Thank you for your help working through all this. The slip is on 6 pilgrim and I have a letter for that and the
abandoned building on 13 Sagamore. What is the issue with 11?

Hi Laurie
I can see the first couple of photos only. Given the proposed tree removal and the proposed fence design within the
velocity zone I am going to say you need to file for the Commission to review this proposed work. You can file a Request
for Determination of Applicability. The fling forms can be found here: https://www.yarmouth.ma.us/696/Filing-Forms
Here is some text from the FEMA – Free of Obstruction Requirements for the velocity zone. I don’t believe the property
over the road is in the V zone.
1
Fences and privacy walls, including walls separating one property from another, may obstruct or divert flood
flow and waves toward buildings. Their potential effects on buildings, including debris generation, should be
evaluated. Open fences (e.g., wood, plastic, open masonry units, metal slat fencing with generous openings) are
presumed to not cause harmful diversion of floodwater or wave runup and reflection. Fences with small
openings and solid fences and walls may divert flow and waves and can trap debris. Solid fences, privacy walls,
and fences prone to trapping debris must be designed and constructed to fail under base flood conditions
without causing harm to nearby buildings. Where building or fire codes require ground-level walls for tenant
fire separation, designers should strive to satisfy code requirements while minimizing potential adverse effects
from flood diversion.
Please note you will need to concurrently file the Requests for Certificate of Compliance for the open Orders of
Conditions on file. I see one open for 11 Sagamore and 2 open for 13 Sagamore.
Thanks

Hi, Kelly, I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
I can’t draw to save my life but do know how to put lines on pictures. Please review and let me know what
additional information you would like.
Attached are a series of photos showing:
1-plot plan for 13 Sagamore Road marked to show fence line (the fence does not need to go all the way to the
water because there are tall grass/rushes/beach rose bushes that keep the dogs in from the end of the fence).
