e. whether the following scope of alternatives is adequate for work in the Riverfront Area as
depicted on referenced plan(s).
C. Project Description
1. a. Project Location (use maps and plans to identify the location of the area subject to this request):
55 Sullivan Road West Yarmouth
47 51
b. Area Description (use additional paper, if necessary):
The area where the proposed work will occur is upland, likely wooded prior to 1980 with Clethra, Prunus
and other shrubs and ground covers, such as Carex pensylvanica, typically adjacent to fresh water
pond buffer zones.
c. Plan and/or Map Reference(s):
2. a. Work Description (use additional paper and/or provide plan(s) of work, if necessary)
My existing deck, the design of which dates back to circa 1980 when my parents built this house, can
only manage a small table and chairs. <y grill is currently on the ground near my woods. Access to it
poses a trip hazard and the wind off the water regularly blows it over. An expanded deck will contain my
furniture and the grill while making use of the area directly outside my sliders far safer. The current
deck is 12'x16' and the proposed expanded deck is 16'x32'. The expanded deck remains outside of the
buffer zone and it has the great added benefit of keeping visitors largely off the property that lies within
the buffer as I will no longer have the need (as I do now) to use it for recreation . I believe this project is
a win/win for my home and the health of the land.
