Box 17177 <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27516 <br />Re: Orange County Zoning Ordinance Surface Water Identification <br />Haw River Unprotected Watershed <br />PIN 9739 -67 -3056, TM B L 6.26..5 <br />PIN 9739 -64 -5698, TM B L 6.26..27 <br />West 54 LLC Property <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />This letter serves as confirmation of an on -site surface water identification made by Orange <br />County Erosion Control Division staff for the referenced parcels. Orange County enforces a <br />stream buffer along streams and water features in the County per the Orange County <br />Zoning Ordinance (see Section 6.24.1 Additional Requirements for Lots Outside of <br />Watershed Protection Areas, as amended on May 20, 2003). <br />The evaluation showed that there are several water features on the parcel in question <br />that are subject to buffer regulations. The water features are approximately referenced <br />on the attached aerial photograph / map. The subject water features will require a 65' or <br />80' undisturbed buffer along both sides, calculated per the referenced Zoning <br />regulations. These undisturbed buffer areas shall be measured from the top of the <br />stream bank, outer edge of wet, marshy areas, or outer edge of the floodplain where <br />applicable (see below): <br />S: \ \ErosionControlDivision\ 2009 \CapeFear\ 011609 .TMBL6.26..5 &6.26..27.West54 <br />
