Hi Mr. Steinbrecher,
I've had a chance to review the riparian buffer application you sent for the Brooks Barbee deck extension and just need
a little more information. I have to know how many square feet of the deck extend into the buffer to be able to
authorize the impacts. You'll need this authorization to get a building permit. The plan can be simple, and I've attached
an example for your information. The site plan needs to include the following information:
• The stream needs to be shown on the site plan.
• Show the two zones of the riparian buffer on the plan as measured from the top of the streambank. Zone 1 is
measured 30 feet from the top of the stream bank, and Zone 2 is measured from 30 feet to 50 feet. These
riparian buffers parallel the stream pattern.
• Site plan must depict the footprint of the proposed permanent impacts within Zone 2.
• The square footage of the impacts in Zone 2 must be identified in the application.
Thank you for your assistance getting this information.
