PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to develop a community water access site with the construction of a marl driveway, a wooden/concrete boat ramp and an excavated entrance channel. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT: HURST HARBOR NORTH / HOMEOWNER'S PARK PAGE #2 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The project site is located on Foster's Creek south west of Swansboro off SR #1511 (the Hammock's Beach Road) in Hurst Harbor North Subdivision at the end of Harold Avenue between lots 9 and 10. The development is located in an unzoned section of Onslow County. The project site consists of approximately 0.35 acres of highground property flanked on the east and west sides by coastal wetlands. The Homeowners Park is an elevated piece of land with general contours that range from 24 feet near the paved road to 10 feet near .the shoreline. Hurst Harbor North is an extension of the original Hurst Harbor Subdivision that was developed about 4 years ago. That development received a CAMA Major Permit 133- 92 authorizing the construction of another community boat ramp and access pier off John L. Hurst Drive on the Intracoastal Waterway. The SC surface waters of Foster's Creek are closed to shellfishing due in part to the proximity of Swansboro's wastewater treatment plant at the head of creek. The subdivision is serviced by county water and sewer. A review of other resource information indicates that the project site is located in the vicinity of possible archaeological sites. Mrs. Venice Cook of Swansboro represents the applicant, Gertrude L. Hurst Trust. The Trust is developing Hurst Harbor North Subdivision and the proposed Homeowners Park. Mr. Donald C. Clements, Jr. has furnished the technical assistance to the completed application and has surveyed the site as shown of the respective workplat drawings. It is worthwhile to mention that a Minor CAMA Notice of Violation was issued on February 20, 1996 to the developer for land disturbing activities that were under taken on the Park property without permit authorization. The applicant proposes to develop a community park and launching facility by providing pier, boat ramp and an access channel in Foster's Creek. A significant amount of earth removal will be required to develop a finished slope and grade that will provide proper elevation and access to the boat ramp. Retaining walls are scheduled for construction along the sidelines of the property as shown on the workplat drawing. These highground structures will help support the required depth of grade. The over burden will be trucked off site. As the workplat drawings show, a marl driveway with turn around loop will connect the street end with the proposed ramp. The ramp has been designed as a wooden pile structure elevated over the 26 foot fringe of saltmarsh cordgrass. Once passed the marsh, a vertical bulkhead and concrete fill will be used to extend the ramp an additional 27 feet into the creek. During mean low tide, most of the area in front of the marsh is an exposed mud flat with "coon" oysters present along the shoreline. Because of the shallow water conditions, an access channel will have to be excavated approximately 108 feet long by 10 feet wide by -1 foot to connect the natural -2.5 foot waters in the creek. The position of the ramp on the shoreline, maximizes existing depths in the shallow water creek. It is anticipated that a small barge mounted excavator will remove approximately 88 cubic yards of silty sand and mud from the proposed alignment. The spoils will be transported by truck to the northeast corner of SR #1511 at Ned Lane. In order to accommodate the FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT: HURST HARBOR NORTH / HOMEOWNER'S PARK PAGE #3 necessary grades of the highground property and the offshore ramp, 2 bulkheads will be constructed, Bulkhead #1 (10ft. long) is scheduled for construction just landward of the marsh grass where the new driveway meets the wooden ramp. Bulkhead #2 (27ft.long) will be located in Foster's Creek at the end of the wooden ramp on the waterward side of the marsh. The project plans call for the construction of wooden pier on the left hand side of the boat ramp to accommodate loading and unloading personal gear and pedestrian traffic. The pier will measure 6 feet wide by 100 feet long. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: On the highground, approximately 7,200 square feet of elevated property will be modified by the grading and sloping requirements for the proposed boat ramp. The marl driveway scheduled for construction will occupy about 2,100 square feet on the hill. In the area of the saltmarsh cordgrass, the wooden pier and elevated boat ramp will generate a foot print shadow approximately 440 square feet on the vegetation. The intertidal mud flat, approximately 270 square feet, will be displaced by the 27 foot long concrete section of the boat ramp. This area includes a scatted number of coon oysters. In addition, approximately 4,200 square feet of shallow water bottomland will be altered by the proposed excavation. A shellfish survey, of this area has not been completed.The 88 cubic yards of muddy sand will be ferried to the highground property and trucked to a near by disposal site. The spoil site, at the corner of SR #1511 and Ned Lane, will be available to the homeowners for future maintenance, requirements. The proposed project is located in the SC waters of Foster's Creek.

