Conditions usually include stormwater management and buffer mitigation. Additional information will be required before we can proceed with the review of your variance request. Therefore, unless additional information is provided as described below, we will have to move toward denial of your request per 15A NCAC 2B .0233 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Additional Information Requested: Buffer Mitigation Buffer mitigation will be required as a condition if you choose to proceed with the Minor Variance. If you choose to proceed with a variance, then please provide a buffer mitigation plan pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0233.
