This variance would <br />provide relief from the normal 150-foot. reservoir buffer, which covers approximately two-thirds <br />of the property. <br />The applicant is proposing to expand and renovate an existing A-frame residential structure on <br />the property, specifically an addition of 16’ by 34’ (544 sq. ft.). The applicant has stated the <br />addition shall be located at the farthest point possible away from the lake while still connected to <br />the original structure. <br />The applicant notes the need for the addition based on the structure’s original A-frame <br />construction, as there are no viable bedroom spaces or ability to meet accessibility needs and <br />various other building code requirements. However, due to setback relationships between <br />house, well, and septic, the applicant states there is no other viable configuration to provide for <br />an addition. <br />All renovations would be required to obtain all proper permitting through Orange County should <br />a Variance be granted. <br />ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS: <br />Per Section 6.13.4 (c) Minimum Buffer Widths for Watershed Protection Overlay Districts <br />development project(s) within the Upper Eno Critical Area Overlay District are required to <br />adhere to the following buffer requirement(s): <br />a. 80-foot stream buffer, when slopes are greater than 7.5%, applied to the outside of the <br />outside of the Special Flood Hazard Area (100 Year FloodZone) <br />199
