The old structure was likely >40 years old (no one is sure) and was broken and crumbling, leading to erosion under the slabs and into the back yard, as well as partial collapse of the retaining wall that held it all up.

Demonstration of Need for a Variance The variance provision of the riparian buffer rules allows the ❑vision or the Environmental fvbnagerrent Cornrission to grant a variance when there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships that prevent compliance with the strict letter of riparian buffer protection. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 1. Explain how complying with the provisions of the applicable rule would prevent you from securing a reasonable return from or make reasonable use of your property. Merely proving that the variance would permit a greater profit from the property shall not be considered adequate justification for a variance. The Division will consider whether the variance is the minimum possible deviation from the terms of the applicable Buffer Rule that shall make reasonable use of the property possible.* Old patio/parking pad was very old, and was broken and crumbling so badly that repair was not possible. It was decided to replace the old structure using roughly the same footprint as before in order to align with the e)asting driveway and rear fagade of the house. An additional seating area was added to the patio. 2. Explain how the hardship results from application of the Buffer Rule to the property rather from other factors such as deed restrictions or other hardships (e.g. zoning setbacks, floodplains, etc).* House was built in 1948, and was the first house built on the street. Patio/parking pad was at least 40+ years old and was a present and ongoing use. Structure was already in Zone 2 and had been for many years before Buffer Rules were imposed. 3. Explain whether the hardship was caused by the applicant knowingly or unknowingly violating the applicable Buffer Rule.* We proceeded to replace the old structure without realizing that a buffer was in place and that the structure was already in Zone 2. 4. Explain how the hardship results from physical nature of the property, such as its size, shape, or topography, which is different form that of neighboring property.* See #2 above. 5. Explain how the hardship is rare or unique to the applicant's property, rather than the result of conditions that are widespread.* See #2 above. For Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, Jordan Lake and Goose Creek only: 6. Did the applicant purchase the property after the effective date of the applicable Buffer Rule and then request a variance?* When I purchased the property in 2003, 1 was not asked to provide a plot plan, and no e)asting survey was available. There was never any mention of a buffer until we began work on the structure in 2019. Sign and Submit I. Sign and Submit Deed Restrictions By your signature of this application, you certify that all structural stormwater BMPs required by this variance shall be located in recorded drainage easements, that the easements will run with the land, that the easements cannot be changed or deleted without concurrence from the State, and that the easements will be recorded prior to the sale of any lot.
