(BSC) is pleased to submit this Request for Determination of Applicability (RDA) on behalf of our client, Mark Doran, for the property located at 23 Glenwood Street in West Yarmouth (the Site). The proposed project at the Site involves the raise and replacement of a single-family dwelling, with the proposed dwelling to be located as far away from resource areas as possible. The existing dwelling which includes a gazebo, unattached garage, and two decks. Temporary impacts to the buffer zones of jurisdictional resource areas associated with the demolition and removal of the existing dwelling will comprise of 105 square feet (sf) within the 50-100 buffer zone to Salt Marsh and 1,430 sf within the 100-foot Buffer Zone to the Top of Coastal Bank. These areas will be restored to their original grade, loamed and seeded immediately following the completion of work. The existing septic system within the buffer zone to Coastal Bank and Salt Marsh be pumped, filled with sand, and crushed, as is typical for septic system retirements. The new Title V septic system and associated components will be constructed outside of all jurisdictional resource areas. Impacts associated with the new single-family dwelling will comprise of 640 sf of the proposed paver stone patio and a portion of the dwelling within the 50-100-foot Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank. The proposed work will result in a significant reduction to developed/impervious areas within the Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank and Salt Marsh, which will provide a significant betterment to the Site in terms of the interests of the WPA and Yarmouth Bylaw. A line of sediment and erosion controls will be installed between the limit of work and the wetland resource areas prior to the start of work and will remain in place until work has been completed. All construction materials will be staged upland of all resource areas. All debris from the Site will be contained in roll-off container stored in upland areas and will be removed from the Site in a timely manner. Please see attached plans for more details.
