Re: "General" Major Variance Request

Dear Sir or Madam:

My wife Nancy and I purchased the above lot 5 years ago from Richard and Judith
Schneider. When we purchased the property, it had a "General" Major Variance for the
construction of a portion of a single family home in Zone 2. This variance was issued
January 8, 2002 and a copy has been enclosed.
in April 2006, I contacted Mr. Kyle Barnes and discussed with him the existing variance
and that I would not be able to complete construction of the home prior to the expiration of the
variance on January 8, 2007. Mr. Barnes informed me to submit a new application when the
existing variance expired. Mr. Bames asked me to enclose with this application, a copy of the
original variance and a copy of his email so the reviewer of this application would know the DWQ
has "allowed impacts to this property before" and we have discussed our proposed impacts with
Mr. Barnes.
Also enclosed is a copy of the plot plan prepared by Dennis Fomes, PLS last revised
October 14, 2005. This plan shows the proposed house location with the encroachment into
Zone 2 shown. No encroachment into Zone 1 is requested.
At this time, the boundary between Zone 1 and Zone 2 has been staked by Dennis
Fornes and preparation of the house site has been completed. The construction of the house is
not completed and a new "General" Major Variance is requested.
If you have any questions or need any further information, please contact me on my
mobile number at 862-266-4836.

Part 2: Proposed Activity
(Please include attachments if the room provided is insufficient.)
1. Description of proposed activity [Also, please attach a map of sufficient detail (such as a plat
map or site plan) to accurately delineate the boundaries of the land to be utilized in carrying
out the activity, the location and dimension of any disturbance in the riparian buffers
associated with the activity, and the extent of riparian buffers on the land. Include the area
of buffer impact in ft2.:
The owners propose to construct a single family residence
with a 36' x 50' footprint--(1800 sq. ft.) of which 500 sq.
in Zone 2 of the Neuse River Buffer. The house will be 90'
mean hi;?h_w_ater_and_no closer than 30' to coastal vegetation
determined by DCM site visit of 10/22/01.-
2. State reasons why this plan for the proposed activity cannot be practically accomplished,

minimize disturbance in Zone 2 with no disturbance in Zone 1.
3. Description of any best management practices to be used to control impacts associated with

- ~ 4. Please provide ari explanation of the following:
(1) The practical difficulties or hardships that would result from the strict application of this
Rule.
The desirability of this lot lies primarily in the water
view. Strict application of both Zone 1 and Zone 2 buffer
would .force home location so far back from the water that
view would be dramatically impaired.
(2) How these difficulties or hardships result from conditions that are unique to the property
involved.
This lot was designed during subdivision for a home location
to be 75' back from mean hi h water rior to the ado tion of
t e Neuse River Bu er Rules. Setback from coastal ve etation
wou orce ome site too ar from water.
(3) If,economic hardship is the major consideration, then include a specific explanation of the
economic hardships and the proportion of the hardship to the entire value of the project.
The value_of this particular lot and the type of home that
can be built on it presume a water view from the home.
This value would be greatly deminished unless a portion of the
home can occur in Zone 2. No encroachment into Zone 1 is requested.
Part 3: Deed Restrictions
By your signature in Part 5 of this application, you certify that all structural stormwater best
management practices required by this variance shall be located in recorded stormwater
easements, that the easements will run with the land, that the easements cannot be changed or
deleted without concurrence from the State, and that the easements will be recorded prior to the
sale of any lot.

»Dear Mr. Barnes, Thank you so much for taking the time to speak to me
» last week. I work for a township health department in northwest NJ, so
» I know how busy you must be. The approval for a general major variance
» for a zone 2 encroachment was issued Jan. 8, 2002. The original owner
» was Richard C. and Judith Ann Schneider. The property is now owned by
»my wife and I. As we discussed, I wish to apply for another approval
» as I want to start the house construction after the expiration date of
» Jan. 8, 2007, probably in 2009. If we can t get approval for a new
» application, we would start construction in December of this year but
»would not be my preference. Would you please send me the link to
» obtain the application and what the procedure would be to apply? The
»property is located in Pamlico County at 3636 Brown Creek Road,
»Merritt, NC, 28556 and is known as lot #2 Rosa Deimo Subdivision.
» Our names are
» Gene S. and•Nancy E. Jsias
»23 Sherman Ridge Rd.
» Sussex, NJ 07461-3303
» Cell phone # is 852 266-4836
»Thank you for your help. Gene
Gene,
We do not have a renewal process. You will have to submit a new application when the one
you have expires. There should be no complications by going through this process. When you
resubmit send a copy of the variance you hold now and a copy of this a-mail along with the
new application and amp changes that suit your home. The review should go quick and smooth
with all that information. Just as a reminder copy and send this a-mail when you resubmit
in case I am not the reviewer in the future and DWQ will understand we have allowed
impacts to this property before. I have your information and I will make the owner changes
to the current file. If you have any further questions please let me know.
Kyle Barnes
