4. Proposed Activity

Provide a detailed description of the proposed activity including its purpose and include the type of equipment to be used:*
We would simply like to cut down 1 tree that has grown so tall that it towers above
our house and makes it extremely dangerous. We have two young children and we
live in fear that the tree is going to fall on our house with even the smallest storm.
On Feb. 6, 2020, a storm with 80-100 mph winds hit the Lake Royale subdivision.
The path of the storm was less than 3/4 of a mile from our house. A LOT of trees in
the path snapped and fell down or simply turned over from the roots and fell down.
We were barely missed. It is not a matter of "if' this tree will fall, it is "when". Several
others in our yard came down in Hurricane Matthew a few years back.
This particular tree is so much taller than all the others that have come down and
we are so scared of it. We cannot escape it.
The tree sits about 38 - 40 feet from the water. We know about the 50-foot
restriction but we beg that you let us take this tree down. We are happy NOT to
disturb the root or ground beneath the tree. We are happy to let the stump stay
there. We will plant some more bushes around it and we are even happy to plant
another shorter -growing tree in its place.
Please understand that we would never do anything to hurt the lake. It is just
extremely dangerous being so tall and it is sure to fall on our house if it comes down
in a storm. When we see it swaying in the strong winds it is just incredibly scary.
We ask you please to give us authorization to cut the tree down. There will be no
heavy equipment, only a man and a chainsaw. They can piece -cut it down from the
top by climbing the tree.
Thank you so much for your consideration.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project.*
We will leave the tree stump in the ground and will not move the earth around the
tree.
We will plant another tree near it to make up for this one coming down.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.*
Please see 1 a.
E. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. What type of SCM are you providing?*
❑ Level Spreader
❑ Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
❑ Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
rJ Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the
buffer
❑ Other SCM that removed minimum of 30% nitrogen

Violations
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 021-11.0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 02H .1300), DWR
Surface Water or Wetland Standards, or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0200)?
2b. Is this an after -the -fact buffer authorization application?
C Yes
c No

2c. If you answered "yes" to one or both of the above questions, provide an explanation of the violation(s):
According to the Property Owners Association of the Lake Royale community,
cutting the tree in our back yard would be a violation of the Riparian Buffer Rules.
This is why we are requesting special permission to cut down the dangerously tall
tree that is a danger to our home.

Hopefully these pictures showyou howtall the tree is. The backyard is a downhill
slope and if you look at the picture from the front of the house you can see how
very tall the tree is.
