(E-filers of Notices of Intent may submit these electronically.) Notice of Intent 115 River Street South Yarmouth, MA PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION The proposed project at 115 River Street in South Yarmouth, MA (the Site) consists of the permitting of the partial raise in elevation and partial raze and replacement of a single-family dwelling within the 100-foot Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank and the outer 200-foot Riverfront Area associated with the Bass River located to the east of the property (the Project). This application is being submitted in accordance with the Town of Yarmouth Wetlands Protection Bylaw (the Yarmouth Bylaw) and Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and associated regulations (the WPA). 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The property located at 115 River Street in South Yarmouth, is bordered by private residences to the north, south, and west, and River Street and the adjacent property bordering the Bass River containing existing coastal structures. The lot is currently developed with multiple single-family residential dwellings, storage sheds, and shared driveway. The jurisdictional wetland resource areas that are protected under the Yarmouth Bylaw and the WPA include; • Riverfront Area (Bass River) • Coastal Bank • Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (LSCSF) FEMA Floodzone AE (elevation 11) 3.0 PROPOSED ACTIVITIES The purpose of this application is to authorize the following proposed activities: Proposed Partial Raise in Elevation and Partial Raze and Replacement of Single-family Dwelling: The proposed project at the site consists of the raze and replacement of an existing multi-unit dwelling. The existing single-family dwelling is located within LSCSF, the outer 100-foot Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank, and within the outer 200-foot RFA of the Bass River. The proposed raise in elevation of the portion of the single-family dwelling will occur within the footprint of the existing dwelling and will not result in additional impervious area, apart from the new proposed entrance on the eastern face of the dwelling. Similarly, the porch located in the southeastern corner of the dwelling will be replaced in kind. The proposed addition will occur in the western face of the dwelling. A total of 742 square feet (sf) of impacts are proposed within the outer limited of the RFA located on the Site and 217 sf of impacts are proposed within the 50-100 Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank. It should be noted that the Site is located across River Street, a paved roadway, from the Bass River and the majority of the Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank and the Riverfront Area is currently developed with lawn and various structures. Therefore, all proposed work will not impact areas with natural vegetation or areas that an undisturbed by development. 4.0 ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS No Build Alternative: In this alternative, the proposed project would not occur. The applicant is raising a portion of the dwelling to bring it into compliance with floodzone requirements and to conduct necessary foundation repairs. Not conducting these necessary activities would not be in the interest of the applicant and therefore this alternative is not being proposed. Larger Build Alternative: In this alternative, the proposed work would have a greater impact within the 100-foot Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank and the outer RFA to Bass River, such as expanding the footprint of proposed dwelling. This would not be in the interest of the Bylaw and the WPA because it would add more impervious area to these jurisdictional resource areas. For this reason, this alternative is not proposed. Proposed Scenario: The proposed scenario has been designed to limit the impacts on the jurisdictional resource area and their associated buffer zones to the greatest extent practicable. The raise of the proposed dwelling is being conducted to bring the dwelling into compliance with flood zone requirements, as well as to repair the foundation of the house which is currently compromised. In addition, the proposed native planting mitigation area that is proposed will increase the diversity of vegetation and habitat within an area that is currently lawn. For these reasons, this alternative is currently being proposed. Notice of Intent 115 River Street South Yarmouth, MA 5.0 MITIGATION To mitigate for impacts within the 200-foot Riverfront Area, a mitigation planting area will be installed in areas that are currently lawn, in the northeastern corner of the Site. The roughly 750 sf area will be planted with low shrubs including lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) and bearberry (Arctosaphylos uva-ursi). For more planting information, please refer to the attached Site plan. Ground disturbance within the Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank and Riverfront Area will be limited to the greatest extent practicable and any areas where soils are disturbed will be returned to original grade and seeded with grass seed following the completion of work activities. All work within Buffer Zones will be conducted across the street from the Bass River and as such, no migration of sediment towards the resource area is anticipated. All construction materials will be staged upland of all resource areas as much as possible. 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.
