MEMORANDUM
TO: George Matthis ��,,,, �\
FROM: George H. Wood rd'�
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SCOTT COTTRELL
DATE: February 19, 1987
This file represents a unique problem; to achieve a fair pier alignment which
would not interfer with the adjacent riparian property owner's right to free
navigation and yet not result in an unfair alignment for the applicant. A review
of aerial photography reveals that the adjacent property owners pier
- was approximately 40 feet long on 26 March 1982.
- is approximately 200 feet long on 16 December 1984.
I can find no authorization for this pier which was constructed within 15 feet
of the applicant's property line and is now used by several small boats. This
information is more historical since there is no impending enforcement action
and the pier has been in place for at least a year. However, this information
does has relevance in understanding the potential impact on the subject proposal.
In judging the appropriateness of the request, I feel that we should authorize
the pier as proposed with some minor refinements. This pier will be fifteen feet
from the adjacent property lines and should result in an approximately 25 foot
navigational area between the existing pier and the proposed pier which should be
sufficient for maneuvering the small boats which use the existing pier. The
parallel dock to the shoreline will come within 15 feet of the adjacent property
line and should be modified.
Therefore. I recommend issuance of the permit subject to the following
conditions:
(1) This pier in association with the other piers on the property constitutes a
marina and therefore shall post a notice prohibiting the discharge of any
waste from boat toilets and explaining the availability of information on
local pump -out services,
(2) The pier will not interfer with the access to any riparian property by insuring
that any part of the pier or attendant structures will be set back 15 feet
from the adjacent property owner's areas of riparian access. The dock parallel
to the shoreline must also be set back 15 feet from the adjacent property line.

Re: Scott Cottrell Pier Permit
Ocracoke NC
Lear Mr. Hines:
I have received. another certified notice from Mr.
Cottrell of his revised pier application.
Please refer to my letter of November 14, 1986 and
the suggestion I mace for his pier location.
I have enclosed a copy of the notice from Mr. Cottrell.
Please note that he does not have a scale drawing and he has
not shown the distance between the proposed pier and my pier.
I have attached my revised scale drawing that was
enclosed with my letter of November 14. 1 will. make this
as Exhibit "A", revised December 31, 1986. Please notes that
Mr. Cottrell is proposing another structure in what should
be Highway 12 right-of-way.
Again Mr. Cottrell inches his way into possession and
use of property at the inconvenience of others.
Last fall, The Department of Natural Resources and
Community Development sent a letter to the propery owners
at Ocracoke NC asking for their help in maintaining the
open view to Silver Lake. This request apparently was
ignored by Mr. Cottrell with his proposed 12'x36' building
and 8 ft. deck parallel to the bulkhead.
I feel that my suggestion of 45 feet between the piers
would be useful to all and provide clearance for a safe
water way between the boats tied to the pier.
N�

I thank you again for your help in making Silver
Lake a safe and pleasurable place for those who use it.
Sincerely,
nc

December 17, 1986
Mr. George Wood
NRCD
Elizabeth City, North Carolina
Dear George:
Regarding our telephone conversation today concerning locating my pier more
than 15' from riparian water line due to objection of adjoining property owner,
Mr. Rose.
Mr. Rose bought a 22' piece of property that had a 30, long pier on it and
sufficient space to dock a boat without encroaching upon his neighbors. Then
he got a pier permit to repair his pier and added 170 feet to it. He never
bothered to notify either of the adjoining property owners of his intentions as
required by law.
Mr. Rose then asked NRCD for permission to fill the land beside the pier and
build a ramp. NRCD told him he couldn't fill it; he did it anyway and NRCD
looked the other way. As you know, the fill is still there today.
Then Mr. Rose decided to make a commercial pier out of his private pier and
today rents out space to 6 boats. Here again - use changed without NRCD
approval.
Now Mr. Rose says I should be required to move my pier over more so he will
have enough room for his operations, never mind that they may infringe upon his
neighbors riparian rights.
When I see how successful Mr. Rose has been at acheiving what he wants largely
by ignoring the permit process, I have to wonder what I am doing trying to
follow the rules and regulations. It certainly puts me at a disadvantage by
trying to work within the system.
The reason I put my pier as far that way as the law says I can is to have a
nice little boat basin, with slips, on the opposite side; that certainly will
not bother Mr. Rose.
The shoreline is straight along that side so there are no pie slices: Every
property owner has a straight rectangular slice of water, which makes it very
clear what each property owner is entitled to use.
Mr. Rose could have built his pier on one side of his property and then he
would have had adequate room on the other side for whatever he wanted to do,
but not him - put it right in the middle and encroach upon both of his
neighbors. If you want to get an earfull, just ask the adjoining property
owner on the other side, Mrs. Myra Wahab, what she thinks of Mr. Rose and his
pier.
The law says Mr. Rose has reparian rights to 22' - - not 30' or 409, and if he
wants use of more, then he should buy it like the rest of us have had to do
instead of ,lust trying to "annex" it.

