Summary of Applicant Testimony
Jason R. Norton, Coastal Engineering, Co., Inc., Project Manager, Marine Division, Glenn Wood,
Esq., Rubin and Rudman, and Lee Weischar, Ph D, Senior Scientist, Woods Hole Group,
represented the private property owner/applicants. Thomas Edmondson attended also.
Commissioner Wightman was not a Commission member on August 21, 2012, the date of the
original hearing. However, in accordance with Chapter 79 of the Acts of 2006...*, he signed a
"Certification of Review of Hearing Transcript", as he examined all evidence received at the
Public Hearing of August 21, the only previous testimonial hearing, visited the site, reviewed the
minutes and watched the videotape of the meeting. Though all who meet the (aforementioned)
requirements may do so by law, he asked the applicant's permission to vote on the project. Mr.
Wood responded it was his interpretation of the law that all who meet those requirements may
vote at adjudicatory hearings. Mr. Wood agreed to allow this participation.
Jason Norton
In consideration of the eight month time lapse from the original hearing to the present, Mr. Norton
briefly re-presented the initial proposal, as contained in the Notice of Intent*. He described it as a
rock revetment re-construction on a coastal dune and coastal beach for protection of the
residential properties, as well as that of the co-applicant, the Town of Brewster, for easterly
abutting Ellis Town Landing, which has long been experiencing environmental problems. The
extension onto the town property is designed to allow the public access to the beach and will not
impede any drainage design the town would propose. He explained the existing revetment is not
an "engineered" structure, and adversely affects wetland interests by preventing sand from
entering the littoral system. He maintained the applicant is not proposing to increase the existing
Brewster Conservation Commission Minutes. April 16, 2013 3
revetment seaward or in elevation, but to increase to the volume of stone landward below-grade
and to meet professional engineering standards.
Displaying the revised site plan*for review at this time, Mr. Norton then compared the plan
changes to the revetment design reviewed on August 21, 2012. The revised plan contained a
considerably larger expansion ("return") of the revetment structure on the town owned property, 0
Ellis Landing.
Glenn Wood
Mr. Wood explained the storm on or about February 8, 2013, intensified the owners' desire to
protect their properties. He stated the revision is designed most importantly to protect the eastern
flank of his client's property on 51 Captain Dunbar Road which abuts the Ellis Town Landing, but
will protect the Town's Landing as well.
During the course of the hearing, Mr. Wood repeated statements he made on August 21, 2012,
including that he believed this entire proposed project has the full, prior support of the Brewster
Board of Selectmen.
Lee Weischar
Drawing from an April 9, 2013 environmental report*for the project and displaying accompanying
photos*, Mr. Weischar addressed comments from the Commission during the original hearing, as
follows:
1. The Commission believes the internal structure of the proposed revetment will
alter the coastal dune, per 310 CMR 10.28, and requested information on the
amount of sand that this project would inhibit. Directing the Commission's attention
to the photos*of the existing revetment and its components, Mr. Weischar explained
that the composition of the existing structure is preventing sand release into the littoral
system, excepting the sand the property owners are mandated in 2005 wetland permits
to provide each year. The proposed structure would inhibit only 22 more cubic yards of
sand from release into the littoral system, without the proposed annual sand application.
2. The Commission believes the existing revetment has functioned as designed and
adequately protects the properties. Describing the existing site conditions, Mr.
Weischar asserted the existing revetment prevents the coastal dune on the properties to
function at all. He added the residents are concerned it will fail ultimately, and is
beginning to fail in places, due to the lack of the foundational toe stones the proposed
revetment would provide. Additionally, the resource area on his clients'properties
receives little littoral drift sand in the system due to the revetments and groin to the west
("up-drift"), and because owners of those revetments were not required to add sand to
the system when the Conservation Commission permitted their structures years ago.
Thus, the location of his clients'properties is "the beginning of the littoral cell", with a
completely altered landform.
3. The Commission believes the sand nourishment necessary to the project would
not be conducted into the future for the life of the structure. Mr. Weischar explained
the applicants are proposing and committed to adding sand, doubling the amount
required by the present permit. The Conservation Commission can mandate that this be
done in the future by means of ongoing special conditions.
4. The Commission believes the applicants should examine alternatives to this
project, including raising the dwellings on pilings or moving them landward. Mr.
Weischar maintained these are not viable alternatives. Moving the existing structures
landward is not feasible, due to the small size of the parcels. Pilings will not protect the
actual property or the septic systems when the revetment fails, and will cause more
impact to the resource areas than the project at hand. The existing failing revetment will
Brewster Conservation Commission Minutes. April 16, 2013 4
undermine and erode pilings and the dwellings will have no support; the direct cause of
which would not be inundation by floodwaters, but the failed revetment.
Therefore, the proposed revetment re-construction meets the performance standards for such
work under the WPA and BWP By-law.
The consultants requested the Conservation Commission approve the project as presented.
Thomas Edmondson
Mr. Edmondson thanked the Conservation Commission for immediately allowing needed repairs
to the foundation to his home on 51 Captain Dunbar Road, resulting from the February, 2013
storm, through the wetland emergency permitting process*.
He also stated for the record that several citizens have expressed support for the present project,
including Brewster shell fisherman Brian Daley and citizen Theodore Ellis, who submitted a letter*
to the Conservation Commission.
He also expressed that contrary to the Conservation Commission's belief, stones were not added
to the existing revetment in 2006. He submitted photos*showing boulders to support this
statement.
