If I am correctly reading and interpreting the information on the depth survey, and at the "tightest point" to 3 feet NLW, this 60.81 foot dimension allows minimal 'room for error' when two boats of 10-12 foot beams meet to pass in that area OR when 3 or more boats attempt to navigate that narrow que. Weather (including wind and waves) and 'current' add elements that can create unpredictable and dangerous outcomes relative to passing boats without sufficient passage room. Not all 'captains' of boats are safety minded or conscious; and, therefore, allowing for plenty of room for passage is most important. Planning for the worst and hoping for the best is demanded and appropriate in this situation. As stated in my earlier comments, parallel parking/docking/dockage was utilized in the area at Issue by the prior owners and inhabitants, and it seemingly worked in an acceptable fashion. However, and even so, there were times when it was a tight fit for boats to navigate this channel depending on the number and/or size of boats involved in the passage. Please note our objection to the currently proposed installation plan for docks 13-18 associated with the above project. Thank you. William C.

Thank You for your attention in this matter. Craig Frey Crow's Nest Yacht Club 252-726-4048 I CAMA PERMIT 123-18 Greg and Roy: Several of our Board members met with Sammy Ballou, and Robert Jackson this past Friday, August 28th at Crows. Nest Yacht Club to discuss the Windfare Townhomes, LLC project. During this meeting, they shared copies of hydrographic maps which had been prepared by Stroud Engineering and TI Coastal showing the depth and width of the channel serving Crow's Nest Yacht Club and, the surround, properties on Moonlight Bay. After discussing the concerns of all parties present, we were able to resolve these concerns and come to an amenable solution that benefits all parties. Crows Nest Yacht Club, Inc. concurs with the following summary a portion of which was previously submitted to you from Robert H. Jackson. SUMMARY 1. The Crows Nest Board supports the Project and the Permit as submitted. 2. Windfare Townhomes, LLC has agreed to install 3 temporary PVC pipes with green tape on the top to mark the eastern edge of the channel across from their it 6 proposed piers to better assist boaters in the appropriate navigation of the same. Also, Windfare Townhomes has agreed to ask DCM to help guide us in how best to permit three permanent channel markers .in the same location to accomplish the same purpose. Roy Brownlow had some guidance on this process and as such Windfare will begin a new permitting process, in the next 30 days or sooner to select, permit, purchase, and install these new channel markers at the sole expense of Windfare. Windfare intends to copy Crows Nest on these submittals and their progress. 3. Windfare Townhome LLC and Crows Nest agreed to equally share in the costs and efforts to formally request a dredging permit from DCM in order that either party or any party finds it is necessary to. dredge the same channel. The intent is that, a valid permit would remain in place for perpetuity available to any party to orchestrate dredging within the conditions, of that future permit. Both parties will work in good faith to submit that new permit request to DCM within the next 30 calendar days. It is the understanding of both parties that once obtained DCM has a 5 year renewal process that allows for the permit to be renewed and hence would not expire if that process was followed accordingly. Roy Brownlow (and I am sure Greg Bodnar as well) had verbally offered their guidance to assist both parties on the various permits and processes to achieve this goal. We did discuss the various options available to both parties and the Community on how best to fund the expenses of a future dredging if that is desired. Although we did not arrive at a conclusion, we are hopeful the Town will consider adding this channel to their dredging efforts they undertake currently given the importance of this a waterway and the -tax base derived from the Community. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact us. Respectfully submitted, Crow's Nest Yacht Club Board of Directors CY-g .

My wife and I have owned a house at 215 Smith Street, Atlantic Beach for 20 years and use that channel several time each weekend. I don't believe the channel is wide enough, at this point, to accommodate two boats passing if the piers encroach 30' to 34' into the channel. The old piers that were there were built parallel to the seawall and at low tide you could barely pass another boat then. I think allowing these piers to be built perpendicular to the seawall are going to be a great danger. Kirby L.

