[MassHistPres] Question about waterfront facilities in a local historic district

[Tony Dias]

I would recommend that you reference FEMA – Home Builder’s Guide to Costal Construction Guide http://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/20130726-1538-20490-2983/fema499web_2.pdf

 

The other document would be the Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM) 110 MPH Exposure B Guide.  This Guide is recommended for the actual structure.

 

Hope this is what you’re looking for.

Subject: [MassHistPres] Question about waterfront facilities in a local historic district

 

The Westport Point Local Historic District is located at the end of a peninsula into the Westport River.   Many of the properties at the lower end of the peninsula have embankments, buttress walls and docks.  

 

What is the experience of other Historic District Commission when dealing with structures such as docks, piers, retaining walls, pilings, and waterfront buildings built on filled land or over water?

 

thank you, 

 

Jane Loos,

Member and Clerk, Westport Historical Commission
