The total shoreline area of the project property is 9,574.96 ft. The total environmental area shoreline is 2,865.79ft. The total sum of buildable shoreline therefore is 6,709.17ft. The rights for this facility will be conveyed to: Gunpowder LLC 825 3rd Ave NW Hickory, NC 28601 Directions: Take highway 321 N from Hickory. Cross the bridge over the Catawba River, go approx. 3/4 mi. take a right on New Farm Rd., follow road into subdivision. The location of the proposed facility is shown on the attached map. The attached Registered Land Survey shows the proposed leased area, structure, and additional minimum clear distances surrounding the structures of twice the slip length on the side of boat ingress and egress, and 15 ft. from all other sides (distances are shown on corresponding drawings to each individual facility 1 -7). This facility will be used to serve the residents of Riverbend Properties Subdivision The marine facilities consist of seven (7) seperate boat docks to accommodate sixty seven (67) boats. The facilities are 118' long and 44' wide. One loading dock which consists of a pier 10 ft. long by 4 ft. wide, a ramp 12 ft long by 4 ft. wide, and a floating dock 14 ft. long by 12 ft. wide. Adjacent to the dock is a concrete marine ramp 45 ft. long by 16 ft. wide. The facilities will be constructed of galvanized steel framing, high quality treated materials, with encapsulated styrofoam used for flotation. See physical survey map, section thru drawings, and detailed layout drawings for facility dimensions. These facilities will be used for access to the lake for recreational use by the residents of the Riverbend Properties subdivision. The proposed construction is planned so as not to conflict with the natural, historic, and scenic values of the project. Concentratrion of the boat slips in a small area reduces the number of individual pier and boathouses. Proper waste disposal will be provided by a device that pumps sewage from the boats to an approved septic system on shore. No historic sites will be disturbed. The applicable sedimentation requirements will be enforced during construction. There will be no change in project operations due to the proposed construction of the facility. R There will be no adverse environmental effects should this proposal be implemented. The public interest will be served by providing ample access for residents of Riverbend Properties to Lake Hickory. A lease is being prepared by Duke Power between Duke Power Company and Gunpowder LLC. If any additional information is required, or if there are any questions, please contact me at the above address or telephone number. I am looking forward to any correspondence you see necessary to expedite this matter. Thank you for your cooperation.
