Section 174-17.1 allows for a raze and replace project upon the grant of Special Permit relief by the Zoning Board of Appeals.The Board must find that there is no new non-conformities in connection with this project; that the proposed project is not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing conditions,and there is sufficient land area for parking.The proposal also includes a garage, and currently there is no garage on site. The two non- conformities were eliminated. The dwelling will be setback the proper distance from the sidelines as well as the wetlands. The proposed lot coverage is 19.54%which is below the allowed 20%. The new construction will meet current day codes, and there is a new septic system that is part of this complete raze and replace project.The project has been approved by the Conservation Commission, and the Board of Health comments said that it requires approval by their department prior to issuance of a building permit. Chairman Furbush announced that Board Member, Jim Gould joined the meeting. Mr. Furbush asked Tom Bunker if he wanted to add any comments. Tom said that the non- conforming side setback has been eliminated, as well as the rear setback to the wetlands. There will be a new septic system installed. The existing house did not conform to the FEMA regulations as far as building in a flood zone, and the new house will comply with FEMA regulations. He had no further comments. Jonathan asked if there will be any dry wells installed, and Scott asked if there will be infiltration chambers. Tom pointed out that on both sidelines there are two high capacity infiltration chambers in the front and rear on the south side, and on the north side of the property line, there are a set of four infiltration chambers for the roof runoff. There is a catch basin in the driveway which will direct to the infiltration chambers; one on the north side and one just outside the garage door. Jonathan did not have any more questions. Ron wanted to know the dimensions of the existing setbacks from the wetlands. Tom said that it is 46 ft. from the patio to the wetlands, and 46 ft. from the structure to the top of the coastal bank, and 52 ft. from the structure.
