Summary

James Bammel’s proposal to replace a seasonal cottage with a ~3,000 sq ft year‑round residence moved farther from the lake was reviewed; board noted erosion controls and that the new footprint would be larger but comply with applicable codes.

James Bammel presented a site-plan referral to demolish a seasonal cottage and build a year-round home with an approximate 3,000-square-foot footprint (existing cottage ~1,400 sq ft). The proposed residence would be moved from about 17 feet from the waterfront to approximately 35 feet and would include erosion and runoff controls such as riprap.

Board members said the proposal is consistent with surrounding homes and required erosion controls; David Adam moved and Edward Gilman seconded a motion that the county determination be no significant countywide impact under GML 239, which the board approved.
