On December 7, 2012, I met with Larry Harris at the property identified by Wake County tax
records as being owned by Mary Harbor & Hilda Best to determine if two (2) drainage features
located on or near this property were subject to the Town of Apex (Town) riparian buffer rules.
Based on the information obtained during the site visit and per the requirements set forth in
Section 6.1.11 of the Town Unified Development Ordinance, I have determined the following
riparian buffer width as summarized in the table below.
