Proposed construction of a <br />single family dwelling with a pool, patio, garage and driveway including associated landscaping, hardscaping, <br />mitigation plantings and pathway to saltmarsh. Rep: WRS Engineering, LLC, Yarmouthport Design Group, <br />Crawford Land Management and Environmental Consulting & Restoration Team. (Cont. 1/11, 2/15) <br /> Attorney Adam Brodsky confirms the submission of additional supplemental material which include a revised <br />site plan showing the reduced footprint including comparison table, revised landscape plan showing onsite of <br />vegetation proposing, expanded project narrative with construction methodology, discussion of site hydrology, <br />similar properties located along the same coastal bank, a letter from Mr. Humphries addressing the coastal bank <br />performance standards, a wildlife habitat evaluation performed by Crawford Land Management and a letter from <br />the applicant regarding additional information on the financial aspects and reasoning for the inability to lower the <br />square footage as this will result in a loss of investment. An additional letter addressing the projects impacts on <br />wildlife was given at the time of the hearing and has not been previously reviewed by the commissioners. <br />Attorney Brodsky states a phragmites mitigation plan has also been submitted for the proposed offsite mitigation <br />however, currently there is no vision lot area to comply with current mitigation ratios. The mitigation being <br />proposed is on the same coastal bank as the property however the land is owned by Willowbend. At this point <br />there are no board meetings available due to the seasonal nature of the subdivision. <br /> Mr. Garulay discusses the project changes which includes the reduction of 200 square feet from the dwelling, <br />removed 591 square feet of hardscape with most of the project moved approx. 2 feet landward excluding the stairs <br />at the southern end of the dwelling which went back 1 foot. The area around the pool will be clover fescue lawn <br />for the most part and added more woody native plantings where the property backs up from the wetland. <br /> Mr. Okurowski provided his professional opinion regarding the drainage specifically referring to the comments <br />regarding the cutoff wall going across the coastal bank and the concern downstream from the project would cause <br />a reduction in surface or groundwater which would be detrimental to the coastal bank. An analysis was completed <br />looking at it in 3 aspects. 1) The dental groundwater states the level of groundwater is well above the project area <br />and suggested a number of drywells to recharge the water. 2) A plan to divert small amounts of water from drywell <br />into a French drain system behind the wall. 3) Photos of 10 larger lots has been provided for visual evidence of <br />no negative affect on the coastal bank. <br /> Mr. Humphries evaluated the projects impact on the coastal bank and compliance with state regulations. A <br />letter submitted on March 13, 2024 goes through a summary of existing and proposed conditions highlighting the <br />soils texture as harder course sand which comprise a stable and permeable environment, the regulatory state <br />compliance focuses on the vertical buffer and the need to have no adverse effect on stability of the coastal bank. <br />He further believes the short term construction and long term use plan adequately protects the banks stability and <br />is in compliance with bylaws which state as “any loss to the natural vegetation will be confined to the area of the <br /> <br />
