RE: Minor Modification Request #2
Definitive Subdivision Plan No. 1648H — 63 Thacher Shore (PB 672 PG 82)
Dear Board Members:
tel. (508) 362-4541
Daniel A. Ojala, P.E., P.L.S.
Arne H. Ojala, P.E., P.L.S.
Daniel E. Gonsalves, P.E., S.E.
Craig J. Ferrari, E.I.T., S.E.
Phellyp T. Tonial, E.I.T., S.E.
On behalf of our client, we respectfully submit this formal request for a minor modification to the
approved Definitive Subdivision Plan No. 1648H. Specifically, we are seeking relief from the following
requirements of the Town of Yarmouth Rules and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land:
- Section 4.2.3: Request to allow a centerline roadway grade of 8.75%, which exceeds the 8.0%
maximum allowed for minor streets and lanes.
- Section(s) 4.4 & 5.4.2: Request to modify shoulder drainage requirements due to the pervious
nature of the existing gravel road surface.
- Section 5.5.1: Request to allow the use of a drill hole set in rock in lieu of a concrete or granite
monument.
The existing maximum centerline grade is 8.75% which occurs between stations 4+00 and 4+50. This
increase is higher than the 8.0% permitted maximum for minor streets and lanes. While this exceeds the
standard maximum of 8.0%, the Planning Board may permit grades up to 12.0% in areas of unusual
topographic conditions. Notably, prior to construction, the right-of-way in this area featured grades
exceeding 12.0%.
During and following construction of the gravel roadway surface, field observations confirmed minimal
stormwater runoff due to the natural infiltration provided by the pervious gravel surface along with the
small overall drainage areas. As such, the construction of grass swales is considered unnecessary. This
conclusion was confirmed in consultation with the Town Engineering Department and Planning Staff
during an on -site review.
Regarding monumentation, two concrete bounds were proposed along the right-of-way property lines. One
was installed per plan, and the second was replaced with a drill hole set in rock due to site constraints
preventing access for proper concrete bound installation. The location of the displaced monument and its
bearing and distance are shown on the as built roadway plan with an appropriate tie line.
In addition, the 2-inch water line required for the residential fire sprinkler system has been installed as
proposed, along with the gas sleeve. Electric and cable conduits are to be installed through the existing 10-
foot-wide electric easement as shown on the approved Definitive Subdivision Plan.
This letter serves to certify, to the best of my knowledge and professional judgment, that the work
described above was performed in substantial compliance with the approved Definitive Subdivision Plan
of Land. Furthermore, we respectfully request your review and approval of the above -described
modifications from the Town of Yarmouth Rules and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.' of Mq�

Very truly yours, OJALA
