APPROVAL for the use of the "General" MAJOR VARIANCE; From the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer
Rules for the Construction of Residential Structures on Existing Lots within the Coastal Counties as defined by
the Coastal Area Management Act with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Dear Ms. Huddle:
You have our approval, in accordance with the conditions listed below, to impact approximately 1,044 square feet (ft) of
Zone 2 of the protected riparian buffers for the purpose of constructing a single family residence on the subject property
as described within your application dated January 13, 2003. This letter shall act as your approval for the use of the
"General" Major Variance; From the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules for the Construction of Residential
Structures on Existing Lots within the Coastal Counties as defined by the Coastal Area Management Act with
ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS as approved by the Water Quality Committee (WQC) of the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) on May 10, 2001. In addition, you should get any other required federal, state or local;permits before
you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control and CAMA permits. This
approval shall expire when the variance expires on April 11, 2006 unless it is renewed before that time by the EMC.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your variance request. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new request for approval. If the property is sold, the
new owner must be given a copy of this approval and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed below.
Conditions:
Zone 1 Temporary Impacts
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has calculated based on your proposed site plan that you intend to
disturb,approximately an additional 1,400 ft2 of Zone 1 beyond the 1,044 ft2 of Zone 2 impacts proposed.
It appears that the Zone 1 impacts are only required as temporary disturbance during construction of the
home and will occur in an area that is currently being maintained as a grassed lawn. The DWQ has
decided to approve the impacts as depicted on your proposed site plan with the conditions that the area is
returned to its original vegetated condition immediately after construction is completed and that no fill is
placed within this area.
2. Diffuse Flow
All new stormwater drainage shall be directed to vegetated areas as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities
prior to entering the protected riparian buffers as identified within 15A NCAC 26 .0233(5). No new
ditching or piping of stormwater through the protected buffers is allowed.

Management Act that meet the conditions stated below.
This "general" major variance from the Riparian Buffer Protection Rules in the Neuse
(15A NCAC 2B .0233) and Tar-Pamlico (15A NCAC 2B .0259) River Basins is hereby issued by
the NC Environmental Management Commission (EMC) for impacts to the protected buffers as
long as the conditions prescribed below are met.
The applicant must submit to Division of Water Quality (DWQ) three copies of the DWQ
"General" Major Variance Application Form that describes how the following conditions of this
variance will be met. If these conditions can not be met, an individual Major or Minor Variance
from the Buffer Rules may be sought from the EMC. This "General" Major Variance shall expire
on April 11, 2006 unless it is renewed before that time by the EMC.
Conditions:
1. The residential lot must be located within one of the coastal counties as defined
by the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
2. Applicants must show that they have met the requirements for a variance as
specified in the buffer rules in "VARIANCES" [15A NCAC 2B .0233(9)(a)(i)-
(iii) and 15A NCAC 2B .0259(9)(a)(i)-(iii)] for the specific river basin where the
impacts will occur.
3. Applicants must show that the residential lot has been platted and recorded prior
to August 1, 2000.
4. Construction is for residential buildings and related structures such as garages,
decks, porches, attached commercial buildings, driveways and sheds.
5. Substantial expenditures and contractual obligations must have occurred in good
faith prior to the August 1, 2000. Substantial expenditures and obligations must
have been made in reasonable reliance upon governmental permits and/or
approvals (such as 401 Water Quality Certifications, CAMA permits, active
connection to an existing sanitary sewer system or local on-site wastewater
system approvals). Supportive written documentationmust be submit eZFt6 the
DWQ for review.
6. The lot must be buildable, without wetland impacts except for driveways and/or
utility crossings and any impact to the buffer shall be minimized to the maximum
extent practical.
7. Where impacts to the buffer will occur, the impact should be minimized to the
greatest extent practicable as determined by DWQ staff.
8. Any on-site wastewater treatment must not be located within 50 feet of a surface
water as specified in "ZONES OF THE RIPARIAN BUFFER" [15A NCAC 2B
.0233(4) and 15A NCAC 2B .0259(4)] of the buffer rules. The only exceptions
include any pretreatment systems meeting the Treatment Standard 1 as found in
15A NCAC 18A .1969 Innovative System Approval regulated by the NC
Division of Environmental Health, On-site Wastewater Section.
9. On-site stormwater management controls must be shown on the application and
stormwater runoff must be directed away from the adjacent surface water and/or
coast wetland as determined sufficient by DWQ staff; measures such as rain
gardens, bio-retention areas, vegetative filter strips and planting of trees or shrubs
along bulkheads and/or property lines to maximize pollutant removal may be
required as determined by DWQ staff. If the applicant is required to obtain a

Attachment 1
Part 2: Proposed Activity
Proposed Activity shall include construction of a residential house impacting approximately
1044 SF of Zone 2 riparian buffer. (see attached drawing)
2. The proposed activity cannot be practically accomplished at other locations on the property
due to lot topography, location of an existing pond, location of an existing septic tank and drain
field, and alignment of the closest Neighboring house. The proposed residential house is
designed to be constructed centered on the lot, on the highest elevation on the lot and in
alignment with the neighboring house. The proposed house cannot be moved to the North due
to the existing pond and the existing septic tank and drain lines. The proposed house is
centered on the lot and in alignment with the closest neighboring house. The purpose of our
request is to construct our desired house in harmony with the neighboring houses in the most
logical location.
Runoff and sedimentation will be controlled by not disturbing the vegetation in the Zone 1
riparian buffer area during and after construction. During construction silt fence will be
installed to prevent sediments from leaving the disturbed construction area. After construction
the disturbed areas will be immediately sodded to original condition. Roof drains that handle
water from the impervious area, (i.e. the roof), will extend to the North and South away from
the Zone 2 riparian buffer areas and diffused into underground perforated pipes buried in the
North and South yards.
4
(1) The difficulties would require the proposed house be restricted in width and not
centered on the lot. The major hardship would be that the house be redesigned from
what we have chosen to build and the house not be centered on the lot in harmony
with the other houses in the nieghborhood. In addition, the construction of a house
outside the Zone 2 riparian buffer area would require additional fill material to be
placed on the site to raise the existing elevation.
Huddle
Page 2
January 13, 2003
(2) These unique difficulties exist due to the man-made canal that exists on the West side
of the property, the unique topography of the property, and the location of the closest
neighboring house. In designing the house, we concluded that the most logical
location of the proposed house was at the planned location, (i.e., The center of the lot,
the highest ground and in alignment with the neighboring house).
(3) Although economic hardships are not the major considerations for building in the Zone
2 riparian buffer area, the additional costs would include a fee for redesigning the
proposed house and the costs for additional fill material.
