5. The project has been approved by the Wellfleet Conservation Commission in accordance with MGL Chapter 131, S.40, the Wetlands Protection act, and with the Town of Wellfleet’s Environmental Protection Bylaw.
6. The granting of the floodplain exemption will not result in increased flood heights, decreased flood storage capacity, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, cause fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws.
7. If the proposed addition is below the base flood elevation, the issuance of the exemption will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance.
