Intention to build a single family dwelling for private one family residential use Obtained building permits that were
approved and issued by the City of Durham however during the course of construction it was brought to our and their
attention that the creek next to the property was an intermittent stream and that there were buffers that had to be
implied and we were in violation of the area required This was brought to our attention after numerous site visits by
Durham storm water division to the site without response to the creek as well I don't believe anyone working ion this
project knew this was an identifiable stream and applicant was not informed by the City of Durham of this being an
identifiable stream or creek when the survey of the parcel was submitted to the City of Durham as a part of the building
permit application process.

E. Demonstration of Need for a Variance
The variance provision of the riparian bufferrules allows the Division or the Environmental Management Commission to grant a
variance when there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships that prevent compliance with the strict letter of riparian
buffer protection.
1. Explain how complying with the provisions of the applicable rule would prevent you from securing a reasonable return from
or make reasonable use of your property. Merely proving that the variance would permit a greater profit from the property
shall not be considered adequate justification for a variance. The Division will consider whether the variance is the minimum
possible deviation from the terms of the applicable Buffer Rule that shall make reasonable use of the property possible.
The subject parcel had a pre-existing residential home located thereon, and the neighborhood is a densely populated district
within the city limits of Durham, and within 1.5 miles of the central business district of the City of Durham. There are
residential homes located on all lots surrounding the subject parcel. The pre-existing home on the subject lot is located
within Zone 2 of the Neuse Riparian Buffer and its construction appears to have pre -dated the creation of the Neuse Buffer.
The issue in this request is not about whether the applicant will be able to secure the greatest financial return on its financial
investment, but instead is whether the applicant will be able to secure any return on its investment without approval of a
FORM: VAR 10-2013 Page 5 of 8

within the city limits of Durham on more than 20 prior projects (get exact # building permits issued to CCPS). On each
project, applicant orders a lot survey with house location located thereon, and surrounding streams, creeks, lakes or other
waterways, which is sent to the City of Durham as a part of their building permit application. This is more than the City of
Durham requires, and in this case, the survey and plot plan provided to the city with the building permit application showed
the creek/stream location. The survey and plot plan were reviewed by the City of Durham along with the application, and a
building permit was issued without warning or notice of the Neuse Riparian Buffer zones located on the lot. Applicant was
not aware that the lot contained such a buffer and was never informed by any third party or city employee prior to receipt of
a letter and Notice of Violation dated April 14, 2016 from the State of North Carolina Water Resources and Environmental
Quality Department. W.C. Blalock, Chief Building Inspector,
Durham City -County Inspections Department, informed counsel for the applicant that "newer employees had reviewed this
permit application, and they paid more attention to the structure than to the creek located on the survey, and they missed
it." In addition, Mr. Blalock also stated that he had received more information from the lot owner than he normally receives
in the building permit application process, and that normally the City would not be provided enough information to be able
to determine whether there was an existing stream, creek waterway or a state mandated buffer zone; however, in this case,
the survey and plot plan provided to the City of Durham did, in fact, clearly show the path of the stream along the rear
property boundary of the subject parcel. Which put the city on notice of the stream prior to issuing a building permit. Mr.
Blalock's comment indicates that his staff should have determined the existence of the Neuse Riparian Buffer and that the
proposed structure would be violative of both Zones 1 and 2 thereof. Thus, the commencement of construction, to the point
of framing the structure in its entirety and installing a roof on the two story home had been completed prior to issuance of a
stop work order on this project. Oddly, photos attached to the letter were date stamped April 6, 2016, and the photos show
only the 1st story framed at the time, and would the lot owner have been provided with notice of an anticipated violation on
or before the time when the photograph was taken, there would have been significantly less expense involved in moving the
structure to a location within the footprint of the previous structure. At this time, the estimate of the cost to move the home
to another location on the lot is approximately $20,000.00, although the home would still be located within Zone 2, and
would require relief from the State of North Carolina in the form of a variance, to proceed with construction. As a result, the
applicant, which secured a mortgage loan to acquire the parcel and for construction of the residence to be located thereon,
and the lender, who has invested capital in this project and anticipated investing additional funds into future projects located
in the City of Durham, will lose money on this project and potentially impact the continued viability of the applicants ability
to continue in its current business — money that we believe would not have been lost had the City of Durham reviewed the
survey and plot plan submitted in the permit application process. It is the desire of the applicant to continue with this
project, with the understanding that it will undertake remediation measures to disperse flow of runoff and also to re -
vegetate the lot in a manner that complies with both 15A NCAC 02B, et seq., and the City of Durham Unified Ordinance.
Absent a major variance being issued, the subject parcel will not be a buildable parcel. With the area where the subject
parcel is located already being a densely populated city neighborhood, the best use of the parcel is for a single family
residential home, which is what the lot has always been used for, prior to the acquisition of the lot in November 2015 by the
applicant. Furthermore, the quality of construction that has been approved by the City of Durham for this lot is above that
which previously existed on the lot, and will benefit the neighborhood and the city in a significant manner, if a major variance
is approved and the project is completed, as planned, with remedial measures added to the project scope that will re -
vegetate the land in the affected zones and disperse concentrated flow of runoff to the stream.
2. Explain how the hardship results from application of the Buffer Rule to the property rather from other factors such as deed
restrictions or other hardships (e.g. zoning setbacks, floodplains, etc).
The parcel has always been used for residential purposes with a pre-existing home being located thereon when the current
owner purchased the lot in November 2015. Residential use in a city neighborhood that is densely populated with residential
homes on all sides of the lot make such continued use the best possible use for the lot. Not only is there an extreme financial
hardship that would be created should a major variance not be granted but there is not other location on the lot where a
residential home could be constructed without issuance of a variance. There are also no other detriments to bulldin on the
subject parcel but for the existence of the Neuse Riparian Buffer.
Explain how the hardship results from physical nature of the property, such as its size, shape, or topography, which is different
from that of neighboring property. (***Tony / Terry to add)
The stream running through the back corner and adjacent property limits our building envelope To the point where we
cant provide a desired dwelling footprint. The required city setbacks in conjunction with the state required buffers were not
compliant on the previous dwelling either. We attempted to turn in any and all pertinent data/information to the city for plan
review, including a watershed map that didn't alert anybody at that time on the placement of the home on this lot In
FORM: VAR 10-2013 Page 6 of 8