Permit to Dredge and/or Fill. 3. Water Quality Certification (Section 401 of the Clean Water Act). This general permit applies in Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Craven, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hertford, Hyde, New Hanover, Onslow, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Tyrrell, and Washington Counties, North Carolina, U.S. Army Engineer District, Wilmington. Operating Procedures: a. Applications for State and Federal authorizations will be accepted directly and simultaneously by both the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) and the Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers (Corps). Receipt of a complete application by the NCDCM will initiate field review to -2- include a site visit and preparation of an Environmental Consultant's Field Report. Receipt of an application by the Corps will initiate Federal review. Immediately upon receipt by the Corps, an application will be assigned an identification number, acknowledged, and the appropriate Corps Area Coordinator will examine the application to assure that it can be processed pursuant to this general permit. The applicant and the NCDCM will be furnished written notification of the Area Coordinator's determination. Notification to the applicant will include a brief description of the administrative process. For those proposals which may result in a discharge into the waters of the United States, the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) and the applicant will be informed regarding the applicant's need to obtain a Water Quality Certification in accordance with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. b. The NCDCM Environmental Consultant's Field Report will be furnished by the respective NCDCM Regional Offices to the Corps. The Corps will provide copies of this Field Report to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Receipt of the Report will initiate the Federal agencies' review. The agencies will be provided sufficient time by the Corps,. normally 30 days, before their comments or recommendations, including any recommended modifications or conditions necessary to make the proposal acceptable, must be received by the Corps. Should the agencies not comment within the review period, it will be assumed they offer no objections. Extensions of time will be granted for agency review only if justified by unusual circumstances. If an extension is granted that would delay a NCDCM decision by the date on which an NCDCM decision must be made, the application may be removed from this general permit. c. The permit review process conducted by the NCDCM is a public process involving public notices in local newspapers, public hearings, and various public appeal procedures. In order to further inform the public, the Corps will distribute, at intervals of approximately two weeks, an additional public notice listing those permit applications received and being considered by NCDCM and the Corps of Engineers under this general permit since the preceding notice. The notice will invite, for a period of not less than 15 days, public comment and/or requests for additional information and for public hearings. All comments will be considered in the overall State/Corps decision on the permit. d. This general permit does not, in any way, alter established procedures or responsibilities, as required by Federal laws, memoranda of agreement, or administrative regulations with respect to the Corps' coordination with the review agencies. The applicant will continue to have the opportunity to rebut objections to the proposal. V -3- e. After agency comments are received, they will be reviewed by the Corps and a coordinated Federal position will be prepared and furnished to the the NCDCM, Raleigh, within 45 days after receipt of the State Environmental Field Consultant's Report. The coordinated Federal position will include all conditions (including recommendations for denial) recommended by the three Federal agencies listed in paragraph b. (above) unless a changed or omitted condition has the prior written agreement of the affected agency. f. In those cases where the Corps does not concur with conditions or recommendations of one or more of the three listed Federal agencies, no coordinated Federal position will be furnished to NCDCM until and unless Federal agency agreement has been reached including, if necessary, entering into the referral procedures outlined by current memoranda of agreement between the Army and the respective agencies. The three agencies will be furnished a copy of the coordinated Federal position at the time they are furnished to NCDCM. g. If the conditions (including recommendations for denial) from the review agencies are unacceptable to the NCDCM, the NCDCM will contact the Corps within 10 days of receipt of the Federal position to resolve the conflict. If resolution of the conflict involves changes to the conditions or recommendations provided by the Federal agencies, the provisions of paragraphs e. and f. (above) will apply, including the procedures of the memoranda of agreement, if appropriate. If the conflict is resolved to the satisfaction of the Corps and other affected review agencies, the NCDCM permit will be issued and the authority of the general permit will apply. h. If the conflict is not resolved within the time necessary for a decision by NCDCM, NCDCM may proceed, independently, to conclude the State action without inclusion of the Federal position. In this case, the applicant and the NCDCM will be notified immediately in writing that the.State permit does not satisfy the Federal permit requirements and that the project in question may not proceed in the absence of Federal authorization. i. If the coordinated Federal position is not in conflict with State agency positions, law, regulation, or policy and is otherwise acceptable to the NCDCM, a State permit will be developed by the NCDCM fully incorporating the State and Federal positions. Copies of the permit will be furnished to the applicant and the Corps. When required, a copy of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification will be furnished to the applicant and the Corps. Issuance of both the NCDCM permit and the NCDEM 401 Certification, if required, must precede validation of this general permit by the District Engineer or his representative. -4- j. If the NCDCM permit or Section 401 Water Quality Certification is denied, the applicant will be informed that Federal authorization is also denied. k. Following issuance of a NCDCM permit, the project will be monitored by NCDCM personnel and inspected for compliance in accordance with normal NCDCM regulations and procedures. Monitoring and periodic evaluation will also be conducted by Corps personnel. If at any time a violation of the NCDCM permit is discovered which would also have been a violation of the Federal position, enforcement action may be taken by both the NCDCM and the Corps in accordance with their respective regulations and policies. 2.

