Application of Arturo Guerra & Helmar Wolf
We have owned the eleven acre Podunk Farm tract since the
mice- nineteen eigh I ties , with the intention of constructing a
residence north of the Podunk River. We propose a building lot
with some 250 feet of frontage along Beldon & Ellington Roads ,
with access from Beldon Road. The lot would be approximately
1. 78 acres. This lot would thus exceed the minimum lot size in
the A-20 residential zone by almost four times (20 ,000 square
feet minimum,we propose 77 ,536 square feet) . It would also ex-
ceed the minimum lot frontage by 150 feet (100 feet minimum,we
propose 250 feet) . The immediate area for the house contains
31,800 square feet free of wetlands , which, incidentally, is
an area larger than the zones minimum lot size. As we proceed
with the application review process before the Planning & Zoning
Commission and the Inland Wetlands Agency, we may well find more
wetlands-free area in areas of the lot not proposed for develop-
ment. Any concerns: regarding the Podunk River floodplain should
be alleviated in that our house location allows for a first floor
elevation some 13 feet above the 100 year flood, and even the
basement would be 5 feet above the 100 year flood. The house
footprint is very (large on our maps to demonstrate the feasibility
of building a house on this lot (40 'x60 ' shown) .
While in our opinion we meet the letter of Section 5 a,
in that we have more than 10 ,000 square feet and a 90 'x90 ' square
free of wetlands, some regulatory commissioners are interpreting
this section's "regulated wetlands" to mean "regulated area" , which
is regulated wetlands plus an additional 40 feet, or An additional
80 feet from a watercourse. This new regulation and its interpreta-
tion was recently brought to our attention by our design engineers .
Our hardship lies in the unique configuration of the lot's
natural features, especially the wetlands peripheral to our building
area, and a small stream which is off to the side. Our other hard-
ship relates to the newness of this regulation, and especially its
interpretation by some, of which we had no knowledge when we bought
the farm. Similar variance requests have been granted to other appli-
cants. Also, public sewer & water service is avhilable for this lot.
We propose to build the house in approximately the same location as the house
that once occupied this lot.

Re: Residential property - west side of Beldon Road
Dear Helmar & Arturo:
Upon examination of the proposed placement of a residential
dwelling on the subject parcel I wish to offer the following:
1.) 'I7ie 100 year floodplain elevation in this area is approximately 47.0.
�.) A house could be constructed with a walk-out basement at elevation
52.0, and a first floor at elevation 60.0. This would place the
basement floor elevation approximately 5 feet above the 100 year
flood elevation. This is more than adequate protection from
the potential for flooding any portion of the proz.,osed structure.
Arsena lt, P.E.
