NOI Resource Area: Inland Bank, Land under Waterbodies, Ashumet Pond Matt Costa, Cape and Islands Engineering, represented the applicant. The proposed project is to remove landscape stone steps and retaining walls and install two new retaining walls in similar locations and a new 12 by 54 foot deck which will run the entire length of the back of the house. There will also be stairs down the bank. He also noted the pitch pine will need to be removed because it is leaning towards the house. He pointed out where these' changes are to be made in photos provided. They will replant the bank and make it more stable. Mr. Costa said he delineated the resource area and calculated the 50 foot buffer on the plan which triggers a waiver requirement. They calculated mitigation which includes a new impervious area along the backside of the house. The replanting of the bank was not included in the mitigation. The mitigation area is located to the south of the property and they will also be adding a couple of cedar trees which meets the mitigation requirements. They are not doing any other alterations to the house except for enclosing the existing deck. 1
