C123104.01 – Request for Determination of Applicability 30 Route 6A, Yarmouth Port Project Narrative Existing Conditions: The property at 30 Route 6A, Yarmouth is currently developed with a single-family dwelling, wooden decks, pool house, patio and pool area, walkways, pea stone driveway, lawn and on-site sewage disposal system. There is also a small building, deck and landscape walls along Mill Pond. Adjacent to Mill Pond is an AE Flood Zone (El. 12) and Coastal Bank. Further inland there is an isolated vegetated wetland that resides mainly on the abutting property to the west. Proposed Conditions: The proposed scope of work for this project is for the renovation of the existing dwelling with a small house addition (180 s.f.) and deck expansion (320 s.f.) within the 75'-100' Buffer to the isolated vegetated wetland. The house addition falls entirely within the footprint of the existing deck and the deck addition falls entirely within the existing lawn area. Due to the close proximity of 5 spruce trees immediately adjacent to the house, they are proposed to be removed. There will be no increase in bedroom count, nor any proposed changes to the existing on-site sewage disposal system. The proposed work should have no impact on the isolated vegetated wetland.