I think it a very telling story for how close that the proposed docks will be located to the channel. In speaking from experience in which I have a vessel that, when on the boat lift, sticks out an additional 5' from the end of the dock. I assume this situation will be possible for the proposed docks and if so, it would cause the safety of traveling through the channel to be compromised. I am surprised to see that this proposal is quite different from the pre-existing docks that were in place prior to demolition. With my experience from the CAMA and building codes in the costal area, it usually seems that rebuilding according to prior structures is acceptable, but further enhancement involving expansion creates many challenges with permitting. With the additional bulkhead space that was incorporated with this new subdivision, now we have a proposal for an extended dock structure coming quite close to the existing channel. I would not like to complain about the proposal without offering an alternative option... which would be to allow a docking structure similar to the previous structure that was in place prior to demo. This seemed to not compromise the safety of the channel travel.

The proposed construction of the Windfare dock system at the narrowest portion of the entrance seems to be ill conceived and potentially dangerous. Although the dock system is proposed to be 30' from the bulkhead into the channel larger boats will be docked there intruding further into the channel. There is no enforcement of this encroachment so it will continue unabated forcing boats further east into the shallows where oyster rocks and other debris are bound to cause damage. Boats operating at no wake speeds have limited steering and this will create unsafe situations especially in hazardous conditions. The Cullipher Group, PA is aware that the photographic overlay does not align with the GIS survey so we do not know with any certainty where the eastern shallows lie in relation to the proposed docks at mean low water. Previous owners/tenants opted for side tie parallel to the bulkhead. This is a very nice development and the owners will enjoy one of the best views on the island but I believe the docks should have been proposed and vetted prior to construction. I would urge caution moving forward since the property was approved/marketed and constructed without docks. Thank you. Donald Fader Donald E.

I own a slip there, so they sent out an email to owners with concern about the reach of the proposed docks. After looking at the proposal, I have a couple of questions. 1. Has a hydraulic cross section of the channel where the narrowest waterway is shown been done? I know they can use ''/. of the waterway for proposed docks, but it's always been fairly well known that you have to stay as close to the sea wall on the side where the proposed docks are planned to make sure you don't bottom out at low tide, and I don't have a very big boat. 2.Has the definition of the opposite side of the channel been confirmed? If you look at the narrowest portion of the channel on google maps, you can see where it appears to be a shoal area considerably closer to the sea wall than the line that's shown on the map, and I was just wondering if that line shown is accurate and or agreed upon? The reason there is concern in this area is because the lifts and docks that were there prior to the new construction were much narrower than the proposed dock and lift locations, and at low tide it was always a little tricky getting past those lifts, this new proposal would push you out quite a bit further, and may actually make the channel non -navigable at low tide to many of the boats that use this bay. It would be nice to see a section thru the narrower sections shown near the dock that shows 210.16' one at the section shown as 163.27' and one thru the section shown as 147.56' those are likely the ones that are going to be a problem. I believe we will see a channel that's not deepest at the center of the waterway, and possibly close to the end of the proposed lifts. Sincerely, -Greg Gregory K. Atkins, P.E. E.L.

I have my boat down that channel and it is very difficult to pass a boat coming in the other direction. The water gets very shallow across from the proposed docks so you have to hug the side where the docks are proposed. If you put 30 foot docks there it will be very dangerous to try and navigate that channel with traffic in both directions Either put the docks parallel to the sea wall as they were previously or have the owners dredge and maintain 30 feet on the other side to keep the channel as safe as it is now Don't allow them to extend the docks 30 feet into the channel unless the channel is extended.

TO: Heather M. Styron Division of Coastal Management Michelle Eitner Atlantic Beach Planning Dept.

