RE: Proposed Hand Residence, 514 East Front Street, New Bern, NC
Dear Deborah:
Attached please find a preliminary site plan associated with the planned construction of a single
family residential dwelling on a presently vacant lot located at 514 East Front Street in New Bern,
North Carolina. Dr. William Hand, III is proposing to construct a residence on the property. The
configuration of the lot and a desire to retain existing mature vegetation on the property requires
that development occur within the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Areas. It is my understanding
that a request for a variance is needed in order to proceed with the construction within the Neuse
River Riparian Buffer Areas. As is delineated on the attached preliminary site plan, Dr. Hand is
proposing to construct a residence within a 3,600 square foot building footprint. Proposed
construction will occur within a portion of the zone 2 riparian buffer area only. No work will
occur within the zone 1 buffer area. The area within the zone 1 riparian buffer area to be
disturbed by this proposed construction is delineated on the preliminary site plan.
A concurrent submission has been made to the City of New Bern CAMA Permitting Officer for
the issuance of a CAMA Minor Development Permit for this proposed construction as well as the
construction of a timber pier and covered boat lift for this lot.
It is requested that you accept this letter, the attached site plan and other included information as
a formal request for a variance to construct the residence in the footprint designated on the
preliminary site plan. I have included with this submission a more specific project description and
water quality control initiatives that can be implemented as a part of the planned construction. I
have also included a portion of a 1999 aerial photograph showing the area. I will be glad to meet
you at the project site in order to review existing conditions and answer any questions that you
may have. I can also be reached by telephone at [phone] for additional information.
Your efforts regarding this matter are appreciated.

Project Description and Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Evaluation
Proposed Hand Residence
514 East Front Street
New Bern, North Carolina
Project Description
Dr. William Hand, III is proposing to construct a single-family residential dwelling on the
currently vacant lot located at 514 East Front Street. The residence will be designed to be
constructed within the 45'X 80' building footprint presented on the preliminary site plan. In
addition to the construction of a single-family residence, a wood pier/walkway and covered boat
shelter will be constructed along the eastern property line as presented on the preliminary site
plan. Detailed plans have not been prepared for the residence at this point in time; however, the
plans are being developed to maintain the residence within the 45' X 80' building footprint area.
Proposed Neuse Riparian Buffer Impact
The proposed project will include the disturbance of 2,425 square feet of zone 2 riparian buffer
area. No zone 1 riparian buffer area will be disturbed by the proposed construction. A total area
of 3,600 square feet of lot area located within the CAMA 75 foot area of environment concern
(AEC) will be disturbed by the proposed construction. A Minor CAMA Permit Application has
been submitted associated with the proposed activity.
Included on the preliminary site plan is a table summarizing the areas to be impacted by the
proposed construction.
Water Quality Issues
The subject property is currently vacant other than the existing concrete retaining walls and
dilapidated wood retaining walls that are present on the site as indicated on the preliminary site
plan. The development of a single-family residential dwelling on the subject property will result in
a concentration of runoff from the proposed structure. If this runoff were to enter the abutting
Neuse River without being diffused and filtered through a vegetated filter, then some impact
would occur to the surface waters. It is the owner's intent not to impact surface waters as a
result of the planned construction.
In an effort to not degrade the abutting surface waters, the owner of the project proposes to take
the following actions as a part of the development on the subject property. The following
initiatives are proposed:
All runoff from the impermeable surfaces proposed within the zone 2 riparian buffer area
will be collected and discharged to a vegetated area outside of the zone 1 and zone 2
areas.
2. Those areas immediately adjacent to the existing retaining walls will be regraded slightly
to cause the entrapment of surface waters behind the retaining wall. This regrading
activity will encourage an infiltration of surface water runoff through the soils immediately
adjacent to the retaining walls rather than allowing it to sheetflow over the top of the
retaining walls into the adjacent surface waters.
3. The entire zone 1 buffer area and remaining portion of the zone 2 riparian buffer area will
be maintained in a vegetated state as indicated on the preliminary site plan.
4. The existing mature specimen trees present on the subject property will be maintained as a
part of the proposed construction.
