Secreet Special Permit SP-07-16

A modification to the following project: A Special Permit to reduce the streamside management area to allow for the construction of a single family residence (approx. 2600 sq. ft.) and a workshop (approx. 1600 sq. ft.). A small unnamed tributary to the Van Duzen River bisects the parcels. The workshop will be within 29 feet of an ephemeral stretch of the tributary, and the homesite will be within 75 feet of the perennial stretch. Standard setbacks are 50 and 100 feet respectively. A voluntary notice of merger is also proposed to result in one approximately 2.08 acre parcel. Approximately 15 Douglas fir trees are proposed to be removed. Minimal grading is required. The Modification involves the construction of a foot bridge built across the tributary on the parcel. The bridge has already been constructed but was not included with the original permit. The water well was ultimately drilled in a different location than previously intended and the footbridge became necessary to carry water lines from one side of the creek to the other. There was very little ground disturbance when placing the bridge. All ground clearing was done with hand tools and no major grading was required. No additional trees were removed.
