He reviewed the original plan presented on 7/26 and the new updated plan. He explained the applicants are seeking a permit to raze the existing house and construct a new four-bedroom house on the lot with an upgrade septic system. The house will be in roughly the same position as the existing house near the road. Also planned is a swimming pool and spa, patio, lawn areas and walls.

The second area will be along the left-hand lot line from the salt marsh landward. He noted the septic system will be located in the left front yard as far from the wetland as possible. All roof runoff will be directed to drywells and the limit of work will be maintained for the duration of the construction. The Agent noted the Board of Health has submitted their comments.
