(Representative: Cape & Islands Engineering, Inc.) 43- 3233 Mr. Kent reported that the project passed inspection, with work largely completed in accordance with the approved plans. He explained that the only minor field change involved installation of ADA-compliant stairs serving as an accessory dwelling/marina- related use. The ADA stairs replaced the existing set of standard stairs and were constructed entirely within the existing driveway footprint, behind the building, with no encroachment into resource areas and no new disturbance. Staff confirmed this change was minor and acceptable. Commissioners asked about the three-year mitigation and monitoring requirement included in the Order of Conditions issued August 15, 2023, noting the obligation runs through August 2026. Staff confirmed that the mitigation plantings are in place and in good condition, and that the monitoring contract with Crawford Land Management remains active. It was clarified that approval of the Certificate of Compliance would not terminate the mitigation obligation, which will continue as required under the Order. Additional questions were raised regarding a shed located near the marina side of the property. Staff indicated that all structures and site features appear consistent with the approved plans and that no compliance issues were identified during inspection. Commissioners also discussed vegetation and stormwater features, including the rain garden and mitigation planting areas. Staff clarified that the rain garden is located higher on the bank,while the lower area includes perimeter plantings with some maintained lawn, as shown on the approved plan,particularly near the transition to the salt marsh. No outstanding compliance concerns were identified. The matter proceeded toward issuance of the Certificate of Compliance, with the understanding that ongoing mitigation monitoring remains in effect through the required term. 11
