Applicant/Owner: GEORGE TORBAY
Dear Chairman Lee and Barnstable Conservation Commissioners,
On behalf the applicant, George Torbay, Marsh Matters Environmental (MME) submits the enclosed
Notice of Intent (NOI)(WPA Form 3) with supporting site plan set, landscape design and mitigation
planting plan, architectural drawings, project narrative, existing conditions photographs, and
administrative documents proposing an in-ground pool, garage, and landscaping amenities at 70 Ocean

sewage disposal system will also be replaced, but the primary system components are outside of
Riverfront Area and the Coastal Bank buffer zone.
MME submits this NOI pursuant to the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (“MWPA”)(M.G.L. Ch. 131
§40), the Massachusetts Rivers Protection Act (Chap. 258 of the Acts of 1996), and the Town of Barnstable
Wetlands Protection Bylaw (Ch. 237), and in accordance with the implementing MWPA Regulations (310
CMR 10.00) and the town’s Regulation Governing Minimum Submission Requirements for a Notice of
Intent Application.
MME attests that it will notify property abutters of this application and of the May 23, 2023, public
hearing in accordance with state and local requirements. The town portion of the $275 filing fee and the
$200 local wetland bylaw fee are enclosed, and the legal advertisement fee (amount TBD) will be paid on
or by the date of the hearing. Directions to the Site are provided on the reverse of this letter and property
access by Commission members is authorized. Please do not hesitate to contact MME by email at
Mike.Ball@MarshMattersEnvironmental.com, or by phone at 978.434.1228 (mobile/office), or should you

1.0 Existing Conditions
GEOGRAPHICAL SETTING: The applicant’s property (Assessor’s reference Map 288, Parcels 182-004
and 182-005)(the “Site”) is a 1.74-acre residential lot on Ocean Avenue in Hyannisport adjacent to the
southernmost portion of the Stewart’s Creek estuary (Figure 2). The applicant purchased the property
in 2022.
EXISTING HOUSE: The original house on the property was constructed in 1916. The existing house,
rebuilt in 1984, is a two-story, nine-room house of approximately 4,288 sf (living area according to the
property record card). The applicant purchased the property last year. Exterior features/structures
include a storage shed, patio, concrete pad seating area, brick walkway, gazebo, and outdoor
fireplace/kitchen.
WETLAND RESOURCE AREAS: Associated with Stewart’s Creek, the lower/southern portions of which
are tidally influenced, are Resource Areas including Riverfront Area (310 CMR 10.58), Bordering
Vegetated Wetland (BVW)(310 CMR 10.55), Salt Marsh (310 CMR 10.32), Coastal Bank (310 CMR
10.30)(both locally and DEP Policy-determined), and Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (310 CMR
10.04). These Resource Areas extend onto, or have jurisdictional buffer zones that extend onto, the
Site.
The landward limit of Riverfront Area extends for two-hundred horizontal feet and reaches into the
footprint of the existing house. Approximately 32,131 sf of property area (approximately 42%) is
located within Riverfront Area, most of which is outer riparian zone (100-200 ft from mean high-water
portion). Nearly the entire inner riparian zone (0-100 ft from mean high water) is naturally vegetated
wetland and upland area.
The one-hundred-foot wide Coastal Bank buffer zone extends furthest into the Site and this buffer
zone and the Riverfront Area boundary together define the landward limit of Conservation Commission
jurisdiction.
DEGREE OF LAND DISTURBANCE: Most of the property is altered from long-existing, residence
development-associated activities (i.e., home construction, landscaping). Nearly the entire inner
portion of the Riverfront Area (zero to one-hundred feet from the river’s mean high-water mark) is
naturally vegetated wetland and upland area. The entire inner portion of the BVW buffer zone (zero to
fifty feet from the wetland boundary) naturally vegetated upland area.
FLOODZONE(S): The nearest Zone AE floodzones (El. 11 and El. 13)(Land Subject to Coastal Storm
Flowage – 310 CMR 10.04) is located to the north and east of the house (FIRM No.
25001C0568J)(Figure 6).
LAND ELEVATIONS: Maximum land elevation change on the property is approximately 14 feet
extending from elevation 10 feet in the northwest corner of the property to 24 feet (NAVD88) in
central property areas where the house is.
RARE SPECIES HABITAT: The NHESP maps no Priority Habitat of Rare Species or Estimated Habitats of
Rare Wildlife on or near the property.

Wetland Resource Area(s) Determination Methods
In advance of MME’s on-site observations, MME performed a desk-top review of available mapping
resources and any documents that may have been provided by the applicant and project land surveyor as
background material. MME reviewed all or some of the following data sources. Certain maps were used
to produce a set of site locus figures, which are part of the NOI attachments.
• Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps.
• United States Geological Survey Topographic Quadrangle.
• MassGIS MassDEP Wetland and Hydrography data layers.
• MassGIS Natural Heritage Atlas data layers.
• Google Earth Aerial photography.
• United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS)
Web Soil Survey; and,
• Mapping data layers provided by the subject municipality’s website (if available).