Unless subject to modification, suspension, or revocation, the term of this general permit will be 5 years. Any modification, suspension, or revocation of authorization will not be the basis for any claim against the U.S. Government. j. If subsequent to performance of the work, should any information or data furnished by the applicant prove to be false, incomplete, or inaccurate, the authorization may be modified, suspended, or revoked in whole or in part, and the U.S. Government may institute appropriate legal proceedings. k. There will be no unreasonable interference with navigation or the right of the public to riparian access to navigable waters by the existence or use of the activities authorized by this general permit. 1.

Clements Jr. 41W- The rationale for this request is based on non-compliance of the existing development with the proposed park survey map dated April 24, 1995 and submitted with the permit application. Although the primary concerns of CAMA were addressed in the construction of the existing structure, the Association would like an official approval of the facility by CAMA. The Board of Directors desires to undertake some maintenance of the facility to include covering the existing marl road surface with concrete to prevent further erosion, and to extend the boat ramp another 10 to 15 feet in order to make the ramp usable. Prior to any further expenditure by the Association, we must have assurance by CAMA that the existing structure is approved as modified. For the Board of Directors StStephenen G.

MERCER SUBJECT: COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS HURST HARBOR NORTH HOMEOWNERS PARK / MRS. VENICE COOK FOSTER CREEK / ONSLOW CO. DATE: April 8, 1996 I believe the direct, long term impacts of this project can be minimized by: 1) eliminating the offshore concrete ramp and associated bulkhead that measures about 28 feet by 10 feet; the elevated wooden ramp can be extended as a substitute for the concrete section; and 2) eliminated all channel excavation within the shallow waters between the mean low water and -2.5 ft. MLW.; this will make the overall length of the wooden boat ramp about 120 feet long. This is not an unusual length for wooden boat ramps gaining access over coastal wetlands and shallow water habitat. I recall the wooden ramp DCM permitted in the mid 180 for Bob Koraly in River Reach Subdivision on the White Oak River; that ramp is about 120 feet long. In Emerald Plantation on Bogue Sound, the wooden ramp DCM permitted for Rouse/Watson is at least 200 feet long. These ramps can be seen on our new 1995 photography: 36-438 and 38-456 respectively. I would like to see the necessary CAMA permit issued to HHN with the above modifications made (administratively) to the permitted workplat drawings. The following standard conditions are provided for your review: #1 All proposed development and associated construction must be done in accordance with the permitted workplat drawings as modified by the Division of Coastal Management dated April , 1996. #2 All construction must conform to the North Carolina Building Code requirements and all other Local, State and Federal regulations. #3 Prior to initiating any land -disturbing activities, a barrier line of filter cloth, staked hay bales, or burlap must be installed between the land -disturbing activity and the adjacent marsh or water areas, until such time as the area has been properly stabilized with a vegetated cover. #4 In order to prevent sedimentation, a vegetated buffer zone must be maintained between all disturbed areas and the adjacent waterbody or marsh. In this case, a 30 foot wide buffer has been accepted. #5 The amount of impervious surface areas shall not exceed 30% of the lot area within the 75' Area of Environmental Concern (AEC); in this case, 2,100 sq. ft. COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS HURST HARBOR NORTH HOMEOWNERS PARK / MRS. VENICE COOK FOSTER CREEK / ONSLOW CO. #6 Pursuant to 15 NCAC, Subchapter 7J.0406(b), this permit may not be assigned, transferred, sold or otherwise disposed or to a third -party. #7 No excavation is authorize by this permit. #8 The alignment of the proposed bulkhead must be staked by a representative of the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) within a maximum of thirty (30) days prior to the start of construction. Failure to initiate construction within thirty (30) days, or erosion of the shoreline by adverse weather conditions, will require the alignment to be re -staked by DCM within a maximum of thirty (30) days prior to the new expected start of construction. #9 The bulkhead must be constructed prior to any backfilling or other grading activities. #10 No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized work. ill The authorized structure and associated activity must not cause an unacceptable interference with navigation. 112 No marsh grass will be excavated and/or filled. NOTE:t The project site is located in an area having a high probability of containing cultural resources such as artifacts, human remains, etc. If such materials are encountered, the permittee must immediately stop work and notify the District Engineer, Wilmington Corps of Engineers at (919) 251-4629 and the N.C. Division of Coastal Management at (919) 726-7021. NOTE: L The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the project without having the permit transferred to a third -party. NOTE:3 The permittee and/or his contractor is urged to meet with Division of Coastal Management prior to project initiation.

