Request by the Town Administrator to transfer $16,000 from the Wetlands Protection Fund to the General Fund for FY10. This Fund is comprised of our filing fees and generates $10,000+ a year. This is the Fund we use to pay legal fees and can be used for expenses of the Conservation Department. The current balance in this Account is $56,991.46 (after the transfer of $21,000 for FY09).
Scott and Melissa Rockman 3 Longstreet Lane
The Rockmans are potential buyers of this property and dwelling. They would like to take down the house and build a new one. This dwelling is in Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage, a resource area. Under our Regulations 196A-14 Buildings in Resource Areas A. an increase in the size of the building in a resource area including footprint, square footage, or cubic volume is presumed to have a significant adverse impact on the resource area. This is not a new Regulation. The new Regulation to extend the Cape Cod ACEC to 100’ from the 10’ contour, even though it applies to this site, is not relevant with this Application. It is already in a Resource Area.
