Re: Notice of Intent
71 Sunset Lane Renovation Project
71 Sunset Lane, Barnstable, MA
Dear Members of the Conservation Commission:
On behalf of the Hamel Family 2018 Revocable Trust (the “Applicant”) Tighe & Bond is pleased
to submit a Notice of Intent to the Town of Barnstable Conservation Commission for the 71
Sunset Lane Renovation Project (referred to as “the Project”). The proposed Project includes
the demolition of an existing sunroom, second-story deck, landing, and recessed exterior
rinse station, and the construction of a new two-story, three-season room, along with the
installation of a freestanding at-grade rinse station.
The proposed Project activities will occur within coastal wetland resource areas subject to
protection under the MA Wetlands Protection Act (MA WPA) and Chapter 237 of the Town of
Barnstable General Ordinances. Work will occur within the Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank.
This Notice of Intent also requests approval for an existing fire pit in the Buffer Zone that was
installed prior to the Applicant’s purchase of the property. As the fire pit is located within the
0’ to 50’ Buffer, the NOI includes a Waiver for this request.
Nine (9) copies of the NOI application are enclosed. An electronic copy of the application will
be submitted to the Conservation Commission. Filing fees in accordance with the MA WPA and
Barnstable Wetlands Protection Bylaw have been provided to the Commission with this
submittal. The state share of the MA WPA filing fee will be sent to the MassDEP dropbox.
We believe the attached narrative is sufficient to allow the Commission to issue an Order of
Conditions, as the work will not compromise the interests of the WPA or the Barnstable
Wetlands Protection Bylaw.
We look forward to discussing the Project with you at the next Conservation Commission
public meeting scheduled for October 28, 2025. If you have any questions regarding this
application or if you require additional information, please contact me at 617-640-2055 or
bangus@tighebond.com.
Very truly yours,
TIGHE & BOND, INC.

The Project Site/”limit of work” consists of approximately 470 square feet (sf) and is
defined as the extent of temporary and permanent disturbance to areas subject to
jurisdiction required for the residential property renovations; as well as any associated
equipment laydown/staging areas and areas proposed for temporary site access during
construction.
The Project Site is located within and adjacent to jurisdictional resource areas as further
described below.
2.2 Wetland Resource Areas
The following wetland resource areas identified within the Project Site are subject to
jurisdiction under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MA WPA; M.G.L. c. 131 §
40), the MA WPA Regulations (310 CMR 10.00), and the Barnstable Wetlands Protection
Bylaw (Chapter 237 of the Code of the Town of Barnstable):
▪ Coastal Beach
▪ Coastal Bank
▪ Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (LSCSF)
▪ 100-foot Buffer Zone
The following additional wetland resource areas identified within the Project are also
subject to jurisdiction under the Barnstable Wetlands Protection Bylaw only:
▪ Coastal Bank (Barnstable definition)
▪ 0- to 50-foot Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank
▪ 50- to 100-foot Buffer Zone to Coastal Bank
▪ 0- to 35-foot No Construction Zone to MHW
Descriptions of the jurisdictional wetland resource areas per the MA WPA and the
Barnstable Wetlands Protection Bylaw and Regulations are provided below.
Tidal datums were used to identify several of the wetland resource area bound aries and
these lines were confirmed during the delineation. Table 2 -1 lists the datums utilized in
the delineation, based on the historical NOAA Tide Station “Barnstable Harbor” Station

Jurisdictional wetland resource areas and Buffer Zones (local and state) are depicted on
the Project Drawings in Appendix B and Site Photographs in Appendix C.
2.2.1 Coastal Beach
Per 310 CMR 10.27(2), a Coastal Beach means unconsolidated sediment subject to wave,
tidal and coastal storm action which forms the gently sloping shore of a body of salt water
and includes tidal flats. Coastal Beaches extend from the mean low water line landward
to the dune line, coastal bank line or the seaward edge of existing man-made structures,
whenever these structures replace one of the above lines, whichever is closest to the
ocean.
The Coastal Beach at the site extends from MLW to the bottom of Coastal Bank. No work
is proposed in Coastal Beach.
2.2.2 Coastal Bank
Per 310 CMR 10.30(2), A Coastal Bank means the seaward face or side of any elevated
landform, other than a coastal dune, which lies at the landward edge of a coastal beach,
land subject to tidal action, or other wetland.
