LAWRENCE AND NANCY STAR; 7 Huckleberry Hollow; Map 13 Lot 9.1 Construct an addition with a basement foundation to the existing single-family residence with associated utilities; install a new septic system and landscape the site within the 100-foot buffer zone of a bordering vegetated wetland.

The closest activity is approximately 20 feet from the wetland edge.
3. INFORMAL CONSERVATION RESTRICTION DISCUSSION GEOGHAN COOGAN FOR RICHARD COLEMAN; Rockrose Path; AP 18- 92.2, 92.3: Mr. Coleman was seeking approval of a Form B subdivision of his property through the Planning Board (PB).~ The PB denied his application, but suggested that he come back with a plan that proposed a subdivision which includes two lots, one a buildable lot and one a resident homesite lot.
Mr. Coleman's goal was to subdivide the parcel, and for tax reasons then seek to place the whole property, both parcels, in conservation, by way of granting a conservation restriction in favor of the Town of Chilmark.
Given the PB's denial, Mr. Coleman would like to simply place the restriction on the existing two parcels, rather than go through with the permitting of the PB's suggestion, given that he is simply going to place the restriction on the property anyway.
4. CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE SE 12 – 586; 40 Larsen Lane; AP 27.1-33:
2009 Order of Conditions: Demolish the existing single-family residence and construct a new single-family residence. The activity takes place within the buffer zone of an isolated wetland. The nearest edge of the new structure is approximately 26 feet from the isolated wetland edge and is no closer to the wetland than the current house. The work area may be closer than 26 feet from the wetland edge during construction. The footprint and deck area of the new house will be larger than that of the current structure. The existing septic system will be used for the new house.
