With Findings:1. This is a Major impact project per 303.02(c), Projects that involve alteration of nontidal wetlands, nontidal surface waters,and banks adjacent to nontidal surface waters in excess of 20,000 square feet in the aggregate.2. Wetland impacts are proposed for development of the site to locate the proposed 306,000 square foot industrial building,associated site access, and parking area construction. Wetland impacts along Page Road (Wetland #1) are proposed for siteaccess at the safest location without encroaching on any residential abutters and access along State road RT28 is not anoption. Impacts at wetland #2 are for access. Initial proposed impacts were reduced to eliminate impacts for the stormwatertreatment system. Wetlands 3 and 4 are located within the proposed building footprint.3. There are five permanent wetland impact areas and one temporary impact area. The permanent impact areas include#1-11,350 square feet, #2-7,975 square feet, #3-2,275 square feet, #4-800 square feet, #5-6,576 square feet, and area#6-400 square feet of temporary impacts.4. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the departments jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03. Wetland impacts have been decreasedfrom the original proposed 38,175 square feet to 29,375 square feet. The building footprint has been reduced by 23% and theestimated total impervious surface area has been reduced by 20%. Impacts associated with stormwater treatment inwetlands have been removed.5. The applicants agent has provided a Wetland Function and Value Assessment Report dated January 31, 2018 anddetermined the principal wetland functions are flood flow, sediment, nutrients, and wildlife and were not considered unique inthe Town or the State.6. The project wetland scientist has reviewed the six isolated wetland areas and determined there is one vernal pool locatedat Wetland #3 per vernal pooi study report dated January 15, 2019.7. The New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau, Department of Natural and Cultural Resources-Forests and Lands hasconfirmed there are no rare plants onsite per email dated August 23, 2018.8. The NHFG Nongame and Endangered Species Program is satisfied that efforts have been taken to minimize impacts tothe Blanding’s turtle, New England Cottontail, and Smooth Green snake located on the east side of 280 Rockingham Roadand the south side of 14 Page Road in Londonderry per email dated October 24, 2018.9. The New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources, State Preservation Office has confirmed there are No HistoricProperties Affected per review letter issued on March 22, 2018.10. The applicant’s agent has confirmed that the proposed 24-inch RCP culvert has been sized to accommodate the 50-year


frequency flood at the crossing location Crier 1) per the project engineer.11. Wetland Impact Area #3 was confirmed to be a Vernal Pool. The applicant is coordinating with NHFG to transport vernalpool species from the wetland impact #3 vernal pool to a location within the proposed conservation area.12. Compensatory mitigation for permanent wetland impacts consists of a deed restriction as described in the Declaration ofCovenants and Conservation Restrictions and Grant of Access Easement on 21.81 acres as depicted on the plans preparedby S&H Land Services, LLC dated June 19, 2019 and received by NHDES on July 22, 2019.13. Any significant changes to the proposed wetland impacts will require a permit amendment.14. The wetland permit application was received by the Department on April 2, 2018. A Request for More Information wasissued by the Department on May 11, 2018. Six Time Extension Agreements have been issued in order to allow additionaltime for the applicant to provide response to the NHDES Request for More Information.

