LANDSCAPING PLAN
John and Lisa Donegan (2009), 43 Gosnold Road. This Landscaping Plan by Philip Cheney is to be part of the Order to renovate this dwelling. The Plan shows the removal of two sets of creosote retaining walls and steps to the north of the dwelling, and the rebuilding of these steps and walls with stone in a slightly different area. These steps face the community parking lot for Nauset Beach. Three pine trees and 1 cedar will have to be removed to construct the stairs. They are also showing the removal of 1 dead pine further toward the top of bank. English ivy near the dwelling is proposed for removal. The footprint has changed to show a bay window. Outside the 100’-buffer, the new proposed deck has been doubled, with a spa and a stone walkway shown to that area. There is 1 non-native species, a Japanese holly,
proposed within 50’ to the top of the coastal bank. The holly tree is not invasive. The Commission requested replacement trees for those being removed. Also, a new Site Plan should be submitted to show the bay window, the steps, and the current deck size so the Site Plan will be an accurate record of what exists at this location. The acceptance of the Landscaping Plan will be placed on hold.
