The
applicant
is
proposing
a
36
by
40
foot
dwelling
with
a
rear
deck
and
a
accessory
structure.
The
driveway
is
proposed
to
be
pervious
pavers
and
all
the
all
the
stormwater
runoff
will
be
collected
in
this
proposed
rain
garden.
Here,
just
to
the
north
of
the
house,
the
site
is
flat,
it
is
weird
it's
just.
Its
current
condition
is
just
grass.
A
A
A
A
B
D
I
really
don't
have
any
questions
I
mean
I.
It
says
that
it's
on
the
mystic
river,
but
it's
really
on
a
little
tidal
inlet
away
from
the
mystic
river
backing
on
to
the
railroad
tracks.
I
think
that
the
back
of
the
house,
the
back
of
the
property,
is
what
maybe
60
feet
from
the
actual
railroad
tracks
not
shown
on
this
drawing
so
more
power
too.
If
he
wants
to
put
anything
there,
be
good
for
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
block
a
little
bit
of
noise,
but
I
can't
see
any
disturbance.
D
B
D
B
B
B
E
The
reason
why
I'm
asking
I
saw
an
interesting,
I
think
it
was
at
this
old
house,
and
they
were
talking
about
putting
propane
tanks
in
flood
flood
areas,
and
they
had
a
neat
little
demonstration
that
showed
you
know
a
tank
that
was
partially
empty
in
the
course
of
a
flood
and
what
it
does.
It
acts
like
a
cork
and
unless
it's
strapped
down
it
literally
bops
to
the
surface
is,
has
that
been
considered
in
this.
A
Not
that
I'm
aware
I
haven't
seen
that
design,
usually
when
I
see
underground
propane
tanks
and
flood
zones
they're
anchored
with
cement,
so
they
basically
you
know,
take
it
pretty
far
down,
there's
cement
all
around
it
and
they
anchor
it.
So,
in
the
event
where
it
did
flood,
it
still
anchored
underground
and
won't
move.
I
didn't
know
anything
about
a
so.
C
E
C
Yes,
yes,
and
the
other
thing
is
on
both
of
the
structures.
They'll,
probably
they
have
to
meet
all
of
the
requirements
of
section
7.2
and
they
might
have
to,
and
I'm
not
sure
this
will
be
something
the
building
official
will
review
as
whether
they
need
some
some
openings
to
allow
floodwaters
to
go
in
and
out
so
the
design.
Might
you
know
that
the
design
might
have
to
deal
with
those?
C
A
B
C
B
C

A
D
B
B
B
B
B
D
But
she
had
a
quite
a
good
point
right
and
I,
the
more
I
look
into
it.
The
more
annoying
it
is
is
that
I
don't
know
for
those
of
you
who
haven't
read
it
on
the
groton
side.
As
you
approach
the
condominiums
there's
a
gateway
beyond
that
gate
is
open
access,
apparently
that's
the
way
it
was
passed.
I
don't
know
the
history
of
it.
I
know
dick
fitzgerald
apparently
was
part
of
what
past
that
and
that
access
would
just
be
unrestricted
and
instead
they
have
a
little
gateway
there.
D
That
has
something
on
the
design
that
says
that
had
something
that
just
said,
access
continues
beyond
the
gate,
which
is
a
bizarre
sign.
Instead
of
being
the
normal
progression
of
coastal
access
signs
that
should
be
up
and
down
where
we
have
coastal
access.
It
had
this
little
sign
that
apparently
disappeared,
and
now
the
town
manager
is
saying
that
he's
not
going
to
replace
it
unless
the
owners
of
the
property
say
it's
okay,.
D
Not
acceptable,
that's
not
acceptable.
If
it's
I'm,
I'm
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
what
deal
with
the
devil
was
made
to
have
a
gate
there
at
all,
I'm
okay
with
having
a
little
appendage
to
encourage
people
to
be
quiet,
but
frankly,
as
as
actually
david
collins
proposed,
there
should
be
benches
out
there.
It's
coastal
access,
it
should
be
the
same.
D
Look
the
same
as
anywhere
else,
including
something
to
keep
in
mind
is
that
we
somewhere
in
there
it
kind
of
slipped,
is
that
when
you
walk
down
to
the
end
of
those
there's
a
little
grouping
of
condominiums
that
blocks
off
a
continuous
route
of
coastal
access,
it
kind
of
blocks
off
your
way
to
get
to
the
the
art
museum's
property,
which
has
a
path
along
the
coast.
You
know
forced
back
onto
the
parking
lot.
D
I
don't
know
how
that
happened,
but
we're
stuck
with
it
now,
but
certainly
when
we
any
rearrangement
of
that
parking
lot
must
make
it
really
clear
that
this
is
the
route
to
get
to
coastal
access,
but
having
not
having
a
sign
there.
That's
just
the
standard
coastal
access
sign,
front
and
rear
every
which
way.
That's
the
only
thing
that
to
me
is
acceptable.
People
should
be
encouraged
to
walk
down
there
and
that's
that
piece
of
fence
should
never
be
replaced.
If
it
ever
needs
to
be
repaired,
it
should
be
removed.
C
E
B
C
B
C
B
C
D
D
D
Yeah-
and
there
was
for
those
of
us
in
the
around
the
on
next
door-
I
don't
know
how
many
of
you
are
connected
next
door,
the
website,
it's
a
little
local
social
service,
social
media
thing,
and
there
was
a
point
in
there
that
I
don't
know
what
you
want
to
call.
It
advertisement
a
notice
put
in
there
about
the
property
that
I
believe
is
across
the
street
from
daniel
packard
inn
on
the
waterfront.
D
D
D
Oh,
it
can't
be
100
feet
wide,
maybe
60
feet
wide
80
feet
wide
at
the
best
two
little
buildings
on
it,
but
it
should
also
have
coastal
access
while
we're
in
it,
but
it's
certainly
not
gonna
be
continuous
down
to
there.
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
seen
anything
on
that
I
was
getting
ready
to
type
something
up,
but
I
just
seems
like
we
should
have
known.
I
guess
not.
