The applicant, Darvel Hammond, representing Corey and Debra Decamp, is requesting to encroach into the required 100 foot lake-stream setback by approximately 82 feet on the west and 59 feet from the north in an effort to expand an existing deck.

The public hearing will be held on Thursday, June 3, 2010 beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Silver Springs Attendees:  Clay & Lucy Archer, Corey Decamp, contractor Darvel Hammond and associate, Bill Noland with Attorney Ted Barnes.

Sean Lewis presented a Power Point presentation outlining his reasons for denial of the variance and a sketch of the existing patio and the proposed deck.  (Lewis will provide these in the next few days for inclusion here.)

The deck will extend four feet beyond the present cement patio. The deck will extend the width of the back side of the house.
The deck will vary from the 100′ easement on the west side of the subject home from the inlet stream.
Utah Law establishes a 100′ set back from all water bodies but precedence has been set within Silver Springs and the area to allow shorter setbacks.  The home on Lot 57 is on the higher elevation side of the small pond (south side).  It was stated that the homes on the north side of the pond would sustain flooding long before the homes on the south side, and that the north and east outlet streams and gates were more than adequate to moderate the pond water level.  The Decamp lot easements (north and west) slope down to the water.

The DeCamp’s are not asking for infringement into the 20′ (+/-) enjoyment easement, they requested that the 100′ setback from the edge or center of the stream and pond be allowed a variance, similar to that enjoyed by the majority of the pond south shore neighbors. The approval was unanimous by the BOA board.

It was stated that the little pond was the property of the Silver Springs Master Association, transferred from Mountain Regional Water Special Service District a number of years ago (2004).  Lewis also reported that there exists a 20′ (+/-) exclusive private enjoyment around the perimeter of the pond for the use of the association members.  (Will ask him if this is true or is the perimeter easement , owned by the MA, a private easement for the contiguous homeowners only.)
