PROJECT DESCRIPTION – 14 Angus Avenue, Map 33, Parcel 46, South Yarmouth, MA
The proposed project by the applicant, Marie Caron, includes the construction of a new 3 bedroom
house, Title 5 septic system, deck, landscape wall, landscape features, and a driveway connecting to
Angus Avenue. The project includes the removal of the existing house structure located within this
residential property located at 14 Angus Avenue. All proposed construction activities within this subject
property will be located within upland areas of land that have been altered in the past, by the
construction of the existing residential structures located within this subject property.
There are no biological wetlands located within this subject residential property, or within 100’ of this
subject property. The subject property is located within a designated flood zone, 100’ year flood zone,
AE Elevation 11, classified as land subject to coastal storm flowage. This section of Angus Avenue
contains existing residential houses and buildings located on both sides of Angus Avenue, all located
within the area designated as land subject to coastal storm flowage, AE Elevation 11.
No biological wetlands and no wetland buffer zones will be altered by this proposed residential project.
Proposed site alterations will occur within land subject to coastal storm flowage, since the entire
developed property is classified as land subject to coastal storm flowage, 100 year flood zone, AE
Elevation 11. The proposed residential project includes a new Title 5 septic system for improved
treatment of wastewater, which will be an improvement for the local groundwater system, within this
section of South Yarmouth. The proposed septic system will be reviewed by the Yarmouth Board of
Health.
Adequate erosion controls will be utilized to prevent any sedimentation from migrating off property, to
adjacent residential properties, and into the adjacent roadway (Angus Avenue) from this proposed
construction project.
Construction Protocol
1. Remove existing structures from the property, remove to suitable upland location off property.
2. Install new Title 5 septic system, and leaching field.
3. Construct new 3 bedroom house.
4. Construct deck.
5. Construct landscape wall and landscape features.
6. Construct new driveway connection to Angus Avenue.
Again, all proposed site alterations are located within upland areas of land that have been altered in the
past, by past residential development located within this site at 14 Angus Avenue, South Yarmouth, MA.
