Conversation Starters
Raising Houses
The historic district commission’s site visit to 73 Commercial St. on Oct. 4 is to better understand the changes required to accommodate raising the house there by 4 feet 7 inches. It’s in FEMA’s velocity zone. The piers on which the house will sit will be concealed by cedar “breakaway boards” that will give way to breaking waves or floodwaters in the event of a major storm, according to the application.
Watch for Dredgers
The conservation commission is asking for any sightings of hydraulic dredge fishing boats at Herring Cove to be reported to the town’s new conservation agent, Melyssa Millett, with photos. Her email is [email protected]. —Paul Benson
