He said he talked to the Board of Health and provided them with an architectural plan. The Agent noted the Board of Health comments indicate it is in a zone 2.

NOI Resource Area: LSCSF, Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank, Salt Marsh, Bordering Vegetated Wetland, Land Under Ocean and Land Containing Shellfish. Tom Bunker, BSS Design, represented the applicant. He described the project and reviewed the plan. He stated the buyer is proposing to do some renovations to the house on the inland side because there is no proper foundation underneath it. He stated no native vegetation will be disturbed. The other part of the project is to cut in a hole in the seawall and lower it and build up masonry steps so they will be less steep to the pier. The Agent reviewed the site and said there is no change in footprint so no change in the runoff. He asked about the construction of the steps and wanted to make sure there isn't any disturbance to the salt marsh and there should be a condition on the installation of the foundation that any areas disturbed be returned to its previous condition. He recommended to Close and Issue. Comments from the Public A neighbor asked about the height of the project. The Agent said the height is under the jurisdiction of the Zoning Board of Appeals or the Building Department and is not under the purview of the Conservation Commission.