Summary of Conservation Commission CommentslStaff and Applicant Response
Mr. McKenna submitted photos*to the Commission, showing boulders in the subject area in
1998, and after wetland permitting of 2005, and Conservation Commission minutes*for those
projects.
Mr. McKenna reviewed the history of the existing revetment, stressing that the past permitting
processes would never have occurred because boulders on a dune are not allowed under the
wetland laws, were it not for the unique and confusing fact of previously existing boulders on the
dune. MA DEP and the Brewster Conservation Commission allowed the 2005 project purely on
the basis of those pre-existing boulders. All involved in the 2005 permitting process fully
understood the allowed redistribution of these boulders was not intended as a permanent
solution; they would require continual maintenance because they would always fail on the
unconsolidated sand dune. He stated that as the Conservation Commission minutes for these
projects reflect, the 2005 project approved by the Commission was a "soft"design only and not
an engineered revetment; therefore the applicant's reference to this past project as a"failure", is
inaccurate.
The applicant has not submitted an alternative to the proposed structure; he disagrees with the
proponent that placing the dwellings on pilings would more adversely affect the dune than this
proposal.
The applicants are not proposing a revetment reconstruction at this time, but a new,free
standing, three-dimensional engineered groin on a coastal dune which would affect the ability of
the dune to perform its natural functions.
The("return") shown on the revised plan, expanding the protection to the property on 51 Captain
Dunbar Road is even greater in scope than originally proposed on August 21, 2012, and the
applicant did not propose an alternative under the BWP By-law to that revision.
Sand nourishment mitigation cannot be adequately conditioned so that it contributes to the
protection of the interests of the WP ACT or BWP By-law.
The applicant has not shown that the work meets performance standards of WP ACT or BWP By-
, law.
Brewster Conservation Commission Minutes. April 16, 2013 5
Furthermore, the boulders moved on the Ellis Town Landing during the emergency repairs to the
dwelling on 51 Captain Dunbar Road following the February, 2013 storm to act as a return to the
existing revetment, were not approved by the Conservation Commission. This constitutes a
violation of wetland laws.
Mr. Wood responded he believed the Town of Brewster hired a local company to move the
boulders.
Natural Resource Director Miller stated for the record that the town is not responsible for the
boulders moved on the Ellis Town Landing.
Mr. Wightman expressed concern that the applicants' consultants state that the resource area is
not functioning as a coastal dune, but have not asked the Commission to issue a finding in writing
that it is not playing a role in storm damage, flood control or wildlife habitat.
Mr. Weischar responded that in his opinion the rock"face"of the existing structure acts as a
vertical buffer, preventing the dune to function by moving landward or laterally, but the sand
applied annually to the structure contributes to the littoral system. As on August 21, 2012, he
referenced the statement of the Conservation Commission's expert consultant for past
permitting*, that due to the existing rip-rap, the coastal dune on the properties has lost some of its
natural beneficial function, interpreting this as stating that the dune does not at all function or
meet the performance standards of a coastal dune.
Concerns of other Commissioners included the lack of submittal of alternatives to the proposal, a
(revised) proposal of a full engineered structure on the town property, the issue of both private
properties and the Town of Brewster as co-applicants for the project, and the fact that the
consultants had never before, proposed a revetment on a coastal dune.
Summary of Public Comments
Mr. James Foley attended the meeting. He introduced himself as a member of the Brewster
Board of Selectmen. He stated that although he cannot provide the information the Commission
seeks, he believed the Board of Selectmen has a legal obligation to preserve the Ellis Town
Landing. He hoped that the Conservation Commission can find a way to approve the project,
with its protection in mind.
Mr. Salvatore DiFede expressed his concern for the coastline, the Ellis Town Landing and the
applicants' properties. He supported and hoped the Conservation Commission approves the
project.
As presented, Ms. Winfield, Mr. Evans, Mr. Klein, Mr. Romano, Mr. Tobin, Mr. Wightman, and Ms.
Brogan requested time to consider all of these issues before reaching a decision on this project.
Hayley Winfield moved, Michael Tobin seconded the motion to close the hearing and to reach a
decision on the project at a public meeting within the time legally required to issue a decision
within 21 days of this hearing. Approved. Jon Romano and Shana Brogan abstained from
voting.

1. Barry Dino Viprino, Property on 2342 Main Street,78/121, (formerly 16/83)—Future
Request for Determination of Applicability filing for agricultural project, and
request for waiver of requirements of scale and wetland detail on plan
Mr. Viprino met with the Commission. He described his agricultural project, portions of
which are within 100 feet of wetlands, as discussed briefly in a letter*to the Commission.
Mr. Viprino stated he wished to submit a small scale plan with his application.
The Conservation Administrator's Administrative Report* suggested the Commission
determine if a Request for Determination would be sufficient for the project or whether it
would require a Notice of Intent wetland filing, and if the discussed plan*, dated in the late
1990's and lacking wetland buffer zone delineations, would be adequate for the filing.
Following discussion, the Commission consensually agreed Mr. Viprino may file a
Request for Determination of Applicability. Any alteration within 50 feet of wetland(s)will
require a professional engineered plan with a scale of 1" = 20', as required in the
Brewster Conservation Commission filing instructions for wetland permitting. If all of the
alteration is outside of 50 feet of wetlands, the Commission will accept the so described
small scale plan.