The applicant proposes to develop a community water access site, including a marl driveway, pier, wooden/concrete boat ramp and an excavated entrance channel in Foster's Creek. In addition, two bulkheads are included in the project plans. AECs impacted by the work include Coastal Wetlands, Estuarine Waters and the Estuarine Shoreline. Waters at the site are classified as SC and are closed to the harvesting of shellfish. The area is not a Primary Nursery Area. I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the 1992 Onslow County Land Use Plan (LUP) and offer the following comments. The general area of the project is classified as Limited Transition, while the AECs impacted by the proposed work are classified as Conservation. The LUP discusses the Conservation classification on Pages 263-265. Onslow County allows uses consistent with the 7H Use Standards in the Estuarine Shoreline, Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Areas and Coastal Wetlands AECs. Resource Protection Policies for AECs and wetlands are included on Pages 203-208. These policies reiterate the County's concurrence with state and federal standards for development in these areas. Bulkhead policies (Page 221) allow bulkheads which are consistent with 7H requirements. The Limited Transition classification is discussed on Pages 253-254 of the LUP. The intent of this class is to provide for development in areas that will have some services, but at densities lower than those future intensive urban densities intended for the Urban Transition class. Onslow County describes the Limited Transition classification as intended for primarily moderate density residential development, but allows a variety of uses. Based on the above policies and classifications, this proposal appears to be consistent with the 1992 Onslow County Land Use Plan, provided all applicable regulations can be satisfied.

McBride, Manager Habitat Conservation Program DATE: March 21, 1996 SUBJECT: CAMA/Dredge and Fill Permit Application for Hurst Harbor North Homeowners Park/ Mrs. Venice Cook --Trustee, on Foster Creek between Lots 9 & 10 at the end of Harold Avenue, near Swansboro, Onslow County. Staff biologists with the Wildlife Resources Commission have completed a review of the project with regards to associated impacts on wildlife and fishery resources in the area. A site visit was conducted on March 20, 1996. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.) and the Coastal Area Management Act (G. S. 113A-100 through 113A-128). The applicant proposes to develop a community park and boat launching facility by providing a pier, boat ramp and an access channel in Foster Creek. Waters at the project site are classified as `SC' and are closed to the harvest of shellfish. The water classification of Foster Creek was changed to accommodate Swansboro's wastewater treatment plant at the head of the creek. All surrounding water bodies are classified as SA or SA-ORW. Development of the boat launching portion of the park would require a significant amount of earth removal to develop a finished slope and grade that will provide proper elevation and access to the boat ramp. The ramp has been designed as a 10 ft. wide wooden pile structure elevated over 26 ft. of coastal marsh and then the fill and excavation of 10 ft. wide x 27 ft. long of intertidal mud flat. At the project site the intertidal mud flat is exposed for a distance of 30 ft. from shore at mean low water (mlw). Because of the shallow water conditions, a channel will have to be excavated approximately 108 ft. long by 10 ft. wide to access the natural -2.5 ft. waters in the creek. The project plans call for the construction of a wooden pier measuring 6 ft. wide x 100 ft. long on the left side of the boat ramp. The ramp and pier will be constructed 2 ft. above the marsh substrate and will shade a 16 ft. x 26 ft. area of marsh. Hurst Harbor Subdivision received a CAMA Major Permit 133-92 authorizing the construction of another community boat ramp and access pier off John L. Hurst Drive on the 'Hurst Harbor Subdivision 2 March 21, 1996 Intracoastal Waterway. Rangers at Hammocks Beach State Park, located across the road from the development, allow the public to use the Park's boat ramp when the ferry is not operating. The proposed boat ramp is 0.3 miles from the development's existing boat ramp. The proposed boat ramp will be located in a very shallow area, and will result in constant turbidity from boat traffic and maintenance dredging. We are not opposed to the development of the community park or the pier but request that the boat ramp be deleted from this project.

The following comments by the NCDMF are provided pursuant to General Statute 113-131. This agency recommends project approval with the following recommendations due to attributes of the proposed project site. 1) The proposed driveway's 15% grade would cause erosion to the marl surface material and subsequent water quality degradation. The utilization of turf block paving of the portion of driveway leading towards the ramp would be a favorable alternative to minimize sediment laden runoff. 2) Construct bridge with adequate spacing between boards to allow light penetration to the vegetative intertidal zone.