MME performs WRA identification and delineations in substantial accordance with the following
publications: the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the implementing MWPA regulations (310
CMR 10.00 et seq.); Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344); the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (MassDEP) publication Massachusetts Handbook for Delineation of Bordering
Vegetated Wetlands (2022); and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual
(1987).
When performing WRA identification and delineations, MME uses a methodology involving consideration
of (1) plant community compositions and transitions between plant communities, (2) observed
topographic changes in the landscape, (3) indicators of wetland hydrology, including evidence of extent of
standing or flowing water in nearby waterbody or waterway, (4) the presence/absence of certain sub-
surface soil morphological indicators (i.e., redoximorphic features) that confirm the presence, or absence,
and approximate elevation of groundwater in the soil profile (relative to the ground surface) during a
portion of the growing season, and (5) any evident land alterations. MME marks WRA boundaries with
numbered tape flagging, or stakes, and typically collects a set of photographs that document on-site
conditions on the day(s) of fieldwork. Entrance onto abutting property is usually incidental and often
necessary in order to complete fieldwork and MME assumes that this entry, as well as establishment of
wetland boundary flagging, has either been pre-approved, or is otherwise acceptable by the subject
property owner and/or property abutters.
For wetland indicator status ratings for vascular plants, MME refers to the National Wetland Plant List for
the Northcentral and Northeast Regions administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (2017 updated
version). For hydric / non-hydric soil profile determinations, MME consults Field Indicators for Identifying
Hydric Soils in New England (Version 4, 2017). When noting the presence of invasive and potentially
invasive plant species, MME uses plant status designations provided by the Massachusetts Invasive Plant
Advisory Group (MIPAG).
MARSH MATTERS ENVIRONMENTAL
Notice of Intent PROJECT NARRATIVE
May 2023
MME typically completes at least one set of Bordering Vegetated Wetland Determination Forms when a
Bordering Vegetated Wetland is delineated and/or if MME believes that this type of detailed
documentation is necessary. One or more sets of these data forms may accompany this narrative / NOI
and the information on the forms should be considered representative of plant community and soil profile
conditions along the length of wetland boundary. Preparation of the attached site locus figures was part of
MME’s desk-top review of the Site prior to observing site conditions.
For determining the landward extent of Riverfront Area, in accordance with 310 CMR 10.58(2)(a)(2), if the
project engineer is not identifying the mean high water (MHW) or the mean annual high-water (MAHW)
mark/elevation, the MME identifies MHW/MAHW by identifying visible markings or changes in the
character of soils or vegetation due to the prolonged presence of water. These markings distinguish
between predominantly aquatic and predominantly terrestrial land. For tidal rivers, in the absence of
reliable tidal flood elevation information, MME typically determines the approximate MHW mark using
topographic clues and, in certain instances, the observed landward extent of Spartina alterniflora growth.
2.0 Proposed Project
As illustrated by the proposed project site plan set, the proposed project includes construction of an in-
ground pool, patio, garage, and reconfigured pea stone parking area with addition of landscaping amenities.
The on-site sewage disposal system will also be replaced, but the septic tank and soil absorption system are
both proposed outside of Conservation Commission jurisdiction. Please refer to Mitigation Calculations
sheets 1 and 2 of the plan set (NOI Attachment 1), which provides project area quantities for both Coastal
Bank buffer zone and Riverfront Area.
Pool and Patio
The proposed pool dimensions are 18 ft by 40 ft with a hardscape patio between the pool and house with
dimensions 12 ft by 40 ft. A spa with dimensions 8 ft by 10 ft is part of the pool footprint. The pool and patio
footprint total area is 1,228 sf. The project area is an existing lawn area abutting the east end of the house. A
fenced-in outdoor cooking area consisting of a stone fireplace/oven located partially within the pool
footprint will be entirely removed (see Photo 1, Attachment 2). Details of the pool design and construction
are provided in NOI Attachment 1. Because an Auto Cover will be installed, no pool security fencing is
necessary. As no buried leaching or infiltration basin is proposed, should the pool require any emergency or
maintenance drainage, all water will be removed by a pump truck. One pitch pine (Pinus rigida), which is
located close to the northeast corner of the pool footprint will be removed (see Photo 4).
Garage and Parking Area
The proposed garage dimensions are 24 ft by 40 ft and the structure will be located in an existing, level lawn
area west of the house (see Photo 2). The three-bay garage will contain a small apartment on its second
floor. Please refer to the design drawing prepared by SDP Architects provided in NOI Attachment 2.
The existing gravel driveway will be enlarged and will be resurfaced with pea stone. The enlargement will
displace 266 sf of existing lawn area in the outer portion of the Coastal Bank buffer zone. Any existing lawn
areas disturbed during project activities will be repaired. No new lawn area is proposed.

Landscaping
Please refer to the landscaping plan in NOI Attachment 1 which provides an illustration of foundation and
walkway-adjacent plantings.
Structure / Feature Removals
Several structures and landscape features will be removed as part of the project. These include the gazebo,
the outdoor cooking/fireplace area and fence, the paved area in the front yard, the storage shed, and the
brick walkway behind the house. The area quantity of each of these features has been worked into the
mitigation calculations.
