Motion: Mr. Rogers moved a Negative Determination, seconded by Mr. McKay. Vote <br /> unanimous 5-0 <br /> 6:09 Jennifer Allen and Anthony Honaker, 55 Running Light Way. Proposed <br /> removal/reconstruction of a deck and stairs. (Abbreviated Notice of Intent) ANOI <br /> Resource Area: Buffer zone to freshwater wetland <br /> Robb Sykes, Eastbound Land Surveying, represented the applicants. He described the <br /> proposed project is to replace the existing deck and build a stairway for access from the <br /> second floor to the ground along with a rinse station. He said much of the site is brush and <br /> natural vegetation. All work is within 100' setback to the BVW. The Agent said Mr. Sykes <br /> used the mitigation chart for the new plantings. There is no tree removal or removal of <br /> natural vegetation but because it is encroaching closer it does trigger mitigation. No part of <br /> the project will affect the wetland. <br /> There was a discussion on a rinse station vs. a shower. It was recommended that Mr. Sykes <br /> meet with the Board of Health to determine if they have any requirements on the rinse station <br /> and suggested holding the issuance of the permit until that conversation takes place with the <br /> Board of Health. <br /> No comments from the public <br /> Motion: Mr. Anderson moved to Close and Issue subject to Board of Health approval, <br /> seconded by Mr. McKay. Vote unanimous 5-0 <br /> 6:12 Michael and Julie Rand, 58 Popponesset Island Road. Proposed construction of <br /> a pool, patio addition, landscape improvements and mitigation plantings. NOI <br /> Resource Area: Land Under Ocean, Salt Marsh, Armored Coastal Bank, Land Subject <br /> to Coastal Storm Flowage <br /> John O'Day, Sullivan Engineering, representing the applicants, explained the proposed <br /> project is to construct a pool and patio. All work is located within a level lawn area in the <br /> buffer to the coastal bank. The work should have no impact on the stability of the bank <br /> because the bank is fully armored by a stone revetment. The applicants are requesting a <br /> waiver because a portion of the work is being performed within the 50' buffer. The pool as <br /> proposed is approximately 40' from the coastal bank at the closest point. He described the <br /> mitigation planting plan which will enhance and expand the existing buffer strip. A blend of <br /> coastal grasses and three species of woody shrubs will improve the site. He noted he <br /> received correspondence from some of the abutters and the Rands have the intention of <br /> being good neighbors. The Agent read a letter from Clark Hill, 50 Popponesset Island Road, <br /> into the record. Mr. Hill listed his concerns: notification of abutters, location of pool <br /> equipment, type and appearance of the fence, types of plantings, construction methods. The <br /> Agent noted they did receive due notice in accordance with MGL and our bylaw standards. <br /> Work limits should be shown on the plan and the plan could be revised. He referred to the <br /> landscape plan for the types of mitigation proposed. There is a project narrative associated <br /> with the NOI. <br /> The Agent noted the commissioners can condition the Orders regarding the concerns about <br /> the armored coastal bank to make sure no destabilization of the coastal bank occurs. We do <br /> require the work limits be shown on the plan. He stated that mitigation would have a greater <br />