In accordance with the Barnstable Wetland Protection Bylaw, Coastal Bank is defined as:
“The first significant break in slope beyond the one-hundred-year storm elevation on a
seaward face or elevated landform, other than a coastal dune, which lies at the landward
edge of a coastal beach, land subject to tidal action, or other coastal wetland. The slope
of the bank must be greater than 18% and serve to contain storm flowage, rather than
being inundated by it, or function as a sediment source.”
The Coastal Bank was identified as the inland landform abutting the shoreline and is
depicted in the Project Drawings in Appendix B. In accordance with the Town of
Barnstable’s definition under Chapter 237 of the Wetlands Protection Bylaw, the Coastal
Bank is characterized as a seaward-facing landform with a slope greater than 18%, located
landward of a Coastal Beach. The top of Coastal Bank coincides with the first break in
slope above the 100-year floodzone. The lower limit of Coastal Bank generally coinc ides
with the toe of the stone revetment. While each set of guidelines specifies minimum slope
requirements for the determination of Coastal Bank, both criteria are met is the same
location based on the topography of the existing property.
Section 2 Existing Environment Tighe&Bond
71 Sunset Lane Renovations
Notice of Intent
2-4
The sloped Coastal Bank is presently stable and provides protection to the upland from
storm surge and the influence of tidal fluctuations. Portions of the Coastal Bank are
covered in vegetation including Beach rose, Wild radish, Seaside Goldenrod, and Virgina
Creeper.
2.2.3 Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (LSCSF)
Per 310 CMR 10.04, LSCSF means land subject to any inundation caused by coastal storms
up to and including that caused by the 100-year storm, surge of record or storm of record,
whichever is greater.
The (FEMA) flood map (Panel No. 25001C0558J, effective July 16, 2014) was consulted to
evaluate the presence of LSCSF. According to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM),
the Project Site falls within Zone VE, a flood hazard area subject to flooding and/or
inundation by the 100-year storm with additional hazards associated with storm waves
equal to 3 feet or greater. The Base Flood Elevation (BFE) in this region within Zone VE is
14 feet. Therefore, the area of the Project Site consisting of the existing beach access
stone stairway is regulated as LSCSF as it falls within the jurisdictional 100-year coastal
floodzone. A FEMA Firmette is provided in Appendix A.
2.2.4 100-Foot Buffer Zone
Per 310 CMR 10.04, Buffer Zone means that area of land extending 100 feet horizontally
outward from the boundary of any area specified in 310 CMR 10.02(1)(a).
The Buffer Zone within the Project Site extends landward from the top of the Coastal Bank .
2.2.5 50-Foot and 50- to 100-Foot Buffer Zones
Pursuant to the Barnstable Wetlands Protection Bylaw (Chapter 237) and Wetlands Buffer
Zone Activity (Chapter 704), the Barnstable Conservation Commission regulates a 50-Foot
Undisturbed Buffer Zone that extends horizontally outward from the landward most
resource area boundary. At the Project Site, the 50-Foot Buffer extends from Coastal
Bank. The 50 to 100-Foot Buffer Zone extends 50 feet horizontally outward from the
boundary of the 50-Foot Buffer Zone and terminates at the outer edge of the 100 -Foot
Buffer Zone.
2.2.6 35-Foot No Construction Zone
At the Project Site, the 0- to 35-foot No Construction Zone extends 35 feet from the
boundary of MHW and terminates at the seaward edge of the Coastal Bank.
2.3 Rare Species
The Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) is implemented by the Natural
Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) to protect areas determined to
contain endangered, threatened or species of special concern. These areas are designated
as “Priority Habitats of Rare Species” or “Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife” under the
MESA Regulations 321 CMR 10.00 and are delineated state-wide in the Massachusetts
Natural Heritage Atlas.
The NHESP Atlas, 15th edition, effective August 2021, and MassGIS online mapping data
were consulted during the preparation of this NOI. According to these sources, and as
Section 2 Existing Environment Tighe&Bond
71 Sunset Lane Renovations
Notice of Intent
2-5
shown on Figure 2 (Appendix A), no portion of the Site is mapped Estimated and Priority
Habitat for state-listed rare species.
2.4 Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC)
MassGIS online mapping data was consulted during the preparation of this NOI. According
to this source, and as shown on Figure 2 (Appendix A), a portion of the residential property
at 71 Sunset Lane is located within the Sandy Neck Barrier Beach System ACEC. The ACEC
boundary generally follows the 100-year floodplain elevation on the landward side and
mean low water on the seaward side of Barnstable Harbor. The proposed Project is entirely
outside the ACEC and will not involve any work within its boundary.

