Selectmen Note Ramos Permission for Expanded Kayak Launch at Webb’s Cove

Town Manager Billings informed the Selectmen that the Ramos family has granted permission for additional kayak launch space at the south end of Webb’s Cove, supplementing the existing tin-building launch. The update appeared across multiple meetings and the board discussed logistics to prepare the site.

TM Billings said she is contacting surveyor Linda Campbell to confirm boundary lines and marker flags and asked for volunteers to help with cleanup and grading the area. Selectman John Robbins offered to assist with the cleanup work. The board discussed signage, gates and rules for users; TM asked for help from guides and volunteers to monitor the space so it stays clean and usable.

The matter has been handled administratively as a settlement with the landowners (the Ramos family) rather than an ordinance change. The board also referenced potential porta-potty needs and arrangements to keep the launch tidy during the season.

No formal town appropriation or ordinance amendment was recorded in the transcript; the town manager will follow up with a survey and a plan to present to the board when site preparations are ready.
