HomeMy WebLinkAbout20240514-NOI-Caseau-589 Whistleberry Dr.-Narrative PROJECT NARRATIVE 589 WHISTLEBERRY DRIVE MARSTONS MILLS, MA The proposed scope of work for this project is to construct a 3 bedroom single family dwelling partially with the 100 ft. buffer zone of a bordering vegetated wetland (BVW). The subject property is a 44,425 sq. ft. lot, of which 33,596 sq. ft is upland. The front southerly portion of the lot (approx. 12,200 sq. ft.) is outside of the 100 ft. buffer zone to the BVW. The property has a bordering vegetated wetland area of 10,829 sq. ft. to the north, which was delineated by Brad Hall and Darren Meyer, 5 flags were used to show the boundary of the wetland. The property is not within a flood zone. There is a small foot path to the eastern part of the lot (shown on site plan). The project will start with access from Whistleberry Drive, over the upland portion of the lot that is outside of the 100 ft. buffer zone. This will also be the area for staging of equipment and materials. A work limit line (shown on the site plan) of straw waddle/silt fence will be installed, staked every five feet, to help mitigate any potential impact from run off or movement of materials during construction but placed to also allow movement around the dwelling from construction. Construction will be begin with removal of trees and underbrush, approx. 5-12” pine and 3-16” oak trees in the foot print area of the proposed dwelling. Excavation of soils will be conducted by an excavator to remove soil to accommodate a full cellar concrete foundation. Soils will be staged around the footprint of the proposed dwelling, but will not impact the work limit line. Once excavation is complete, a concrete company will construct the footings, slabs and walls necessary to accommodate the proposed dwelling. Concrete trucks will enter the property from Whistleberry Drive, access the excavated cellar hole from the south side of the property and will use a pump to move concrete to the forms for the walls. Once cured, forms will be stripped and removed from the site. Concrete slabs and floors will them be poured, using the same methods to move the concrete as the walls. A retaining wall will be poured on the rear side of the property, to help for grading purposes. Once walls and floors are poured, construction on the dwelling will commence, using 2x6 construction, a 3 bedroom dwelling will be built, as shown on the site plan. The westerly side of the dwelling is proposed to be a 2 car garage with space above, the easterly side of the dwelling will be 2 levels, built into the sloping grade, allowing for a walkout level. Materials and any waste will be stored on the south side of the property outside of the wetland buffer. Utilities such as electric, water and subsurface sewage disposal, for the property will all be outside the 100 ft buffer to the BVW. A stone/shell driveway will be installed as shown for access to the dwelling. All roof run off will be contained in subsurface drywells, show on site plans. Once all utilities and site work is completed, the grade around the dwelling will be restored, a minor lawn area will be installed on the lower south easterly side of the dwelling (outside of the buffer zone). Within the buffer zone, grading will be restored to almost original grades, with minor modifications to accommodate the retaining wall in the rear, native materials will be used for cover. All equipment used will be staged on the property, on the land outside of the 100 ft. buffer zone. All refueling will be conducted off site.
