Request to pump and fill existing tank and leach pits in driveway area within 100’ to a freshwater wetland. The new system is outside the buffer in the driveway. The Site Plan does not show a fence and arbor attached to the main deck, a retaining wall from the steps to that deck, a concrete lip on the garage, gas tanks behind the garage, or a fence and compost bin next to the garage, This has been filed as an AR so that the Commission could request a more complete Plan with any other work in the buffer.

Proposed removal of bittersweet on the upper section of a coastal bank on the west side of the main dwelling.
Diane Speara 3 Captain’s Row
Proposed removal of one pitch pine that is failing and 7 black cherries that are fine and 1 locust stump. The work is in the naturalized area that also provides screening that was required for the building of this dwelling. The Tree Warden should be asked for his approval as the pine tree is near the road. The cherry trees should remain unless a substantial replacement plan is offered so that the naturalized area and screening remain.
