Discussion
Dushy Mahendran (2005) 40 Orie Lane
A COC was requested on June 10, 2008 and was refused because there were many changes to the Site Plan that had not been approved by the Commission, some of which were not on the As-Built Site Plan, and because the coastal bank had no vegetation. There was no Planting Plan.
The project differed from the Site Plan with a considerable increase in graveled area by the drive. The gravel now extends to the retaining wall by the entranceway, up to the side of the dwelling to the west, and even behind the dwelling. The entranceway stairs have been moved to the east. The walkway proposed along the eastern side of the dwelling has not been built and a new walkway has been built from the remodeled section to the south. There is an outside spiral stairway to the east that is not shown on the Site Plan. There are several small retaining walls that are not shown on the Site Plan. A large retaining wall was built to the north. Also to the north are air-conditioning units and a gas tank. An outside shower with a roof has been attached to the garage to the north. There is a stairway to the north that is not shown on the Plan.
A fir tree has died on the bank and has not been replaced.
Ryder and Wilcox has now submitted a list of changes for review and possible acceptance. The coastal bank has been planted with native shrubs and a new tree has been put in to replace the dead fir tree. A Site Visit may be necessary for this request.
Administrative Reviews
Molly Jenks 25 Kenneth Lane
Planting native species as part of mitigation work required under Order SE 54- 1765 which was issued in 2005. Work by Lindsay Strode (Cape Organics).
Nancy and Jamie Balliett 86 Great Oak Road
Replace shingles and trim on a small building 70 feet from a small wetland that is likely to be a vernal pool.
Jay Whitesides 69 Rock Harbor Road
Build a roof over an existing deck that is 400 feet away from the salt marsh but within 75 feet of the top of a coastal bank because of Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage. The marsh is not visible from the site. The deck is not proposed to be screened or glassed in. We have an As-Built Plan of when the deck was expanded in 2003 without filing with the Commission by a previous Owner.
Jay and Lisa Donegan 43 Gosnold Road
This dwelling is being renovated on the inside. They are also proposing to build a deck outside the buffer and an addition on a crawl space, and a proposed covered entry just touching the 100’ buffer to the top of a coastal bank. A second covered entry is proposed over an existing brick step within 50-60 feet of the top of the bank. A septic line is proposed from an addition on an existing shed to the main dwelling. There has been cutting without filing on the coastal bank but none of it is recent and the bank is stable. An addition within the 75’ buffer is shown on the Site Plan but is not part of this AR. A Request for Determination has been filed for this project (see below).
