I am opposed to the construction of such a ramp. After extensive consultations with Marine Engineers, CAMA Experts, and my own experience with the effects of storms on this shoreline, I am against this project. My reasons are as follows: • 100% of the experts I consulted confirmed the fact that such a ramp, or access, will not survive the first major storm, let alone a hurricane. • The "Water -Access" ramp is really a boat ramp. Given the ramp width, length, and construction description, a storm of any significance will destroy the integrity of the ramp. This will potentially leave large boulders as well as the gravel topping used in the ramp scattered all along the site of the boat ramp. These boulders will create a hazard for both swimmers and boaters, as well as an eyesore. • Due to the extreme shallowness of the water in this area, only very small boats, keel - less sailboats, and jet skis would be potential users. Neither of the two boat types could cause material damage, but the constant action of the wakes created by jet skis will serve to further aggravate the erosion of the shoreline. • The degradation of such a ramp will irreparably alter the natural ebb and flow of sand at this point. Lot #69 is particularly at risk for destruction of the sand barrier between the sound and the spring -fed pond and adjacent wetlands. In the last major storm prior to shoreline stabilization, Lot # 71 lost over fifty feet of lot depth, not to mention dozens of trees, shrubs and other vegetation which serve to stabilize the soil. • Since the shoreline stabilization project 2 years ago, running from lot #69 to #74?, the entire shoreline has not suffered any major deterioration. • Finally, should the applicant, the Sandy Point Homeowners Association, be granted a permit to construct such a boat ramp, I will expect written agreement from the Association to repair any and all property damage to lot #'s 69, 70, and 71, occurring after the beginning of construction on this boat ramp.

Signature Print or Ty?e Name Telephone Number Date: .0 . November 8, 2002 Matthew Peter Nolty 514 Sandy Point Drive Beaufort, NC 28516 Dear Mr. Nolty, N®I/ I v 2ec�, Although I have not yet received my copy of the Adjacent Riparian Property Statement, I did see the copy of a proposed drawing for a beach access. I will not support construction of the proposed beach access for a number of reasons. Please allow me to list just a few. Prior to purchasing lot 71 at Sandy Point, both Jerry Evans and Ed Mitchell of Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company described to me the "beach access" envisioned at the time of the development. We purchased lot 71 knowing full well that Weyerhaeuser had set aside funds for and had oral discussions about an access which was described to me as follows: o "A gradual leveling of the grade to allow access for very shallow draft vessels, (Hobie Cats, Sunfish, etc)". Weyerhaeuser proposed the placement of a small section of metal mesh similar to the type used by the military to stabilize an otherwise shifting and unstable surface upon which to move vehicles and facilitate access to the water for wheeled vehicles to load/unload boats, etc. 2. There is no disagreement that the access as described above was fully addressed, discussed and agreed to prior to the purchase of lot 71. In point of fact, there was specific written language in my purchase contract regarding both proximity to and direction of such a beach access adjacent to lot 71. As described, this access was to be used only casually, and only by property owners from Sandy Point and the Weyerhaeuser South River development. 3. Approximately 2-1/2 years ago, a very elaborate shoreline stabilization project was undertaken. Starting at the Shuping property (lot 69), and running sequentially up towards 78-80? (1 am not sure where the shoreline stabilization ends) the entire shoreline was stabilized. Beginning with lot 70, the shoreline was trenched to a depth of approximately three feet below the existing grade level. The entire shoreline trench was then lined with a special mesh fabric designed to prevent silt escapement, and loss of sand through wave action. Large granite boulders were trucked in from Rocky Mount, and were placed by a "cherry -picker" device to maximize interlocking and minimize the likelihood of shifting. Over time, the sand has come and gone somewhat since the shoreline stabilization. The heaviest loss has been principally on lot 69 and the adjacent portion of 70. However, from 71 upwards, there had been a very nice buildup of sand. r Some lots are enjoying the formation of mini -sand dunes created by wind- blown sand blowing up and over the stabilized shore. Numerous property owners have planted a native sea grass which has thrived nicely and has propagated very effectively over the past two years. 4. As sketched in your proposal, your plan appears to call for the following:., a. A "cutting through", "rounding over", removal, alteration or otherwise reducing the existing height of the present stabilized shoreline to gain access to the water b. Creation of some sort of a downward -sloping approach which would begin its down -slope ahead of the new "high point" (or low point, depending on definition) on the now -breeched previously - stabilized seawall. c. Removal, cutting through, destruction or degradation of the silt - mesh installed to prevent sand erosion behind/between and under the granite boulders to gain access to the beach. d. The removal of existing sea grasses and other native vegetation it the area which further serves to stabilize that area. e. Potential removal of indigenous living trees which would further negatively affect the soils held together by the root structure of these trees. 5. Here are just a few of my concerns regarding the construction of such a beach access (please refer to item #1 of this memo): I knew and accepted the "terms of the deal" for the purchase of lot 71, based on the oral commitments made to me and my wife by Ed Mitchell and Jerry Evans to prior purchase of lot 71. 6. In a hand -drawn sketch, you propose to breach the seawall adjacent to my now -stabilized and growing property, and install an access point for north- eastern driven windstorms to eat away at the most vulnerable section of both lot 71 as well as the property adjacent to me, lot 70. 7. 1 invested over $12,000 in the stabilization of the shoreline of lot #71 after the loss of over almost 100' of depth of my lot's sea frontage not to mention over 70 trees, following Hurricane Dennis. 8. In a recent article in Environment magazine, they point out a very relevant fact, "...economic analysis also revealed a strong relationship between good beach quality and the price of inland and waterfront properties. In the southeast United States, waterfront and inland property values are higher in communities with good beach conditions... If beach conditions deteriorate... property values decrease by as much as 20%. Protective armoring (shoreline stabilization) increases the value of waterfront property by about 25W 6, i `�11C`� 9. In a publication from UNESCO, they state, "Removing vegetation from the dunes destabilizes these protective sand barriers, resulting in increased soil and dirt particles being washed offshore. ...this is a key habitat for many species of crabs, fish, and seabirds, as well as for the smaller creatures that serve as food for these larger animals". The same article states that..."Since 1995, the Atlantic Basin, (including the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico) has entered a more active hurricane cycle, which may continue for more than 20 years." 10. The Heinz Center recently published an extensive article stating that "the effects of armoring (shoreline stabilization), generally last longer than other methods". 11. To summarize, I am strongly against the construction of any access that would breach the existing shoreline stabilization. I was at Sandy Point yesterday. In just the last northeaster, Weyerhaeuser lost almost all their sand and seagrass. I lost almost half of my sand, but more importantly, because of the wave and water action, ALL the shoreline boulders have actually sunk about two feet vertically into the sandbed, lowering the level of my shoreline, and making my property even more susceptible to overwash in the event of storms. Repeating earlier items above, I knew the construction of a simple beach access was a possibility. But, that access was to be built from the prior shoreline, and was never intended (according to my recollection and Weyerhaeuser's) to be built in such a method that would pose such serious threats. 12. In my opinion, if a pair of large seawalls parallel with and on each side of the proposed ramp, extending perpendicularly to the shoreline running out 100 to 150 feet from the shoreline, and 3-4 feet above mean high water, this might provide a measure of reassurance that further washing away my property could be avoided. I seriously doubt that Weyerhaeuser would pay for it, and I doubt CAMA would permit it. In discussing the proposed access with Weyerhaeuser officials several weeks ago, they suggested that in lieu of construction the access, the HOA take the money set aside for this access and use it to improve the entryway to Sandy Point-- an entry worthy of the beautiful area we will be calling our homes. The present entryway certainly does not reflect the quality of the area, and should be significantly improved. Using Weyerhaeuser's set -aside money, we can have an entryway we can all be proud of. I sincerely hope that you and the association can see this issue from my point of view. I hope you can appreciate the fact that I potentially could suffer irreparable loss of frontage due to an alteration to the existing stabilized shoreline. I also hope CAMA has the wisdom to disallow such a potentially damaging breach to occur. Sincerely, Michael S. Rose 13 Pier Pointe New Bern, NC 28562 Cc: Brad Shaver, CAMA Claude Wheatley, Esq.

