9. PROJECT DESCRIM0
The project site is located adjacent to Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, at 1320 Airlie Rd., south of
the Wrightsville Beach drawbridge, in New Hanover County. The property was previously the site
of a wholesale/retail. fish market, where trawlers would unload their catches at the market docks. This
entire area of the waterway has been developed commercially. There are commercial marinas on both
sides, as well as, across the waterway from the project site. The applicant's property is approximately
65 feet wide and 100 feet in depth, from Airlie Rd. to the AIWW. On the property, there is an
existing metal building (25 ft. X 30 ft.), parking area, bulkheaded concrete dock area, and pier.
Although already in need of maintenance and repair, the concrete area, bulkhead, and pier were
severely damaged during last year's hurricanes. The applicant is currently in the process of repairing
the existing facilities to a usable condition.
The waters of the AIWW/Motts Channel are not designated by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries
as Primary Nursery in this location. The waters are classified SB by the NC Division of Water
Quality and are not open to shellfishing. New Hanover County classifies the area as Conservation
in their Land Use Plan.
The applicant proposes to remove the existing fixed dock and replace it with a floating dock. The
new dock would retain the "L" shape of the original structure, but it would be relocated to the center
of the property. The existing pier extends approximately 80 feet across the adjacent riparian corridor.
This relocation would move the applicant's docking facilities 30 feet to the northeast of it's present
location allowing better ingress and egress to the adjacent boat slips. The dock would be 96 feet long
and 8 feet wide, with the L-head, 89 feet long and 8 feet wide, parallel to the waterway. The
applicant proposes four (4) finger docks, 16 feet on center, on the southwest side of the main dock.
All would be 32 feet long, one 4 feet wide, and the others would be 3 feet wide. The applicant
intends to dock two work barges, mounted with cranes, on the waterward side of the L-head dock.
Other work boats and skiffs associated with his marine construction business would be moored in the
other slips. The applicant states that the docks would provide ten (10) slips.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The project would incorporate approximately 3880 square feet of Public Trust Area. However, much
of this area is currently utilized by use of the existing facilities. The size of the proposed structure
could allow for the dockage of more than 10 vessels if the use of the site should change in the future.
The mooring of the large work barge on the waterward side of the L-head, would place the moored
vessel significantly further into previously open water in this high traffic area.
