Yarmouth, Massachusetts 02673 10 Middle Road, West Yarmouth Request for Determination of Applicability Proposed Addition Over Existing Raised Deck Town of Yarmouth Conservation Commission March 2022 Prepared for: Virginia and David Gazzolo 10 Middle Road West Yarmouth, Massachusetts 02673 BSC Job #50025.00 Engineers Environmental Scientists Software Developers Landscape Architects Planners Surveyors 349 Main Street, Route 28, Unit D / West Yarmouth, MA 02673 / 508-778-8919 MARCH 17, 2022 www.bscgroup.com Town of Yarmouth Conservation Commission 1146 Route 28 South Yarmouth, MA 02664 Attn: Kelly Grant, Conservation Administrator RE: Request for Determination of Applicability, Proposed Addition Over Existing Raised Deck, 10 Middle Road, West Yarmouth, Massachusetts; BSC Job #50025.00 Dear Ms. Grant and Members of the Conservation Commission: BSC Group, Inc. (BSC) is pleased to submit this Request for Determination of Applicability (RDA) on behalf of our client, Virginia and David Gazzolo, for the property located at 10 Middle Road in West Yarmouth (the Site). The proposed project at the Site involves the raise and replacement of an existing elevated deck with an addition to the northern face of the single-family dwelling. The proposed 85 square foot (sf) addition will use the existing sono tubes that support the elevated deck and the stairway associated with the elevated deck will be removed. Impacts to the buffer zones of jurisdictional resource areas associated with the demolition and removal of the existing stairway will be temporary and only limited ground disturbance is anticipated for the removal of the stairway. Any ground disturbance will be restored to original grade, loamed and seeded immediately following the completion of work. 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. BSC is requesting a negative determination of applicability based on the following project guidelines and impacts: "Town of Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations, PART 4. VARIANCE, 4.01 Text, (1) The Conservation Commission may at its discretion, waive one or more of these regulations when the proposed work . . . will not adversely affect any areas subject to the protection of these regulations. In addition, the Conservation Commission may, at its discretion, waive one or more of these regulations when there is an overriding public benefit or safety issue at hand and there is no feasible alternative to the proposed work." BSC feels this project will not adversely affect any jurisdictional resource areas including the 100-foot Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank and Salt Marsh because the existing landscape is not to be changed, as the proposed project is to be constructed on an existing, elevated deck. BSC also feels the proposed project is far more feasible than proposing an addition to the Site. For more information, please refer to the attached Site Plans and WPA Form 1. This application is being submitted in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Town of Yarmouth Wetlands Protection Bylaw. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact our office at 508-778-8919. Sincerely, BSC GROUP, INC.
