Subject:RE: COASTAL BANK - 8 Grove Street, West Yarmouth
Hi Mark and Kieran
Without seeing a plan, but interpreting the zoning bylaw it sounds like the area below the bank would be upland as long
as it is not considered to be any other type of wetland resource area. Please make sure the coastal bank delineation (top
and toe of bank) clearly references Policy 92-1 for coastal banks.
Thanks

That’s good news Mark -It does not fall under any of those descriptions.
Kelley To recap.
We have a Coastal bank on the site where we have an existing dwelling and we are doing a raze and replace in almost
the exact footprint. There is an area of land above and below the coastal bank that is not in any other wetland as
defined by the Yarmouth By-Law. (flood Zone in not in the list and is excepted). We are not getting any closer to the
resource so I am looking to calculate my “upland Land Area” so I can work out the lot coverage calculations.
There are numerous resource buffers on and around the lot so there will definitely be a Con Com NOI filing – This is just
for me to figure out the “upland” land area for zoning.
Regards Kieran

Hi Kieran,
Based on Zoning Bylaw Section 203.5, Foot Note N, referencing MGL Ch. 131, Section 40, I would defer to Kelley. She
and Con Com have the regulatory authority to make this call, based on the topo and related "wetland" provisions.
Once that call is made, you can then apply the appropriate land area, for zoning purposes.
Hope this helps,
Mark

See attached – no lot size as it is Land Court and they never give a size. It does have “by a line in Lewis Bay”. The plan
also shows out to MHW

What does the deed say regarding size of lot and lot description?

Hello Mark
I am working on a site with ocean frontage and I have 3 areas of land. Below the coastal bank, in the coastal bank and
above the coastal bank. In the area below the coastal bank I have about 50’ before I get to another resource area.
(basically a flat lawn).
2
For the purposes of calculating lot area I know I will exclude the actual bank itself but years ago I used to include the
area below the coastal bank. Can you confirm I can still use that area for my gross area for lot coverage. The land is
contiguous as there is a portion where there is no Coastal bank.
It means having 4900 s.f. of land area or 13,000 s.f. (or being at 48% building coverage or at 18% building coverage.)
