No comments. (per Ray Gilleland, Lieutenant Sherriff). Soil & Water Conservation Review: I have no issues with this request. (per Tammi Remsburg, Resource Conservation Coordinator) Cabarrus Health Alliance: The Health Alliance prefers that a variance be granted due to the existing septic system. If the house is moved back it will encroach on the system and the systems will no longer be usable. A recent visit was made on 4/6/2021, at the request of the owner to see if the system could be expanded into a three bedroom, but it was determined that the soil is of poor quality and so that expansion was denied. Knowing that, if the house were to be moved then it is unlikely that there would be any suitable areas for the system to be replaced. (Chrystal Swinger, Cabarrus Health Alliance) Zoning Review: See staff report (per Phillip Collins, Sr. Planner) History / Other Information The subject property is currently zoned LDRand has been used for residential purposes in the past. The subject property is approximately 1.71 acres in size. Miami Church Road is not listed on the Cabarrus-Rowan Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (CRMPO) Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). Therefore, the facility is not anticipated to be widened within the foreseeable future. The applicants are requesting 45feet of relief from the front setback requirement for LDR to locate the new home approximately 30 feet from the existing edge of the right-of-way. It is the applicant’s contention that the size of the lot, the existing topography and the location of the existing septic system are all related to why the request for the variance is needed. o The application states that if the residence is shifted backwards to meet the 75- foot setback, it would be over the existing septic lines. o The application states that if the housewere moved back behind the septic lines that there is a twenty-foot drop off at the rear of the lot. o The application further states that the house cannot be turned sideways because of the detached garage on the property and an existing right of way prevents the house from being built anywhere other than the previous site. The applicants wish to build a small residential dwelling in the same location as the previous residence, which the application states was there for almost 100 years.
