Variance Presentation Property Address: 1446 Rockcliff Rd. Case Number: C15-2023-0048 Presenter: Jon Fichter, Aqua Permits Second Hearing ITEM06/1-PRESENTATION 1446 Rockcliff Road ITEM06/2-PRESENTATION Seeking Variance From: LDC 25-2-1176 (A)(5)- The footprint of a dock, including the portion of a cut-in slip, attached access structures, or roof overhang, may not exceed: (a) 1,200 square feet for a dock that is accessory to a principal residential use. -For the permitting and construction of a new 1135 sq ft boat dock which amounts to 2235 sq ft in total To allow: ITEM06/3-PRESENTATION Reason for Seeking Variance The existing boat dock on the property is inaccessible due to vegetation and sedimentation accumulation in the narrow channel where it resides. Our client cannot use the existing boat dock or channel leading to the existing boat dock without subjecting their boat to running aground or hitting tree roots and damaging their boat in the process. ITEM06/4-PRESENTATION First Variance Hearing Recap: The BOA were amenable to the location/square footage of the proposed boat dock. However, more information was requested regarding the existing boat dock, its current use, and the pros/cons of removal vs. repurposing the structure. Important Items to consider: ● ● ● ● The existing dock, it’s permitting history, and its location on the property. The footprint of the dock over water vs. over land. The current (permitted) use of the dock as dry storage. The impact of removing the dock to the surrounding ecosystem. ITEM06/5-PRESENTATION 1446 Rockcliff Road ● ● Location of existing boat dock shown in blue Existing boat dock sits at the end of a 150 foot channel shown in red ITEM06/6-PRESENTATION 1446 Rockcliff Road ● ● ● ● The existing boat dock lies tucked away at the end of this channel. Navigating the channel is challenging with the natural boundaries; adding in years of sediment buildup coupled with the advancement of wetland environments has made it increasingly impassible. Additionally, the canopy of the trees along the channel poses a risk to harming the tree or the boat. These trees often drop branches into the channel as well. ITEM06/7-PRESENTATION 1446 Rockcliff Road ● ● ● ● The existing boat dock situated at the end of the channel Note the tree canopy overhanging the boat dock. Removal of the boat dock would pose disturbance to the canopy. The prior variance hearing for this property dealt primarily with the ecological effects of removing the boat dock. …
