Michael Borselli, Falmouth Engineering, represented the applicant. He described the proposed project includes the construction of an addition to the existing house at 28 Sampsons Mill Road. He noted the application is also being filed pursuant to the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act as well as the Mashpee Wetlands Protection Bylaws. He noted the resource areas have been located which is a Bordering Vegetated Wetland which was an old abandoned cranberry bog. He noted a perennial stream is near the proposed project which places the project in a riverfront area. He noted on the plan the perennial stream and the inner and outer riparian zone. Mr. Borselli noted the proposed work is located within the 100 feet of the resource area and previously altered resource area buffer. The proposed work includes the construction of an addition to the house and re-installation of the septic tank. The project will comply with the mitigation regulations and the plantings will be planted in areas adjacent to the existing vegetated buffer. He noted the project meets the performance standards. The Agent referred to the visuals showing the property, addition, driveway expansion and mitigation areas as well as the perennial stream channel. He noted the mitigation plantings would be most effective which are to match what is growing there already and they are to be maintained and monitored over a three year period. The project meets the performance standards. No public comment Motion: Mr. Shaw moved to Close and Issue, seconded by Mr. Sweet. Vote unanimous 5-0 6:03 Stuart J. and Leslie S. Frank, 22 Little Neck Lane. Proposed modifications to existing deck and Hardscape structures. Due to failure of the Mashpee Enterprise to public notice properly, continued from 3/8/2018. RDA Resource Area: Coastal bank, buffer zone to coastal bank and BVW/Salt marsh Raul Lizardi-Rivero, Cape & Island Engineering, represented the applicants. He explained the proposed project is to modify existing rear deck and reconfigure stone walls and stairs in front of the house and install new front landing. He noted the stairs in the front are in the road layout and they are proposing to rebuild the stairs further away from the road and at the same time further away from the salt marsh. The lawn will be replaced with plantings. All work proposed is located within previously legally altered areas and all proposed work is located outside the 100’ to all other resource areas. The limit of work will be installed prior to construction. The Agent reviewed the project and showed some visuals of the home and the steps. He noted the very steep coastal bank and showed the area of mitigation as proposed. He said originally mitigation wasn’t proposed but his recommendation is to have mitigation because of the proximity of the deck to the wetland resource area, it is inside 50’ of the BVW and its over the bank itself. Given this, mitigation was warranted here and the mitigation was added to the plan. No comment from the public Motion: Mr. Sweet moved for a Negative Determination with the conditions as suggested by the Agent, seconded by Mr. Shaw. Vote unanimous 5-0 6:06 Carl F. Cavossa, Jr. and Kristen Cavossa, 345 Monomoscoy Road. Proposed demolition of dock and pilings and reconstruction of a pier, ramp, float and pile structure. Due to failure of the Mashpee Enterprise to public notice properly, continued from 3/8/2018. NOI
