| talked to Anthony Scarbrough about the options for this property, He strongly believes that we don't make the guy
infiltrate the roof-top stormwater as we had once discussed, based on these factors:
1. The house is to be built on an existing footprint of a house damaged and removed during a hurricane prior to
present owner's purchase, There will be no increase in impervious area for the house. None of the area ispaved
but a portion of the previously-grassed yard has been denuded by truck and trailer movement.
2. The property owner is going to pay into the Tar Pamlico Mitigation Bank which will provide for buffer restoration
at 3:1 ratio for the Zone l impacts and 1.5:1 in zone two.
3. The existing buffer on the property is?? Was??? grassed but will be replaced (via the mitigation bank) bya
forested buffer.
4. The property owner will direct the roof-top runoff from his residence to a grassed area of the property and allow
it10 flow ina diffuse manner through a grassed area.
5. There is no reasonable option to unload the crabs to the refrigerated trailers without having the two trailers
near the water.
6. The owner has been operating a fishing business for two years and will be forced to close if he is not allowed to
operate at the location he purchased for that purpose.
7. He has added top soil and planted grass seed on portions of the property to increase stormwater infiltration.
8. The stormwater from portions of the property impacted by the business area will flow toward the creek but will
be detained bya two-feet high bulkhead at the water's edge. VVe believe that the soils will at least infiltrate the
design storm of1S inches and probably more.
9. It would be difficult to design a crab loading area without having it impacting the buffer.
If you want me to write up something for you for the EMC agenda, let me know and I'll do that. I'd need to look at
some recent ones since it's been a decade since I've written a variance request.
