Re: Revised Plan Request – Stone Mulch
Cabana Patio Project (SE3-6134)
1500 Main Street
Cotuit, MA
Dear Mr. Hoopes:
This letter and attached supporting documentation requests Commission approval of a proposed plan revision
to the Caban Patio Project to install a small area of washed stone mulch instead of the 15 yews previously
proposed within the walled patio. The area of change is 58 square feet and is depicted on the attached
revised Sheets C2 and C4.
The washed stone mulch is completely pervious and will not be used as a walkable surface but rather as a
loose setting bed for a small sculpture and as such is still being considered a softscape element despite the
change in materials. Even if the stone mulch were considered hardscape, it would only require an additional
232 sf of mitigation planting which is still comfortably exceeded by the area offered. An updated Mitigation
Plantings Figure and Mitigation Summary Tables demonstrating compliance are attached for reference.
Enclosed is a completed Form R and supporting documentation (including two (2) stamped original Sheet C2
and C4 depicting the proposed change, a check in the amount of $50 and eight (8) collated copies of the
request. We would appreciate being added to the agenda of your earliest available hearing regardless of time
or date. If you have any questions or require any additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact me
directly by phone at 508-786-2230 or by email at sean.reardon@tetratech.com.
Very truly yours,
Sean P. Reardon, P.E.
Vice President, Tetra Tech
