Hello,
Sorry for the confusion. It looking over the Catawba Riparian Buffer Rules, walkways are allowed as long as
they stay under 6' wide and do not remove any trees within the buffer. If you could read, fill out and sign, and
return to me the Catawba Riparian Buffer form, I can continue to work on your application. I have attached the
form in two formats. If you could return to me whichever one works for you that would be most appreciated.
Again, sorry for the confusion.
Sincerely,
Doug Perez

Hello,

I am emailing you today about your Buffer Authorization application. I have a few concerns about this project.
First, we do not allow for concrete walkways to be installed in the buffer. They increase the amount of runoff
that would normally diffuse slowly throughout the buffer. You can install a boardwalk style walkway
comprised of decking material, however concrete is not allowed. In order for you to put in a walkway that you
are proposing, you would need to apply for a variance and show definitive hardship that is being placed upon
you. As it stands, I cannot approve this application. Without alteration to you plans, I would suggest that you
remove the application.
Sincerely,
Doug Perez