conclusion we could have done a better compliant placement of the dwelling had the city provided any knowledge of a possible
intermitted stream and buffer_ requirements. We would have been able to rectify the situation at that time by providing a more
compliant placement of the structure.
4. Explain whether the hardship was caused by the applicant knowingly or unknowingly violating the applicable Buffer Rule.
Unknowingly. An initial survey and plot plan was prepared prior to requesting a building permit from the City of Durham
which showed the location of a creek running through a rear property boundary and corner of the subject parcel Applicant
was unaware of the existence of the Neuse Buffer being applicable to the creek referenced on the survey lot plat, and
after submission to the City of Durham, the building permit was issued also without reference to the Neuse Buffer Zones and
the location of the proposed structure. The approved building permit was provided to the applicant after full disclosure of
the creek location, parcel identification information and survey / plot plan but the City of Durham also failed to identify the
Neuse Buffer in their review. Applicant would have requested a variance or changed the location of the structure had it
known of the Buffer location in advance of being issued a building permit . -or after the re nest for a building permit was
made by applicant. However, Applicant proceeded with construction upon being granted its building permit still without any
knowledge of the Neuse Buffer zones located on the subject property
5. For Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, Jordan Lake and Goose Creek only: Did the applicant purchase the property after the effective date of
the applicable Buffer Rule and then request a variance?
Yes. However, and as specifically stated above in Paragraph 4 an initial survey and plot plan was prepared prior to requesting
a building permit from the City of Durham which showed the location of a creek running through a rear property boundary
and corner of the subject parcel. Applicant was unaware of the existence of the Neuse Buffer being applicable to the creek
referenced on the survey / plot plat and after submission to the City of Durham the building permit was issued also without
reference to the Neuse Buffer Zones and the location of the proposed structure. The approved buildingpermit was provided
to the applicant after full disclosure of the creek location parcel identification information and survey / plot plan but the
City of Durham also failed to identify the Neuse Buffer in their review Applicant would have requested a variance or changed
the location of the structure had it known of the Buffer location in advance of being issued a building permit, or after the
request for a building permit was made by applicant However, Applicant proceeded with construction upon being granted its
building permit, still without any knowledge of the Neuse Buffer zones located on the subject property
6. Explain how the hardship is rare or unique to the applicant's property, rather than the result of conditions that are widespread.
There was a prior residential structure located at 611 N Elizabeth Street at the time when applicant purchased the parcel in
November 2015. Applicant has exhausted significant financial resources in the beautification of the neighborhood where the
subject parcel is located in Durham by purchasing old homes and either re building or tearing down and building a new
structure on site, all single family residences. This has resulted in entire neighborhoods being rejuvenated by applicant in the
subject area. In this case, since a home was located on site that applicant has later learned was also situated within the
Neuse Buffer, and since applicant was not informed by the City of Durham of the existence of the Buffer at the time of
requesting their building permit with an attached plot plan and survey, the issue raised in this request fora Major Variance is
unique to this parcel, and applicant does not believe that a building permit should have been issued since sufficient
identifying information and surveys were provided to the City in advance of issuance of the building permit Applicant has
previously been denied building permits on other parcels where the City of Durham finds such Buffer zones or other matters
that might prevent a structure to be located on the parcel and such did not occur for this parcel and would have prevented
the violation from occurring.

I will keep a maintenance record on this BMP. This maintenance record will be kept in a
log in a known set location. Any deficient BMP elements noted in the inspection will be
corrected, repaired or replaced immediately. These deficiencies can affect the integrity
of structures, safety of the public, and the removal efficiency of the BMP.
Important operation and maintenance procedures:
• Water every 7-10 days without adequate rainfall (1" per week) until plants
become established; usually takes the first year. Once established, plants should
be watered in long periods of drought.
• Fertilizers are typically not necessary.
• Refresh mulch annually. Loosen existing mulch and add only if needed up to 3
inches of mulch. Best times to mulch are after 1st frost in fall or after last frost in
spring, otherwise the plants could be insulated too soon. Un -mulched surfaces
may develop into a hardpan, a condition in which the soil surface becomes
cemented together, forming a hard, impervious layer. Make sure mulch is only 3-
4 inches; too much mulch will reduce ponding and function of rain garden.
® Weed regularly during plant establishment, as newly planted species may have a
tough time competing with weeds. Once plants become established, less weeding
will be required.
• Pruning to let some of the other plants grow. In the winter, leave dormant plants
standing and deadheads for bird food. Cut back in the spring,
• Keep garden healthy and clean. Rain gardens should be periodically cleared of
dead vegetation and any debris that may collect. Replanting may be necessary
over time, If a plant is not doing so well in one location of the garden, it may
have to be moved to a wetter or dryer area.
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall
be repaired immediately.
