NOI SE 12 – 815 REID SILVA FOR ROBERT SCHIFF; 20 David’s Way; AP 21-21.1, 22: Ms. Malkin opened the public hearing at 12:31 PM. Mr. Silva reviewed the plan to remove an existing brick patio and build a screened porch addition with a four-foot frost wall foundation and a slab-on-grade floor. The project is within the 100-foot buffer zone of the top of a Coastal Bank on Vineyard Sound. The closest portion of the excavation work is approximately 75 feet from the top of the bank. The site visit was discussed and the Commission asked why a frost wall foundation and slab are needed for a screened porch. Mr. Cramer explained the owners would like to install radiant heating in the concrete slab to take the chill out of the screened porch in the shoulder seasons.
The Commission discussed the project is already on disturbed land and it seems there will be no apparent adverse impact on the Coastal Bank resource. With no public comment a motion was made to close the hearing at 12:55 PM. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved. A subsequent motion was made to approve the plan as presented with the following special conditions: 1. All excavation spoils shall be removed from the site daily. If desired, the back fill in spoils shall be stored in the parking area. 2. All construction debris shall be removed from the site daily or stored in a covered dumpster located in the parking area. 3. The siltation barrier shall be installed and approved by the Conservation Agent before work begins. 4. The screened porch shall never be enclosed. The motion was seconded and with no further discussion passed unanimously with four in favor.
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE SE 12 – 784; OLS MVY, LLC; 11 Flanders Lane; AP 27.1-204: An Order was issued in February 2017 to demolish an existing house, build a new house within the same footprint of the original structure and install a new well. The project was within the 100-foot buffer zone of a Bordering Vegetated Wetland that eventually drains into Menemsha Pond. Ms. Holtham said Chuck H. recommends the project is in complete compliance with the Order. After reviewing photos a motion was made to accept the recommendation and issue the Certificate accordingly. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved with four in favor.
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE SE 12 – 794; OLS MVY, LLC; 11 Flanders Lane; AP 27.1-204: A second Order was issued in September 2017 to bury the utility lines within the road layout of Flanders Lane. A portion of the directional drilling trench went underneath a perennial stream that is channeled through a culvert under Flanders Lane. Chuck H. also recommends the project is in complete compliance. After reviewing several photographs a subsequent motion was made to accept the recommendation and issue the Certificate as being in complete compliance. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously with four in favor.
