Requesting a Variance
A variance from the Town of Yarmouth Wetland Protection Regulations, Part 6.02(1), 6.02(3)(a), and 6.02(3)(b), is requested to allow for reduced mitigation planting.
Due to the existing features of the site, there is no 35-foot undisturbed buffer zone landward of the wetland resource areas.
The current and intended uses for this site do not allow for this undisturbed buffer zone.
Due to space restrictions on the project parcel, 2:1 and 3:1 mitigation ratios cannot be met.
Approximately 1,352 square feet of mitigation planting is proposed for this project, a 0.92:1 ratio
While the proposed mitigation planting does not meet the performance standards outlined in the Yarmouth Wetlands Regulations, there is an immense public benefit from the proposed site
improvements, and mitigation has been provided as much as possible, within the space available.