Plaintiff is the trustee pursuant to the terms of a charitable trust created by Dr. William Sharpe on September 6, 1950. The original res of the trust was approximately 10,000 acres of beach front and adjacent properties in Onslow County, North Carolina. As a result of sev- eral mesne conveyances, the res of the trust now consists of approximately 805 acres. That remaining portion is the subject of this lawsuit. In this action, plaintiff seeks declaratory relief in the form of a judgment quieting title to the property or, alterna- tively, ordering an alternative disposition of the property and administration of the trust to fulfill as nearly as possible the manifested general intention of the settlor, Dr. William Sharpe. The Ilvi"g Sharpe and Hurst defendants filed answer claiming that plaintiff has failed to properly administer the trust and asserting BOOK 855PzrdE134 a counterclaim, asking the court to order the trust terminated or, in the alternative, to exercise the statutory equivalent of the pY res power, or to remove Hammocks Beach Corporation as trustee, or to clarify the property interests held by the parties. Said living Sharpe and Hurst defendants are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Sharpe and Hurst defendants" to distinguish them from unborn parties represented by guardians. Ned S. Hurst, Guardian ad Litem for.the unknown and unborn heirs of Gertrude Hurst and the late John L.-Hurst, and John T. Carter, Jr., Guardian ad Litem for the unknown and unborn heirs of William Sharpe and wife, Josephine W. Sharpe, have each filed answer similar to that filed by the living Sharpe and Hurst defen- dants. Counsel for the Sharpe and Hurst defendants have stated to the Court that they have written authorization from the late Josephine W. Sharpe to represent her interests in this cause, which_ writing further authorizes William Sharpe to act for her in agree- ing to any negotiated settlement. It is unnecessary for the Court to rely on such authorizations, however, since if Josephine W. Sharpe at the time of her death had any interest in subject prop- erty (which the Court hereafter finds she did not), that interest was devised by her to The Herald Tribune Fresh Air Fund, a charita- ble corporation of the State of New York now known as The Fresh Air Fund, and said Fund was duly served with copy of summons and com- plaint and, as hereinafter recited, claims no interest in said property. -2- BOOK 855PAGE135 Under the terms of the trust, the North Carolina State Board of Education was designated as contingent trustee subject to certain occurrences as referred to hereinafter. The Charitable Trust Administration Act, N.C.G.S. 5 36A-53, requires that in every proceeding brought to modify or construe the terms of a charitable trust, the North Carolina Attorney General be offered an opportu- nity to appear and be heard. Both the State Board of Education and the Attorney General of North Carolina have been made a party defendant in order to represent the interests of the public and have filed answer. The dispute between plaintiff and defendants has con- tinued for over a decade. The impediments to the administration of the trust as contemplated by the settlor have existed and frus- trated the plaintiff's attempts to develop the property for over thirty years. Considering all circumstances, including the delays, uncertainties, risks, and prohibitive costs inherent in this liti- gation, the parties hereto, without in any way conceding error in their respective legal positions, have entered into a compromise resolution and agreement and consented to the entry of this Consent Judgment, fully intending to bind themselves, their heirs, assigns, and successors. Based upon all matters of record in this case and upon the consent of the parties, the court makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. -3- BOOK �S�c7P:�f1�b FINDINGS OF FACT Dr. William Sharpe was one of the early neurosurgeons practicing in New York City. In 1923, he acquired approximately 810 acres of high land adjacent to Queens Creek and Foster's Bay in Onslow County, North Carolina. In 1930 and 1931, he purchased adjacent property consisting of approximately 2,006 acres of sandy beach outer banks (known as Bear Island) and approximately 7,000 acres of marshland. The high land portion was capable of refores- tation or cultivation and was known as "The Hammocks." The land •was acquired by him as a place to which he could retreat from the demands of his professional life. The Hammocks became dear to Dr. Sharpe, as did an Onslow County couple with.whom he became acquainted and who moved onto the property as its tenants and caretakers. That couple were John and Gertrude Hurst, who became very close to Dr. and Mrs. Sharpe and who acted in loco parentis for the Sharpe children during times when the children would visit The Hammocks during vacations from school. Eventually, Dr. Sharpe apprised John and Gertrude Hurst of his desire to devise The Hammocks to them. As stated in the Agreement dated September 6, 1950, and recorded in the Onslow County Registry at Deed Book 221, page 634, Gertrude Hurst, having formerly served as a black teacher• in the then racially segregated public school system, requested Dr. Sharpe instead to make a gift of the property in such manner that black teachers and various youth organizations could enjoy the property. Pursuant to that -4- oa 855eese137 request, and rather than wait until his death, Dr. Sharpe, in 1950, by deed of gift, gave The Hammocks to a nonprofit corporation, most of the incorporators of which were black school teachers. Hammocks Beach Corporation was the name given to such entity, and its char-' ter spelled out its purpose -- to administer the property given to it by Dr. Sharpe "primarily for the teachers in public and private elementary, secondary