On April 27, 2017, Adam Efird and myself met with Jennifer Burdette to discuss this project (see
attached application form and maps). This project proposes to construct a residential house on a lot in
North Raleigh that contains an unnamed tributary to Hare Snipe Creek. The new owners propose to
remove the existing home and construct a new home on the site. However, the footprint of the new
home (with respect to the riparian buffers) is not exactly the same as the existing home. Overall, there
will be less impact to the riparian buffers with the new home but there is an area of 259 square feet of
new impact where lawn currently exists today.
At this meeting, Jennifer recommended that we modify the footprint of the new house in order to avoid
any new impact in Zone 1 which would then make the construction eligible to approval under NC
Session Law 2012-200. The applicant (John Heidel from Homestead Building Company) has made that
change and now there are no new impacts to Zone 1 from the new construction. The net decrease in
impact to the riparian buffer is 625 square feet comparing the new house to the old house. We
understand from the Session Law (as confirmed by Jennifer) that compensatory buffer mitigation is not
required for this approval. Similarly, the builder has agreed to direct all gutters and downspouts to flow
in a diffuse matter to exit the house roofs out of the riparian buffer and then flow in a diffuse manner to
the stream across the level lawn. This is an improvement to the existing situation where stormwater
from the existing house flows directly into Zones 1 and 2. Therefore with the net reduction in buffer
impact and redirection of stormwater flow from the house, there should be a net reduction in pollutants
including nutrients entering the unnamed tributary and downstream Hare Snipe Creek.
Please advise if you or your staff have any questions. I can be reached at 919-522-6364 or via email at
[e-mail]. Thank you in advance for considering and processing this application.
Sincerely,
MOFFATT &OL

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of
this application:
Existing lot platted in 1973. House was constructed on lot soon after that date. House is partially within Zone 1
and Zone 2 of the riparian buffer. Lawn is present along about 70 feet of the riprap section of the channel with
a single line of trees present for an additional 30 feet. The remainder of the stream has a wooded buffer with
the exception of an open, mowed corridor down to the edge of the lake.
3b. Attach an 8 % x 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the USGS topographic map indicating the location
of the site
3c. Attach an 8'/ x 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the published County NRCS Soil Survey Map
depicting the project site
3d. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
345 linear feet
3e. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The new owners want to demolish the house and construct a new house on roughly (but not exactly) the
same footprint of the existing house. After construction, there would be 625 square feet of less impact to the
protected riparian buffers (415 less square feet of impact to Zone 1 and 210 square feet of less impact to
Zone 2). The new house would require some minor additional impact to Zone 2 (259 square feet) in order to
configure the house away from Zone 1. The house footprint has been adjusted to ensure that there is no
additional impact to Zone 1 which therefore makes the house construction approvable according to the NC
Session Law 2012-200. Areas within the buffer that are presently in the footprint of the existing house and that
are outside the footprint of the new house will be grassed and turned into lawn.
3f. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Existing house will be removed and new home constructed using typical residential construction equipment.

Stream is shown on the Wake County soil survey but not on the USGS topographic map. Stream rating (see
