Draft 9 Cates, will speak on behalf of the property owner, Cynthia Barlow. So, this item is coming before 1 you based on Section 2.10 which gives you all, as the Board of Adjustment, the authority to modify 2 or vary regulations when the strict application of those regulations would cause an unnecessary 3 hardship. So, as we think about this case, as you all think about this case, Attachment 4 is going to 4 be the place where you find those specific hardships outlined that you are determining whether any 5 hardship is met, and the applicant is proposing to evidence that those hardships are being met. So, 6 they're, again, applying for a variance from the 150-foot reservoir buffer to allow for the construction 7 of a single-family home. The modification is requesting a reduction of 75 feet from that 150-foot 8 buffer. The buffer is outlined in Section 6.13.4.C, minimum buffer widths for watershed protection 9 overlay districts. This property is in the Upper Eno Critical Watershed Overlay, and, again, the 10 reservoir is Lake Orange reservoir, so it has its own unique buffer in this instance. The existing 11 parcel was created as part of a 1992 subdivision action. The subdivision predated the 1994 zoning 12 ordinance in which that 150-foot buffer was implemented, and another piece to be aware of, which 13 I'm sure the applicant will address, is that there's a stream buffer on site as well. This is the property 14 itself today. It has Lake Orange to the west, to the east it has frontage on a private road, Old Lake 15 Trail, which then runs into Deer Run, and this is the visual of that 150-foot buffer. So, for this 16 reservoir, the buffer is pulling from the 615-foot elevation mark which is the yellow line running the 17 coast of Lake Orange. These are the two visuals that the variance is being requested from. The 18 next slide was actually put together by the applicant, and at this point, I'm actually going to hand it 19 over, unless you have any specific process questions before you are ready for the applicant. 20 21 Leon Meyers: Any questions for Taylor on the staff presentation? 22 23 Holly Fraccaro: No. 24 25 Leon Meyers: If not, the next thing we're going to handle, Taylor, is we have a, is it Mr. Geib, Ron? Right, let's be 26 sure that we handle Mr. Geib's standing. 27 28 Taylor Perschau: Sure. 29 30 Leon Meyers: So, if he has questions of the applicant, assuming he establishes standing, we'll have that all in 31 place. Mr. Geib, could you come forward, please? 32 33 Ron Geib: Yeah. 34 35 Leon Meyers: Tell me your last name. I may not be reading it correctly. 36 37 Ron Geib: It's Geib. 38 39 Leon Meyers: Geib. 40 41 Ron Geib: Yep. Thank you all, and this is not my job, so like I said, I'm going to try to follow the rules of the 42 way you need to. 43 44 9
