<br />HEARINGS: <br /> <br /> <br />6:00 53 Lakeview Drive, Kenneth E. Marsters, II. Proposed construction of in-ground pool, AOOC <br />43-3103 <br />landscaping and hardscaping. Representative: Prime Properties Limited Partnership <br />(continued from 6/29 & 7/13) <br /> <br />The applicant noted all the work that has been done and noted the “plan” held well even with <br />all the precipitation the last few days. Mr. Kent noted concurred noting “it held up really well.” <br />In closing, the applicant thought with the addition of hardscaping the “plan” was a great long- <br />term solution to drainage. Mr. Cook commended the applicant on the erosion control and <br />thought with the mitigation plantings the plan would work well concluding he had no <br />objection. Ms. Copeland made a note on the pool placement being away from the deck <br />noting that she understood the safety concern about the pool being too close to the deck. <br />Mr. Colombo asked if it was possible to move the pool out of the buffer zone and away from <br />the deck. Mr. Cook noted that the retaining wall and patio would still be in the buffer zone, <br />making the change moot. In response to Ms. Godfrey, the applicant clarified that no lawn <br />would be placed in the property’s back suggesting instead an Astro turf (no fertilization). <br />Following up, Ms. Zollo echoed the Astro turf question (over sand) – taking away vegetation <br />and putting plastic in the buffer zone. Regarding the pipes sticking up from the ground, the <br />applicant clarified that those were the dry wells. Mr. Kent asked about the pool utilities <br />clarifying that this would be outside the buffer zone. Mr. Kent thought the erosion control <br />was good, noting the protection the “plan” provided. Mr. Kent commented that the property <br />owner has addressed all the erosion and runoff issues at the site. However, it may be <br />necessary to incorporate a low-profile retaining wall as part of the hardscaping to ensure that <br />all soils are adequately stabilized prior to planting. Mr. Kent concluded that the pool and patio <br />meets the performance standards for bordering vegetated wetland as it is outside the 50ft <br />setback. Mr. Kent recommended approval with the condition of a 3-year signed contract for <br />monitoring and maintenance of all mitigation plantings. Regarding the pool’s drawdown, Mr. <br />Kent assured Mr. Colombo that this would be done by truck since the pool was so close to <br />the vegetated area and would be automatically a condition. <br /> <br />Mr. Cook made a motion to close and issue with the following conditions: a 3-year signed <br />contract for monitoring and maintenance of all mitigation plantings and the plan be updated <br />to show lawn is pervious artificial lawn and location of the maintenance pumps which was <br />seconded Ms. Godfrey. <br /> <br />Roll Call Vote: <br />Steven Cook (Yes) <br />Alexandra Zollo (Abstain) <br />Erin Copeland (Yes) <br />Sandra Godfrey (Yes) <br />Paul Colombo (Yes) <br />4 – 0 – 1 <br /> <br />6:03 134 Shore Drive West, Steven M. and Jill M. Purpura. Proposed access stairs and bank AOOC <br />43-3209 <br />stabilization. Representative: Cape & Islands Engineering, Inc. (continued from 6/29 & 7/13) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The applicant went through the history of property and the desire for beach access. The <br /> <br />applicant noted the work done to restore the coastal bank after a storm. Now, the applicant <br />is seeking to amend the order of conditions for redoing pool, deck and revegetation (15 native <br />species) and removal of invasives from the buffer zone (Bittersweet, Japanese Knotweed, <br /> <br />
