Eastham Planning Board unanimously approves Cedar Lane home addition in new chair's first case. The board, seated with all seven members under new Chair Michelle, voted 7-0 to grant site plan approval for a remodel and addition at 30 Cedar Lane sought by owners Daniel and Margaret Milski. Architect Peter Haig confirmed a 20-inch oak near the new porch will be removed, calling it unsafe to preserve given its lean and proximity to construction.
Member Andrew Holt questioned whether a proposed two-to-one tree replacement ratio adequately offset the loss, prompting an added finding that mitigation meets "the maximum practical extent" standard. The proposed 4,106-square-foot footprint and 11.11 percent site coverage exceed neighborhood averages but stay within bylaw maximums. No abutters spoke against the project; two letters of support and no letters of opposition were received.
