      Notes:
      Two onsite visits were conducted. First visit on 1/31/24 took photos of property and look at existing and proposed structures. Residence was found to be 6-14' too close to the OHWL of the public water wetland that has a 150' structure setback to it. Second visit was conducted on 2/2/24 to pull new measurements from the OHWL with the landowners to re-stake the residence. The new staking (not pictured) shifted the residence northwest which met the OHWL setbacks of 150'. All other structures met the required setbacks. Current cabin is being re-permitted with a change of use to be an accessory structure. No sleeping quarters are allow. Site visit on 1/31/24 showed at least 2 existing beds within the cabin that will need to be removed.
      Was an onsite conducted for this application? Yes
