The approvals allow a proposed 1,105-square-foot, three-story home to be located where wetlands and no-build areas limit construction options. The applicant said the design would avoid greater wetland impacts, include 4,500 square feet of wetland restoration, and avoid removing about 40 trees. The project remains subject to building, addressing, sewer, erosion-control, and other requirements identified in departmental letters.
