WHEREAS, in accordance with §114-7(D) of the Town Code, the Board has considered the
following:
7
I. all available reports concerning the Proposed Action from other commissions,
including the CZMC, and any Town, County, State and/or Federal agencies, as well as
members of the public;
The Planning Board has reviewed the CZMC Letter and Wetlands Analysis prepared by Langan
Engineering, Environmental, Surveying, Landscape Architecture and Geology, D.P.C., dated June
28, 2022.
II. all relevant facts and circumstances pertaining to the Proposed Action, including but
not limited to:
a. any potential environmental impact of the Proposed Action:
Within the 100' Sheldrake River watercourse buffer, 6 trees are proposed to be removed and the
existing lawn area will be disturbed. Erosion control practices will be used during construction to
prevent any impact to the river and on the surrounding properties. Infiltrators will be installed to
control post construction runoff and provide some water quality benefits. Native trees and shrubs
will be planted throughout the property to provide habitat for birds, small animals and insects.
b. the alternatives to the Proposed Action:
The Planning Board determined that there are no feasible alternatives due to the property's
proximity to the Sheldrake River as well as the size of the Property, limiting the options for house
placement.
c. the impact of the Proposed Action on wetland functions and the benefits as set forth
in §114-1 of the Town Code:
The Planning Board has determined that the proposed action, once completed, will improve
wetland functions by reducing stormwater runoff from the property and providing some water
quality treatment of stormwater through infiltration. Native plantings will also enhance the buffer
area and provide some wildlife habitat.
III. The availability of preferable alternative locations for the Proposed Action on the
subject parcel:
The Planning Board determined that there are no suitable alternative locations for the Proposed
Action due to the size of the Property and its location near the watercourse.
IV. the availability of further technical improvements or safeguards that could feasibly be
added to the proposal;
The Planning Board determined the Proposed Action will use best management practices
for controlling sediment, soil erosion and stormwater runoff No further technical
improvements are suitable due to space constraints.
8
V. the possibility of avoiding reduction of the wetlands' or watercourse's natural capacity to
support desirable biological life, prevent flooding, control sedimentation and/or prevent
erosion, facilitate drainage, and provide recreation and open space;
The Planning Board determined that, the proposed action, once completed, will not hinder
the watercourse's natural ability to support desirable biological life, prevent flooding, control
sedimentation and/or prevent erosion, facilitate drainage, and provide recreation and open
space. As stated above, the Proposed Action will improve conditions by reducing stormwater
runoff from the property and providing some water quality treatment of stormwater through
infiltration. Native plantings will also enhance the buffer area and provide some wildlife
habitat. No change in open space or access to recreation will occur due to the Proposed
Action.
VI. the extent to which the public or private benefit derived from such use may or may not
outweigh or justify the possible degradation of the wetland or watercourse, the interference
with the exercise of other property rights, and the impairment or endangerment of public
health, safety or welfare:
The Planning Board determined that the Proposed Action will be located on a private
property and erosion control practices will be used during construction to prevent any
adverse impact on the river and on the surrounding properties. Infiltrators will be installed
to control post construction runoff and to reduce flooding downstream. The private benefit
is the increase of usable space for the homeowner, safer conditions due to the replacing of
deteriorating retaining walls, removal of precarious trees, as well as safer entrance to and
exit from Forest Avenue by the homeowner and any visitors.
WHEREAS, the Planning Board has considered the Application and Plans; comments and
responses to questions by the Applicant and its representatives; the memos, letters, reports and
comments of the Town Engineer, the Town Building Inspector, the Town Environmental Planner,
the Town's Consulting Engineer and the CZMC, and has heard and considered the comments of