I am an owner of dry stack storage units located at the Crow's Nest Yacht Club. This proposal is simply unacceptable for myself, tenants renting my slips and the other dock owners within the entire bay. The proposal does not take into account boats docked. An 8 to 9 foot beamed boat on the proposed docks will make the channel impassible at low tide. Do the developers intend on dredging at their cost? To be sure there is an alternate proposal that is more suitable and accommodating to all the owners of dock space within the canal/bay and owners of slips and dry stacks at Crows Nest Marina. Could you please provide the alternate design if one exist or explain what the reasoning is that the developers feel they can block the entire channel?

On behalf of the nearly 240 members who own the Crows Nest club property and maintain their vessels at the Crows Nest Marina, we submit this objection to the Application for Major Modification of CAMA Major Permit 123-18 for the Windfare Docks. Crows Nest Marina is located on a triangular piece of land between Atlantic Beach Causeway and Old Causeway Road. The marina has waterfront access to public trust waters at Moonlight Bay which connects to a canal and channel leading to Bogue Sound. The members of Crows Nest can access Bogue Sound only through the public trust waters of the channel located to the east of the Windfare property running south into Moonlight Bay through a small canal. This natural channel is narrow at low tide because it is flanked on the eastern side by a large sandbar and marsh area that is not navigable. The channel contiguous to Windfare is the only means of ingress and egress and thus is of high value to the public and members of Crows Nest for navigation from Moonlight Bay to Bogue Sound. Historically, the Windfare property was the old Channel Bay Mobile Home Park which had limited docking that ran parallel to the bulkhead and channel. The deepest waters in the channel are closest to the bulkhead, but parallel docking did not obstruct Crows Nest ASHEVILLE GREENVILLE NEW BERN RALEIGH WILMIlNGTf www.wardandsmith.com �1 `G�•C� 'LO.�� OG� DocuSign Envelope ID: 5E9080C2-536B-470D-825A-B9AA3310B445 WARDANDSMrMP.A. Mr. Gregg Bodner August 6, 2020 Page 2 members' ingress and egress from Moonlight Bay. For over 40 years, Crows Nest members have navigated in and out of the channel without obstruction. On June 10, 2020, The Cullipher Group, PA, applied for modification of CAMA Major Permit 123-18 on behalf of Windfare Condominiums, LLC. The design submitted proposes nine docking facilities with 18 individual boat slips. Six of those docking facilities containing 12 individual boat slips are arranged perpendicular to the bulkhead on the eastern side of the property along the channel; the remaining three docking facilities are to the north in Bogue Sound. The six eastern docks encroach into the channel in such a way they will render current access in and out of Moonlight Bay to Crows Nest Marina through the channel largely impassible for many boats that belong to Crowns Nest members. Further, during low tide, the channel near Windfare not only is at its lowest, but the width of the channel shrinks, eliminating space necessary for safe navigation. Concerns arise especially during low tide with larger vessels transiting inbound and outbound. Therefore, although the proposed facilities may comply with an academic application of the Division's dock and pier rule 15A NCAC 7H .0208(b)(6)(G)(known as the one-fourth rule), the length will unreasonably interfere with navigation, and the rights of access to public trust waters of the members of Crows Nest will be greatly impaired. We request that portion of the design for the east side dock facilities as proposed be denied for unreasonable interference with use of public trust areas and impairing safe navigation through public trust waters.