E ■ ................... a ......... ■ ■ .......................... 0 ■ 1 After reviewing the proposed drawings and discussing the project with Mr. Brad Shavers of CAMA, we wish to express the following concerns: a) Mr. Shavers was very concerned with the stability of the water access ramp. He stated that a ramp extending into the Neuse River would be damaged or destroyed by the first major storm, thereby scattering rocks over the neighboring beaches. Additionally, these scattered rocks would create underwater hazards to bathers and boats. b) There was also a discussion on the feasibility of the sand building up on one side of the ramp and eroding on the other side. On Lot #69, CAMA will not allow for rocks to be laid over the existing bank in order to stabilize the bank. This is due to the 404 wetlands that are just behind the already heavily eroded beach. Construction of this ramp could further jeopardize an already precarious condition. c) If the homeowners wish to proceed with this project we would request an assurance in writing that the homeowners association restore the adjoining beaches on lot #69 and #71 or any other beach front property that may be affected to their original state prior to construction. We would also request in writing what measures would be taken to repair the ramp after storms.

Rest assured that the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) has reviewed your concerns and have worked with the applicants to ensure that the proposed project is in compliance with the pertinent rules of the Coastal Resources Commission. After much discussion, a lot of project modifications, and many specific conditions being attached, the DCM issued CAMA General Permit #34548-C to the HOA authorizing the proposed access ramp. Enclosed you will find a copy of the permit with specific conditions. If you wish to appeal this permit decision, you may file a request with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management, Ms. Donna Moffitt, Department of Environment and Natural Resources within 20 days of the permit decision. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please don't hesitate to contact me at my Morehead City Office (252-808-2808). Sincerely, M.

Rose" <674661 @cox.net> To: "Brad Shaver" <brad. shaver@ncmail. net> Brad, two questions for you, please: • Do you/your office have jurisdiction in New Bern area? • What's involved if I want to pull out a short piling, and replace it with a longer piling in the exact same place? (On my slip in one of those little creeks off the Trent River) Thanks for doing the job on the boat access at Sandy Point. I think it will work out fine. 1 of 1 8/26/03 9:19 AM NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Coastal Management Michael F. Easley, Governor Donna D. Moffitt, Director William G. Ross Jr., Secretary November 17, 2003 Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company c/o Mr. Doug Hylton 800 Potomac Drive Chocowinity, NC 27817 Subject: Access Ramp on Lot# 70 Sandy Point Subdivision Carteret County Dear Mr. Hylton: This letter serves as confirmation that the water access point on Lot #70 Sandy Point Subdivision has been installed within the limits of the issued general permit. General Permit# 34548 was issued for a water access ramp on 7/15/03. The project was completed shortly after permit issuance and this office has confirmed the finished access point is compliant with General Permit # 34548. The project site was visited shortly after Hurricane Isabel to assess the damage from the storm. A portion of the smaller rock used to fill gaps in the ramp had been displaced, a result of the storm surge. The Sandy Point HOA is aware that the rock can be replaced within the footprint of the original permit without requiring an additional permit from this Division. I hope this correspondence satisfies your role with this particular project. If you have any additional questions concerning this or other matters, please don't hesitate to give me a call at my office (252) 808-2808.
