Purpose, Character aad Extent of proposed activity upon or adjacent to wet]and:
Town Law Section 94-5(a) prevents any person from conducting a regulated activity,
which includes building, clear cutting and construction, on any freshwater wetland, or within 100
feet of the wetlands. As mentioned and shown on the attached snap, there is virtually no portion of
the Property that is not within 100 feet of freshwater wetland(here inafltr knov,,n as the"Adjactnt
Area")'. Therefore, if the applicants wish to build on the Property, a Freshwater Wetland Pertrl[t
is required.
The applicants have made every effort to avoid the wetlands to the greatest extent posy ib]e
with their proposed building and clearing and have developed a plot plan that does not propose
any disturbance of the wetlands themselves; impacting only the Adjacent Area. Additionally, it
should be noted that the applicants have avoided any clearing within 35 feet of tit freshwater
wetlands boundary, as is required by Section 179- -050(B)(1)(a) of the Town odf. Ho cvtr, in
order to situate a house on the Property, the applicants will have to clear trees to create room for
the single family home, backyard and a driveway on the Property. In ardor to complete the project
as shown on the attach ed snap, 2.5,419 square feet of land within the Adjacent Areas w i I I have to
be cleared from its czrrrent wooded state. FoIlow ing the clearing, the applicant wi11 have to dig in
tht Adjacent Area to create the faun dation for the single family home, build the home and plant
the crush(-,d stone far the driveway.
1 Section 94 or the Town code requires a permit for any activity proposed to occur on [he%Ve0,mds,or in the
"adjacent area%which i s defined as any area wain 100 Fcet of the freshwater wetlands.