Styronancdenr.gov Cc: Craig<generalmanager(cDcrowsnestyachtclub.com> Dear Heather, Ft�G��vVD p4a1 oOM MNO c\�� I am writing to object to the proposal of installing docks at the Windfard Condo project. I just found out about this yesterday for the first time and the proposal is shocking. I am an owner, and have been for approximately 10 years, of a Slip and Lift at Crows Nest Yacht Club. I cannot imagine a dock(s) being allowed / permitted to extend out into a small narrow channel where it will potentially block quite a bit of boating traffic. The boating traffic I am referring to has been utilizing this channel for years. Depending on the hour / day / month, I believe Crows Nest may splash between 150 to 300 boats per day. This traffic is in addition to the traffic from folks at Crows Nest with Wet Slips. In addition to this, we have Restaurants with boat traffic coming in and out. We also have many nice folks owning houses with docks and boats on and around Moonlight Bay. There is a lot of boat traffic related to all of this. How can all of this existing traffic pass through the already narrow natural channel to get out and back in with docks in the channel? So, this new developer wants to potentially block at least 1/3 of the narrow channel potentially causing a mess!! Doesn't feel quite right does it?? In my opinion, the overall width of the channel is not the biggest issue but it is the SHALLOW WATER DEPTH over approximately 1/3 the width of the channel. On the right side (marsh side) of the channel, it is not very deep. I have a 26 foot center console and I have hit bottom (from medium to low tide) on the right 1/3 of this narrow channel while making room for another boat entering the narrow passage from the opposite direction. If the docks are put in as proposed, and the channel remains the same, the channel will not be passable for 2 medium to larger boats to get through this area safely..... without either colliding or running aground. So in summary, I would like to file my objection for this developer to put in dock(s) sticking out into the channel, taking over 1/3 (all deeper water) of this narrow channel, and causing a mess.

I am writing to express my opposition — and alarm — at the proposal for putting docks in the waterway at the Winfare Condo project. My family and I have owned slips and kept boats at Crow's Nest Yacht Club since the Club was formed. We use the channel from Moonlight Bay to the Sound constantly. It is a very busy channel. On summer weekends in particular, it is common to have lines of boats moving through that channel in opposite directions at the same time. We were quite surprised to learn that Winfare is attempting to put docks out into the channel. The channel is narrow at low tide as is, and the prospect of reducing the channel by 30' is hard to imagine. Now throw condo -owner boats coming in and out of their slips into a too -narrow channel, and I think you've created a real mess. More important than the "mess", however, is the obvious safety concern. Allowing those docks to be built would be a dangerous, irreversible mistake. Safe, open waterways may be Atlantic Beach's most valuable asset. Please help us preserve that. Randy Adams Randall R.

Davis, Director Division of Coastal Management, 400 Commerce Avenue, Morehead City, N.C.18557 RE: CAMA Maior Modification Request - #123-18, proposal to add docks to the Windfare Development Dear Mr. Davis We have had a home on Moonlight Bay for 50 years and have thoroughly enjoyed Moonlight Bay and its easy access to Bogue Sound and outside waters. Therefore, we have major concerns regarding the proposed dock plans for the Windfare Townhomes Development now under construction —this land formerly housed a trailer park. In fact, this is a major concern for anyone who boats into Moonlight Bay, either as a property owner, renter, visitor, just boating, or utilizing the services at the Crows's Nest Marina: As you know, the Windfare Development is located at the Moonlight Bay channel connecting our Bay to Bogue Sound. The advertised site information states that "each canal front unit will convey with 15,000 lb. lift to accommodate a 25' vessel. " The site plan indicates 12 of these lifts. Additionally we understand that the developer of Windfare, the Cullipher Group, has no intensions to widen nor dredge the Moonlight Bay channel. We also believe that the channel survey information originally submitted to the Town and CAMA is inaccurate, thus misleading. As we all are aware, this natural channel is very narrow as is, and if the permit is granted by CAMA, ingress and egress will become extremely restricted to all boat traffic. While we are sure that the required notification practice was adhered to, I assure you that there are many property owners and boaters who are not aware of how these proposed lifts will affect this natural channel and will be very unhappy and upset. We as property owners and boaters using this channel are in major opposition to this request! Sincerely, Richard.a*i&Katherbrt& Lees 919.612.4134 cc: Mr. Gregg Bodnar- Grego. hodnarCa ncdenr.gov.

