4. Proposed Activity ��

Provide a detailed description of the proposed activity including its purpose and include the type of equipment to be used:
We have a 10' x 12' storage shed in our back yard which has limited space. The shed has to be within the 50' buffer of the 760'
contour line based on the available space in our yard and the home/ windows. This does not require the removal of trees or other
vegetation. It would will remain behind the setback of the house. and the closest corner is well clear of the seawall and should be
approximately 35' from the 760 contour.
Currently the shed is placed approximately 5' interior of the seawall but it was brought to our attention we need to move it outside of
30 feet of the 760 contour.

Comments:
My wife and I added a Storage shed to our backyard on Lake Norman. It is a 10' x 12' (120 sq ft) standard storage shed. We had a
reputable builder do the job which believed this was placed in an area without restrictions. We were recently informed it is within a
buffered area and needs to be moved. In order to keep this in our back yard and stay within our HOA rules/regulation it does need to
stay within the 50' buffer of the 760' contour. We can have it moved further from the lake if this is necessary. Placing it 5 foot inside of
the fence will permit a 35' foot buffer from the 760'. It is also well clear of the FEMA flood line. It should essentially be even with
house. It will not require removing or altering any vegetation ro disturbing any soil. This will permit drainage under and around with
minimal restriction. I have attached survey with red markings of shed and plans.
Thank you,
Philip Jones

My wife and I placed a 10' x 12' storage shed in our back yard. We have a seawall and it is sitting on leveling blocks inside of the
seawall within the back yard. We had a reputable builder in the area contracted through Lowe's home improvement that built it on site
and they were not aware of any restrictions regarding sheds of this size in this zone. It was brought to our attention recently that this
is a protected area.

Additional Comments:
As stated above, this is a small storage shed that has minimal environmental impact. Unfortunately we do not have many options to
place this due to vegetation and the slope of the land, fencing, and HOA regulations. This is a very necessary structure for my wife
and I and our growing family. Thank you for your time.
I do apologize for any information I could no answer. Please reach out to me directly at 336.509.2282
