NOI Resource Area: Coastal Bank, LSCF Material Submitted: It 8 Shore Drive fest Tara Marden, woods Hole group, represented the next three applicants. in an effort to save time and energy and to avoid redundancy, she asked if she could present the engineering and scientific data once for the three properties. The Chair consented to her request. Ibis. Marden presented the stabilization project for the Liatsos located at 118 Shore Drive West in Iashpee. The existing dwelling on the property 's approximately 75 feet on top of the coastal bank. 'The coastal bank has been quickly eroding and the property owner has done a very good job of constant beach nourishment, putting sand on the bank and the beach. However, his efforts have been unsuccessful way in protecting the property and this past winter he lost about 25 to 30 feet on top of the coastal bank. The three properties combined, Liatsos, pinchin and Southwick, have -spent $220,000 in the past year and have put 11,000 yards of sand on the beach to try and combat the erosion. This past winter the erosion went into the yard. David 1 inehin lost his sia it case and the deck at the top of the staircase and went within 1 feet of the foundation of the Southwick's pool. IVIS. harden said Haat the properties need a more substantial solution. 1I . harden said they have designed a project which will mirror the New Seury project which has been a huge success. She shoved pictures from the New Seahury project. She also noted on the plan the erosion that has occurred. She explained the proposal will be biodegradable Coir envelopes, fiber rolls, and piles in front with an inch space between the piles. Rubber bumpers will be installed around every other pile to ensure that the piles do not touch each other so that the sand can flow freely from the bank to the Beach. i No filter fabric will be installed behind the piles to slow sand transport from the Bank to the beach and no rods will be placed in front of the piles on the coastal beach. She said the clients are committed to beeping these biodegradable products covered at all tunes on order to ensure a long lasting solution.
