Michael Borselli, Falmouth Engineering, was representing the applicants. Mr. Borselli <br /> noted this hearing was continued from 4123. Also present was Brent Totman from <br /> Maffei Landscaping. Mr. Borselli stated because of input from the staff the hearing was <br /> continued to allow time for submission of revised plans. He said this was a twin plan, <br /> the same as Mr. Thompson, an abutter. The commission granted permission to Mr. <br /> Thompson and the Vanderburgs are hoping to complete their project jointly. There <br /> were some issues raised because there were some alterations to the buffer zone. A <br /> small sandy beach had been created without permission and some vegetation had <br /> been removed. There was a request for more information regarding the areas to be <br /> restored. Mr. Totman will be discussing how the areas will be restored. Mr. Borselli <br /> went through the points discussed at the previous meeting. He said he believes the <br /> regulations allow for this project. He said a soft solution could be done but in his <br /> opinion, it won't last. He requested the commissioners grant the order of conditions. <br /> Mr. Totman, Landscape Contractor, said he looked at the site and the vegetation that <br /> was removed. He went through the area and there are not any invasive species. The <br /> main plant is Rosa Ragusa. Above the wall and below, native beach grass will be <br /> planted. In the area that was disturbed, beach grass will be planted. The concern is <br /> there is a lot of phragmites. He would like to do soil disruption so they do not <br /> encourage any germination of phragmites in the area. <br /> The Agent agreed with everything Mr. Borselli said regarding the type of bank: because <br /> the house was constructed prior to the cut off date, an armored bank is allowable under <br /> DEP's regulation. He said he still stands by his opinion that a soft solution would work, <br /> however, seeing that the commissioners approved hard armoring next door, it does <br /> make sense that they would issue a similar determination for this one since it has the <br /> exact same type of conditions. He also agreed with the type of vegetation Mr. Totman <br /> described. Overall the project meets the performance standards. He also likes the <br /> choice of beach grass because the areas are highly conducive to that type of planting. <br /> The Agent recommended a close and issue. <br /> Mr. Borselli stated a small excavator will be used for this project. A dock will be <br /> disassembled. They will run along the toe of the bank and remove the vegetation. The <br /> wall will be built only occupying the area directly at the toe of the wall and will be built in <br /> manageable sections. The same procedure will be duplicated at the Thompson <br /> property and then the dock will be reassembled. The stones are 2 to 3 ton stones and <br /> 18" diameter and not larger than 36" stones in various sizes. <br /> No comments from the public. <br /> Motion: Mr. Sweet moved to Close and Issue, seconded by Mr. Rogers.