and collegiate institutions for Negroes in North Carolina . . . and for such other groups as are hereinafter set forth." The deed to Hammocks Beach Corporation as trustee restricted the use of the property for the use and benefit of the members of "The North Carolina Teachers Association, Inc., and such others as are provided for in the Charter of Hammocks Beach Corpo- ration." The terms of the trust deed from Dr. Sharpe to Hammocks Beach Corporation, as amplified by a simultaneously executed agree- ment, subjected all or portions of The Hammocks to numerous rights of use and possession in the Sharpe and Hurst families, including the right to cultivate, to quarry, to raise livestock, to travel over the land incident to taking fin fish and shellfish in adjacent waters, and to reside there. The trust property, originally con- sisting of approximately 10,000 acres, has now been reduced to approximately 805.. Approximately 2,000 ocean front acres were, with the -concurrence of Dr. Sharpe and Mr. and Mrs. Hurst, conveyed by Hammocks, Beach Corporation trustee, to the State of North Carolina, without compensation, and now comprise Hammocks Beach -5- State Park. The trustee therea`Y f�cV4ksced in the claim by the State of North Carolina of title to approximately 7,000 acres of marshland. Hammocks Beach Corporation has, leased two areas of The Hammocks, consisting of approximately 30 and 26.5 acres, respec- tively, for summer camp purposes to the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service (for use by the 4-H organization) and to Future Farmers of America. There is an assembly building on the property which, over the years, has been used sporadically. Hammocks Beach Corporation has had irregular meetings there of its board of direc- tors and members. Although there was, in 1950, no indication that within that decade the United States Supreme Court would decide a case which would eventually desegregate the public school systems, Dr. Sharpe made certain provisions in the deed looking to the pos- sibility that fulfillment of the purposes of the trust may become impossible or impracticable. He directed that in such event, and after declaration of same by its Board of Directors, Hammocks Beach Corporation should convey the property to the North Carolina State Board of Education (hereinater "the Board") as trustee "for the purpose of continuing the trust," and further directed that if the Board refused to accept a conveyance for'that purpose, the property would instead be conveyed to Dr. Sharpe and to John and Gertrude Hurst and their "heirs and descendants." The integration of the public schools which occurred fol- lowing the gift of the property to Hammocks Beach Corporation has BOOK 855P",L133 impacted on both the constituency which Dr. Sharpe intended to ben- efit from the trust and on the ability of Hammocks Beach Corpora- tion to obtain financial support for the improvement of The Ham- mocks to serve its intended purpose. The North Carolina Teachers Association, Inc., the black teachers organization intended as the primary beneficiary, and several of the all -black youth and civic organizations listed in the Charter of Hammocks Beach Corporation, either do not now exist or are relatively nonfunctional. Only the 4-H and the FFA organizations use the property, and then only dur- ing the summer months, and only to the extent of approximately four per cent of the 805 acres held in trust. The amended charter of Hammocks Beach Corporation calls for a board of directors of thirty-one persons, over half of whom are officers or designees of the North Carolina.Teachers ASSOCia- tion, Inc., an organization which no longer exists. The trust terms prohibit the mortgaging or sale of prop- erty. Hammocks Beach Corporation has, in recent years, not been able even to defray ad valorem taxes on the property and has never improved or developed the property to an extent which approaches its potential or is consistent with the value of the property. Even if financial resources were available, the significant rights of use and occupancy vested in the Sharpe and Hurst families so encumber the land that under modern circumstances it would be totally impracticable to devote funds to improving the land for rs*:cremt-.av-mmh activities that would conflict with such rights in the -7- BOOK 855PAGE140 Sharpes and Hursts. Thus, by reason of a change of circumstances not foreseeable in 1950, financial and physical factors render ful- fillment of the terms of the trust impossible, and that is.the case whether the trustee be Hammocks Beach Corporation or the Board. Even if the Board could lawfully take title in its name, which under statutes governing titles to state property it cannot now do, its members have disclaimed any interest in the Board's serving as trustee or otherw.ise attempting to adapt the property to the stated purposes of the trust. In any event, the Board could not, and will not, spend tax revenues for the purpose of administering or improving a racially segregated facility. The integration of the public schools and the virtual disintegration of the organizations for black people which were contemplated by Dr. Sharpe as primary beneficiaries and financial supporters of the trust are circumstances unforeseen by Dr. Sharpe and, in combination with the rights vested in the Sharpe and Hurst families and the prohibition against the mortgage and sale of prop- erty, render the fulfillment of the trust terms impossible or impracticable of fulfillment. The trust is impossible or impracticable of fulfillment whether the trustee continues -to be Hammocks Beach Corporation or whether, in the event the Hoard; would so agree, the trust responsibilities should be assumed by it or by any other agency of state government. Thus, Dr. Sharpe's alternate plan of having the Board assume the trust