Subject: On-site determination for applicability to the Zone 2 variance request for property at
104 Turquoise Creek Drive, Cary NC 27513
Ms. Higgins,
In continuation of the of the appeal we have hired a landscaping architecture, plan enclosed; to
redesign the plan for the yard to eliminate all Zone 1 impact mad limit Zone 2 impact to a
minimum while trying to accomplish the goal of remodeling that backyard to accommodate a
pool.
We have made significant changes to the plan to reduce the impact and ask for your
consideration to grant us a Zone 2 variance so we can continue the project. I would be more
than happy to meet with you to Revie the plan and answer any question or concerns you may
have.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Mike Maple

2c. Attach an Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Form for each structural BMP proposed.
E. Demonstration of Need for a Variance
The variance provision of the riparian buffer rules 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.
FORM: VAR 10-2013 Page 5 of 6

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).
(V�a_ 4,,P /UL.r2U,,4.^ .7* 1),?. i ;c; ,4" '2,0 Vii✓ vt- /hu" -v
3. 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.
4.
4. Explain whether the haoship was gaused by the applicant knowingly or unknowingly violating the applicole Buffer Rule.
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?
6. Explain how the hardship is rare or unique to the applica is property, rather than the result of conditions that are