Impact Mitigation
The project landscape plan also provides the proposed mitigation planting plan to compensate for the
project’s net increase in structure and hardscape in the outer portions of the BVW and Coastal Bank buffer
zones. EWI calculated the total amount of mitigation area to be provided to be 5,322 sf in order to comply
with Barnstable’s Chapter 704 requirements (§704-3 Performance Standards for Projects Requiring a Notice
of Intent). In addition to native trees and shrubs, the mitigation area design incorporates “pollinator
pockets.” The mitigation area, which will displace existing lawn, is located entirely within the Coastal Bank
buffer zone and the Riverfront Area.
Septic System Replacement
The on-site sewage disposal system will be replaced with a new Title V-compliant system. The new septic
tank and the soil absorption system will be located in the front yard of the house and outside of
Conservation Commission jurisdiction. The system will serve the new living space above the garage. The
existing cesspool will be pumped, filled, and abandoned in place. No variance from Title V or local
regulations is proposed and, therefore, the septic system design will not be subject to a formal Board of
Health review. Please refer to EWI’s design sheet 3 for system details.
Erosion Control / Work Limit
An erosion control barrier (“ECB”) consisting of continuous, staked siltation fence and/or staked straw
wattles will define the limit of work. The ECB will be installed prior to use of excavation equipment. All
excavated soil material will be removed from the site for disposal, or off-site reuse. Any temporary storage
of soil materials during construction will be in a location inside the ECB. Additional conditions specific to
enhanced erosion control and resource area protection that the BCC may include in the permit are
anticipated and can be incorporated upon MME and contractor review.
3.0 Regulatory Compliance
The intent of this project narrative is to describe existing conditions, explain proposed project
elements, and demonstrate that the proposed project will substantially meet the applicable
performance standards for wetland resource areas present nearest the proposed limits of work and,
therefore, serve or contribute to the interests of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L.
c.131 §40), the Massachusetts Rivers Protection Act (Chapter 258 of the Acts of 1996), and the
Barnstable Wetlands Protection Bylaw (Chapter 237). The interests to be served include protection of
public and private water supply, protection of groundwater supply, flood control, storm damage
MARSH MATTERS ENVIRONMENTAL
Notice of Intent PROJECT NARRATIVE
May 2023
prevention, prevention of pollution, protection of land containing shellfish, protection of fisheries, and
protection of wildlife habitat. The local bylaw describes wetland-associated “values and functions” to
be protected to include public or private water supply, groundwater, storm damage prevention, flood
control, erosion and sedimentation control, prevention of water pollution, wildlife habitat, shellfish,
fisheries, recreation, aesthetics, agricultural and aquacultural values, and historical values.
With respect to the protection of these interests and values, it is important to note that all project
activities will occur on lawn or otherwise previously long-existing altered area on the property. The
project will actually remove lawn area and convert that area to native plant-vegetated impact
mitigation area containing trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation. The only resource area in which
work will occur is Riverfront Area, specifically the outer one-hundred feet of Riverfront Area. The inner
one-hundred-foot zone of the Riverfront Area will maintain full vegetative coverage. With the removal
of several existing features in the landscape, there will only be a net increase of 862 sf of impervious
surface in the outer portion of the Riverfront Area. However, with the addition of a 5,322-sf mitigation
area within the Riverfront Area, there will be a net increase in native vegetation coverage in the
Riverfront Area. MME believes that this will provide an overall improvement to Riverfront Area
conditions.
With respect to project location alternatives, MME believes that there is no practicable and
substantially equivalent economic alternative to the project, as proposed, that will have less adverse
effect on the MWPA interests and meet the applicant’s goals. The project footprint has been kept
within existing previously altered areas (lawn) and is a relatively small area of total riverfront area on
the property.
As this project is single-family home-associated and the Site is a lot that was recorded on or before
August 1, 1996, the area under consideration for practicable alternatives is limited to this property.
Due to the configuration of the property, the location of the existing structure, and proximity to the
naturally vegetated Coastal Bank and bank buffer zone, the level area on the east side of the house is
the only suitable location for a pool and small adjacent patio area. For the pool to be located entirely
outside of Riverfront Area, the location would need to be in the front yard or in the location of the
existing driveway. Both options are neither practical nor preferred.
Coastal Bank is located to the north and east of the house and this landform is a fully vegetated and
stable resource area. This Coastal Bank is not a dune or beach sediment source. No work is proposed
on the Coastal Bank, but work is proposed in the Coastal Bank buffer zone. No aspect of the project in
the buffer zone will result in conditions that will prevent or reduce the ability of the Coastal Bank to
perform its important storm damage prevention and flood control functions. In order to comply with
Barnstable’s Chapter 704 mitigation requirements, a 5,322-sf mitigation area is provided. Please see
Mitigation Calculations Sheet No. 1 providing a breakdown of existing and proposed project areas.
MME believes that this project is eligible for an Order of Conditions approving the project, as the applicable
resource area performance standards are met and the proposed work within the Riverfront Area and the
Coastal Bank buffer zone will contribute to the protection of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, the
Rivers Protection Act, and the Chapter 237 interests and values.