With Findings:1. This project is classified as a Minor impact Project per NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.03(h), as the project involvesless than 20,000 square feet of alteration in the aggregate in nontidal wetlands, nontidal surface waters, or banks adjacent tonontidal surface waters and exceeds the criteria of Env-Wt 303.04(f).2. The proposed impacts for this project are related solely to the construction of stream/wetland crossings for commercialaccess and are not related to fill for commercial lot development.3. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03, as the project minimizes impacts towetlands by using retaining walls to reduce the amount of fill in the wetlands required for the crossings, utilizes the narrowestbands of wetlands, and the proposed culverts are designed to meet the design criteria for new tier 1 stream crossings perEnv-Wt 900.4. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(b) Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.5. In a review letter dated April 10, 2019, and received by NHDES on April 16, 2019, the NH Division of Historical Resources(DHR) stated that no historic properties are expected to be affected by the proposed project.6. In a review letter dated January 17, 2019, and received by NHDES on March 27, 2019, the NH Natural Heritage Bureau(NHB) stated that there was no record of a sensitive species in the vicinity of the proposed project.7. In a regulatory review dated March 13, 2019, the US Fish and Wildlife Service found that while Northern Long-eared Bats(Myotis septentrionalis), and Small Whorled Pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) were present in the vicinity of the site, there wereno critical habitats for these species at this location.8. In email correspondence dated April 09, 2019, the Chichester Conservation Commission requested a statutory hold on theapplication for review and comment.9. In a letter dated April 29, 2019, and received by NHDES on April 30, 2019, the Chichester Conservation Commissionexpressed concerns regarding the project.10. NHDES finds that the applicant has fully addressed the concerns of the Chichester Conservation Commission in theirRequest for More Information response letter dated May 29, 2019, and received by NHDES on May 30, 2019.11. In an email dated June 13, 2019, the applicant requested an extension agreement until July 29, 2019, to revise the plan toinclude a third stream crossing following communication from the NH Department of Transportation (NHDOT) indicating thatNHDOT would only permit a single cut onto US Route 4 for the two lots involved in this project. The original applicationavoided this additional crossing entirely because it included three cuts onto US Route 4 in order to access the buildableuplands on the property. The extension agreement was signed by the authorized agent and returned to NHDES on June 19,2019.12. In an email dated June 14, 2019, the Chichester Conservation Commission indicated that they had no additionalcomments on the application.13. NHDES finds that the proposed plan revisions do not meet the definition of a significant amendment as defined in RSA482-A:3, XIV., (e), and therefore do not require a new application.14. NHDES finds that the three proposed tier 1 stream crossings proposed in this application meet the design criteria for newtier 1 stream crossings in Env-Wt 900.15. Pursuant to Env-Wt 302.03(c)(2)b., compensatory mitigation is not required as the project impacts less than 10,000 sq. ft.of wetlands.16. A forestry notification (2018-00582) for this property was approved on March 06, 2018. The lot was clear cut by previousowner.17.

With Findings:1. This project is classified as a Minor Project per NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.03(l) as this project will alter thecourse of or disturb less than 200 linear feet of intermittent and perennial nontidal stream channels and their banks, andEnv-Wt 303.03(0) as this project involves the construction of a new tier 1 stream crossing for which approval of an alternativedesign is being sought as specified in Env-Wt 904.02(c).2. The proposed stream crossing is to be installed on an existing, abandoned woods road where the previously installedculvert has been allowed to deteriorate.3. The deterioration of the existing culvert has caused the primary flow of the stream channel to relocate to another locationon the road.4. The existing, failed culvert will be crushed and abandoned in place and the proposed stream crossing will be constructed inthe location of the new primary flow channel.5. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03 as the proposed culvert configuration willmaintain stream flow where it is currently located, will require less fill in wetlands than proposed alternatives, and the culvertswill be embedded 6 inches and lined with native streambed materials to maintain aquatic organism passage.6. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(b) Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.7. In a review letter dated March 22, 2019, the Natural Heritage Bureau fNHB) stated that there was no record of a sensitivespecies located in the vicinity of the project.8. The applicant has requested approval of the Tier 1 stream crossing as an alternative design per criteria specified in NHAdministrative Rule Env-Wt 904.09.9. The proposed stream crossing includes the installation of two 36-inch diameter culverts as opposed to a single 48-inchdiameter culvert. Hydraulic analysis submitted with the application indicates that either of the above alternatives will fully passthe flows of a 50-year storm event as required per Env-Wt 904.02(b)(2). The installation of a 48-inch diameter culvert wouldrequire more fill over the culvert to ensure road safety and would require approximately 16 feet of additional fill in thewetlands that abut the existing road on either side in order to construct the roadway base, thus tripling the permanent impactof the project above the proposed alternative. Therefore, using a single 48-inch diameter culvert was determined to beimpracticable as it would not be considered the least impacting alternative per Env-Wt 302.04(a)(2).10. As required by NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 904.09(b), a technical report dated July01, 2019, prepared by theenvironmental scientists of Meridian Land Services, Inc., was received by NHDES on July 03, 2019. The report indicates thatthe proposed stream crossing meets the general design criteria specified in NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 904.01 andprovides evidence that the stream crossing meets the specific design criteria specified in NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt904.02 to the maximum extent practicable. Therefore, the applicant has met all the requirements for an alternative design fora new tier 1 stream crossing per NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 904.09(d).11. In an email dated July 01, 2019, the applicant expressed their understanding that they will be responsible for themaintenance of the proposed dual 36-inch diameter culverts in order to ensure continued and unobstructed flow through thisstream crossing in order to prevent culvert deterioration and failure.12. Compensatory mitigation shall not be required per NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 302.03(c)(2)e. as the project involvesonly minor impacts to streams identified in Env-Wt 303.03.13. The Barnstead Conservation Commission waived its right to comment on the project by signing the application on May01, 2019.14. As of August 02, 2019, no comments of concern have been received by NHDES from abutters.

