Introduction This Notice of Intent (NOI) has been submitted to the Yarmouth Conservation Commission (the Commission) to permit the construction of an addition to the existing single-family home located at 36 Bentbluff Lane in Yarmouth (the site). The Town of Yarmouth Assessors Department references the site as Parcel ID #117-5. The proposed work occurs within the 100-foot buffer zone to a Bordering Vegetated Wetlands. Prior to the start of work, erosion controls will be installed to protect wetland resource areas. This application is being submitted in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Town of Yarmouth Wetlands Protection Bylaw. 2. Site Description The site consists of a single-family home with a paved driveway, deck, hot tub and patio to the rear, maintained lawn, landscaped areas, etc. The site is located to the north of Bentbluff Lane and south of Wier Road, surrounded by similar residential properties to the south and east. A Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW) is located to the west/rear of the home within a naturally wooded area. Environmental Consulting & Restoration, LLC (ECR) performed a wetland delineation at the site on September 20, 2024. ECR located the landward limit of the BVW that follows along the western property limit. BVW flags (pink and black ribbon) #A1 to #A7 were hung along the landward limit of the wetland system nearest the site to identify the limit of the wetland and the associated 100-foot buffer zone that extends over a portion of the site. ECR also located a Potential Vernal Pool (PVP) within the wetland system. ECR placed blue ribbon #PVP1 to #PVP3 in the field to mark the limit of the PVP for reference. As a result of the field work and review of available environmental databases, ECR confirms the site contains the following wetland resource areas and areas of Conservation Commission jurisdiction: • Bordering Vegetated Wetlands • 100-foot buffer zone to BVW Also, a review of the MassMapper database reveals the following: 1. The site is not located within an area mapped as Priority Habitat & Estimated Habitat for Rare Species according to the Massachusetts Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (MaNHESP). 2. The site does not contain or is near a Certified Vernal Pool according to the MaNHESP. However, there is a mapped Potential Vernal Pool located offsite to the west. 3. The site is not located within an area mapped as Land Subject to Flooding according to the FEMA Maps. 4. The site does not contain or is near a U.S.G.S. mapped stream. 5. The site is not located within an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). 3. Proposed Activities The purpose of this application is to authorize the construction of an addition to an existing single- family home. The proposed addition is located within the 100-foot buffer zone of the BVW. The proposed project will involve the following activities: • Installation of Erosion Controls – Prior to the start of work a siltsock will be installed along the proposed limit of work to protect the downgradient BVW. Notice of Intent 36 Bentbluff Lane, Yarmouth - 2 - | P a g e • Proposed Addition – The construction of a 20’ by 20’ addition is proposed at the southwest corner of the existing single-family home. The proposed addition is within the 100-foot buffer zone to BVW, but entirely landward of the 50-foot buffer zone. Furthermore, the proposed addition is located entirely within a portion of the site that currently exists as maintained lawn. • Landscape Activities - All disturbed areas surrounding the proposed addition will be restored and stabilized as lawn and/or landscape beds. All landscape plant materials proposed within the 100-foot buffer zone at the site will consist of native plant species. The proposed lawn will consist of environmentally friendly grass seed mix that requires little maintenance needs such as irrigation and fertilization. ECR recommends using a grass seed mix with a high content of tall fescues, which requires less irrigation and fertilization needs. 4. Summary The proposed addition has been designed to minimize impacts to the site and comply with the requirements of the MA Wetland Protection Act Regulations and the Town of Yarmouth Wetland Regulations. Specifically, the proposed addition complies with Part 6 of the Yarmouth Wetland Regulations, which relate to the Buffer Zone Requirements. To comply with these requirements the proposed addition is located landward of the 50-foot buffer zone, no work is proposed within the 35- foot buffer zone, and no new lawn is proposed onsite. To protect the nearby wetland, erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented and maintained throughout the duration of the construction process to prevent the conveyance of sedimentation into environmentally sensitive areas. Disturbed areas will be stabilized upon the completion of work, and if intense rainfall is expected, reinforcing control measures will be installed as needed to protect all wetland resource areas. The stockpiling of soil, if any, shall be located beyond the 50-foot buffer zone and surrounded by erosion controls as necessary. Erosion control measures shall remain in place and be maintained until such time that a Certificate of Compliance has been issued by the Yarmouth Conservation Commission, stating that the project has been constructed in accordance with the conditions set forth in the Order of Conditions. As a result, it is my opinion that the project protects the Interests of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Town of Yarmouth Wetlands Protection Bylaw for the adjacent Resource Area and the Applicant is entitled to an Order of Conditions approving the project.
