Commission issues determinations on multiple projects including Shore Road rebuild, septic upgrades and a porch; approves certificate of compliance

Several short agenda items were handled in succession with limited debate.

• 28 Shore Road (RDA): Katarina of Strongtree Engineering said the proposed rebuild would remain essentially in the same footprint; the house sits in FEMA zone AE with a base flood elevation of 10. Commissioners asked questions about septic capacity and design to flood standards. The commission closed the hearing, signed documents and issued a determination allowing the applicant to proceed to Board of Health review.

• 37 South Village Road (septic upgrade): Dan Ojel (Down Cape Engineering) described adding a larger tank, pressure dosing and achieving a five‑foot vertical separation. Commissioners expressed no objections and the commission closed the hearing and issued determinations enabling Board of Health review.

• 24 Honeysuckle Lane (tight tank): Cape Cod Engineering presented a tight tank design as a Title 5‑style solution for a small lot within the 200‑foot riverfront area. The owner acknowledged the pumping/monitoring obligations; commissioners closed the hearing and issued determinations so the owner may pursue Board of Health review and necessary variances.

• 81 C Street (NOI): Paul O'Shea described adding a covered porch (about 390 sq ft) in upland lawn area; staff recommended approval and the commission closed the notice of intent and asked staff to draft an order of conditions.

Separately, the commission considered a certificate of compliance for a long‑standing revetment project. Agent Eric and consulting engineers noted monitoring reports required by the original order were not received; the commission discussed whether ongoing nourishment conditions remain enforceable and nevertheless voted to issue the certificate of compliance for the referenced file while flagging the monitoring gap for future attention.
