Buffer Zone to-Coastal Bank`Buff(-,�r Zone to Bordering Vegetation, Wetland: Deans Pond Dan Ojala from Dern Cape Engineering explains that parking has been a challenge for the homeowner and they would lice more room to maneuver and park the vehicles. They would like t construct a carriage house garage. The current flood elevation is 11' but they adhered to town code of 12'. The area is heavily disturbed with hard aping. The homeowners are planning to do a pressure sewage system and pert of this project is contingent on that. The low pressure sewage system will be corning in as a separate filing in about a month or so. Mr. Ojala mentions that the Agent asked if it was possible to move the structure back so as to reduce encroachment onto the bank, but unfortunately there is not enough space to do s , especially with a full size passenger vehicle, It would make the tura into the garage very snug. Agent McManus reads the Board of Health comment which states that the Ocean Bluff cottages are currently being connected to New Seabury Waste Water Treatment,Plant application and is why the-bedr rm & bathroom above the garage is contingent on that'applicatin. A possible condition could be stated as "Board of Health variance shall be obtained if the sewage is not finalized", Agent McManus confirms that the area i very tight so it is understandable that the structure could not be moved. He also says that the mitigation formula was sent to the consultant for the required mitigation that is dependent on the setback from the resource area or the disturbance in the resource area. He is assuming that the mitigation will be on an Amended Order as nothing has been submitted to this point. The Agent's recommendation would be to close and issue pending receipt of a landscape plan for the coastal side if the Commissioner' agree: Commissioner Gurnee asks for clarity and would like confirmation that the plan is to go ahead and build the carriage house but will not finish the upstairs bedroom or bathroom and Mr. Ojala confirms that that is correct. Agent McManus suggests that specific. wording can be put in the Order of Conditions that would reflect that contingency. Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to Close and Issue with recommendations 3
