DURHAM County Attorney Thank you for your recent inquiry concerning property in unincorporated Martin County.

The property has the following future land use designation(s) as found on the Martin County Future Land Use Map: Mobile Home. TELEPHONE WEB ADDRESS The property has the following zoning district designation(s) as found on the Martin County Zoning Atlas: RT. The RT zoning District requires a twenty (20) foot front setback (on Rattlesnake Run) and a 6 foot setback for the rear and side property lines. The property is subject to a Preserve Area Management Plan (PAMP) implemented in August of 2004 (enclosed). An environmental Waiver (enclosed) was approved along with the PAMP and has specific requirements regarding construction of a house, driveway and sidewalks and a septic system. As stated in the waiver letter any deviation to the approved waiver would require further review and approval. The following information is based on the specific questions in your request. 1. Modular homes are permitted on the property. Please see the attached definitions for Mobile and Modular homes and the skirting requirements for dwellings with a crawl space. The attached waiver shows a home in a specific location. Any other location must be farther away from the wetland buffer. A larger house must extend away from (to the west) the wetland buffer. A larger house must not further encroach into the wetland buffer. 2. The RT Zoning District only permits structures to be one story or 20 feet in height. 1 of 33 gmd2016l346.docx
