(Please attach a copy of the permit. If you cannot obtain a copy of the permit, please provide the name of the permittee, the project location, and the permit number) Requests are reviewed and determined by the chairman of the CRC to determine whether a hearing should be granted. 15A N.C.A.C. 07J .0301(b). Approval of a Third Parry Hearing Request allows a petitioner to file a contested case petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within twenty (20) days of receipt of the CRC's Order. N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b). Denial of a Third Party Hearing Request is a final agency decision which may be appealed to Superior Court under N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b) and Chapter 15013, Article 4. For this application to be complete, the Petitioner must address each of the three factors listed below. The CRC's chairman's decision to grant a hearing will be based on whether the Petitioner: (1) Has alleged that the decision is contrary to a statute or rule [N.C.G.S. § I I3A-121.1(b)(1)]; (Please cite the statute or regulation allegedly violated by the permit decision.) (2) Is directly affected by the decision [N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(2)]; and (Please describe how you are directly affected by the permit decision. Persons directly affected by a decision often include, but are not limited to, owners of real property in the vicinity of the proposed development who can show that it is likely to have a significant adverse effect on the value and enjoyment of their property, or persons who can demonstrate a history of substantial use of public resources in the area directly affected by the development.) (3) Has alleged facts or made legal arguments that demonstrate that the request for the hearing is not frivolous [N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1.(b)(3)]. (Summarize the evidence and arguments you would present at a hearing in support of your appeal explaining why the permit was improperly issued.) Please answer these questions on a separate piece of paper and attach it to this form. The Commission notes that there are some opinions of the State Bar which indicate that non -attorneys may not represent others at quasi-judicial proceedings such as this Third Party Hearing Request before the Commission. These opinions note that the practice of non -lawyer professionals, such as engineers, surveyors or contractors, representing others in quasi-judicial proceedings through written argument may be considered the practice of law. Before you proceed with this hearing request, you may wish to seek the advice of counsel before having a non -lawyer represent your interests through preparation of this Petition.

(b) Piers and docking facilities shall not extend beyond the established pier length along the same shoreline for similar use. This restriction shall not apply to piers and docking facilities 100 feet or less in length unless necessary to avoid interference with navigation or other uses of the waters by the public such as blocking established navigation routes or interfering with access to adjoining properties as determined by the Division of Coastal Management. The length of piers and docking facilities shall be measured from the waterward edge of any wetlands that border the water body. (c) Piers and docking facilities longer than 200 feet shall be permitted only if the proposed length gives access to deeper water at a rate of at least one foot at each 100 foot increment of pier length longer than 200 feet, or if the additional length is necessary to span some obstruction to navigation. Measurements to determine pier and docking facility lengths shall be made from the waterward edge of any coastal wetland vegetation that borders the water body. (d) Piers shall be no wider than six feet and shall be elevated at least three feet above any coastal wetland substrate as measured from the bottom of the decking. (e) The total square footage of shaded impact for docks and mooring facilities (excluding the pier) allowed shall be 8 square feet per linear foot of shoreline with a maximum of 800 square feet. In calculating the shaded impact, uncovered open water slips shall not be counted in the total. (f) The maximum size of any individual component of the docking facility authorized by this general permit shall not exceed 400 square feet. (g) Docking facilities shall not be constructed in a designated Primary Nursery Area with less than two feet of water at normal low water level or normal water level under the general permit set forth in this Section without prior approval from the Division of Marine Fisheries or the Wildlife Resources Commission. (h) Piers and docking facilities located over shellfish beds or submerged aquatic vegetation as defined by the Marine Fisheries Commission may be constructed without prior consultation from the Division of Marine Fisheries or the Wildlife Resources Commission if the following two conditions are met: (1) Water depth at the docking facility location is equal to or greater than two feet of water at normal low water level or normal water level; and (2) The pier and docking facility is located to minimize the area of submerged aquatic vegetation or shellfish beds under the structure as determined by the Division of Coastal Management. (i) Floating piers and floating docking facilities located in Primary Nursery Areas, over shellfish beds, or over submerged aquatic vegetation shall be allowed if the water depth between the bottom of the proposed structure and the substrate is at least 18 inches at normal low water level or normal water level. 0) Docking facilities shall have no more than six feet of any dimension extending over coastal wetlands and shall be elevated at least three feet above any coastal wetland substrate as measured from the bottom of the decking. (k) The width requirements established in Paragraph (d) of this Rule shall not apply to pier structures in existence on or before July 1, 2001 when structural modifications are needed to prevent or minimize storm damage. In these cases, pilings and cross bracing may be used to provide structural support as long as they do not extend more than two feet on either side of the principal structure. Thesemodifications shall not be used to expand the floor decking of platforms and piers. (1) Boathouses shall not exceed a combined total of 400 square feet and shall have sides extending no further than one-half the height of the walls as measured in a downward direction from the top wall plate or header and only covering the top half of the walls. Measurements of square footage shall be taken of the greatest exterior dimensions. Boathouses shall not be allowed on lots with less than 75 linear feet of shoreline. (m) The area enclosed by a boat lift shall