The policy covers items such as stakes, rocks, hedges, and other property that extends into public areas or obstructs sight lines. Property owners may request a license from the Board to keep an encroachment in place, but the minutes state there is no formal appeal process. The Board also authorized a housing-plan certification request, accepted land for the Sconset Wastewater Treatment Facility, and endorsed a recommended option for public restroom and Harbor Master building renovations.
