He recommended 5 year monitoring and maintenance plan. He asked if there was any risk of sheet runoff from this patio, Mr. Garulay said he didn't see any trench drainage, didn't notice erosion. Agent asked if it's entirely impervious, Mr. Garulay said he believes so. Agent said they can condition if it becomes an issue they can take measures to address it.

Raul Lizardi from Cape and Islands Engineering presented plans. Agent commented there is bordering vegetative wetland associated with the salt marsh, none was delineated from the plan. Probably would reduce that setback to within buffer zone. It's important to document that. Board of Health said property is not Zone 2, is going to be reviewed 1/23/2020. Don Bart from 236 Monomoscoy Road said street flooding is becoming a problem, drainage is becoming an issue. Alterations to the terrain could flood the streets. That's a continued concern
