2 Dan Wells, Goddard Consulting, represented the applicant along with Mike Coutu from Sudbury Design Group. As requested by the Commission at the hearing on January 8, 2015, the applicant reviewed the approved project mitigation plan at the time when the house was originally constructed. After reviewing the plan, it was determined that all mitigation plantings for that project were to be installed within the coastal bank and that the proposed project will not alter any mitigation plantings from the house construction project. Mr. Wells explained the modifications that Sudbury Design Group made to the plan. The proposed wood terrace and pool were relocated two feet toward the house and away from the coastal bank resource area. The pool is 8 feet from the house foundation. this change allows for an additional area of mitigation plantings in the buffer zone adjacent to the top of the coastal bank. The proposed fence has been moved further up the coastal bank and will be adjusted during installation to minimize disturbance to any vegetation. The plan is proposed to transplant any existing native plants to minimize disturbance to existing vegetation. The Agent reiterated the resources areas. He said what is being proposed in the areas of coastal dune and land subject to coastal storm flow is entirely a resource area enhancement (mitigation plantings). A fence will be installed on the coastal bank and will not result in any alteration of the coastal bank. There will be no adverse effect to any of the resource areas. The Agent stated the project is not going to affect any of the performance standards. The Agent recommended a Close and Issue. No comments from the public.
