed business residential district, adding parking areas and establishing driveways to the business on Route 90 and Route 17.
The old building, a farmhouse, would be replaced with a new building, constructed further back on the land. Existing curb cuts would be used. There would be a nine-space (eight arerequired) stone-based parking area. The new building would have a pitch roof, porch, new foundation plantings and a new sign, according to Oct. 26 Planning Board minutes.
And, the board will also conduct a preliminary site plan review of 330 Commercial LLC to add on to the existing building at 195 Commercial Street (on Route 1 near the intersection of Route 90).
On the Water in Maine, a vacation rental agency, wants to expand its facility to add a laundry room and more office space. The building is in Section 906, a mixed business residential zone.