responsibilities in the event of the BOOK 600PIA41 impossibility or impracticability of fulfillment of the trust terms also fails for the same reasons. Hammocks Beach Corporation contends that either it should be vested with fee simple title to a portion of the trust property or that the terms of the trust should be modified so that an appro- priate portion'of the trust property may be held by it free of any rights vested in the Sharpe and Hurst families and with authority to mortgage and sell in its discretion. The Sharpe and Hurst defendants, on the other hand, con- tend that fulfillment of the trust terms has become impossible or impracticable, that Hammocks Beach Corporation has acted capri- ciously and contrary to the intent of the settlor in not declaring its recognition of such, and that the court should declare the trust terminated and either mandate a conveyance of all of the property to the Sharpe and Hurst families or adjudicate title in their names. The Fresh Air Fund, devisee under the will of the late Josephine W. Sharpe, has been duly served with copy of summons and complaint and has not filed answer. Its attorney, E. Douglas Hamilton, of the New York Bar, has advised the court by letter that it will not file'answer. The late Josephine W. Sharpe had no interest in The Hammocks at the?time of the 1950 trust deed other than an inchoate right of dower, and her joinder in the execution of that deed extinguished that interest. At the time of her death, she had no interest in the property, either by reason of the terms Q10 aaoh 855F,GE142 of the trust deed or the terms of her predeceased husband's will, or otherwise. She, therefore, owned no interest which she could have included in the devise to The Fresh Air Fund contained in her will. Certified copy of her duly probated will is appended to written stipulations by the parties approved by the Court on this date. Ned S. Hurst, Guardian ad Litem for the unknown and unborn heirs of John L. Hurst and wife, Gertrude Hurst, and John T. Carter, Jr., Guardian ad Litem for the unknown and unborn heirs of William Sharpe and wife, Josephine W. Sharpe, have each filed answer wherein they have fully asserted the interests of their wards and they have appeared before the court and otherwise pro- tected their position. The Attorney General of the State of North Carolina has filed answer and, through Andrew A. Vanore, Jr., Chief Deputy Attorney General, appeared before the Court and asserted the public interest. The Attorney General has advised the Court that the State Board of Education has no interest in succeeding Hammocks Beach Corporation as trustee and would not agree to do so, and oth- erwise takes no position in respect to this litigation. In an effort to avoid the risk of a trial of this action and in search of a means of continuing the trust so as to carry out the original intentions of Dr. Sharpe, the parties have negotiated at great length. Through their counsel, they have stated to the court that, subject to the court's approval, they have agreed to -10- 1. nox 855P4JE143 the entry of a judgment which would (1) enable Hammocks Beach Cor- poration to retain title to a.sufficient portion of the land to serve the trust purposes, with additional powers of administration which should enable it to improve the property to the extent rea- sonably necessary, and (2) vest in the Sharpe and Hurst families a reasonable portion of the land in exchange for their relinquishing rights in that portion to be vested solely in Hammocks Beach Corpo- ration as trustee. The two aforesaid Guardians and the Attorney General have stated to the Court their belief that the settlement proposed is in the best interest of those they represent. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The court concludes as a matter of law that: (a) The Court has jurisdiction of the subject matter and over each of the parties to this action. (b) There is substantial evidence, and the Court finds, that the fulfillment of the terms of the trust created by the. deed from Dr. William Sharpe to Hammocks Beach Corporation is impossible or impracticable. If this litigation is not compromised and a trial ensues, Hammocks Beach Corporation will incur a substantial risk that the counterclaims of the defendants Sharpe and Hurst would prevail, with resulting termination of the trust and a con- veyance of the real property to the Sharpe and Hurst families. (c) The settlement which has resulted from negotiations betweem the parties, whereunder Hammocks Beach Corporation as -11- BOOK 855 ME 144. .t-rustee would hold title to an appropriate portion of The Hammocks free of any claims of the Sharpes and Hursts and with broader administrative powers, with the remainder of said property being vested in the Sharpe and Hurst defendants, is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the present and prospective beneficiaries of the trust, as well as the public interest, and is accordingly approved. The Court finds that such negotiations have been in good faith and at arms'.length and further finds that in so negotiating and agreeing to this settlement, Hammocks Beach Corporation, as trustee, has acted properly and in the best interest of the trust. (d) The agreed settlement is fair and in the best inter- ests of the unknown and unborn Sharpe and Hurst heirs, who have been fully and adequately represented by counsel. (e) The Fresh Air Fund, a nonprofit corporation of the State of New York which has succeeded to the interests, if any, of the late Josephine W. Sharpe in the subject property, has not filed answer. The court has found that the late Josephine W. Sharpe had no title to the subject property which could have been devised by her to The Fresh Air Fund and, accordingly, The Fresh Air Fund has no interest in the property which is the subject of this action.

