Homeowners told steep 'kettle hole' slopes likely preclude building
Summary
Bill and Christine Papperella asked whether a kettle hole on their two-lot property could be developed; the commission advised against building there because slopes exceed 25%, and no formal application has been submitted.
Homeowners Bill and Christine Papperella asked the Joint Coastal Management Commission at its Sept. 5 meeting whether a kettle hole on their two-lot property in St. James could be developed.
According to the minutes, the homeowners "were told that because the slopes were greater than 25% in the kettle hole area, it is not advised to build in that area." The minutes note their property currently includes two houses and the kettle hole; the homeowners said they were considering combining the lots and building a replacement house plus a new house in the kettle hole, but the commission advised against developing the steep-sloped portion. No formal application related to the kettle hole was filed with the commission as of the meeting.
