Application Snniniary: The applicant requests the following in order to reconstruct a 1,440 s.f. (120* x 12’) gravel driveway to access and use a 1.8 acre island on his property: 1) a sariaiKC for filling in 2,091 s.f. of a wetland, where no fill or hardcover is normally permitted, 2) conditional use permits for movement of more than 500 cubic yards of fill and mitigating wetland within the shoreland overlay district; 3) a variance to allow an agricultural use (grazing of horses) within the 150 ’ of the OHWL of French I.akc; 4) a \ariance to allow a 4* fence to be located as close as 14’ from the OHWL of French Lake where 150 ’ is required; and 5) a variance for mitigating 4,234 s.f. of land within 75 ’ of the OHWL of French Lake where no grading or excavation is permitted. There is an exisUng trail accessing the island of land at this time. TIk trail has been worn down over time so the applicant wishes to improve it for machiner> to be able to drive on it. In the 1950s, the original land owner used this land for grazing cattle. The construction of the driveway requires 2.091 s.f. of wetland to be filled with approximately 132 cubic yards of material if rebuilt on the existing drive. However, the amount of fill is difficult to anticipate at this time so, since the soils ha\e not been checked, there ma> be more than 132 cubic >*ards of fill required. In the case that more than 500 cubic yards of fill is required, an application for a conditional use permit has been made. §03-2869 Dr. Robtrt Cummi S/13/2003 Pagt2 afS
