9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The property is a 20.47-acre tract of land located on the north side of Harker's Island, at
401 Bayview Drive. The site consists of 10.6 acres of upland adjacent to Eastmouth Bay,
and 9.9 acres of wetlands and canal system within the bay. The north side of Harker's
Island is riddled with mosquito ditching, and this property is no exception. There are 4
unimproved mosquito ditches on the north east side of the property, and the main ditch to the
west that was improved to create a boat basin and canal prior to the onset of the CAMA in
1978. Several canals in this same area were likewise expanded during the years preceding
the CAMA.
The property line to the west is located in the center of a
less improved ditch. The north side of the tract is primarily
vegetated with SSpartina alterniflora along the ditches, for a
width of approximately 800'. Peninsulas created from the
spoil of the original canal excavation line both sides of the
canal. A narrow fringe of Section 404 Wetlands lines the
peninsulas and the south side of
the mosquito ditches. Landward
of this fringe, there are areas of
high coastal marsh that do not contain soils sufficient to be
designated as Section 404 wetlands, and yet do interact
with the waters of the bay. The remainder of the property is
upland, cleared, and previously disturbed.
The upland portion of the tract
averages + 5' msl, and is
vegetated with common grasses. As stated above, the basin,
canal, and residence were developed prior to 1978. The 1978
aerial photograph shows 15 trailers located on the peninsula area
around the basin. According to the records, the basin and canal
were dug in anticipation of a federa 1 project to be located within
Eastmouth Bay. This project never came about. By the 1984
photography, most of the trailers were no longer present. The
1989 photography shows the
of othtioateolo the bekte UmstrudibM
facility, and in fact there is a vessel
under construction shown on the
photo. The 1995 photography shows
this operation continuing, and what
appears to be the same vessel under
construction. By the 2000
photograph, and continuing to the
present, the commercial ventures are
abandoned, and the single residence and relic concrete pads from the previous businesses are
all that remain.
