RE: Variance RequestRugby Hall Estates ~ P. 22240 Rugby RoadArnold, MD 21012Tax Account # 03-737-02912000

Sir or Madam,

Enclosed is a variance application package for the above referenced property. The applicant isrequesting a critical area variance to Article 18, Section 13-104(b) and a zoning variance toArticle 18, Section 4-501 in order to construct an attached addition...

Property Description

The subject property is located at 240 Rugby Road in the subdivision of Rugby Hall Estates inArnold. The parcel is irregularly shaped and contains 1. 17 acres in area and is zoned R-l. It islocated entirely within the LDA land use designation of the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area. Theproperty is improved with an existing single-family dwelling, patio, paved driveway, andassociated improvements. The existing dwelling is located in the flattest portion of the lot, and isbordered by steep slopes to the north, which encumber approximately 44% of the subject parcel.An existing stream that lies about 370-ft to the northeast, causes the need for an expanded'bufferto the slopes. The dwelling is served by public water and a private sewage disposal system. Theproperty is also impeded on by an existing storm drain and easement that cut through the easterncorner Primary vegetation consists of hardwood and evergreen trees, ornamental shrubs, creepingground cover common to sloped areas, as well as lawn area around the existing improvements.

Proposed Conditions

The property owners propose to construct a modest attached addition that consists of a garage,deck and porch atop an existing impervious patio and reconstruct the entry porch. The garageportion of the addition, requires both a critical area and a zoning variance, as its proposed locationis in the only viable portion of the property. The property, post construction will be at 2, 531-ftbelow allowable lot coverage, remaining in conformance.

Disturbance to the expanded buffer is unavoidable due to its proximity to the existingimprovements, and because portions of the existing driveway and septic system are located withinthe buffer. Thus, the proposed addition and renovation requires a variance to Article 18, Section13-104(b) to allow 1, 018 square feet of disturbance in the expanded buffer and to Article 18,Section 4-501 to construction of an addition within 25-feet of the front property line.

The impact on the environment is reduced as the scope of work is limited and should only requirea building permit. Sediment and erosion control measures and mitigation will be utilized inaccordance with permit requirements.

A pre-file site plan reviewed by Holly Simmons ai-id Joan Jenkins of the Department of Planningand Zoning, along with pre-file notes, dated September 6, 2019, are included with this variancesubmittal package.

We believe that this request meets all the requirements for variance, per Article 18-16-305

Requirements for Critical Area Variances.

1. Unique physical conditions - Specifically topography, the irregularly shaped lot, andthe location of the existing dwelling within the front setback and in close proximity tothe slopes and expanded buffer. Denial of the requested variance would constitute anunwarranted hardship on the applicant and deprive them of the right to redevelop, anddeny reasonable and significant use of the entire property.

2. Rights commonly enjoyed - The proposed improvements are similar and in characterwith those of surrounding properties. To deny the requested variance would deprivethe applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the area.

3. Will not confer special privilege - Granting this variance would not confer a specialprivilege to the applicant. Nearby properties enjoy improvements greater in scale towhat is proposed for this project. The applicants have made extensive efforts to designthis proposed project in a manner that considers surrounding environmental features.

4. Not based on conditions or circumstances that are the result of actions by the applicant- Conditions and circumstances are based on the irregular shape of the site, the presenceof steep slopes, and the proximity of the existing improvements to both the frontproperty line and expanded buffer to steep slopes, not because of actions by theapplicant. The applicants purchased the property in 2015. According to SDAT, theexisting dwelling was constructed in 1952 and is in need of updating.

5. Will not adversely affect water quality or adversely impact fish, wildlife, or planthabitat within the County's critical area - The proposed development will not causeadverse impacts to fish, wildlife, or water quality in the Critical Area. Disturbance isminimized only to what is necessary to complete the project. Mitigation will occur inaccordance with county regulations and will be addressed during the permittingprocess. Sediment and erosion controls will be utilized to ensure that construction andgrading will not adversely affect the surrounding environmental features located withinthe Critical Area. These precautions will ensure that water quality, fish, wildlife, andplant habitat will not be adversely affected.

Requirements for all variances.1. Minimum necessary - The improvements to the existing dwelling are minimal and are

sited to utilize the flat area of the rear yard to minimize grading.2. The granting of the variance will not:

i. alter the essential character of the neighborhood, and all proposed developmentwill be harmonious with other properties of the surrounding area.substantially impair the appropriate use or development of adjacent properties.reduce forest cover in the LDA. Forest cover will ultimately be increasedthrough appropriate mitigationbe contrary to acceptable clearing or replanting practices required fordevelopment of the Critical Area or Bog Protection Area.be detrimental to the public welfare