Project Description
3.1 Proposed Activities
3.1.1 Residential Construction
The proposed Project involves several activities described blow:
▪ On east side of the residence, the Applicant proposes removal of the existing
enclosed porch and deck and the construction of a new two-story, three-season
room in the same footprint as the existing porch and deck. The work will begin with
the demolition and disposal of the current sunroom, second-story roof deck, and
the landing/step.
Following demolition of the existing sunroom and related exterior features,
excavation will be carried out to a depth of approximately 5 feet below grade to
accommodate new footings and foundation walls. This area will serve as a
crawlspace rather than a full basement. The excavation is expected to extend
approximately 3 feet beyond the edge of the footings shown on the Project
Drawings and Appendix B and will be completed using machinery. The two-story
addition will be constructed directly on the new foundation and integrated into the
existing structure without the addition of an external doorway. A new roof will be
built to cover the entire addition, tying into the existing roofline.
The three-season porch is currently 117.84 sf, with the most seaward edge located
48.07 feet from the top of Coastal Bank. The proposed replacement will maintain
the current size and distance from Coastal Bank. All construction activities including
access and excavation will be located approximately 80 feet from MHW at the most
seaward extent.
▪ The existing recessed exterior rinse station on the west side of the house will also
be removed to allow for the installation of a new interior foundation wall, closing
the existing recess and increasing the home’s interior square footage. An additional
area requiring hand excavation to a depth of approximately 4 feet is planned where
the new foundation wall will be installed in place of the removed recessed rinse
station. A free-standing rinse station will be installed. The rinse station will feature
wooden decking over existing grade. The rinse station will be plumbed and will not
drain grey water to the exterior or feature a dry well.
The proposed rinse station is 41.48 sf in area with the most seaward edge located
60 feet from the top of Coastal Bank. All construction activities including access
and excavation will be located approximately 80 feet from MHW at the most
seaward extent.
▪ The NOI also seeks approval for a firepit that was installed by the previous owners
of the property. During pre-filing communication with the Conservation
Administrator, it became apparent that no approvals had been sought for the
firepit, which the Applicant proposes to maintain in place.
Section 3 Project Description Tighe&Bond
71 Sunset Lane Renovations
Notice of Intent
3-2
The firepit consists of a hollow ring of stone sitting on the ground. The firepit
consists of 7.32 sf of hardscape. The most seaward edge of the firepit is 18.22 feet
from the top of Coastal Bank.
3.2 Anticipated Construction Sequence
All site access will be provided via the existing entrance at 71 Sunset Lane (the Project
Site). Construction vehicles and equipment will utilize this access point throughout the
duration of the Project. A designated materials and equipment staging area wi ll be located
on the residence’s parking area on the street side of the property.
Access to the east side of the house will be provided through removal of existing fencing
segments to allow for equipment to access the necessary excavation area. Following
demolition of the existing sunroom and landing area, the limits of the proposed add ition
will be excavated to an approximate depth of 5 feet to allow for building footing and
foundation wall construction. Upon backfill of foundation excavation, disturbed areas will
be restored with loam and seed to establish vegetation as soon as practicable. Vertical
building construction will continue with framing, roofing, window installation and exterior
finishes.
At the proposed rinse station on the west side of the building, excavation is required to
expose foundation a beneath existing recessed shower. No machine work is anticipated
as excavations will be performed by hand. Excavations will be performed to an
approximate depth of 5 feet to allow for new footing and foundation wall construction.
Following foundation construction, excavations will be backfilled. Rinsing station fencing
and decking will be installed, and all disturbed areas will be restored with loa m and seed
to establish vegetation as soon as practicable.
The anticipated sequence of construction for the Project is generally outlined below. The
actual sequence of construction is subject to the discretion of the selected contractor.
Due to construction safety concerns, the contractor will be responsible for providing public
safety protection measures, including temporary construction fencing around the limit of
work to ensure that the public stays at a safe distance from active equipm ent and does
not enter potentially unsafe active work areas. Truck deliveries and site work will be
performed within hours limited by the Town , or as further defined by Project specifications.
Performing site work within hours specified by the Town work hour requirements will help
mitigate construction-related noise impacts on neighbors.
The contractor will be required to maintain appropriate erosion and sedimentation controls
at the downgradient side of all site work activities while working.
