Notice of Intent 163 & 165 Baxter Avenue West Yarmouth, MA PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION The proposed project at 163 & 165 Baxter Avenue in West Yarmouth, MA (the Site) consists of permitting the raze and replacement of a single-family home with appurtenances, to include driveway, garage, and drywells. (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 163 & 165 Baxter Avenue in West Yarmouth, is bordered by private residences to the south, forested land to the north and west and Baxter Avenue to the east. The lot at 163 Baxter Avenue is currently developed with a single-family home, while the lot at 165 Baxter Avenue is largely undeveloped, with forested upland and wetland areas. The jurisdictional wetland resource areas that are protected under the Yarmouth Bylaw and the WPA includes: •Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW) •Coastal Bank •Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (LSCSF) FEMA Flood Zone AE 3.0 PROPOSED ACTIVITIES The purpose of this application is to authorize the following proposed activities: Proposed Single-Family Home: The proposed project at the Site consists of razing and replacing the existing single-family home with a dwelling in roughly the same footprint, the relocation of the existing garage, an access driveway (relocated), and stormwater controls features including catch basin and drywells. A portion of the proposed dwelling and site clearing will fall within the footprint of the existing house, driveway, garage, and lawn area, which will limit disturbance to naturally vegetated areas. A catch basin has been proposed along with two additional drywells to capture and recharge stormwater from the driveway as well as the roof drains. The existing septic system will be utilized for the proposed dwelling. Minor clearing and grading will be needed; however, all proposed work will fall outside of the Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage and the 0-50-foot Buffer Zones to top of Coastal Bank (fragmented) and BVW. Proposed impacts associated with the Project include 510 square feet (sf) within the 50-100 Buffer Zone to BVW associated with a portion of the proposed dwelling and site clearing and 3,830 sf within the 50-100 Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank associated with a portion of proposed dwelling and site clearing. The majority of the proposed project activities will be located outside of jurisdictional resource areas under the WPA and Yarmouth Bylaw. Construction Sequencing: The proposed project activities will follow a typical construction timeline involving the installation of sediment controls at the limit of work, site preparation (including vegetation clearing and establishing staging areas in upland), demolition of the existing dwelling, removal of debris, installation of underground stormwater control utilities, relocation of the existing garage, construction of the proposed dwelling, connecting utilities, installation of relocated driveway, landscaping, and final site stabilization with loaming and seeding of all disturbed areas. Typical construction equipment will be utilized for this project. Access to the site will be gained from the existing driveway at 163 Baxter Avenue, which will eventually be shifted to the location of the proposed driveway, as noted on the associated site plan (Plan of Land, dated 3/4/2024). 4.0 MITIGATION A line of staked straw wattles and/or silt fence will be installed at the limit of work prior to the start of project activities. These controls will remain in place and in operational condition until final site stabilization is complete. All construction materials will be staged as far from resource areas as possible. All debris from the site clearing process and construction process will be contained within appropriate receptacles and will be removed from the Site in a timely manner. No vegetation debris will remain on site. Any debris blowing around the site will be picked up immediate and contained within the appropriate receptacle. Drywells will be included to manage stormwater on site and no significant changes to existing site grades are proposed, therefore no changes to stormwater control or retention on the Site are anticipated. Upon completion of work all disturbed areas will be loamed and seeded for stabilization.