SCOTT COTTRELL
BID REPORT
PAGE 2
SITE DESCRIPTION:
The applicant owns two parcels of land on Silver Lake in Ocracoke. One of the
lots supports the Anchorage Inn and two commercial piers with waterfront improvements
which were authorized under CAMA permit #52-80 and have been constructed. The adjacent
piece of property is the subject of this request. This piece currently supports a -
house on the western side of N.C. #12 which is serviced by a septic tank and drainfield.
On the eastern (or Silver Lake) side of N.C. #12, the shoreline has been bulkheaded
under general permit #1411-A. The shallow waters of Silver Lake extend up to a narrow
and sparse fringe of Juncus roemerianus in front of the bulkhead.
The applicant proposes to construct a retail and gift shop at the edge of the
bulkhead. This building will not constitute covering more than 30% of the AEC with
impervious surfaces. .Also proposed is the construction of a dock parallel to the
bulkhead which will be 97 feet long by 8 feet wide. A six foot wide commercial dock
with finger, piers will extend 185 feet into Silver Lake with a 30 foot X 6 foot "T".
This pier can accommodate seven commercial fishing boats.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The construction of the pier will result in some elevated turbidity levels which
should be temporary and localized. The number of boats which this project can accommo-
date would not constitute a marina under CAMA guidelines, however, this project in
conjunction with the existing piers for Anchorage Inn would allow more than 10 boats
to be moored in this area.
CAMA REVIEW:
This project site is classified as developed in the Hyde County LUP.

Dear Mr. Cottrell:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application
for state approval for development of your property located at Ocracoke on Silver Lake
in Hyde County, N.C. It was received on November 19, 1986 and appears to be adequate
for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is February
2, 1987. An additional 75 day review period may be necessary and if so, you will be
advised of the extension and the new deadline.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location
of the proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" post-
card which must be posted at the property of your proposed development. You should
post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed
from a public road. Some examples would be: nailing the notice card to a telephone
pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting your property, or at a point along
the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your property. Failure
to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made and if additional information is required, you
will be contacted by the appropriate state or federal agency. If you have any questions,
please contact me at my Elizabeth City office.
Sincerely,

SITE DESCRIPTION:
The applicant owns two parcels of land on.Silver Lake in Ocracoke. One of the
lots supports the Anchorage Inn and two commercial piers with waterfront improvements
which were authorized under CAMA permit #52-80 and have been constructed. The adjacent
piece of property is the subject of this request. This piece currently supports a
house on the western side of N.C. #12 which is serviced by a septic tank and drainfield.
On the eastern (or Silver Lake) side of N.C. #12, the shoreline has been bulkheaded
under general permit #1411-A. The shallow waters of Silver Lake extend up to a narrow
and sparse fringe of Juncus roemerianus in front of the bulkhead.,
The applicant proposes to construct a retail and gift shop at the edge of the
bulkhead. This building will not constitute covering more than 30% of the AEC with
impervious surfaces. Also proposed is the construction of a dock parallel to the
bulkhead which will be 97 feet long by 8 feet wide. A six foot wide commercial dock
with finger piers will extend 185 feet into Sil'ver Lake with a 30 foot X 6 foot "T".
This pier can accommodate seven commercial fishing boats.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The construction of the pier will result in some elevated turbidity levels which
should be temporary and localized. The number of boats which this project can accommo-
date would not constitute a marina under CAMA guidelines, however, this project in
conjunction with the existing piers for Anchorage Inn would allow more than 10 boats
to be moored in this area.
CAMA REVIEW:
This project site is classified as developed in the Hyde County LUP.
