ADVERSE IMPACTS ON FUTURE WATER-DEPENDENT DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES: 
Appears 
Acceptable 
Potentially 
Unacceptable 
Not 
Applicable 
Replaces an existing water-dependent use with a non-water-dependent use 
 
✔ 
Reduces existing public access 
 
✔ 
Locates a non-water-dependent use at a site that is physically suited for a 
water-dependent use for which there is a reasonable demand 
 
✔ 
Locates a non-water-dependent use at a site that has been identified for a 
water-dependent use in the plan of development or zoning regulations 
 
✔ 
 
 
ISSUES OF CONCERN (SEE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS BOX FOR ADDITIONAL DETAIL): 
Insufficient information 
Potential increased risk to life and property in coastal hazard area 
Adverse impacts on future water-dependent development opportunities 
 
Proximity of disturbance to sensitive resources/need for additional vegetated setback 
✔ 
Potential to cause erosion/sedimentation; need for adequate sedimentation and erosion control 
measures 
✔ 
Water quality and/or stormwater impact

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: 
The construction and use of a single family residential structure within the VR-7.5 Zone 
District is consistent with the Town Zoning Regulations and 2012 Plan of Conservation and 
Development. The placement of the structure as far from the coastal resource as practical and 
still within the zoning setbacks as established by approval of the Zoning Board of Appeals 
through application ZBA2006-031 issued on January 4, 2007 which remain in full force and 
effect, reduces the effect of proposed grading onto the coastal resources. 
 
The coastal hazard FEMA designated Flood Zone AE-10 is identified on the site with 
the remainder of the site located in the 500-year Shaded X-Zone. The 500-year Shaded X-Zone 
is not considered a Special Flood Hazard Area. All work and associated site improvements in 
support of the single family dwelling to occur outside of the FEMA designated Flood Hazard 
Area AE-10.
