Analysis Background The Two Rivers RV Park historically has been recognized as a Recreational Vehicle Park and Campground. On Jdne 22, 1972 the Board of Supervisors approved Use Permit application U-72-357 for an 11 unit Recreational Vehicle Park. On November 25, 1980 the Board of Supervisors approved Use Permit application U-80-55 to expand the-existing Recreational Vehicle Park to permit 95 campsites, campground, and a boat ramp launch. On August 28, 1980 the Board of Zoning Adjustment approved Use Permit application U-80-55 to expand an existing 95-space Recreational Vehicle Park by adding 33 Recreational Vehicle_spaces, a manager's residence, a pool/spa, restroom facilities, and a Recreational Vehicle sanitation station. Flood Variance Findings For a Flood Variance-=application to be approved, five findings must be made in the affirmative. The applicant is requesting that the Flood Variance be granted based upon the ability to make all five findings. The applicant submitted findings for the application, below is a discussion and analysis of the findings: Finding One: There is good and sufficient cause for the flood variance. Applicant's Statement: "The use-at this site currently has a well on site, which has been in existence for over thirty years. This well will be destroyed to local and state standards once the new well has been roved for use a�a drinking water supply b Environmental Health Dept If the variance is not app g pp Y Y p granted, then the existing tenants and market would have to relocate, as the existing well is vulnerable to bacteria, life threatening pathogens and other surface water contaminants." This finding can be made because there is no other location, outside of the floodway,where the well can be placed;;. The existing well has been appraised and found to be beyond repair by two local pump companies so a new well must be installed. Additionally, the Environmental Health Department(EHD)..inspected the condition of the Two Rivers RV Park Water System drinking- water well on Octoer 6, 2009. The casing of the well was found to be severely deteriorated. The EMD immediately issued an Unsafe Water Alert Order,to prevent a water borne microbial disease out break. The Order requires the owner to notify all users of the water system to boil the well water for one mince before drinking or preparing food. The owner provided the notification to the users while EHD was at the site. The EHD also issued an Inspection Report to the owner requiring him to repair or replace the well to State and County standards immediately. Finding Two Failure<to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant_. Applicant's Statement:. "Yes, this site is a source of retirement income for the property owner and is the home site for the owner and several tenants without a replacement well there would not be any source for potable water on this parcel." This finding can be;made because by failing to grant the variance, the Recreational Vehicle Park and Campground would not have a water source that meets Public Health standards, and the owner who lives on the site would not have a potable drinking water supply. Finding Three: The flood variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense create nuisances, cause fraud or victimization of the public,or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.
