Revised Plans
Cecil Newcomb and Ann Sigsbee 35 Keziah's Ln.
By Ryder &Wilcox, Inc. Assessor's Map 49, Parcel 45. The proposed renovation to an
existing dwelling, installation of a new septic system, terrace, and stone wall. Work will
occur within 100' of the Edge of a Bog, Salt Marsh, Coastal Bank, Land Subject to
Coastal Storm Flowage, and in the Pleasant Bay ACEC. The proposed revision includes
the addition of two rain gardens. Dave Lytt le from Ryder &Wilcox, Inc. was present to
represent the client.
David stated the goal of the two proposed rain gardens is to eliminate issues with
storm water runoff due to the steep gravel driveway on the property. The gardens will
serve to redirect runoff away from the garage area as well as Lonnie's Pond, and
intercept runoff containing pollutants that may find its way down the bank to the pond.
Motion: A motion to accept the revised plan showing the addition of two rain gardens
was made by Judith Bruce and seconded by Walter North.

existing dwelling, removal of the septic system, and installation of a swimming pool.
Work will occur within 100' of the Top of a Coastal Bank and within the Pleasant Bay
ACEC. The proposed revision includes the expansion of hardscape within the 75-100'
buffer. David Lyttle from Ryder and Wilcox, Inc. was present to represent the client
David stated the design has not changed a great deal except for the addition of
retaining walls around the pool area. He also provided revised coverage calculations
and additional section views of the property. David stated since this revision was
submitted last week, the applicants decided they would like to install new underground
electric and cable utilities. The overhead lines will be removed and the utility poles are
to be flush cut. David stated he would like to submit into the record the Agreement from
the Orleans Conservation Trust stating acknowledgment and approval since one of the
poles is located in the right of way leading to an OCT property. Judith Bruce asked if it is
less disruptive to the wetland to flush cut the poles. David stated it was the suggestion
from the contractor and John Jannell agreed it would cause the least disturbance to the
area.
Motion: A motion to accept the revised plan showing the additional retaining walls and
hardscape; and the construction protocol for installation of underground utility lines, was
made by Judith Bruce and seconded by Walter North.

Orleans Department of Public Works Sparrowhawk Landing
The proposed installation of a 12' x 18' asphalt patch over the existing road bed.
Tom Daley from Orleans DPW stated the asphalt landing is in need of repair. The
plan is to stabilize the landing at this time by replacing the broken asphalt and restoring
the area to what existed in previous years. Tom stated the landing is constrained by
private property ownership on both sides and that damage to the asphalt is the result of
vehicles trying to turn around in the small area allotted. Tom reported this is a temporary
repair in response to complaints from the public, but would be open to revisiting this
project with long term changes. Dick Colville, a neighbor, stated his thoughts on
possible materials used to replace the asphalt and his concern for the deterioration of
the landing. Rich Nadler stated his concern for using gravel on the landing as it would
eventually end up in the salt marsh. Judith Bruce suggested landscape timbers to be
used as containment so vehicles do not drive over the asphalt into the marsh. Tom
stated at this time he is proposing a temporary solution but will entertain a more
permanent method for the future. He mentioned he could have a consulting firm come
look at possibilities for the future of the landing this week.
Motion: A motion to approve the Administrative Review with the Condition that the
DPW will present to the Commission at a later date, a long term solution to
fixing/restoring Sparrowhawk Landing, was made by Ginny Farber and seconded by
Judith Bruce.
