This letter of refinement is in reference to the 11/13/2017 correspondence email with
attachments from you as authorized agent for Town of Swansboro [herein described as "The
Town"], requesting a modification of Major CAMA Permit No. 112-05 issued to the Town on
09/06/2005. Permit No. 112-05 was modified in August 2017 to include construction of a pier
access, gazebo and dock platform to replace the previously existing pier access and platform on
Town property located at Bicentennial Park on the White Oak River in Swansboro, Onslow
County, North Carolina.
The modification request is to enlarge the 16' x 20' pier access and 21' x 75' dock platform
to accommodate engineered pre -cast decking that will provide greater public safety and ADA
building code standards. Your request as authorized agent for the Town to enlarge the previously
approved pier access to 18' x 22' and the pier platform to 23' x 77' on workplans stamped
"RECEIVED" dated 11/13/2017 is hereby authorized. All permit conditions still apply and remain
unchanged. Please append this letter to the permit file to document authorization to proceed
with the aforementioned proposal.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please
feel free to contact me or Ryan Davenport in the Morehead City District Office.
Sincerely,
Roy Brownlow

Re: Major Permit 112-05
Town of Swansboro
Dear Roy:
Major CAMA permit 112-05 was originally issued to the Town of Swansboro on September 6, 2005 for
construction of Phase I of the Town's Dock Walk along the White Oak River. The permit has been modified several
times to further extend the Dock Walk and make other improvements to Bicentennial Park. It was most recently
modified in August 2017 to include construction of a pedestrian/fishing pier to replace a previously existing pier at
Bicentennial Park.
The Town is requesting authorization to slightly increase the platform sizes of the recently permitted pier and
associated gazebo. No dimension will be increased more than two feet, as shown on the enclosed drawing.
In order to protect public safety and welfare the pier must be constructed of decking that is engineered to ADA and
building code standards. The small increase in size of the structure will allow the Town to use standard sizes of
appropriately engineered pre -cast concrete decking and avoid the additional cost of custom sections.
The increase in size will not place the structure within the established channel. A hydrographic survey showing the
channel and associated aerial photograph are also enclosed. The survey and photograph were both prepared by
Lanier Surveying Company as part of a previous permit request.
Thank you for your assistance. Please let me know if you have questions or need additional information. The agent
letter authorizing me to represent the Town in this matter is enclosed.
Best Regards,
Kathy B. Vinson, AICP
