Re: Elbert Boyd Property; Neuse River Buffer Determination
Dear Mr. Murphy:
At your request, I made a site visit to the Elbert Boyd property off Brassfield
Road near Bayleaf in Wake County on July 16, 1998. The purpose of the site visit was
to determine presence of any intermittent or perennial stream that would be subject to the
Neuse River Buffer Rules requiring a 50 foot wide vegetated buffer along its banks.
Cedar Creek flows along the western most property line. Since there is existing
forest vegetation along this stream the Neuse River Buffer Rules in effect today require a
50 foot wide buffer on both sides of the stream channel.
I have enclosed a copy of the current Neuse River Buffer Rules that require a 50
foot wide vegetated buffer along intermittent and perennial streams with existing forest
vegetation within the Neuse River Basin. If you have any questions concerning this
determination please feel free to contact me 733-1786.
Sincerely,
Peter Colwell
Environmental Specialist

RE: MR. BOYD'S HORSE BARN
THE ENCLOSED `SURVEY' SHOWS THE LOCATION PROPOSED BY MR. BOYD FOR
HIS HORSE BARN. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED A COPY OF THE WAKE COUNTY GIS
SHOWING "EVERYTHING", INCLUDING SOILS TYPES, TOPO, WATER FEATURES,
ETC. MR. BOYD TELLS ME THAT HIS WEST LINE IS A STREAM, AND THERE IS A
DRAINAGE SWALE PARALLEL TO BRASSFIELD ROAD (YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE
TOPO) BUT "THERE AIN'T NO DAMN WATER ANYWHERE NEAR MY BARN."
PLEASE CALL ME AT 787-7873 WHEN YOU HAVE DETERMINED WHAT ACTION, IF
ANY, IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO LEGALLY RECORD THIS MAP.
THANKS.
JIM
