3 Draft 1 Leon Meyers: Okay. Then Case A-7-24. Lauren. 2 3 AGENDA ITEM 6: CASE: A-7-24 - To review and hold a quasi-judicial hearing for a Variance request (Case 4 Number BA24-0005). 5 6 Request has been submitted by property owners Ronald L. Geib, Jr. and Kristen Geib. The 7 applicants have applied for a Variance to allow for reductions in the required reservoir 8 setbacks (150' buildings and 300' septic systems). The site is located on Orange County PIN 9 9857-87-2089, located 4630 Old Lake Trail, Hillsborough, NC, and lies within the Cedar Grove 10 Township of Orange County. 11 12 Lauren Honeycutt: Good evening. Let me skip through our beginning here. This is a case to hear a variance for 13 the reservoir setbacks at Lake Orange. The location of our parcel is 4630 Old Lake Trail. The 14 applicant tonight is David Cates on behalf of the property owners, Ron and Kristen Geib. The 15 applicant is requesting a variance from Section 6.13.4.(C), this is where our minimum buffer 16 widths for watershed protection overlay districts come from, and then also a variance from 17 Table 4.2.9. This is the water supply/sewage disposal facilities. These two sections require 18 150-foot buildings setback and a 300-foot septic setback from the reservoir water line. This 19 is measured at the 615-foot contour. The applicant is applying for this variance in order to 20 build a new construction. It's going to be a residential structure located about 145-feet from 21 Lake Orange. They are proposing to reduce the setbacks by half as part of this variance, 22 including a 75-foot building setback and a 150-foot septic setback. Just something to note is 23 that the Orange County UDO does allow for what's qualified as existing lots to encroach upon 24 established stream buffers and the setbacks for septic systems, but existing lots is defined as 25 lots that were created prior to January 1, 1994. This lot was recombined, thus making it 26 ineligible for this since its lot lines changed back in 2003. So,just kind of an overview. What 27 we have at Lake Orange right now:the buffer, you can see the reservoir building setback 150- 28 feet that goes around the lake in yellow, and then also a septic setback you can see there in 29 that blue hatching. A lot of structures currently existing there are within one of these buffers 30 given age and that existing lot status. This is the lot that we are looking at tonight for the 31 variance. As mentioned, it's on Old Lake Trail. You can see Lake Orange borders it to the 32 west. And just an illustration of what it would look like should the 150-foot building setback 33 and 300-foot septic setback be applied to the parcel as it currently is. That 615 contour 34 elevation is mapped in yellow which is where the setbacks are measured from. I'm going to 35 turn it over to the applicant to go through the exhibit that's presented before you, showing the 36 proposed residential development which necessitates the variance. 37 38 Leon Meyers: Before we do that, let's have everybody come forward who intends to testify this evening please 39 and be sworn on both cases. 40 41 SWEARING OF THE TESTIMONY 42 43 Jack Moran: Do you swear and/or affirm that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth and 44 nothing but the truth to the best of your knowledge? 45 46 Applicants: I do. 47 48 Staff: I do. 49 50 Leon Meyers: Thank you, Lauren. Mr. Cates? 3