The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the application and your field investigation report. We recommend that the following condition(s) be included in the State authorization: 1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the permit plans. 2. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water (MHW) elevation contour and any regularly or irregularly flooded vegetated wetlands within adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of solids into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters. 3. No excavated or fill materials will be placed at any time (including temporary and double handling) in any vegetated wetlands or waters. 4. Excavation will not exceed 2.5 feet below the elevation of mean low water (MLW). 5. The fill material will be clean and free of any pollutants except in trace quantities. Metal products, organic materials, or unsightly debris will not be used. 6. No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized work. Use of the permitted activity must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. 7. If the display of lights and signals on the authorized structure is not otherwise provided for by law, such lights and signals as may be prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard will be installed and maintained by and at the expense of the permittee. 8. It is possible that the authorized structure may be damaged by wavewash from passing vessels. The issuance of this permit does not relieve the permittee from taking all proper steps to ensure the integrity of the permitted structure and the safety of moored boats. The permittee will not hold the United States liable for any such damage. 9. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without having it transferred to a third party. 10. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction -related discharge. Increases such that the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 25 NTU's or less in all saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not considered significant. 11. If the permittee discovers any previously unknown historic or archeological remains while accomplishing the authorized work, he will immediately notify the Wilmington District Engineer who will initiate the required State/Federal coordination. 12. This Department of the Army permit does not obviate the need to obtain other Federal, State, or local authorizations required by law. 13. This permit does not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges. 14. In issuing this permit, the Federal Government does not assume any liability for: a. Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of other permitted or unpermitted activities or from natural causes. b. Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of current or future Federal activities initiated on behalf of the general public. c. Damages to other permitted or unpermitted activities or structures caused by the authorized activity. d. Design and construction deficiencies associated with the permitted work. e. Damage claims associated with any future modification, suspension, or revocation of this permit. 2 Questions or comments may be addressed to the undersigned at telephone (910) 251-4636.

A review of your application received February 28, 1996, for Department of the Army authorization to dredge approximately 1,820 square feet of intertidal creek bottom for a boat access channel, fill 270 square feet of intertidal bottom for the construction of a boat ramp, and construct a pier for the purpose of developing a community water access site on Foster Creek, at the end of Harold Avenue, between lots 9 and 10, in the Hurst Harbor North subdivision, in Swansboro, Onslow County, North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under this general permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing of your application will be accomplished by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal review agencies will be furnished to the State. If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for any reason, you will be informed regarding its further management, if there are no unresolved differences in State -Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your application by the State will result in your receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the general permit and you may commence your activity. only after receiving such confirmation should you begin work. On February 6, 1990, the DA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging, practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to minimize impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating for any remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. To enable us to process your application in full compliance with this MOA, we request that you provide the following additional information: a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging, practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least damaging to water or wetland areas. Printed an 0 Recycled Paper b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practical steps to reduce wetland losses. Please show all that you have done, especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed construction techniques, to reduce adverse impacts. c. The MOA requires that appropriate and practical mitigation will be required for all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate and practical minimization has been employed. Please show your plan to mitigate for the projected, unavoidable loss of waters or wetlands or provide information as to the absence of any such appropriate and practical measures. This information is essential to our expeditious processing of your application and it should be forwarded to us by March 26, 1996. Also, a copy of this information must be sent to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management to enable them to adequately evaluate your application for a Water Quality Certification pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, has been assigned Action ID No. 199603013.
