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 from Staff during the Design
Review meeting on May 7, 2024. The following summarizes the plan modifications that have resulted in the current
site plans, revised May 22, 2024:
· Moved the bicycle rack closer to the building.
· Relocated Infiltration System #1 several feet to the east and slightly south to allow more space to relocate
the proposed street trees.
· Moved the proposed trees along Route 28 further away from the street. The trees are now set back a
minimum of 16 feet from the edge of the right-of-way.
· Moved the dumpster 3-4 feet closer to the southern boundary (and into the 20-foot buffer to make it easier to
back out the driveway at the southern end of the building.
· Modified the proposed plantings in the southern buffer to meet the requirements of Section 414.8.9.3.
· Moved the four (4) proposed red maple shade trees several feet closer to the access drive and extended the
length of the two (2) landscaped medians by a distance of 2 feet to reduce pavement area and increase tree
canopy coverage.
· Reduced the number of shrubs around the perimeter of the paved turnaround. These areas have been
replaced with lawn.
I look forward to presenting the Project to the Planning Board at the June 5, 2024 public hearing. If you have any
questions or comments in the interim, please contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
BSC Group, Inc.
