RE: Supplemental Information
Eliasziw Residence
3 Parallel Street
Salem, MA 01970
Dear Mr. Devine & Members of the
Commission,
We were authorized to prepare this letter 1 , 17
report by Misha and Sheila Eliasziw, record
owners of the property known as Assessor's
Map 23, Lot 247, located at 3 Parallel Street
in the City of Salem, Massachusetts (the
"Site"). In brief, we have reviewed the
proposed project which includes the
construction of an attached garage to an
existing single family home as it regards
existing wetland resource areas at the site.
We have recommended certain changes to
the design and have had those changes
inco'rporated to a revised site plan (Figure 1, View of the Eflasziw Home from
attached). We request that the Commission Parallel Street. The proposed garage

Form 2, Determination of Applicability. The
Wetland Replication,Wildlife Habitat Assessment, Permit Preparation,and Ecological Services
3 parallel street supporting information—final text-12082012.doc Page I
following is a summary of our assessment of the project and recommended changes
to the site plan.
Summary of Profect
WETLAND RESOURCE AREAS
The existing wetland resource areas associated with the site include bordering
vegetated wetland which is located immediately downgradient of the existing split
rail fence to the rear of the Eliasziw's property. The site is located with the 500 year
FEMA Flood Plain but not within the 100 year flood plain, as determined by FEMA
(Figure 2). Accordingly, jurisdiction is limited to the 100 foot buffer zone to
bordering vegetated wetland, as shown on the
updated site plan (Figure 1).
We understand the Commission is concerned
with flooding issues associated with the
neighborhood based on testimony of others.
Our position is that the MA Wetland Protection
Act presumes that FEMA established flood
elevations govern areas of bordering land
subject to flooding, unless areas of known
flooding are not included on the most recent
FEMA FIRM Maps. The MA Wetland Protection
Act defines bordering land subject to flooding
as the following:
310 CMR 10.57
3. The boundary of Bordering Land
Subject to Flooding is the estimated
maximum lateral extent of flood
water which will theoretically result The downgradient bordering
from the statistical 100-year
vegetated is located approximately 48
frequency storm. Said boundary
�hall be that determined by refer�nce fe,,frrn the nearest comer of the
to the most recently available flood proposed garage.

)De artment of Housing and Urban DevelopmenW-S—aidboundary, so
determined, shall be presumed accurate. This presumption may be overcome
only by credible evidence from a registered professional engineer or other
professional competent in such matters. Where NFIP Profile data is
unavailable, the boundary of Bordering Land Subject to Flooding shall be
Wetland Replication,Wildlife Habitat Assessment, Permit Preparation,and Ecological Services
3 parallel street—supporting information—final text-12082012.doc Page 2
the maximum lateral extent of flood water which has been observed or
recorded.
The site is located within the 500 year flood elevation established and mapped by the
FEMA FIRM for this area (Figure 2). Because the site is not located within the 100
year flood elevation established by FEMA, there are no performance standards that
are required to be met regarding bordering land subject to flooding associated with
this property.
There are no special protections under the Salem Wetland Protection Ordinance
afforded to bordering land subject to flooding or other areas subject to flooding, that
we could find. The Ordinance references protections under the MA Wetlands
Protection Act and Regulations and there are no Regulations establishing separate
protections to areas of flooding under the Ordinance, to our knowledge.
Accordingly, it is our opinion that performance standards associated with buffer zone
to bordering vegetated wetland only apply to this property.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The project includes the proposed construction of an attached garage and associated
driveway connecting to the existing driveway. The garage is approximately 27 feet
by 17.5 feet. The garage will be constructed on a slab set at existing grade. The
garage will be approximately 473 square feet in size. The roof of the garage will be
a shed roof attached to the existing single family home (Figure 1). The proposed
driveway will connect to the existing driveway and will be 10 feet wide. The closest
point of the proposed garage to the bordering vegetated wetland is approximately 48
linear feet. The proposed work is
located within areas of existing
lawn.
We have made some modifications
to the original design to address
concerns of the Commission . 1
regarding flooding issues in the
area. The following is a list of K
these improvements:
4
I. We propose a drip edge
beneath the shed roof of the
garage. This drip edge will be
24 inches wide by 24 inches
deep and be filled with 1 inch
stone. The drip edge will
facilitate infiltration of runoff
water to the water table. This Aqua Brick is a product that is designed to facilitate
will keep water from running the infiltration of surface runoff to a poroU55ub base
over ground and potentially to the underlying water table.

REQUEST FOR NEGATIVE 3 FINDING
In our professional opinion, the project has been designed to meet the performance
standards of 310 CMR 10.55 associated with the buffer zone to bordering vegetated
wetland. Design details have been provided to the Commission demonstrating the
proposed project will have no significant adverse effect on the downgradient
bordering vegetated wetland. Moreover, the project has incorporated design
elements that will facilitate groundwater recharge and reduce local flooding in the
area. Accordingly, we request that the Commission issue a Determination of
Applicability, Negative 3, WPA Form 2, page 3:
3. The work described in the Request is within the Buffer Zone, as defined in the
regulations, but will not alter an Area subject to protection under the Act. Therefore, said
work does not require the filing of a Notice of Intent, subject to the following conditions(if
any).
Should you have any questions, please call any time at (978) 356-5408.

Pedestrian Friendly, Environmentally Advanced
The Aqua-Bric" Series
Advanced Pavement Technology presents a pedestrian-friendly, but vehicular tolerable stormwater manage-
ment system featuring Aqua-Brice permeable pavers.The smooth,flat surface created using Aqua-Brice
meets ADA standards and is a superior choice for areas with high foot traffic - even for pedestrians in high
heels or wheel chairs. Ideal for roadways, parking lots, plazas and walkways,Aqua-BricO is used by
Advanced Pavement Technology to implement the environmentally sound Bio-Aquifer Storm System(BASST").
See backside for more information.
Benefits of BASSrm with Aqua-Bi Aqua-BrIcO
• Meets pedestrian slip resistance standards from the Type 4
Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)Architectural Dimensions:
Guidelines, as well as EPA stormwater requirements Nom.5"x 10"x 3
• Provides smooth surfaces with minimal
openings to make walking more comfortable
• Allows for rapid removal of stormwater through void
openings
• Eliminates standing water for plazas and
walkways without sloping
• Maximizes design flexibility by enabling a wide range
of creative patterns.
N
• Simplifies maintenance in climates with ice and snow

When used as part of Advanced Pavement Technology's exclusive BASSTM method, these pavers allow
for natural stormwater drainage and groundwater recharge, making the paved surface ecologically sound
and economically smart. In fact,the BASSTm method is an acceptable post-structural Best Management
Practice(BMP) used to meet the federal stormwater management requirements. Roads and parking lots
created using BASSTm with these permeable pavers offer vast benefits:
• Meeting EPA stormwater requirements with a - Delivering maximum strength to handle heavy