A post-construction report, prepared by the Certified Wetlands Scientist or Qualified Professional monitoring the project,documenting status of the project area, including photographs, shall be submitted to the NHDES Wetlands Bureau(stefanie.giallongodes.nh.gov) within 60 days of the completion of construction. Subsequent monitoring and correctivemeasures may be required if the area is deemed inadequately stabilized or restored.

With Findings:1. This is a Minimum Impact Project per New Hampshire Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.04(o), projects deemed minimumimpact by the department based on the degree of environmental impact.2. The proposed impact is temporary, expected to last approximately two weeks, and does not involve excavation orplacement of fill material. The proposed impacts are necessary in order to install a temporary timber mat bridge andtemporary access way to transport equipment to the existing Tucker Well to perform pilot testing for potential development offuture water supply infrastructure.3. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per New Hampshire Administrative Rule Env-Wt 302.03.4. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(b) Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.5. This is a municipal project located within a municipally-designated Prime Wetland.6. In accordance with NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 204, Waivers, the applicant has requested that NHDES waive NHAdministrative Rule Env-Wt 704.01 (no permit shall be issued until 20 calendars days after notification of the department’sdecision). The waiver is requested due to the minimal nature of the impact and to ensure that the work can be done duringthe peak low-flow period, thereby minimizing any potential adverse impact.7. On June 11, 2019, the Newmarket Planning Board voted unanimously to support the project, as proposed, providedconcurrence is attained from the Newmarket Conservation Commission.8. In correspondence dated June 17, 2019 the Newmarket Conservation Commission stated no objection to the project, asproposed.9. In accordance with NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 204.04, a waiver will be granted if the project will not have an adverseimpact to the environment or natural resources of the state, public health, or public safety, and the strict compliance with therule will provide no benefit to the public and will cause an operational or economic hardship to the applicant.10. In accordance with NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 703.01(b), the NHDES finds that the project is consistent with and willnot result in significant net loss of values set forth in RSA 482-A:1, impacts to the prime wetland are the minimum practical,could not be reasonably avoided and the project is supported by the municipality by which the wetland was designated prime.11. Consistent with NH Administrative Rule Env-Wt 204.04, the Department finds that strict adherence to the rule would notbenefit environment or natural resources of the state, public health, or public safety and strict compliance with the rule willcause an operational or economic hardship to the applicant. Therefore, the Department waives the requirements set forth byNH Administrative Rules Env-’iM 704.01.12. The project is located within the quarter mile corridor of the Piscassic river and is, therefore, subject to review by theLamprey Rivers Advisory Committee (LRAC).13. In correspondence dated June 28, 2019, LRAC raised concern regarding contingencies if a low-flow period does notoccur, potential future impacts to the site following the pilot study, potential impact to threatened or endangered plant andwildlife species and regulatory considerations related to the proposed temporary surface water discharge into the PiscassicRiver (a class A waterbody).14. Through the applicant’s agent response, dated July 09, 2019, and subsequent technical review and permit conditions,the LRAC’s cited concerns have been addressed.15. A temporary surface water discharge permit was not issued by NHDES due to the Class A designation. However, atemporary groundwater discharge permit has been issued by NHDES for this project (NHDES file # TGP-201903017-N-01 1).16. The NH Natural Heritage Bureau (NHB) datacheck report (NHB18-3172), indicated potential impact to identifiedexemplary natural communities plus threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species.17. In correspondence dated June 7, 2019, NHB stated that based on the anticipated minimum water depth at the targetstart time of the project, the method proposed, the intended survey to be conducted by a certified wetland scientist to verify

