Hi Robb, here is the updated form going from 22x28 to 24X28.
I'll include the new drawing as well... This was able to be expanded by moving the shed to the side
within the set backs about 10' to the right and turned sideways.
Let me know if you need anything else...

Thanks,
Ray

I Robb, here is the new layout. The shed will be moved to within the setbacks not far from where it is
now and twisted to be running in the same line as the property instead of the driveway. Please let me
know if there is anything else you need me to do with forms etc... Thanks, Ray 978-868-0771

Hi Robb and Sheila, do I need to submit new paperwork or is the previous approval document that I

So would just substituting this version of the plan with the original application work? Here is what I
have...
Basically we are moving the garage 10 feet forward to accommodate the deck in the back which will
be about 12-14 feet above ground with stairs going up to the deck from underneath ending on the
deck to the end closest to the home... I do not know how to describe that in the drawing but I could
write that in
We are also adding a breezeway in the front of the house the front side of the garage with a door
going into the garage and a second door for the normal outside entry...

Let me know what you think of this drawing...
Thanks in advance for your help Robb...
Regards,
Dom

Dom,
Do you have a drawing of your modification? Either way, I believe you will need to submit a new application as this will be
a new version.

Hi Robb, my wife has decided that she would like to add a deck on the back of the garage over the
back side facing the water. Since it would be above ground and just have a set of stairs leading to it
would this need to be added to the plan that we submitted and or resubmit another plan moving the
garage structure forward to compensate for the deck? I could move the structure forward in the new
plan and submit if needed and we were also thinking of adding a breezeway from the main home
structure to the garage but that would be in the front part, would that also need to be added to the
plan even though its not anywhere near the water for your approval?
Thanks in advance for your help with this project...

Regards,
Dom

Hi Robb, for the Diffuse Flow Plan, I'm planning and putting in a fairly large Cistern and using leaker
hoses for watering gardens and grass. Will that suffice for a Diffuse Flow Plan?

Dom,
Attached is the form with my additions in red. Please check for accuracy. Under E. Diffuse Flow Plan, please include a
plan on how the stormwater will be treated. Please fill out the Supplementary Information under 2. Violations, which I
assume there's none. Once you complete, feel free to send over for another review. Once completed, make sure to sign
and date. You'll need to send it to your completed application to Ms. Karen Higgins, which her contact information is at
the bottom of Sheet 4 of 4.

regulations. This Authorization Certificate shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter.
This approval requires you to comply with the following additional conditions:

3. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond
the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Application. All forestry operations activities shall be
performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur [15A
