(BSC) Is pleased to present the following application package for a multi-family residential development at 811 Route 28, pursuant to Section 414 of the Town of Yarmouth Zoning Bylaws, for a VCOD development. The following summary has been prepared to assist the Town in its review of the proposed development, as outlined in the Operational Regulations of the Yarmouth Planning Board. Existing Site The site exists today as a developed single-family residence. The parcel contains 25,500± square feet of uplands and is located on Route 28 In the B2 Zoning District and the HMOD1, VC2 Overlay Districts. The site currently has two curb cuts near the northeast and northwest corners of the property. The more westerly curb cut Is a shared driveway, which Is also used by 807 Route 28, a commercial property. The dwelling Is served by municipal water, gas, overhead electric & telecommunication utilities. The site includes an on-site sewage disposal system for sanitary sewage disposal. In addition to the single-family dwelling, the site also contains a large shed that Is located in the southwest corner of the property. The front yard contains a large gravel open space, as well as portions of a parking lot, which serves the adjacent commercial property at 807 Route 28. Proposed Development The Applicant Is proposing to construct a 2-story townhouse-style apartment building in the center of the property, containing eight (8), one-bedroom, townhouse-style apartment units. Prior to construction of the proposed site improvements, erosion & sedimentation controls will be established and the existing dwelling and shed will be demolished. Site Access The site is located on Main Street (Route 28), which is a State Highway. Therefore, an Access Permit is required by MassDOT prior to construction. The Applicant is proposing to reconstruct the existing sidewalk that runs along Route 28 in front of the property, which will likely be required by MassDOT. In addition, the easterly curb cut will be closed, and the shared driveway on the western side of the property will be reconfigured to serve the proposed development, as well as the adjacent site at 807 Route 28. The proposed driveway is 230 feet long and will provide access to each of the units. A paved turnaround is included for Fire Department access and turnaround. Each unit will have Its own parking space in front of the unit. 349 Main Street, Route 28, Unit D / West Yarmouth, MA 02673 / 508-778-8919 Wastewater The design includes a septic system that is located on the western side of the building, underneath the common driveway. Soil testing was performed by BSC and witnessed by the Yarmouth Health Division Staff In November 2023. Five (5) test pits were excavated, evaluated and logged. Site soils are comprised of fine sand with generally 2-3 feet of overburden consisting of loamy sand topsoil and subsoil. Groundwater was observed in Test Pits 3, 4 & 5 at depths of 120, 120 and 115" below the existing ground surface, respectively. Percolation testing was performed in Test Pits 3 and 5, yielding a result of less than 2 minutes per inch. Stormwater Management Stormwater management facilities have been designed in accordance with the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook. Catch basins located at the northern and southern end of the driveway will collect stormwater runoff from the driveway and surrounding pervious areas. Collected stormwater from these areas will be treated via water quality structure and then conveyed to a subsurface Infiltration system consisting of twenty-one (21) Cultec R-330XLHD leaching chambers for attenuation and groundwater recharge. Stormwater runoff from the building roof will be collected by gutters and conveyed via roof drains to an Infiltration system located on the eastern side of the building, consisting of ten (10) Cultec R-150XLHD leaching chambers. In addition to these systems, the stormwater design for this facility also includes a bio- retention area (rain garden) in the southeast corner of the site, which will manage stormwater runoff from the eastern side yard. Each of these systems has been designed in accordance with the Massachusetts Stormwater Management Standards, as is capable of attenuating peak runoff associated with a 100-year storm. Utility Services Other utility services required to support this project include domestic water, electric, telecommunications and natural gas. The existing water service will be upgraded to a 2" domestic water service and reconfigured to serve the proposed building. Existing electrical service to the house is provided by overhead wire to a riser pole located along the eastern boundary of the site, approximately 75 feet away from Route 28. The applicant is proposing to maintain the overhead electrical service to this pole but will provide a new underground service to the building from this point. The final design will ultimately be as approved by Eversource. The site Is also served by natural gas. The existing service will be decommissioned, and a new gas service will be installed to serve the new building. This design will ultimately be as approved by National Grid. We look forward to presenting this project to the Town. In the interim, please feel free to contact us, should you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, BSC Group, Inc. Brian G.
