On behalf of my clients, Arlene and John Sousa, I am submitting 6 copies of a revised project plan for the above referenced project. Electronic copies of all documents will be emailed
to the conservation office and DEP SERO. The following items are enclosed:
Revised Plan entitled “Plan Showing Proposed Dock and Revetment Reconstruction”, by Shorefront Consulting and Down Cape Engineering, dated 12/17/22, REVISED 8/6/24, REVISED 9/9/24.
The plan has been revised to remove the proposed pervious walkway. The mitigation was revised to reflect the reduction in the proposed footprint, and increased from 2:1 to 3:1. The original
mitigation for the revetment was for an 8’ buffer strip along the revetment, which amounted to approximately 975 square feet. The proposed patio addition is 240 square feet. The patio
requires 3:1 mitigation, or 720 square feet. Therefore, the mitigation requirements total 1,695 square feet. The mitigation area landward of the revetment is increased to 10 feet wide
instead of 8 feet, and two additional triangled areas on each side have been added to accommodate the required mitigation area. The mitigation table on the plan was revised to reflect
existing and proposed structures in the 0-35 and 50-100 ft. buffer zones.
The planting totals were not adjusted on the plan (oversight) and still reflect 1,866 square feet. However, the planting list can be reduced so the totals become 1,705 square feet. A
revised table is below which can be part of the final order of conditions. Refer to the attached plan for locations and areas.
PLANT LIST (800± sq. ft.) QUANTITY(±) HEIGHT WIDTH POT SIZE SPACING COVERAGE (SQ. FT)
(VEGETATED BUFFER) PER PLANT (TOTAL)
BEARBERRY (Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi) 60 1' 4' 4" POT 12" 16 960
Virgina Rose (Rosa Carolina) 50 3' 3' 1 GALLON 4' 9 450
Beach Grass (Ammophila Breviligulata) 99± varies varies Plug 12" 3 297
and other low grasses 1,707±
NOTE: QUANTITIES SHOWN HERE ARE APPROXIMATE AND CAN BE ADJUSTED AS LONG AS THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOT COVERAGE EQUALS 1,705± SQUARE FEET.
Please schedule this filing for your September 19th, 2024 public hearing. If there are any questions or concerns regarding this filing, please contact me as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
