“Thank you. Thank you. So follow-up, Zach. Relatedly, the Hemingway Shuttle, for example, says on their website right now it's 34 passengers is what it is. In the parking, the wet slip table, we have 30. So they would be required to put on their commercial land use certificate 30. And how would you practically enforce that? How do you ensure that the vessels are adhering to those limits?”

“Would you be willing, I don't know if we can even do this, but even like a sworn affidavit that you've reviewed the marketing material for every advertised vessel each year to ensure consistency with the commercial land use certificates?”

“Well, this is unique, and we've had unique issues that have been found here, which kind of leads me to the next line of thinking here, which is you've indicated that the All the vessels here are going to have to come to the level that is listed on this sheet. And I'm looking for, is the Princess on this? It's down at the bottom. It's down at the, why am I not seeing it? Oh, it's underneath there. So let's talk about the Princess. The parking that you have would be sufficient for 100 seats, correct? Correct. That you provided. What does the operational data that you have suggest the average…”

“So one of the things... if I'm understanding it correctly, is because of the bussing arrangement we're being asked to contemplate, that would enable the parking, or excuse me, the passenger capacity for the Princess to exceed the 100-person limit.”

“So right off the bat, we're being asked to consider an arrangement that would allow the vessel to exceed what would be on their commercial land use certificate. Is that a correct statement?”

“Okay. And we don't know how frequently that happens.”

“Right. And I guess that was... The reason I bring it up is because of the letter from the operator of the marina that we all received. And my understanding was you were trying to accommodate this through this arrangement, which is through, Dan, if I'm not mistaken, the pathway that you articulated, the sort of the planning board can consider alternative ways to meet the parking requirements.”

“I'll just say it would have been helpful to have, and it was under my impression you guys had the actual operational data. It would have been helpful to have that today because it was referenced in your April 21st letter. It would have been helpful to know how many instances were over 100. Putting that aside,”

“Understood. It was earlier mentioned that you gave the example of FWC having a boat stored there, and I think we also received a letter regarding potential other emergency response vessels. Obviously, for the reasons that were articulated, those aren't reflected. Their passenger counts aren't reflected because they're formulaically counted differently. Where are they? Are they in the wet slip non-charter category?”

“They are reflected. We're still seeing the letter.”

“It would be in the second data table, very first row I'm assuming. If you're looking at that.”

“That's what I thought. I just wanted to confirm that. Okay, you mentioned something a moment ago about the buses, the cap on the buses being a constraint effectively on the number of those large quantity of over 100 foot vessels converging at once. My question to you is, is there a scenario in which you could have all four vessels, thinking about the two over 100 in Factory Bay, the two over 100 that you're capping in Magnolia, on site at one time?”

“Who is hiring these buses, the operators of those vessels?”

“Are we setting up a potential enforcement conundrum where the person who's hiring a bus for their wedding party didn't talk to the person at the American Cruise Line and we have multiple buses converging in excess of the captain?”

“I want to talk about the Bend site for a few minutes. Obviously I think a lot of – I'll speak for myself and the people I saw comments from and I think you – we all have concerns over the 16-foot possibility of a screening going there that is of that length for if no other reasons than safety reasons, not to mention it would be an eyesore. I am struggling with the fact that the – Practical implication of what screening means is somewhat vague based on our code requirements. And I think your argument, and correct me if I'm wrong, is whether or not it can be distinguished in a meaningful way…”

“Well, and that was going to be my follow-up. Do you have any – I know Dan showed his AI rendering of an eight-foot fence with some palms. Do you have any reaction to that?”

“Well, no screening in practice in 1985. Sure. I understand that and I understand your position is different from staff. Staff is giving us a recommendation. They're giving us a condition which you disagree with and which I understand why you disagree with it and I'm sure many people living on Magnolia Court wouldn't want to see a 16-foot fence of that height. I get it. My follow-up question to you would be simply put this way. And I'm not saying we would grant this, but wouldn't it make practically more sense for you to have come in here with a variance request for the screening requirements…”

“No, I understand. But I guess I would ask you, Dan, if you were advising an applicant – would you suggest that they come in for a variance? In this instance, if they don't want to put up a 16 foot high fence?”
Planning Board · Jul 23, 2026

“But it is staff's interpretation that this direction, without the second condition that you've attached, which is the 16-foot high fence, is not compatible with the screening requirements.”

“All right. My final question for now is – and I appreciate you bearing with me, Zach. I know it's a lot. On the variances, I realize the variances did not change from where we were when we talked about this to now. But in contemplating them and discussing them further and in reviewing the variance section of our code, I realize that all of the variance requests you're asking for would still constitute an improvement over current conditions, and I'm perfectly willing to concede that, and an improvement over historically what's been at the site. My question to you is this. When we're evaluating…”

“Yeah, I did one quick thing, and I don't know if staff or Zach could help me here, but we've talked a lot about 488 in respect to the debarkation vessels. I'm looking at the code, a Munich code right here, Could someone point out the specific section that is dealing with and the language for the sort of alternative way to meet the parking requirements that the debarkation vessels engages upon?”

“Ah. Gotcha. That's what I figured it was. But on the... So there's two pathways, right? There's the, whether it's a use that's not specifically referenced below or it's such a, it's a use of a unique nature. In this category, or in this instance, it's falling into the second category?”
