i <br /> It's just a platform on six or eight sono tubes. The rest of it will be on joists and support <br /> structures. The narrative is in the fifing, including why this can be given a negative <br /> determination. <br /> Drew: "I agree that the ndtiga ion gocs.beyond what's called for the site is certainly in <br /> desperate need of it. �&. Talbot: "It's a very minor impact project." Len: "It may be a minor <br /> impact project, but you're doing a lot of work in the buffer one." Mr. Talbot: "We'd be doing <br /> a lot of planting work in the buffer zone, and hat's good." Len: "I'm not arguing on that,"� W <br /> Talbot "If we were vista prum-ng, it would almost be an RDA, because the only trees that are <br /> actually mn a resource area are a couple of red maples sitting on those little spits. We've even <br /> done vista pings as RDA's when it's only in the buffer zone. That's the critical thing—only <br /> in the buffer zone, not in the resource area itself" Len; guess don't lno the reg ll <br /> enough to be able to determine what our authority is*' <br /> Dreg: "According to our regulations, this should be filed as a Notice of Intent just because of its <br /> proximity to the resource area. I understand there"s nothing there, it's an up-grade." Cass: <br /> understand that the plan would be an enhancement, and the applicant varus do is absolutely <br /> something that should be done, but the issue 'is jun'sdiction."W. Talbot: "So you think he <br /> should go out and spend $ ,000 on a complete survey for this little deck and those plantings? <br /> That's what you're asking if you ask for a Notice of Intent. It seems to me that would be a real <br /> imposition on him when he's really trying to',do a good thing. He could leave it just the way it <br /> i <br /> is." <br /> Drew: "'There are compelling reasons onboth sides-- having to file with a Notice of Intent due <br /> to the proximity of the resource area, and on the other side we have a tremendous arnout of <br /> mitigation and an upgrade of the property overlf. Mr. Talbot: "And it couldn't be more minor.") <br /> Len: "If we give this a negative.and we find out that the deck is tripled in size or they do <br /> something else, hat's our.recourse`" Mr. Talbot: "An enforcement order. This is the plan o <br /> records If we don't do this, we're in violation. An RISA doesn't mean you've lost control. It <br /> means-the project isn't that big a deal." <br /> Len: "Is there a compelling need that we have to satisfy`" Drew: "When you're encroaching <br /> that close to the resource area, yes, there has to be a comp ung need. We've had filings for <br /> sheds, but not this close to a resource area." Mr. Talbot: "A compelling reason is a subjective <br /> thing. In this case, the-owner wants his daughter to be married on a platform instead of on <br /> mulch."
