James Veara' Subject:RE: 8 Harbor Road- COC Requests Hi Kelly, Relative to the email outlining the issues of interest: Looks good for compliance with the lot combination / restriction. The second item deserves consideration of several factors. In examining the main issues relating to that requirement I think it will be good to have a summary of pros and cons for making any changes to the parking at this point. I also believe there is a likely overland (street) flow connection to the wetland, longer, by way of the street nearer to the corner with Baxter Ave. The parking pavement is well cured, and the additional runoff from the turnout to the overall contribution area of the Harbor Rd. neighborhood is on the order of unmeasurable. In the context of BMPs it is not an unacceptable practice to allow street runoff to enter hydric surface depressions. Reasoning for the status quo:  The area of pavement is relatively small and is integrated with the street pavement. With any sort of driveway connecting to the street there would be an apron to protect the street pavement of approx., 4 to 6 ft. width. Removing the remaining pavement ( 400 s.f. + ) would cause for a marginal reduction in impervious surface response, especially given that hardened / paved surfaces respond similarly for heavy rainfall events  The proposed driveway shown on the plan that was not constructed, intended to extend into the lot as indicated on the plan could be viewed as the sort of driveway eligible for a pervious surface limitation due to its proposed location, pitch of the surface and proximity to the wetland. I think the turn-out adjacent to the street pavement is a different item, not pitched down toward the wet depression slope on locus.  Renovating / excavating the turn out now and replacing it with base materials and crushed stone can cause for silts, stone dust and crushed stone to travel onto the street. These effects are not necessarily limited to the construction activity term but can persist depending on how the surface is maintained going forward.  The status quo is likely causing for the least harm, all things considered, and it may be counter – productive to remove the pavement and create a new construction site impact to an otherwise stable street. Reasoning for replacing the pavement with stone: ( I’ve added comments. )  The Order / plan specified the driveway to be pervious. (Not constructed into the lot)  Any runoff reduction is beneficial. (Risk / reward consideration. May not be a meaningful value in the scope of the overall contribution area.)  You’ll have to list another because I can’t think of any other reasons to make a change to the parking turn-out. If you think this matter could turn into a COC review discussion for the Commission let me know as I may be asked to participate. Best Wishes for the weekend weather !

There was no specificity for the deed restriction, but it seems that the ANR now on record PB 445, Pg. 18, accomplishes the same end. They may have skipped the restriction and went straight to the lot combination. From: Grant, Kelly <KGrant@yarmouth.ma.us> Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2022 4:26 PM To: 'E. James Veara' <jveara@thedavenportcompanies.com> Cc: bobperry@capecod.net Subject: RE: 8 Harbor Road- COC Requests Hi Jamie 2 I visited the property today and have a couple of comments/questions: - Can you please provide a copy of the deed restriction mentioned in SE83-755? - Paved parking has been created within the road layout instead of a pervious driveway on the property as proposed. Bob points out that this is not contributing to runoff on the property but it appears that runoff would enter the street and runoff to the wetland from the street. I will need to bring this to the attention of the Commission who may wish to see it replaced with pervious material. I did not see any other issues.
