Resource Area: LSCSF, buffer zone to salt marsh, land under ocean, and <br />coastal bank (armored). <br /> <br /> Mr. Dib outlines the project, which involves razing and replacing the current structure <br />with a new single family dwelling. He highlights that the shoreline is protected with buffer zones <br />of 75ft and 150ft. Additionally, there is an existing pier with a float, currently licensed. Despite <br />an increase in footprint, the new structure will be situated approximately in the same location as <br />the existing one. The existing shed will be removed and a 2:1 mitigation plan, covering roughly <br />1,611sf, is proposed. Furthermore, a landscape plan, drafted by a professional licensed <br />contractor, will incorporate native plantings. Mr. Dib asserts that no waiver will be sought for <br />Regulation 25, citing reasons previously stated in the hearing. He assures that the construction of <br />the wall will adhere to regulation standards for properties in an A zone. Notably, Mr. Dib <br />references FEMA data indicating that the site lies outside the limit of moderate wave action <br />within an A zone. <br /> <br />COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS <br /> <br /> Ms. Thornbrugh inquires about the water table. Mr. Cook specifies that the high ground <br />sits at an elevation of 0.10ft beneath the chambers. Mr. Dib adds that the bottom of the leach <br />field measures at 9ft, with two drywells positioned around 8ft and an additional two at 12ft. <br /> <br /> Upon Mr. Colombo’s request for a couple of deep hole evaluations, citing the last soil <br />test completed on July 27, 2006. Mr. Dib acknowledges the request. He commits to conducting a <br />new soil test and guarantees to furnish the results once completed. <br /> <br />AGENT COMMENTS <br /> <br /> Mr. McManus has highlighted that the property falls within Zone ll, where there’s a <br />restriction to three bedrooms. He confirms that based on the received plans, the new I/A septic <br />system will still accommodate a three bedroom dwelling. He suggests an enhancement to the <br />mitigation plan, proposing that areas be clustered together to align parallel with the coastal bank. <br />Additionally, he recommends a condition requiring a three year maintenance contract, signed <br />between the owner and a qualified consultant. Mr. McManus expresses his view that the <br />property represents an improvement to the site, with the new dwelling meeting flood compliance <br />and building code standards. <br /> <br />There are no public comments. <br /> <br /> Motion made by Mr. Cook to close and issue with the condition of submitting a <br />revised mitigation plan showing all mitigation areas to be clustered together as a continuous <br />naturally vegetated buffer strip along the top of the coastal bank with a signed 3 year mitigation <br />monitoring contract between the property owner and a licensed qualified professional to verify <br />water depth. Motion seconded by Ms. Clapprood. <br /> <br /> Additional discussion ensues with Ms. Thornbrugh inquiring about the significant <br />increase in the footprint. Mr. Cook ensures the current mitigation plan will be sufficient to make <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