not exceed 400 square feet. (n) Piers and docking facilities shall be single story. They may be roofed but shall not allow second story use. (o) Pier and docking facility alignments along federally maintained channels shall also meet Corps of Engineers regulations for construction pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403). (p) Piers and docking facilities shall in no case extend more than 1/4 the width of a natural water body, human - made canal, or basin. Measurements to determine widths of the water body, human -made canals, or basins shall be made from the waterward edge of any coastal wetland vegetation which borders the water body. The 1/4 length limitation shall not apply when the proposed pier and docking facility is located between longer structures within 200 feet of the applicant's property. However, the proposed pier and docking facility shall not be longer than the pier head line established by the adjacent piers and docking facilities nor longer than 1/3 the width of the water body. (q) Piers and docking facilities shall not interfere with the access to any riparian property, and shall have a minimum setback of 15 feet between any part of the pier and docking facility and the adjacent property lines extended into the water at the points that they intersect the shoreline. The minimum setbacks provided in this Paragraph may be waived by the written agreement of the adjacent riparian owner(s), or when two adjoining riparian owners are co -applicants. Should the adjacent property be sold. before construction of the pier commences, the applicant shall obtain a written agreement with the new owner waiving the minimum setback and submit it to the Division of Coastal Management prior to initiating any development of the pier or docking facility. The line of division of areas of riparian access shall be established by drawing a line along the channel or deep water in front of the property, then drawing a line perpendicular to the line of the channel so that it intersects with the shore at the point the upland property line meets the water's edge. Application of this Rule may be aided by reference to the diagram in Paragraph (t) of this Rule illustrating the Rule as applied to various shoreline configurations. Copies of the diagram may be obtained from the Division of Coastal Management website at http://www.nccoastahnanagement.net.When shoreline configuration is such that a perpendicular alignment cannot be achieved, the pier or docking facility shall be aligned to meet the intent of this Rule to the maximum extent practicable. (r) Piers and docking facilities shall provide docking space for no more than two boats, as defined in 15A NCAC 07M .0602(a), except when stored on a platform that has already been accounted for within the shading impacts condition of this general permit. Boats stored on floating or fixed platforms shall not count as docking spaces. (s) Applicants for authorization to construct a pier or docking facility shall provide notice of the permit application to the owner of any part of a shellfish franchise or lease over which the proposed pier or docking facility would extend. The applicant shall allow the lease holder the opportunity to mark a navigation route from the pier to the edge of the lease. (t) The diagram shown below illustrates various shoreline configurations: EXAMPLES RIPARIAN ACCESS AREAS PROJECT AREA Et)cE Ot CHANNEL OR 6 DEEP WATER PROPERTY LINE RIPARIAN LIMIT MEAN ! ICH WATER WATER (u) Shared piers or docking facilities shall be allowed, provided that in addition to complying with Paragraphs (a) through (t) of this Rule the following shall also apply: (1) The shared pier or docking facility shall be confined to two adjacent riparian property owners and the landward point of origination of the structure shall overlap the shared property line. (2) Shared piers and docking facilities shall be designed to provide docking space for no more than four boats. (3) The total square footage of shaded impact for docks and mooring facilities shall be calculated using Paragraph (e) of this Rule and in addition shall allow for combined shoreline of both properties. (4) The property owners of the shared pier shall not be required to obtain a 15-foot waiver from each other as described in Paragraph (q) of this Rule as is applies to the shared riparian line for any work associated with the shared pier, provided that the title owners of both properties have executed a shared pier agreement that has become a part of the permit file. (5) The construction of a second access pier or docking facility not associated with the shared pier shall not be authorized under the general permit set forth in this Section.

I would like to express my ongoing concerns to your office regarding issues surrounding this developments disregard to the health and safety of the creek. During development we watched countless tons of silt poor into the creek. We also save what appeared to be concrete dumped into the drainage ditches. The drainage in the subdivision continues to be a source of great concern. The drainage ditches are filled with silt and plant material. There is a section just before the intersection of Henderson Drive &t Salt Meadow Drive which appears to be some sort of temporary solution. The drainage ditch on the other side of the street is no better, maybe worse. When the developer began grading and putting in the paved roads silt poured into the creek. We reported this to your office as well as CAMA. We still have vrideo shoving the creek turning white from the silt. Even now, when there are heavy rails, silt continues to flow into the creek. Prior to the development of Salt Creek, we had a pair of breeding otters living in the creek. For six years we watched them raise their young, feed, and play in the creek. About the time the silt began flowing into the creek the otters disappeared. We didn't see them for ahnost two years. This spring, back in early March, they reappeared with two new pups. A welcome site indeed. There is also a pair of. Eagles who live and nest on the creels. They also seemed to disappear for a time. To this day we don't see them as frequently as we once did Our first concern is protecting the creek, and the wild life whose lives depend on the health, and wellbeing of the creels for their survival. Our other concerns are having our view obscured by a dock running over the top of the marsh, not to mention the gazebo. Based on what we've witnessed throughout the development of Salt Creek, we worry that their dock will extend out into the channel, therefore, blocking our access to Bogue Sound. We appreciate your consideration in this sensitive matter. Please feel free to contact me, Braxton Brooks, at the phone number listed above if you have questions or need additional information.
