Please find the enclosed Variance Request Form for a minor buffer variance associated with the
Pamlico Tar River Foundation s Tar River Camping Platform Project This variance request is
for a proposed camping platform located on Mr Lee Dawson's property off of Clark's Neck
Road in Pitt County, NC near Tranter's Creek on the Tar River between Washington and
Greenville It is our intention to begin construction on this raised wooden camping platform this
summer before the fall paddling season begins
Due to site constraints at the approved location we are requesting a variance in Zone 2 of the
buffer along the main stem of the Tar River on his property We intend to avoid and minimize
our impact to the greatest possible extent as outlined in the Variance Request Form We thank
you for the opportunity to facilitate the construction of such a structure along the banks of the
Tar River and to promote recreational use of the river and ecotounsm in Eastern NC Please feel
free to contact me via email at richardkptrf org or by phone at [phone] if you have any
questions or concerns with this request
