Dear Mr. Sullivan,
Regency Park Estates, 105 Symphony Court (Lot 9), Cary, Wake County
This letter is to inform you that the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has completed its review of your
request for a vested right determination for the subject property from the Neuse River Buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233). The plat for Phase 1 of Regency Park Estates (which includes 105 Symphony Court, Lot 9), was recorded
in 1989, which is prior to the effective date of the Neuse Buffer Rules (July 22, 1997). Also, on October 25, 1989,
the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR) issued a Wastewater Collection Permit
(No. WQ0002432) to the Town of Cary. This Wastewater Collection Permit was to serve the Regency Park Estates,
which includes 105 Symphony Court. Although the Pieper's purchased the property on or about June 10, 2002, their
information indicates that they paid the fair market value for a residential lot and acted in good faith to acquire a
buildable residential lot as previously platted and approved. This letter replaces the previous vested rights letter
from DWQ dated August 28, 2008.
The vested rights requirements have been met by the Piepers and the requirements of the Neuse River
Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233) are hereby waived for Mr. Chris Pieper and for any subsequent owners of 105
Symphony Court provided the lot remains residential.
This letter only addresses the applicability of 15A NCAC 2B .0233 to the subject property and is not an
opinion as to whether or not the current proposal is within the conditions of any existing 404 Certification issued by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or a 401 Certification issued by DWQ. In addition, you should obtain or
otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project
including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, and Non-discharge regulations.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this office can be of any assistance or if you have
additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact Amy Chapman at (919) 715-6823.
Sincerely,
1
