RE: Modification of State Permit #32-14, Town of Beaufort, 718 Front St, Beaufort, Carteret
County
Please find enclosed the request dated received 5/9/14 from Mr. Charles W. Burgess Jr., Town
Manager, to modify the CAMA permit issued to the Town of Beaufort. The original permit, #32-14,
was issued on 3/28/14 and is set to expire on 12/31/17. The permit authorized the reconfiguration of
the existing town docks at Grayden Paul Park, with the addition of three slip areas and the addition
of three 12' x 30' floating platforms as well as one 12' x 24' floating platform with gangways for
ADA accessible passenger ferry service to Cape Lookout National Seashore.
Since the issuance of this permit, the applicant is proposing theigocation of the previously
permitted western floating docks along a pier to the west (o"ed by the Town of Beaufort but
leased by a separate entity) of Grayden Paul Park, a 6' x 150' boardwalk along the existing concrete
wall, a 6' x 29' fixed pier and the addition of two 5' x 20' floating finger piers (replaces two
existing fixed finger piers). The existing 7-slip pier to the west currently houses the Crystal Coast
Lady as well as the ticket booth for ferry transportation to Cape Lookout National Seashore. The
applicant is proposing the placement of a 6' x 150' boardwalk that would extend from the Grayden
Paul Park property over high ground (15' above nhw) and parallel with the existing concrete wall to
the west for approximately 150'. There is a 35' to 40' area along the western portion of the existing
concrete wall that maybe 404 jurisdictional wetlands. Uc boardwalk would then intersect anew 6'
x 29' fixed pier. The new fixed pier portion would run parallel with the existing pier and extend to
the south for approximately 29'. The applicant also proposes to relocate two of the previously
permitted 12' x 30' floating docks from the Grayden Paul Park existing pier to the new location
along the pier to the west which would be connected by a 5' x 35' gangway. The floating piers
would begin approximately 70' waterward of the existing concrete wall (18' from the edge of
coastal wetlands) and remain within the existing docking facility footprint. The floating platforms
would be at the USACOE channel setback as well. Two new 5' x 20' floating finger piers would be
placed along the east side of the floating platforms and would help delineate the existing slips.
There would be no increase in the number of slips (7 existing) as the applicant would be using 4

existing slip areas for this proposal. The project as proposed would be consistent with the specific
guidelines found in 15A NCAC 07H.0208. A check in the amount of $100.00 was included with the
request. If the following specific conditions are met then this district recommends the modification
be authorized.
• The most waterward portion of the platform shall not exceed a maximum distance of 100'
from the existing bulkhead so as to not extend beyond the USACOE channel setback.
• The proposed development shall be placed as shown on drawing dated received by DCM
5/9/14.
• No new slips are authorized for the existing 7-slip docking facility and all development shall
remain within the existing docking facility footprint.

Dear Ms. Styron:
The Town of Beaufort is requesting a minor modification to the above referenced permit.
The Town has completed the work per the original permit authorization, but now desires to
relocate the western floating dock (measuring 12'x60') and attached gangway to the west and
Place it adjacent to the existing fixed dock stricture located 150' from the present/oxiginal
location. This relocation of the floating dock project also includes the replacement of the
existing two (2) fixed finger piers with floating ones. The current configuration of the
existing dockage on the western side of the fixed dock provides for four (4) moorings. The
relocation of the floating dock will also provide for four (4) moorings. There will therefore
be no increase in the existing number of moorings. The ACOE Waterway will not be
affected by the relocation of the floating dock.
In addition to the above, the Town is requesting the placement of a six foot (6') wide one
hundred fifty foot (150) long boardwalk connecting the floating dock with the Grayden Paul
Park property located to the east. The boardwalkwillbe located on uplands adjacent to the
existing bulkhead/seawall.
All of the above minor modifications will take place on property owned by the Town of
Beaufort. All of the above minor modification requests axe in response to the Town trying

to assist and accommodate the National Park Service and their concessionaire's new ferry
service operation. The configuration of the facility contained in the original Major Permit,
although constructed to specifications, does not meet the needs of the concessionaire. The
minor permit modifications contained in this request will satisfy the concessionaire's needs
and allow the operation to be conducted more efficiently.
Included with this request are illustrative documents to provide a good visual depiction of
the Townes request. The Town welcomes the opportunity to provide additional information
or to respond to any questions/concerns you may have.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of the minor permit modification request and