Davis, Director Division of Coastal Management 400 Commerce Avenue Morehead City, NC 28552 Dear Sir: Please allow me to respectfully disagree with the proposed design for the expansion of docks at Windfare Condominiums, LLC. To the best of my knowledge this design significantly expands upon the previous docks encroachment of the waterway. I am not opposed to a replacement of the docks provided they do not extend any further into the waterway than the previous structures. The wall has already been replaced beyond the previous wall. I have flounder gigged for 20 years along this waterway next to the marsh and I am very familiar with what the depths are at low tide. The working channel cannot afford to be reduced. The "Approximate Opposing Shoreline" noted on the submittal is misleading. May I suggest that the available 4' depth at low tide of the existing waterway be surveyed and indicated on the map.

I am a charter captain leaving from Casey Wagners property Coldwell Bankers in Moonlite Bay. I have kept my boat on a lift since 2003 I am very familiar with the small natural channel leaving Moonlite bay to the sound. Before the last hurricane, when the trailer park was on the corner there were a few boats docked parallel to the bulkhead This barely allowed enough water between the boats to the shallow water extending from the marsh island across the channel for two boats to pass in opposite direction. There is a lot of boat traffic in this channel during the summer crows nest marina is at the end of the bay and sells gas I also have concern with boats leaving and returning during dark or low light conditions with the piers sticking out 30 ft into the channel. I would ask you to carefully inspect this situation. Possible place a sample pier into the channel to visually see my concern.

As requested I will outline my concerns to the construction of the new boat docks as proposed and why I am objecting to the issue of a permit of the current proposed request. I have owned slips at the Crows Nest yacht club for approximately 20 years. I purchased the slips for personal use as well as for investment purposes. When I began using the existing channel 20 years ago I was told where the deep water channel was located and I always traveled out from Crows Nest to Bogue Sound hugging the western side of the canal as that was where the deep water natural channel was located. Twenty years later the channel has basically remained the same with very little change. At that time boats were permitted to park parallel to the existing seawall with limited intrusion to the channel. This provided boaters use of the deeper water and provided safe two way traffic on higher tides although in lower tides boat traffic would come in closer proximity to each other as the water to the east side of the channel in certain areas next to the natural marsh was limited because of the shallow depths. Since the removal of the trailers and boats I find myself travelling closer to the seawall than I did in the past because I have an inboard boat and draw three feet and have no obstructions of docks or boats extending off of the seawall . Twenty years ago, I as well as others did not have the electronics to tell us the depth of water. Today I use my GPS that gives me the depths of the water and therefore I find myself closer to the seawall to give me the greater margins. 1 feel the proposed location of the new docks will be utilizing a large portion of the natural channel and restricting access to the natural channel for the following reasons : 1- At Crows Nest you have approximately 240 boats that are affected. 2- You have approximately 50 boats docked around Moonlight Bay. 3- Basically you are considering to allow twelve (12) boats to affect and restrict the free use of the natural deep water channel to all property owners of Moonlight Bay and Crows Nest and other transient boaters who use these waters. 4- Crows Nest Yacht Club sells fuel to many of the boats on the east side of Atlantic Beach Causeway as we are a convenient location and they have easy and basically unobstructed and uncongested access to our facility. 5- 1 object that the LLC printed information and sold condos stating they would be provided boat slips with boat lifts when permits had not even been applied for. I and Crows Nest manager contacted both Town of Atlantic Beach(Michelle) and Cama(Heather) in October 2019 and January 2020 and was told no requests had t been made by both individuals. No notification was submitted in the original permits which would have given property owners ample time to discuss options and possible solutions. 6- The Town of Atlantic Beach needs to provide and maintain adequate channel markings for both the channel in Bogue Sound and the entrance to Moonlight Bay as they have done in the past. 7- If the proposed docks extend 30 Feet off of the seawall the boat traffic will not be just restricted 30 feet. Most boats purchased today are 26 to 32 feet in length. However these boats generally have a bracket extending off the stern and then twin outboard engines. The final length of the boat could be as much as 35 feet. Then the boat will probably be at least a foot off or two off of the seawall for safe docking giving you a total of 36 feet or more off of the seawall. Boaters travelling the canal will need to be a minimum of 5 to 10 feet off the stern of the boats on the lifts for safe passage because of wind and currents. You are ultimately looking at restricting the deep water area a minimum of 40 to 45 feet. This would restrict the use of the natural deep water channel greatly. On low tides and currently with two way traffic as well as boats coming off or docking on the lifts this will create a congestion issue with potentially unsafe situations and possible grounding issues for the boat traffic. 8- If you consider two- way boat traffic during peak times on the weekend you are adding additional encroachment to the deeper water. Average boat widths are 9 to 11 feet and a safe distance between boats are a minimum of 10 feet apart. Therefore you have added 30 feet more to the already 40 to 45 feet off of the seawall. At falling tides you now have now pushed boats a minimum of 70 feet off of the seawall. Many boats I feel will have depth issues for safe unrestrictive use of the canal. 9- 1 feel that these lifts or some of the lifts could be added to the proposed 50 foot docks on Bogue Sound by redesigning and configuring the proposed docks. There are lifts available today that allow boats to parallel park as was permitted by the original permit for the trailers along the sewall. 10- Finally I feel that all of the property owners of Moonlight Bay and Crows Nest should have been properly and individually notified in writing of the proposed docks and not just notifying the property owners on each side of the project as was done by Cama's rules. This is a situation where you are affecting the property and right's and water usage of approximately 300 individuals to safely use the existing channel and not just property owners on each side of the development. My question is why create a potential problem today for the existing boat owners who bought and own property for the proposed twelve slips.

