4 The applicant is seeking a variance to permit a primary structure with less average front yard setback than required Article (1) The average front yard setback from the two adjacent property owners is 86 25', we are requesting a variance down to 71 4' to allow the proposed home and deck, but still allow for sufficient area for the Step and Gravity Septic tank in the rear yard [or street side) We are requesting a variance of 1 15 feet to the average front yard setback for the primary structure and a variance of 14 85' feet to the average front yard setback for the proposed pervious 3 story deck We feel this is the minimum relief given the fact that the adjacent home on lot 23 is so close to the roadway and if it were to be reconstructed the home would be setback closer to the water similar to this one, currently shown to provide the appropriate setbacks to the new mayo system The closest point of the house is 85 1' from the waters edge the adjacent home to the northwest on Lot 20 is only 59 8', the adjacent home on Lot is 84 8', and the Home on lots is only 43 4' We feel the house is of modest size for the neighbor hood and seemingly in line with the adjacent homes Therefore, we feel we have maximized the distance from the water's edge to the proposed home and deck The variance the applicant is seeking is to permit disturbance to Steep Slopes of 15% or greater in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area, LDA, (Article (b)) The proposed site plan indicates 822 square feet of Slopes of 15% or greater onsite, with a total disturbance of 822 square feet of disturbance to Slopes of 15% or greater The entire frontage along the roadway is encumbered by 15% slopes or greater, the site cannot be accessed without disturbing the steep slopes The proposed home has been pushed back to allow for 2 offstreet parking and the Step and Gravity Tank We feel this relief is minimal and is necessary to construct the proposed home, driveway and sidewalk Please note the site can not be accessed with out relief to disturbance to the steep slopes The applicant is seeking a variance to permit a primary structure to have less rear yard setback than required (Article ) The required setback from the rear property line is 25' we are requesting a variance down to 23 1' to allow the proposed home to move further from shoreline, but still allow for sufficient area for the Step and Gravity Septic tank We are requesting a variance of 1 9' feet to the rear setback for the primary structure We feel this is the minimum relief necessary to maximize the distance to the shoreline The applicant is seeking a variance to permit mooring piles with less setback than required [Article [b)) The required setback from the mooring piles to the extended property line is 15' we are requesting a variance down to 3' to allow the owner to have one boat slip, we also ask that a boat lift be permitted using these two piles We are requesting a variance of 12' feet to the setback for the mooring piles We feel this is the minimum relief necessary to allow this property owner the same use of the water front and pier as the other owners in this community Please note that the proposed pier will be constructed in the setbacks but due to the narrow width of the lot [40') there is not sufficient area to provide mooring piles to tie to, we also feel that these mooring piles will not have a negative impact on the adjacent piers or access to their slips / piers Calculations for critical area clearing and lot coverage are provided on the site plan

5 Five copies of the Critical Area report prepared by Development Facilitators, Inc are included with this application We respectfully submit that this legally buildable lot would not be able to be developed without the relief requested Thank you for your consideration of this request and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if you require any additional information Sincerely, Development Facilitators, Inc Candice Bateman Project Manager
