Total Buffer Impacts: 200.00

Comments:
TOTAL Zone 2 impact looks to be less than 200 sq ft. This request is to extend our existing deck by 10 feet & relocate deck's 10 feet
as well. New, uncovered, slatted wooden deck would measure approximately 20 feet x 10 feet. Newly relocated, new!
constructed wooden steps would be moved out by no more than 10 feet & remain 4 feet wide.
(( Plans call for our next door neighbors, the Gardners, to request authorization to extend their existing deck by approximately as well.
Ideally the construction of both decks & steps would be completed as one project built by one contractor. ))
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project.
Any impact to Zone 2 will ONLY be to a grassed lawn area. No trees to be impacted. New uncovered, wooden slatled deck
construction will have porous/pervious flooring which will not limit the positive benefits of natural rainfall. All construction will be by
hand. No heavy equipment will be used.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Only construction impact will be to manually dig holes for vertical support framing (maximum of 4 to 6 holes - contractor to determine
what will be needed) for the deck's wooden support framing. All construction will be by hand. No heavy equipment will be used.
E. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. What type of SCM are you providing?*
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
Other SCM that removed minimum of 30% nitrogen

SECTION 4. PROPOSED ACTIVITY: Attached pdf Site Plan - Recommend application's reviewers zoom in on the attached pdf files.
Property owners' names are posted left to right (Adamson, Merchel, Bear, Gardner). The "Concrete Patio" has been in place all along.
The goal of this project is to simply add on an additional 10 feet of usable, outdoor, uncovered deck space. Intent is to not disturb any
existing, environmentally friendly flows of rainfall into the lake. Other than covering an existing grassy area with a porous/pervious
deck floor, no other natural vegetation will be impacted at all
A fully licensed general contractor will construct the entire project. Any and all Lincoln County permits and/or specifications will be
fully adhered to.
Project will also be formally reviewed and approved by the Westcape Village Homeowners Association's (HO) Architectural Review
Committee AND the HOA's Board of Directors.