Additionally, I have stayed and fished out of Moonlight Bay for more than 30 years total, so I am very familiar with the area and its boating issues. The Moonlight bay channel is our only access to the ICW and beyond. Over the years both the size of the boats and the amount of boat traffic entering and exiting the channel have increase exponentially. At low tide this can making a simple passing of two large boats difficult just with the existing structures on the west side of the channel and the oyster beds on the other. It is my understanding that The Windfare Development Group has requested a modification of their existing construction permit (CAMA Major Modification Request #123-18) to extend docks well out into Moonlight Bay channel. This request is in total disregard for the safety of the many boaters that use Moonlight bay and will create a serious hazard to navigation. The channel will be almost unnavigable at low tide unless major dredging is done to expand the channel itself and will require perpetual maintenance in the future. This required expansion of the channel will also trigger environmental issues concerning the existing small island with its oyster beds and fish habitat. Windfare has ample space to build docks for all of their units on the north wall of their property and not create major navigation problems for current and future boating traffic using the Moonlight Bay channel. However, their only concern is based solely on greed and for any extra profits they can generate for their company. One of the main reason for the CAMA permitting process is to protect the public from unscrupulous individuals who place their own private interests above the rest of the citizens who have the right to use the resource. Allowing this modification will create an hazardous environment that will most certainly lead to boating accidents in the future. 2 If you or any of your staff would like to observe the heavy boat traffic on the weekends, I'm sure several of us would be willing to make a dock available to you. Also, if you would like to discuss this with me further, please contact me at this email address. Bodnar, Gregg From: Styron, Heather M.

We have just learned today of the above proposal relative to dockage for Windfare Condos. As property owners at 209 Smith Street since about 1991, we are familiar with the historical dockage configuration utilized by previous inhabitants of the property at issue. The previous parallel dockage was "workable" and seemingly safe at the various tide levels considering the available but limited channel width in that area. Dockage perpendicular to the existing sea wall as proposed will inject problems, issues, and challenges to navigation of an already confined que with attendant safety concerns. Additionally, even as proposed, the dimensions of the dockage would not be an exact or definitive boundary for usage as 'lifted' boats will probably extend past the outer water end of the lifts injecting structure further into and toward the limited navigable portion of this channel. Also, docking, even temporarily, could occur at the end of the proposed docks, further consuming and depleting available navigable waters. In sum, we are opposed to the proposal for perpendicular dockage configurations. Please register our concerns and objections with the appropriate agencies and personnel for consideration in this process. Thank you. W. C.

