9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project area is located on Hewletts Creek, off Greenville Loop Road and Leeward Lane, in New
Hanover County, NC. The applicant is developing a new subdivision called Joshua's Landing . The 5.03
acre tract is approximately 210 feet wide on the creek and 1100 feet in depth. The property was originally
a large tract with a single home site. The applicant has purchased the property, removed the old house and
subdivided the tract into ten (10) lots. The highground consists of the grassed yard area and garden plot for
the original home, with scattered Live Oaks through the tract. A paved access road has been constructed
which terminates in a cul-de-sac, approximately 300 feet from the creek. There is a common easement
between the two waterfront lots and along the shoreline to allow water access for the inland property owners.
Along the shoreline there is a border of Smooth Cordgrass S artina alterniflora) approximately 80-120 feet
wide. As this inter-tidal marsh transitions to uplands, other coastal wetland species include: Black Needle-
rush Juncus roemarianus), Salt Meadow Grass S artina patens , and Sawgrass (Clad ium jamaicense).
Marsh-Elder and Wax Myrtle shrubs complete the transition to upland plant species. Waterward of the
vegetated coastal wetland border, there are extensive mud flats, marsh islands, and oyster rock.
The Hewletts Creek tidal basin is approximately 900 feet wide in the project area. The channel on the
project's side of the creek is approximately 80 - 90 feet wide, and is located approximately 200 feet
waterward of mean high water (MHW). The NC Division of Water Quality's water classification for
Hewletts Creek is SA. This part of Hewletts Creek is closed to shellfish harvest. Hewletts Creek is a
designated primary nursery area (PNA), by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries.
The applicant proposes to construct three (3) piers to provide water/boating access to the new subdivision's
property owners. As stated in the narrative, three small piers are proposed to try and maintain the single-
family residential character of the area. The piers would extend from the common water access easement.
The three piers would be 130 feet, 154 feet, and 161.5 feet long by 5 feet in width. The two outside piers
would have a 36 feet by 5 feet floating dock, perpendicular to pier, with four mooring pilings waterward
creating three boat slips per pier. The center pier would have the same arrangement, but with a 45 feet by
5 feet floating dock, and five waterward pilings to complete the remaining four boat slips.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed community dock would incorporate 2925 square feet of public trust area and estaurine waters.
The construction of three piers, rather than one would increase the impacts to the marsh, both at installation
and potential shading impacts of the walkways. The project would provide water access for the ten lot
owners.
Submitted by: E.F. Brooks Date: 10/6/97 Office: Wilmington
Recommendations for State Permit - Joshua's Landing Owners Association
The applicant has already constructed two of the three piers proposed in this application by obtaining Pier
Exemptions from the local permit officer. DCM staff was alerted of the project by neighbors and stopped
the applicant's work. The applicant stated that he had read the exempt pier rules and had assumed that he
qualified for the exemptions since he had no more than four slips per pier and they were, by his
interpretation, private piers. The applicant was apprised of our definition of a community pier and hence,
filed the above application. He has stated that should he not receive the requested permit, the piers will be
used by the riparian lot owners for their personal use. However, the subdivision lots are still being marketed
as lots with boat slips.
Irrespective of whether the applicant made a pointed attempt to skirt our regulations, or whether he
innocently misunderstood the rules, the proposed project appears consistent with our current regulations for
piers. The use of three piers triples the installation and shading impacts of the facility, but would still be
within existing standards for individual piers. Still for a community application, a single pier access to the
floating docks could be required. I recommend applicable standard pier conditions be included in any permit
issued for the project. Further, since the project area is a PNA, a condition stating that there shall be no
dredging associated with this facility, now or at any time in the future should also be included.
