A previous proposal to <br /> build an off-the-grid dwelling led to a denied NOI for a wood bridge. An appeal to the DEP <br /> resulted in a design revision to a steel bridge, meeting Wetlands Protection Act standards. <br /> However, the judiciary required reapplication with the steel bridge design. Subsequent ZBA <br /> variances for a wood or steel bridge were denied, leading to a regulatory taking lawsuit, which <br /> the court partly dismissed. The applicant appealed, resulting in a directive to first consult the <br /> Conservation Commission. The applicant proposed the town purchase the island under agreeable <br /> terms, and the town agreed. A meeting is scheduled with CPC to discuss funding, with a <br /> suggestion that the Conservation Department applies to CPC for the purchase. <br /> PRE/POST AGENDA <br /> • Presentation: Cape Cod Commission, Heather McElroy & Michelle White: Climate <br /> Change <br /> ■ Background: <br /> ■ 19% of Cape Cod is in a flood zone. <br /> ■ Property values in flood zones assessed in the billions. <br /> 1 <br />