I have viewed the proposal and cannot see how approving this as/is would not create a safety hazard for the many boaters that use the Moonlight thoroughfare as a routine route. The current channel is within 20' of the existing seawall, and at low tide, there is barely enough room for a single incoming and a single outgoing vessel to pass at a safe distance. If there is a perpendicular dock system installed, there will be very limited room for a single vessel to pass, and unknowing vessels existing Moonlight Bay could easily run around on the shoal to the east. As the owner of a 31' vessel, it is already a nerve-racking venture to exit the bay and with the addition of this proposed docking, it would certainly seem that safety will be compromised. Additionally, there are many vessels much larger than mine that pass through on a routine basis and I believe there will be many issues arise if this permit is approved per the plan. I have already written the Atlantic Beach planning department with the same concerns as I feel that approving the system as drawn greatly increases the opportunity for accidents in the very narrow channel which currently exists.

I was recently informed of a permit application to CAMA by Windfare to build multiple new docks along the existing channel into Moonlight Bay. While I have no objection to the Windfare condo development and buildings, I was forwarded a PDF of the plan sheet showing the buildings and the future dock build out. After reviewing the schematic done by "The Cullipher Group P.A." I do have concerns regarding the application to build the docks as part of the development. In particular, the 6 docks shown located in the channel that is used to get back into the bay. I am well familiar with that channel. I have had a boat at the Crows Nest Marina for 12 years and have seen that channel evolve and change during that time, including changes in depth throughout that section of the channel. There is no doubt that the channel will continue to change and it's not realistic to think it will stay as it is shown on the permit application. My concerns come from the anticipated impacts and possible restrictions to navigation and current existing uses of Estuarine and Public Trust Waters as a result of the building of the 6 docks within the channel. If you are not familiar with the channel, it is not very wide or deep for boat traffic, especially at low tide. The deepest part of the channel is found along the Windfare seawall side. By putting in 6 docks - with each dock jutting out 30ft, the development is taking away the deepest and most navigable part of the channel and are forcing boats further out into the oyster reefs of the small "island". If the docks are installed as shown, at mid and low tide, it is unlikely two boats passing in the channel will be able to navigate safely thru this section of the waterway. To avoid each other, it is likely that one boat will have to hug the docks, increasing the likelihood of running into the docks or boats moored there and the other will have to hug the shore line of the small island. Any boats traffic passing closer to the island increases the likelihood of damaging the oyster reef habitat surrounding the island and of course the potential damage to their boat. Is CAMA going to require the developer mitigate for oyster reef habitat damage as a result of the dock development, because realistically, damage to the oyster reefs is inevitable as a result of their docks and the small channel. Also, although the plan sheet shows the docks impacts extend out 30ft, 1 would think it's possible the impacts could extend past 30ft due to boat motor mounts and motors sticking out into the channel, shrinking the navigable channel even more. Additionally, is there anything that says the owners can't moor a boat over 30ft long on the docks. It's not that unreasonable to think some of those owners may have boats in the 35- 40ft range. I would also like to know if the developer came to CAMA ahead of the development to work with you all in developing this plan for the docks or did they just assume they'd apply for the permit and get it? Fora project this visible, I would think there would have been some discussion between CAMA and the city of Atlantic Beach about what was allowable here before the developer started construction and some type of reasonable project sequencing taken place to account for this navigable issue. As I mentioned, I'm not opposed to the development, I think overall it's a positive to the city of Atlantic Beach. However, based on the submitted plan sheet for the permit and my familiarity with the navigable areas of that channel - I tend to believe that the proposed build out of the docks as shown, are unnecessary and unacceptable and will lead to restrictive uses of navigable waters held in public trust by the state of North Carolina and as a result, a CAMA permit should not be issued for this use.