Decision Report 25 8/15/2019For Actions Taken 07/29/2019 to 08/0412019

the presence or absence of the known threatened and endangered plant species in the vicinity and the plan to allow theproject area to “self-seed’ and natural restore, there were no additional questions or concerns.18. In a report dated July 24, 2019, the certified wetland scientist described a rare plant species investigation conducted onJuly 19, 2019 which included the entire river reach along the subject property boundary and found neither of the threatened orendangered plant species.19. In correspondence dated August 01, 2019, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (NHFG) stated that, withconditions, there are no further concerns with the proposed project relative to threatened or endangered turtle species.20. In accordance with RSA 482-A:8, NHDES finds that the requirements for a public hearing do not apply as the permittedproject is not of substantial public interest, and will not have a significant impact on or adversely affect the values of theriverine resource, as identified under RSA 482-A: 1.

Proper headwalls shall be constructed within seven days of culvert installation.

With Findings:1. This is a Minimum Impact Project per Administrative Rule Env-Wt 904.07(c), as both proposed stream crossingreplacements are existing legal crossings that are classified as tier one under Env-Wt 904.02(a), will meet the general criteriaspecified in Env-Wt 904.01, will not diminish the hydraulic capacity of the crossing, and will not diminish the capacity of thecrossing to accommodate aquatic life passage.2. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverseimpact to areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per Env-Wt 302.03. Access to the proposed residenceon Tax Map/Lot R7-16 will utilize the driveway located on Tax Map/Lot R7-23-1, for which there is an access easement, andan existing timber harvest road that connects the access easement to the lot. In addition, the project as proposed willupgrade two tier I stream crossings on the timber harvest road by replacing existing 10-inch diameter culverts with 24-inchdiameter culverts, accommodating a 50-year frequency flood.3. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in Env-Wt 302.04(b) Requirements forApplication Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.4. On April 24, 2019 the Town of Greenfield Conservation Commission signed the Wetland Application waiving its right tointervene pursuant to RSA 482-A: 11.5. The New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau (NH B) has reviewed the proposed project (NHB19-0508) and determinedthat there are no recorded occurrences of sensitive species near the project area, per the letter dated February 8, 2019.6. NHDES received no comments from abutters.7. On July 5, 2019, Fieldstone Land Consultants, PLLC provided a drainage assessment reporting that the overall drainagearea for both tier 1 stream crossings is 43 acres.8. The drainage assessment provided by Fieldstone Land Consultants, PLLC confirmed that both tier 1 stream crossingreplacements are sized so as to accommodate the flows of a 50-year storm event without overtopping the driveway, meetingthe tier 1 stream crossing requirements in Env-Wt 904.02.9. The two existing culverts were originally permitted under Forestry Notification #1999-00268, for timber harvesting on TaxMap/Lot R7-23-1. The agent provided a Lot Line Revision Plan, dated June 26, 2012, indicating that up until the lot linerevision Lot 23-1 extended onto what is now Lot 16. The Lot Line Revision Plan shows an adjustment of the Tax Map/Lot R7-16 property line to include the location of the proposed culvert replacements.