Construction sequencing is anticipated to occur as follows:
▪ Notify pertinent regulatory agencies and abutters of the construction schedule
▪ Install sedimentation and erosion controls / protective measures at work site
perimeter
▪ Schedule and conduct site walks with pertinent regulatory agencies to inspect
construction-phase BMPs
▪ Site mobilization and material staging
Section 3 Project Description Tighe&Bond
71 Sunset Lane Renovations
Notice of Intent

▪ Foundation excavation on east side of building
▪ Construction of building footing and foundation walls, crawlspace flooring poured
▪ Stabilize disturbed areas following backfill activities
▪ Vertical addition construction
▪ Hand excavation at west side of house for foundation construction
▪ Construct new footing and foundation wall
▪ Install rinse station
▪ Stabilize disturbed areas
▪ With Conservation Commission authorization, remove erosion and sedimentation
controls / protective measures at work site perimeter and entrance/exit locations
and properly dispose off-site
▪ Demobilize and perform final site cleanup
3.3 Construction Best Management Practices
The following Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented during construction
to minimize the potential for impacts to jurisdictional resource areas. The Town and
contractor will reserve the right to require supplemental and/or alternative constru ction
BMPs during work depending on site and weather conditions. As noted below, in some
instances specific construction means and methods will be determined by the contractor.
However, the contractor will be restricted to the limit of work depicted on the Project
Drawings.
3.3.1 Erosion and Sedimentation Controls
The contractor will be required to maintain appropriate erosion and sedimentation controls
at the downgradient side of all construction activities. Erosion and sedimentation control
measures (silt fence) will be installed between proposed areas of disturbance and resource
areas as shown on Project Drawings and as deemed necessary. Use of non-biodegradable
mesh materials will be avoided.
Supplemental and/or alternative construction BMPs may be required during work,
depending on site and weather conditions. The contractor will be responsible for complying
with permits issued for the Project. In addition:
▪ The contractor will be required to maintain a reserve supply of erosion and
sedimentation control barriers on-site to make repairs, as necessary
▪ Protective measures will be inspected after significant precipitation events.
Maintenance and repairs will be conducted, as necessary
At the conclusion of the Project, the erosion control barriers will be removed and properly
disposed of off-site following the stabilization of disturbed areas and Conservation
Commission authorization.

3.3.2 Spill Prevention and Control
The contractor will be required to conduct the work in an environmentally safe manner
and in accordance with applicable regulations for the management of fuels, waste oils,
and hazardous substances.
3.3.2 Soil Stockpiles
A limited amount of material will be excavated during the installation of the new foundation
for the Project. Excavated materials will be replaced immediately following foundation and
fence post installation. Stockpiles will be surrounded by erosion contro ls to protect
resource areas.
3.4 Site Stabilization and Restoration
The areas of construction will remain in stable condition at the close of each construction
day via the use of appropriate erosion and sedimentation control measures. Erosion
control measures will be inspected at the close of each construction day and main tained
or reinforced as necessary. All erosion and sedimentation control measures will be
inspected, cleaned, or replaced during construction and will remain in place until
permanent stabilization is achieved. Temporary construction access and staging areas will
be restored to existing conditions following construction.
All disturbed areas will be stabilized and restored . Existing surface treatments will be
restored to proposed grades and elevations upon completion of work. These proposed
conditions are depicted on the Project Drawings provided in Appendix B.

The MA WPA regulations do not contain any performance standards specific to Buffer Zone.
Permanent impacts in Buffer Zone are associated with installation of the rinse station and
firepit. Impacts to wetland resource areas from temporary work in the Buffer Zone will be
minimized and mitigated through the use of construction period best management
practices. Temporary construction access and staging areas will be restored to existing
conditions following construction.
As described in this NOI, the Project has been designed to satisfy the requirements of 310
CMR 10.03(1)(a)(3). Further, as described in Section 3.3, construction-period erosion
control barriers will be installed and maintained to protect wetland resource areas and
define the limits of work.
4.2 Barnstable Wetlands Protection Bylaw
The Town of Barnstable has established a Wetlands Protection Bylaw (Chapter 237 of the
Code of the Town of Barnstable), effective December 1987, regarding activities within
their jurisdiction as well as administrative procedures relative to proposed Projects . The
Barnstable Conservation Commission also regulates activities within the 100-foot Buffer
Zone under Chapter 704 of the Code of the Town of Barnstable. Of the Commission’s
current regulations, the following are pertinent to the proposed activities.
