RE: Resource Ordinance Variance-#VAR2002-00010,Donald D ontet-applicant.
Dear Marc:
The above-referenced variance is required for an after-the-fact permit for a carport constructed in 1999. At
that time,the carport was consistent with County regulations for setbacks from streams. However, nD
permits were obtained subsequent to completion of the carport. The property was sold and the new owner
is being required to obtain all necessary permits to bring the parcel into compliance. He must confoi m to
existing regulations,therefore,he must obtain a Variance for the carpo .
The enclosed documents satisfy the requirements for a Habitat Management Plan(HMP)per the M on
County Resource Ordinance. Per the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areat
chapter of the RO(specifically Section G. 1. e),a Variance is required for construction within 115' f a
Type IV stream. The Variance application must be accompanied by a abitat Management Plan.
Obviously,this HMP is minimal because of the unusual nature of the application. The attached letter from
Steve Shanewise of the Coot Company addresses the existing buffer arl d makes some recommendati ns for
enhancement.
Please review the enclosed documents and let me know if you have co ments,question,or concerns about
this plan. I can adopt your comments as conditions into any approval the County may grant. I have
included my e-mail address if you find this method of correspondence more convenient. Our ordinance
allows for a 28-day comment period. Closing date for comments is May 1,2002. Thank you for your
consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
