Waiver Request for Lake Waldena Deck Construction

Original title: Lake Waldena Deck- Waiver Request to a Major Site Plan Parcel #: 32015-000-00 # WaiverSTA-000884-2026 Matthew Kenneth Cortes LDC 2.21.1.A(1) - Major Site Plan CODE states a Major Site Plan shall be submitted for review and approval prior to the issuance of a Building Permit or prior to the construction of site improvements when proposed improvements exceed any of the following thresholds (select all that are applicable): (1) Collectively, all existing and proposed impervious ground coverage equals or exceeds 35 percent of the gross site area or 9,000 square feet. APPLICANT respectfully requests a waiver from the Major Site Plan requirement under LDC Section 2.21.1.A(1) for the proposed 20' x 20' open, free-standing wood deck. The proposed work is limited to a minor accessory/common-area improvement at an existing resort property. The deck is open, non-habitable, not enclosed, not conditioned, and does not include plumbing, mechanical systems, new driveway access, utility expansion, or stormwater infrastructure. The proposed deck does not create a new use, does not increase occupancy in a manner requiring additional site infrastructure, does not generate additional driveway trips, and does not include a 24-inch stormwater discharge pipe or equivalent system. Because the scope is limited to a small open deck amenity and does not materially alter the existing site layout, drainage pattern, access, traffic, or utility demand, Applicant respectfully requests that DRC waive the requirement for a full Major Site Plan and allow the building permit review to proceed with the submitted building permit documents and any additional limited documentation County staff may require.