Section 4 Regulatory Compliance Tighe&Bond
71 Sunset Lane Renovations
Notice of Intent
4-2
The Performance Standards outlined in Section 704-3 are applicable to projects requiring
a Notice of Intent.
▪ Section 704-3A: A 50 ft undisturbed buffer zone shall be retained between the
landward-most wetland resource areas and the limit of proposed site disturbance.
The proposed Project is limited to renovations of an existing single-family dwelling.
Portions of the existing residence and landscaped yard are located in the 50-foot
Buffer Zone. A small portion of the existing three-season porch is located in the
50-foot Buffer; the seaward edge of the porch is 48 feet from the top of Coastal
Bank. The footprint of the renovated porch will remain the same in the proposed
condition. All hardscape associated with the new rinse station on the west side of
the house is located outside of the 50-foot buffer.
The proposed work includes 70.3 sf of temporary impacts in the 50-foot Buffer
Zone on the east side of the residence for construction access to the three-season
porch.
The NOI also seeks approval for an existing firepit, which is located approximately
18.22 feet from the top of Coastal Bank. The area of new hardscape associated
with the firepit is 7.32 sf; mitigation is proposed as summarized below.
Although the Project does not meet the requirement for a 50-foot undisturbed
Buffer Zone due to existing conditions, no adverse impacts to the adjacent wetland
resource area are anticipated as a result of the temporary construction access or
firepit.
▪ Section 704-3B: WHERE A 50 FT UNDISTURBED BUFFER ZONE, as measured in
accordance with 704-2A, EXISTS prior to the proposed work and is proposed to
remain intact, proposed work within the 50 to 100 ft. buffer zone shall not require
further buffer zone enhancement.
Due to existing conditions within the 50 -foot Buffer Zone, the Site does not meet
the definition of an “undisturbed buffer” as outlined in §704-2A. The area within
50 feet of the Coastal Bank is already developed, containing portions of the existing
single-family dwelling, landscaped yard, and a firepit. As such, this standard is not
applicable.
▪ Section 704-3C: WHERE A 50 FT UNDISTURBED BUFFER ZONE, as measured in
accordance with 704-2A, DOES NOT EXIST prior to the proposed work, any work
proposed within the 100 ft. buffer zone shall be subject to mitigation planting
requirements intended to restore, in so far as possible, both the dimensions of a
50 ft undisturbed buffer and its vegetation. For such work proposed within the 50 -
100 ft zone, the calculation of mitigation is set forth in 704 -3D.
Due to existing conditions within the 50 -foot Buffer Zone, the Site does not meet
the definition of an “undisturbed buffer” as outlined in Section 704-2A.
The proposed Project includes work within the 50– to 100-foot Buffer Zone to
Coastal Bank. In accordance with Section 704-3(C), this work triggers a
requirement for mitigation planting intended to restore, to the extent practicable,
both the vegetative composition and dimensional extent of a 50-foot undisturbed
Section 4 Regulatory Compliance Tighe&Bond
71 Sunset Lane Renovations
Notice of Intent
4-3
buffer zone. As discussed in more detail below, the Applicant requests that the
Commission consider the Project Site to be a “mitigation-constrained site” and
seeks approval to provide a fee in lieu of mitigation in accordance with Sections
704-5(B) and 704-5(D), respectively.
▪ Section 704-3D: CALCULATION OF MITIGATION FOR WORK PROPOSED WITHIN
THE 50 TO 100 FT BUFFER – The amount of mitigation planting required for work
proposed within the 50 to100 ft. buffer zone shall be determined by the following
method:
o Calculate area of proposed hardscape within the 50 to 100 ft. buffer zone;
o Multiply the area found in 704-3D(a) by 3 to obtain the area of required
mitigation at a 3:1 planting to disturbance ratio.
o In no case shall the total area of mitigation plantings required be greater
than that which is necessary to restore a 50 ft. undisturbed buffer in its
entirety.
The proposed Project includes 41.48 sf of new hardscape within the 50- to 100-
foot Buffer Zone associated with installation of the new exterior rinse station.
There is no increase in hardscape associated with the renovated portion of the
residence on the east side. In accordance with Section 704-3D, mitigation planting
is required at a 3:1 ratio; based on the area of new hardscape, a total of 124.44
sf of mitigation is required. This area has been used to calculate the proposed in
lieu mitigation fee as noted below.