With Findings:1. This is a Minimum Impact Project per New Hampshire Administrative Rule Env-Wt 303.04(ah) and Env-Wt 904.07, as itproposes to upgrade an existing tier 2 stream crossing.2. Littlehale Brook is a first-order tributary to Beards Brook, with a watershed drainage area at the point of the crossing ofapproximately 275 acres (0.43 square miles), which converges with the Oyster River approximately one mile downstream ofthe project area.3. Multiple pre-application meetings were held for this project, including on May 26, 2015 and March 21, April 12 andDecember 21, 2018.4. The applicant has provided evidence which demonstrates that this proposal is the alternative with the least adverse impactto areas and environments under the department’s jurisdiction per New Hampshire Administrative Rule Env-Wt 302.03.5. In early 2015 the existing structure, consisting of an outlet control device and a 30-inch culvert, was found to meet thedefinition of a Low Hazard dam as defined by RSA 482:2 and New Hampshire Administrative Rule Env-Wr 301.03, RoadwayCulverts.6. Due to the known water quality impairments in Lifflehale Pond, frequent algal blooms and flooding, rather than retainingthe existing structure and obtaining registration with the NHDES Dam Bureau, the town opted to remove the structure anddesign the proposed replacement.7. In correspondence dated July 11, 2019, The NHDES Dam Bureau found that the proposed project will not result in astructure that meets the definition of a jurisdictional dam.8. Littlehale Pond is on NH DES’ 303(d) list of impaired waters for failure to support Aquatic Life Use due to low levels ofdissolved oxygen.9. The project to replace the existing structure with an upgraded culvert and to install bioretention and biofiltration stormwaterfeatures has received funding from the NHDES Watershed Assistance Section for its high potential for water qualityimprovement.10. In 2017, the stop logs were removed from the outlet control structure to dewater the 0.9 acre Littlehale Pond. Since thattime a significant portion of formerly inundated land has revegetated and developed a defined meandering stream channelwithin it.11. The applicant has demonstrated by plan and example that each factor listed in New Hampshire Administrative RuleEnv-VVt 302.04(a), Requirements for Application Evaluation, has been considered in the design of the project.12. In correspondence with NH Division of Historical Resource dated November 30, 2018, it was determined that there willbe no impact to historical resources as a result of this project.


13. The Natural Heritage Bureau (NHB) report submitted with the application package (NHB18-3349) stated that there arecurrently “no recorded occurrences for sensitive species near this project area.’14. On December 17, 2018, the Durham Conservation Commission signed the NHDES Wetlands Permit Application,thereby waiving their right to intervene and indicating support for the project, as proposed.15. In correspondence dated May 28, June 10 and June 25, signed authorization was obtained from the four affectedabutters (Durham Tax Map I Lot #: I / 17-3, 1 /18-1, 3 I 3-7 and 3 I 3-3) authorizing temporary entry and re-entry within thelimits of work shown and authorizing the Town’s agents to submit necessary permit applications. These authorizations do notreserve permanent rights.16. No additional comments or concerns were received by NHDES from abutters or local governing organizations.17. In correspondence dated July 30, 2019, the applicant stated that based on the results of an NHDES OneStop search,there are no known potential upstream sources of contamination.18. In the application narrative and in correspondence dated July 30, 2019, the applicant stated that sediment is notexpected to mobilize during or after construction as the impoundment was dewatered two years earlier and the vegetationand channel have become well established, the project design includes extended scour protection measures at the inlet andout of the proposed culvert and the new culvert will match the upstream grade an alignment.19. In the application narrative, the applicant’s agent stated that there are no fire suppression systems associated with thisimpoundment and that the Town of Durham has a municipal water main with hydrants to service Bagdad Road. Therefore, noimpact to local fire suppression systems is expected as a result of the project.20. In the application narrative, the applicant’s agent stated that “There are no known surface withdrawals at this location.This section of Durham is on “town” water’. Therefore, no impact to surface water withdrawals or nearby water supply wells isexpected as a result of the project.21. The proposed crossing has been designed in accordance with the New Hampshire Administrative Rules Env-Wt 904.01,General Design Considerations.22. The outlet control structure and culvert will be replaced with a more hydraulically and geomorphically compatibleconcrete box culvert, embedded with stream simulation.23. Streambed simulation material will be well-graded and washed into place or installed by some other means to ensureadequate chinking to maintain minimum surface water depth for stream connectivity during periods of low flow.24. The structure will be installed at an alignment and elevation consistent with the natural historic stream channel.25. Under proposed conditions, peak flow and water surface elevation during the 50 and 100-year flood frequency events willbe approximately l98cfs at 35.6 feet and 244cfs at 36.8 feet, respectively. The finished grade above the proposed structureis approximately 42 feet.26. Based on the hydraulic analysis provided, and in correspondence provided by the applicant’s agent dated June 28, 2019,the proposed culvert will accommodate the 50-year flood frequency event and will pass the 100-year flood frequency eventwithout overtopping the road.

