Mr. Furbush and Mr. Goldstein stepped down from this hearing. Mr. Bonvie was acting Chairman, and Board Member Mr. DeBarros, and Associates, Brad Pittsley, Mr. Gould and, Ms. Sangeleer were sitting on this hearing. Mr. Steve Cook, Cotuit Bay Design represented the home owners for this project. The home was built approximately in thel980's and the Kruzel's purchased the home in 2004. The house is located on Popponesset Island Road and backs up to Popponesset_Creek. There is currently a deck off the master bedroom and a screen porch off the dining room with a set of stairs going down to the yard. The homeowners would like to eliminate the screen porch, and push that back about 30 inches and make it part of the existing house. They would like to remove the master bedroom deck and reconfigure the deck layout. The deck encompasses the corner of the expanding dining room all the way to the family room. They would like to add a new set of stairs going down, and align them with the lower deck. Mr. Cook pointed out the "top of the coastal bank" on the site plan in the rear part of the property. The house has a walk-out basement. There's a set of stairs that lead up to a deck to access a walkway onto the dock. The existing deck is 35 feet from the edge of the wetlands, so this project is already non-conforming as stated in the bylaw from the 50 ft. buffer to the wetlands. The project would require to square off the deck, with a new set of stairs, and eliminate the deck off the master bedroom. The corner of the squared off deck would be 33 feet, the existing deck is 35 feet, and the base of the stairs is 32 feet. This will require getting 3 feet closer to the edge of the wetlands, but is at the edge of the berm. The existing deck is in rough shape and is not framed very well which is another reason to redo the deck. There's gravel and grass underneath the deck, and will not change anything in the zone between the wetlands and the house. The Conservation Agent does not have any issues,and there is a hearing scheduled for this project the next night. 3