▪ Section 704-3E: LOCATION OF MITIGATION PLANTING - Mitigation planting
location(s) shall clearly be shown on the site plan. The plan shall also provide area
calculations for the amount of mitigation planting herein required, and the amount
of mitigation planting proposed.
The Applicant requests that the Commission allow an in lieu mitigation fee payment
instead of plantings, given the mitigation constrained nature of the site. As such,
no mitigation planting is shown on the Site Plan.
▪ Section 704-3F: BEST PRACTICES
o The Conservation Commission shall exercise a preference for pervious
surface types of hardscape.
o Where possible and practical, proposed hardscape within the 50 to 100 ft.
buffer zone shall be located no closer than 10 ft from the landward limit of
the 50 ft buffer zone, so that attendant construction, landscaping and
maintenance activities may proceed without impact to the 50 ft buffer zone.
The hardscape associated with the proposed rinse station will be wooden decking
with small gaps between each plank. No roof is proposed on the rinse station.
The most seaward side of the proposed rinse station is located 60 feet from the
top of Coastal Bank, in compliance with the second part of Section 704-3F.
Section 4 Regulatory Compliance Tighe&Bond
71 Sunset Lane Renovations
Notice of Intent
4-4
The Performance Standards for projects requiring a waiver for activities in the 50 -Foot
Buffer Zone are outlined at Section 704-4.
▪ Section 704-4A: HARDSCAPE OR LANDSCAPE ALTERATION PROPOSED WITHIN
THE 50 FT. BUFFER, (except as noted in Section 704-6 below) shall require a full
or partial waiver of the Performance Standards found in Section 704-3. The
Conservation Commission shall have the discretion to grant a waiver should it find
that the overall project, when considered with its proposed mitigation, will protect
the wetland interests contained in Ch. 237. The waiver shall specify the terms of
acceptable mitigation in accordance with Section 704-4(B), and either Section 704-
4(C) or 704-5 below. To the extent feasible and practical, work should be avoided
within the 50 ft buffer. Therefore, the granting of a waiver and acceptance of
mitigation for work performed within the 50 ft. buffer should be cons idered only
under exceptional, limited circumstances. In the absence of a waiver, hardscape
or landscape alteration proposed within the 50 ft. buffer shall not be undertaken.
The Applicant requests a Waiver from Performance Standards outlined in Section
704-3 for activities in the 50-foot Buffer Zone; such activities are limited to the
existing firepit. The proposed renovations to the three-season porch and new rinse
station do not involve permanent impacts or new hardscape in the 50 -foot buffer.
The continued use of the fire pit will not adversely affect the adjacent Coastal Bank
or the interests outlined in Chapter 237. Mitigation for the firepit has been
calculated as noted below.
▪ Section 704-4B: CALCULATION OF MITIGATION UNDER A WAIVER – The minimum
amount of mitigation planting required for a waiver of Performance Standards
(Section 704-3) shall be determined using the following formula:
o Calculate area of disturbance from proposed hardscape and landscape
alterations within the 50 ft. buffer zone; and
o Multiply the area found in Section 704-4(B)(1)a by 4 to obtain the area of
required mitigation at a 4:1 planting to disturbance ratio.
The area of the firepit in the 50-foot buffer is 7.32 sf. Mitigation is required at a
4:1 ratio; therefore, 29.28 sf of mitigation is required. This area has been used to
calculate the proposed in lieu mitigation fee as noted below.
▪ Section 704-4C: ON-SITE MITIGATION UNDER A WAIVER – When the required
mitigation is to be provided on site, mitigation planting location(s) shall clearly be
shown on the site plan. The plan shall also provide area calculations for the amount
of 50 ft buffer zone altered, the amount of mitigation planting herein required, and
the amount of mitigation planting proposed.
The Applicant requests that the Commission allow an in lieu mitigation fee payment
instead of plantings, given the mitigation constrained nature of the site. As such,
no mitigation planting is shown on the Site Plan.
▪ Section 704-5B: MITIGATION CONSTRAINED SITES - (1) Certain sites requiring
mitigation may not, from the perspective of the Commission, lend themselves to
mitigation planting or meadow restoration (in part or in full) because of their
landscape setting. For example an existing house close to the top of a coastal bank
Section 4 Regulatory Compliance Tighe&Bond
71 Sunset Lane Renovations
Notice of Intent
4-5
may have limited space for an expanded buffer to mitigate under this Regulation.
