REQUESTS FOR DETERMINATION Greenberg/Morachnick 17 Pocomo Road Laurentide Environmental, LLC 14 South Shore Road Nantucket, MA 02554 e-mail: [email protected] (508) – 332 – 9722 Field Inspection Report Date: September 1, 2015 Applicant / Owner: Mark Greenberg & Tami Morachnick Location: 17 Pocomo Road Agent: Blackwell & Associates - Art Gasbarro Comments: Developed lot off Pocomo Road. Due to time constraints, I was unable to visit the property on 9/1. Will be able to inspect on 9/16. The project narrative has the limit of work at the 25-foot buffer and the proposed garage no closer than 50 feet to the wetland boundary. These setbacks have usually required the filing of a NOI. However, the submitted plans show the limit of work in excess of 50-feet to the wetland boundary and the proposed garage partially outside the 100-foot buffer. Questions and Recommendations: Clarify the wetland setbacks for the project. Wait for the results of the wetland boundary review on 9/16. Inspector: B.

Goose Cove, LLC - 4 Goose Cove Way (59.4-30) SE48-2817 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett, Erisman, LaFleur, Champoux, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Supporting documents and plans. Representative Don Bracken, Bracken Engineering, Inc. – Similar to SE48-2816. He has the proposed buffer plant plan for within the 100-foot buffer; about 75 feet is already naturally vegetated. The tallest plants will be red cedar with the intent of being a screen; the 2013 planting plan is what is being proposed. Public Jay Bowditch, 11 South Cambridge Street – He had been led to believe that the new plantings would be over the entire length of the buffer area; the plants that are there are scrub growth and afford no privacy. There is a lot of scrub vegetation on Madaket Conservation Land. Noted a 2013 planting plan. Discussion (4:08) Champoux – Screen planting isn’t within ConCom jurisdiction, only the buffer plantings. Clarification of where the vegetation is being planted and its type. Staff There is a diverse mix which is very dense. Have everything needed to close. Motion Motion to Close.

Representative Arthur D. Gasbarro, Blackwell and Associates Inc. – The property is entirely within land subject to coastal storm flowage.

King Trust – 26 Codfish Park Road (73.1.3-65) SE48-2820 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett, Erisman, LaFleur, Champoux, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Supporting documents and plans. Representative Mark Rits, Site Design Engineering – This is to replace the existing septic within 100-foot buffer of a coastal dune with an I/A system and construct a 192 square foot (SF) shed and build small deck addition on north side of house over impervious drive; drive to be relocated. Waivers required are under no adverse impact/no reasonable alternative for the septic and deck. There are intermittent jersey barriers on the east side of the road, and there is no evidence of sand inundation into the lawns; most of the dune is higher than the barriers. No change in footprint and minimal grade change are proposed. Public None Discussion (4:19) Golding – There is some sand intrusion into the road in the winter. Staff Have everything needed to close.

(made by: LaFleur) (seconded by: Bennett) Vote Carried unanimously 8. *Bayliss – 52 Eel Point Road Lot 1 (35-25) SE48-2821 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett, Erisman, LaFleur, Champoux, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Supporting documents and plans. Representative Mark Rits, Site Design Engineering – Resource areas: large wetland, land subject to flooding, isolated vegetated wetland, bordering vegetated wetlands, and smaller wetland. The proposal is to remove the existing house and redevelop the property. A pervious driveway is planned and comes just inside the 50- foot buffer; all structures are outside the 50-foot buffer, and the septic is outside the 100-foot buffer. A portion of the pool is inside the 100-foot buffer. There will have to be a fence around the pool but it will be outside the 50-foot buffer; we will come back for a minor modification for the pool fence. There is an existing, 14-foot high timber retaining wall. Requested continuance. Public None Discussion (4:24) None Staff Waiting for Massachusetts Natural Heritage determination.

Representative Mark Rits, Site Design Engineering – Resource areas: large wetland, land subject to flooding, isolated vegetated wetland, bordering vegetated wetlands, and smaller wetland.

Representative Arthur D. Gasbarro, Blackwell and Associates Inc. – This is within the buffer to a coastal dune along Madaket Harbor. Work is installation of a swimming pool, deck, small structure, grading, retaining wall, and pool surround; all is outside the 50-foot buffer. Within the 50-foot is removal of a step pool. A new septic is to be outside the 100-foot buffer. An existing timber plank walkway through the dune will be replaced with an elevated walkway with 1X4 mahogany decking; installation will be by hand. Proposed plantings between the 25 & 50. The silt fence needs to be revised to accommodate that. No waivers are being requested. Requested continuance. Public None Discussion (4:33) Golding – Asked if there would be any plantings under the walkway. (Only naturally growing beach grass.) He would like to see this be as unobtrusive as possible. Steinauer – This doesn't have the same sensitivity of vegetation as for a wetland, but a Fibergrate® decking might provide more light penetration and improve the chances of vegetation growing under the walkway. Erisman – Asked for clarification of where new plantings would be in regards to the proposed of the silt fence. Staff Waiting for Massachusetts Natural Heritage review. Motion Continued to 9/16 without objection Vote N/A 11. *Hoffman – 15 Sherburne Turnpike (30-34) SE48-2819 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett, Erisman, LaFleur, Champoux, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Supporting documents and plans.
