Marlene Susienka, owner, stated she filed an RDA to repair an existing ramp and float. The Agent <br />referred to the plan of record and stated this is on the original plan that was part of the approval for <br />the dock and because of water depth issues it was built out in another location. The float differs <br />from the original plan. They do have a Chapter 91 license and this hearing is to get the change in <br />footprint on record. The harbormaster and shellfish constable signed off on the change. <br /> <br />No comment from the public <br /> <br />Motion: Mr. Smith moved a Negative Determination, seconded by Mr. Sweet.

They stated they would like to construct a <br />detached garage in the Northwest corner of the property. The Zoning Board has approved their <br />variance contingent on approval from the Conservation Commission. The site plan confirms that <br />they are 73’ from the wetlands. The Agent stated this was isolated land subject to flooding. He <br />referred to the plans and photos with delineated wetland.

He explained the project in <br />great length using the plans and photos provided. The project consists of constructing and <br />maintaining an addition to the front of the existing house, addition to the garage, installation of an <br />in-ground pool with a patio and retaining walls, move existing stairs and add mitigation plantings. <br />Also proposed is the removal or abandonment of all existing septic systems and install a new title 5 <br />system. The project also includes the construction of two new patios for the existing cottages and <br />the removal of the outhouse and brick barbeque and the construction of a connecting driveway <br />between the existing driveway on the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Costa explained they were requesting a waiver for the pool with patio and retaining walls and <br />patio for the cottage within 50 feet of the resource area. The proposed structures are not moving <br />any closer to the wetlands than the existing edge of clearing. He noted the Agent wasn’t in <br />agreement of where the proposed pool is to be located. He said another concern the Agent had <br />was the overseeing of the mitigation so they would be offering the plantings would be planted right <br />away and they would submit an as built plan to take the burden off of the staff. They wouldn’t be <br />opposed to installing a fence and no future trees would be taken down. The applicant understands <br /> <br />