With Findings:1. In accordance with RSA 483-5:9, V, (i) The commissioner shall have the authority to grant waivers from the minimumstandards of this section. Such authority shall be exercised if the commissioner deems that strict compliance with theminimum standards of this section will provide no material benefit to the public and have no material adverse effect on theenvironment or the natural resources of the state.2. This property, identified as Lot 32 on Moultonborough Tax Map 291, is located entirely within the protected shorelands.3. The property includes lands within the waterfront buffer thus the owner is required to meet RSA 483- B:9, V, (a), (2) (C)requiring no removal of ground cover except as necessary for a foot path to water and access ways as provided under RSA483-5:9, V(a)(2)(D), (viii) and (ix), for normal maintenance, to protect the waterfront buffer, cutting those portions that havegrown over 3 feet in height for the purpose of providing a view, to provide access to natural areas or shoreline, or asspecifically approved by the department, pursuant to RSA 482-A or RSA 483-B.4. And as the property includes lands within the waterfront buffer the owner is also required to meet RSA 483- B:9, V, (a), (2)(D) (iv) stating vegetation shall not be removed from any segment which fails to meet the minimum point score for thatsegment. Owners are encouraged to take efforts to plan the maintenance of their waterfront buffer areas including theplanting of additional non-invasive vegetation to increase point scores within segments, thus providing sufficient points toallow the future removal of vegetation as may become necessary while still meeting the requirements of this paragraph.5. The location of the existing primary structure within the waterfront buffer in combination with the close proximity of nativevegetation within the waterfront buffer to the primary structure footprint makes it necessary to impact portions of the protectedvegetation and results in the removal of ground and other vegetation within the waterfront buffer.6. The project proposes the replanting of the buffer of any vegetation temporarily removed to complete the project.7. The strict compliance with the minimum standards of RSA 483-B:9, V, (g), (3) will not provide material benefit to the publicand will have no material adverse effect on the environment or the natural resources of the state and therefore, therequirements for a waiver to RSA 483-5:9, V, fg), (3) have been met.

This permit shall not preclude NHDES from taking any enforcement or revocation action if NH DES later determines thatany of the structures depicted as “existing” on the plans submitted by the applicant were not previously permitted orgrandfathered.

With Findings:1. In accordance with RSA 483-B:11 alteration or expansion of a nonconforming structure may expand the existing footprintwithin the waterfront buffer, provided the structure is not extended closer to the reference line and the proposal or property ismade more nearly conforming than the existing structure or the existing conditions of the property.2. In accordance with Env-Wq 1408 (b) As specified in RSA 483-B:1 1, V, no alteration shall be made to an existing structurebetween the primary building line and the reference line that extends the structure closer to the public water, except that adeck or open porch extending a maximum of 12 feet towards the reference line may be added to nonconforming structureserected prior to July 1, 1994.3. In an email dated June 28, 2019 the Alton Conservation Commission stated concern the proposal would make anonconforming structure even more nonconforming and in the 50-foot setback.4. The project proposes to expand the existing nonconforming structure by 140 square feet within the waterfront buffer withthe construction of a deck onto a nonconforming primary structure residence.5. The project also proposes to manage stormwater from 140 square feet of deck area not required by RSA 483-B:9 withdrip line trenches.6. The project also proposes to plant additional trees and shrubs in the waterfront buffer to increase the point values in 3grids.7. The proposal includes redevelopment of the existing conditions of the property, such that the structures or the property arebrought into greater conformity with the design standards of this chapter, therefore the property is more nearly conforming.
