Staff present: Drew McManus, Conservation Agent, and Melissa Brown, Board Secretary
Jack Fitzsimmons called the meeting to order 6:55pm
Post Hearing Agenda:
Administrative Approval (SE 43-2423) 26 Little Neck Lane: The agent described the request by John Graci (contractor) for an administrative review to build a new retaining wall as current retaining solution is failing. Currently the property has two double stake silt fences, and the applicant and agent upon site visit noted a potentially severe erosion problem where the two fences would fail. The proposal is to build the retaining wall under the existing deck and further shore it up by adding 1 ½ “ stone alongside the wall itself. The agent originally had thought that plantings would be sufficient but upon further review noted the need for more stability and that new plan would compliment the existing drainage plans previously approved by the commission.
Motion made seconded and unanimously carried to approve plans administratively.
2) Administrative Approval (SE 43-2448) 112 Wading Place Rd: The agent described the request by Cape & Islands Engineering for an administrative review to reduce the size of the proposed garage. Currently the plan calls for the garage to meet up with the properties rock wall.