For such "mitigation-constrained" projects, the Commission may, at the applicant's
request, consider off-site mitigation or in-lieu fees in order to achieve the required
mitigation, as provided in Sections 704-5(C) and 704-5(D) below
In accordance with the provisions of Section 704 -5B, the Applicant requests that
the Commission find that the Project Site is “mitigation constrained.” The property
features a small lawn area between the residence and the Coastal Bank, and
narrow strips of lawn on each side of the house. As referenced in the criteria above,
the existing house close to the top of a coastal bank has “limited space for an
expanded buffer to mitigate under this Regulation .” The Applicant requests that
the Commission allows an alternative to mitigation plantings given the constraints
of the Site.
▪ Section 704-5D: REQUEST TO PAY FEES IN LIEU OF MITIGATION . (1) Request to
Pay Fees in Lieu of Off-site Mitigation – For payment of fees in lieu of mitigation to
be considered the following preconditions must be satisfied: a. the Commission
must find that the project site is "mitigation-constrained"; b. the
applicant/representative must request in writing that the Commission consider
payment of fees in lieu of mitigation for the project;
As noted above, through this NOI, the Applicant requests that the Commission
make a finding that the Project Site is “mitigation constrained.” The NOI narrative
constitutes the Applicant’s request in writing that the Commission consider
payment of fees in lieu of mitigation.
▪ (2) In-Lieu Fees may be calculated as follows: multiply the total area of required
mitigation planting calculated for the project by $3.50 per square foot or in
accordance with the current Conservation Commission Fee Schedule.
The areas of required mitigation plantings for the Project are summarized below:

by MGL Ch 40A Sec 8 or other suitable entity acceptable to the Conservation
Commission In-Lieu Fees shall paid at the time of recording of the Order of
Conditions. Once received, such payments shall be non-refundable.
Pending the Commission’s approval of the request to provide an in lieu mitigation
payment, the amount calculated per Section 704-5D(3) will be provided to one of
the funds described above.
4.2.1 Stormwater
The Project will not increase stormwater flows or volume, or impact stormwater quality at
the Site. Construction period and post-construction stormwater impacts have been
minimized by design and use of Best Management Practices (BMPs) in accordance with
the Massachusetts Stormwater Management Regulations.
4.2.2 Abutter Notification
Abutters within 100 feet of the subject parcel were notified in accordance with the MA
WPA and Barnstable Wetlands Bylaw and Regulations. Please refer to the materials
provided in Appendix D.
4.3 Other Pertinent Regulatory Programs
4.3.1 Federal Permits
4.3.1.1 NPDES Construction General Permit (CGP)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issues National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permits (CGP) as a part of the effort to
minimize detrimental runoff caused by the clearing, grading, and excavating or general
construction activities on construction sites. Since the land disturbance will not exceed the
CGP impact threshold of more than one acre of land, a NPDES CGP permit is not required.
4.3.1.2 Army Corps of Engineers Section 10 / 404 PCN
The Project does not involve work below MHW and is not subject to jurisdiction under
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 or to jurisdiction under Sections 40 4 or
404 of the Clean Water Act.
4.3.2 State Permits
4.3.2.1 Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) Review
Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) review is required for projects that meet
a MEPA review threshold at 310 CMR 11.03 and that involve a state agency action (i.e.
permit, land transfer, or financial assistance). As proposed, the Project does not exceed
any MEPA thresholds or involve a state action; therefore, MEPA review is not required.
4.3.2.2 Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA)
The Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) is implemented by the Massachusetts
Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) to protect areas determined
to contain endangered, threatened or species of special concern. These areas are
designated as “Priority Habitats of Rare Species” under the MESA Regulations (321 CMR
10.00) and are delineated state-wide in the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas.
Section 4 Regulatory Compliance Tighe&Bond
71 Sunset Lane Renovations
Notice of Intent
4-7
The Project is not located within mapped NHESP habitat area and does not require review
under the MA WPA or MESA.
4.3.2.3 Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC Review)
A project is subject to review by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) / State
Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) if it requires funding, permits, or licenses from any
state or federal agencies. MHC reviews projects requiring state agency action in
compliance with 950 CMR 71.00 and, for projects that require state and federal permits,
in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as
amended). The Project does not require state or federal agency review and there fore MHC
review is not required.
4.3.3 Local Permits
No other local non-ministerial permits are required from the Town of Barnstable.