The channel in question is narrow to begin with and adding docks perpendicular to the seawall will dramatically reduce the current width and navigable channel, almost certainly making this channel one-way traffic. Based on what I've read thus far, I cannot imagine docks sticking out this far in this location with the shallow oyster beds on the side of the channel and how boats will be able to get through here safely with tides. This channel serves many residents, marina customers and restaurants patrons. The previous docks in this location were parallel to the seawall still crowded the area but we are very worried about the dangers for recreational boaters associated with the proposed plans. Our family owns a property in Moonlight Bay on Smith Street and we frequently use the area with our boat. The other entrance to this area is too shallow for most boats to navigate.

Send all suspicious email as an attachment to v ...., To: Gregg Bodnar Assistant Major Permit Coordinator NC Division of Coastal Management 400 Commerce Ave. Morehead City, NC 28557 Mr. Bodnar, This corresponded is concerning the Windfare Condominiums, LLC project located in Atlantic Beach close to the Moonlight Bay area and their request to extend piers at their condo project. This project has bought the old dwellings adjacent to the channel into Moonlight Bay and has rebuilt the old bulkhead fronting their project. From what I have heard their proposal is to extend 9 piers with 18 boat lifts with them to be installed perpendicular from the rebuilt bulkhead extending into the channel coming into Moonlight Bay from Bogue Sound. I would like to go on record as opposing this proposal. I have owned a dwelling inside this area for over 11 years and use this channel for boating egress into Bogue Sound. This channel is already narrow and a lot of boating traffic uses this channel for ingress and egress into the Moonlight Bay area. This channel serves multiple private residences that have existing boat access, a boating marinas and several businesses in this area. 1 can count about 75 private residences plus about 50 boats using the marina and all the boats stored in the Crows Nest boat storage yard using this channel for access to the Bogue Sound intercoastal waterway. My understanding of the proposal is to extend these new piers and or boatlifts about 30' to 34' into the already narrow channel Extending piers further into the channel will greatly reduce the usable navigable width and use of this highly used channel. It could make it dangerous for vessels meeting in the channel if the width is decreased. The old piers and boatlifts associated with the previous owners were installed parallel to the old bulkhead for this reason as not to cause issues with boating traffic. New piers could cause sand buildup around the pilings of these new piers causing a reduction in the depth and usable width of this channel as shown by the attached photos of the piers on the north side of this area. Please consider all the above when reviewing this proposal and thanks for your consideration and please disapprove this request.

The advertised site information states that "each canal front unit will convey with 15,000 lb. lift to accommodate a 25' vessel." The site plan indicates 12 of these lifts. Additionally we understand that the developer of Windfare, the Cullipher Group, has no intensions to widen nor dredge the Moonlight Bay channel 161e also believe that the channel survey information originally submitted to the Town and CAMA inaccurate, thus misleading. As we all are aware, this natural channel is very narrow as is, and if the permit is granted by CAMA, mgres% and. egress will become extremely restricted to all boat traffic. (-U Iyu` V'19 1YlLRy� y While we are sure that the required notification practice was adhered to, I assure you that there are many property owners and boaters who are not aware of how these proposed lifts will affect this natural channel and will be very unhappy and upset. We as property owners and boaters using this channel are in major opposition to this request!

From: KIRBY MARSHBURN <kirbymarshburn@bellsouth.net> Sent: Monday, August 17, 2020 3:17 PM To: Bodnar, Gregg <gregg.bodnar@ncdenr.gov> Subject: [External] Windfare Town Homes Atlantic Beach Mr. Bodnar I would like to strongly express my concern about the developers request to modify the permit for the piers and boat lifts on Moonlight Bay Channel. As I understand they are requesting to run the piers perpendicular to the bulk head instead of parallel as they were first permitted. I know that looking at the aerials it appears there is plenty of room to do this and still have adequate width for 2 boats to pass in the channel. I run that channel several times each weekend and I know that on low tide that is not possible if they encroach 35' into the channel. I will be glad to meet with you and take you through there on my boat to show you my concerns if you would like. Please reconsider denying their request to change the permit.
