Motion: Mr. McKay moved to continue the hearing at the request of the applicant to <br /> March 10, 2016 @ 6:09 p.m., seconded by Mr. Rogers. Vote unanimous <br /> 6:03 Leslie A. Wagner Caffyn, 10 Popponesset Island Road. Proposed <br /> removal/replacement of two cedar trees, construction/maintenance of landscape <br /> retaining wall, landscape improvements and mitigation plantings. NOI <br /> Resource Area: Coastal Bank, Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage, Salt Marsh, <br /> Land Under Ocean, Coastal Beach. <br /> Matt Costa, Cape and Island Engineering, represented the applicant. He explained the <br /> proposed project is the removal of two cedar trees and to install new cedar trees at the top of <br /> the bank, the construction and maintenance of a 133' landscape retaining wall and voluntary <br /> mitigation plantings located upland of the existing licensed stone revetment on the west side <br /> and the repair of lawn area on the east side. A soft solution was attempted on the bank <br /> along the west side where the retaining wall is proposed and did not perform as anticipated. <br /> They are going to put a mat on the bank and then put grass plugs in there. It is a way to <br /> make sure the bank gets stabilized. The installation of the wall will stabilize the entire bank <br /> and will also protect the existing dwelling. <br /> Mr. Costa noted previous approvals included work to the dwelling and septic system and are <br /> not part of this application. On the east side is a stone revetment and sink holes are forming. <br /> What they are proposing is to remove the soil on the backside and put a filter cloth down and <br /> layer with stones then put a filter cloth on top and re-loam and reseed. He said they meet the <br /> performance standards and respectfully request the commission issue an order of conditions. <br /> The Agent noted the orders are still open on the plan that was previously approved. The <br /> mitigation hasn't taken place. He said the dwelling is pre 1978 and they can armor their bank <br /> in the interest of storm damage protection. He noted the shrubs on the bank are not going to <br /> survive on the long term. The project does meet the performance standards. It is an eroding <br /> vegetated bank. He noted the seepage that has been happening and said there is a lot of <br /> sink holes forming and the proposal to remedy this is a standard operating procedure. <br /> Matt said they are going to take a detailed look at the best type of plantings for this job so it is <br /> a full bank maintenance project. He noted all the work on the bank will be done by hand. <br /> No comments from the public <br /> Motion: Mr. McKay moved to Close and Issue, seconded by Mr. Rogers.
