Frank and Virginia Middleton(2006) 126 Skaket Beach Road
This COC request was held due to lack of mitigation. The original Order was to build 2 new houses and take down an existing one and to allow a 50’ naturalized buffer from the salt marsh. The drive and part of the yard are in Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage. Only 1 new house was built and the old house was not moved. They are now offering a no-mow zone on the water side of the existing drive which would range from a 6 to 40’ buffer and also a no-mow zone on the north side of the house of approximately 40’. An as-built was submitted to show the mitigation areas.

The COC request was held due to changes in the landscaping plan where as the 5 red cedars were not viable. This proposal includes 4 red cedars (4-5’ height) and 2 groupings of bayberry, beach plum or viburnum. They would like to post a bond for this work and have the COC released.

At the first site visit, 10 trees were tagged in Pink to prune and 9 trees were tagged in Orange to remove in the buffer. 12 other trees are tagged in Orange to remove outside the buffer.
At the second site visit, 9 trees were tagged in Orange for removal in the buffer and 1 tree was tagged in pink for pruning in the buffer. 5 of the 9 trees are oaks. One of these oaks is of a substantial size. The remaining 4 trees are a pitch pine, a locust, a sassafras tree, and a dead sassafras. None of these trees are leaning toward the house. Work by A to Z Treez. Work is within 100’ to a freshwater wetland or a coastal bank.
Revised Plan
Charles Silbert (2009) 68 Keziah’s Lane
The site plan has been revised to show a minor alteration to the driveway, the relocation of a portion of the circular drive. Although this would increase the amount of drive within the 100’ buffer it would reduce the number of curb cuts.
