That 426sf was already impacted from the old house footprint. Hopefully this answers your questions. I guess we should remove that from the calculations table.

Is this correct that there are 426 sq ft of new house impact in the Zone 2 buffer?

From: Robin Walsh [mailto:rw@liggettdesigngroup.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2011 2:35 PM To: Chapman, Amy Subject: RE: Permit modificatior 1 Hi Amy, I overlaid the previously approved site plan over the new site plan and there is one area where the new proposed retaining wall and drive is outside of the previously approved retaining wall footprint. The plan above shows the location of the previously retaining wall per plans 3/31/11 and the new retaining wall. All other proposed site features are within the previously approved plan w/ the exception of this area. What does this mean as far as getting buffer authorization approval for the new site plan?

It looks like the new site plan is within the footprint of the previously approved site plan, so no modifications are necessary. If I'm not interpreting the revisions correctly please let me know. Thanks. -Amy From: Robin Walsh [mailto:rw@liggettdesigngroup.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2011 11:07 AM To: Chapman, Amy Subject: RE: Permit modification Hi Amy, Our client's have opted to reconfigure the footprint of the cover porch so that the 32sf is no longer in the buffer. With that change, it seems from our phone conversation yesterday that the proposed site features (retaining wall, walk, steps and a portion of the house (which fits over the existing footprint of the old house) are allowable uses in the buffer and falls under a buffer authorization. The question I have is 1. Since we already have a buffer authorization approval from the drawings we submitted on 3/31/11 can the buffer authorization be used for this new site plan or do we need to submit for a modified buffer authorization? If you would please let me know how to proceed on getting approval for this new site plan that would be great. Thanks for your help.

If this is true, the home would require a minor variance instead of the buffer authorization they were approved for before. If this is the case, any portion of the house in the buffer that is not currently on top of existing impervious surface would require a minor variance. This application is more detailed than the authorization was. Please verify whether they are putting new portions of the home (living space) in the buffer where there currently is no impervious surface. Thanks. -Amy From: Robin Walsh [mailto:rw@liggettdesigngroup.com] Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 1:15 PM To: Chapman, Amy Subject: RE: Permit modification Hi Amy, The impacts in Zone 1 and 2 have been reduced w/ the new site and house footprint. The original approved plans, dated 3/31/11, shows the following amount of land disturbance in Zone 1 and 2 as: Zone 1 33 sf Zone 2 1,201 sf The New site plan shows the land disturbance that is impacting the Zone 1 and 2 as: Zone 1 32 sf Zone 2 630 sf If you will please let us know how to proceed in regards to revising the permit per the new plans dated 3/31/11. If you feel I need to come in for a short meeting, I can meet anytime on Friday after 10:00.

Do you have time to meet this week to review the revisions. I am available any time Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. It seems that we need to submit for a modification DWQ permit.

The modification would not be required unless the decreased impacts were outside of the approved footprint. If the impacts are within the same footprint, but less area, then the modification is not necessary. It would be the owners decision at that point. The time frame is hard to judge, but we would have 60 days to do it. It wouldn't take nearly that long, but it does get issued out of the Raleigh Regional Office now. Let me know if you need anything else. 4 Thanks -Amy From: Robin Walsh [mailto:rw@liggettdesigngroup.com] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 11:57 AM To: Chapman, Amy Subject: RE: Permit modification Hi Amy, I have a "what if' scenario. If someone receives a Neuse River permit than decides to decrease the amount of impact in the buffer areas is a permit modification required or even necessary. If a permit modification is necessary than what is the time frame to get the modification permit approved. Can construction begin w/out modifying the permit?
