RE: DRC Application, 811 Route 28
Dear Kathy,
BSC Group, Inc. (BSC) has revised the site plans for the proposed multi-family development at 811 Route 28 in
South Yarmouth. The plans were revised based on the comments that we received during the VCOD Site Plan
Review meeting on April 16, 2024. The following summarizes the plan modifications that have resulted in the current
site plans, revised April 26, 2024:
· Added a sidewalk connection to the existing sidewalk on Route 28.
· Moved the bike rack further away from the fire lane and added protective bollards.
· Added a 3’ x 3’ concrete pad to the rear of each unit for a condenser. The hot water heater will be located in
the closet below the stairs of each unit.
· Modified the design of the septic system. The previous design included 500-gallon precast concrete
chambers. These were replaced with Cur-tech CTL-12 chambers, which have a shallower profile.
· Swapped the location of Infiltration System #1 and the reserve area to provide greater separation to
between the infiltration and soil absorption systems.
· Modified the grading of the access drive to ensure more effective drainage of stormwater runoff.
· Decreased the overall length of the access drive and moved the dumpster out of the 20-foot buffer to the
residentially zoned properties to the south.
· Added four (4) new trees at intervals of 30 feet, along the southern boundary of the site to comply with the
VCOD buffer requirements.
· Modified site landscaping by replacing invasive species with non-invasives.
· Combined driveways of Units 1 & 2, Units 3 & 4, Units 5 & 6 and Units 7 & 8. This allowed us to increase the
width of the landscaped islands between Units 2 & 3 and Units 6 & 7, in order to provide larger canopy trees
in those locations.
· Added plantings to the proposed Rain Garden.
· Replaced English Yew with Holly throughout the site.

I look forward to presenting them to the Design Review Committee next week. If you have any questions or
comments in the interim, please feel free to reach out at your convenience.
