Request for Determination of Applicability #15 Shore Road West Yarmouth, MA PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION The proposed project located at 15 Shore Road (the Site) in West Yarmouth, MA. This application is submitted in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Town of Yarmouth Wetlands Protection By-law. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The project site consists of a single-family residential property located at 15 Shore Road in West Yarmouth. Neighboring residential properties exist to the north, and east, with coastal beach, coastal bank, and Lewis Bay to the southwest. The wetland resource areas and areas of conservation jurisdiction on the site that are protected under the Wetlands Protection Act and the Town of Yarmouth’s Wetland Protection Bylaw include the following: •Land Under Ocean (LUO) •Coastal Beach •Coastal Bank •Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage FEMA Floodzone elevation VE 15 and 13 3.0 PROPOSED ACTIVITIES The purpose of this application is to authorize the following activities: The proposed project involves the replacement of gravel beneath the existing raised dwelling with an anchored, concrete pad. The existing gravel beneath the dwelling will be removed. The concrete pad (roughly 1,054 square feet in size) will be contained to the footprint of the raised dwelling, aside from the stormwater filtration features, including drip trenches along the edges of the dwelling. Only limited earth disturbance will be required for the installation of the concrete pad. Because the concrete pad will be contained to the footprint of the structure (minus the drip trench edges of the dwelling), no increase in impervious area is proposed. No change in grade or alterations to stormwater retention within LSCSF and the 100-foot Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank and Coastal Beach are anticipated. 4.0 MITIGATION The proposed work will be limited to work beneath the existing raised dwelling; therefore, no significant excavation or removal of vegetation is anticipated. Access for construction equipment will be gained from the existing paver stone driveway or existing lawn areas. If any rutting occurs during construction activities, disturbed areas will be returned to their original grade and stabilized with loam and grass seed and or/hay.
