Dear Ms. Coats: Included are five 24" x 36" color copies of drawing Deep Point Marina, Marina Area Update, dated 8, sealed 5-13-09, for the Bald Head Island Limited, LLC owned Deep Point Marina. This drawing incorporates the two recently approved variance requests of the harbormaster/emergency vehicle access road and the five 20'x28' dock landings onto the marina area shown on the site plan along with other previously approved development in the 75' marina AEC. In consultation with Ted Tyndall, the marina entry sign that was eliminated from the variance request is now shown in a permitable location landward of the mean high water line, north of the northern jetty and is part of this L.O.R. request. Also included is a request for wood decking within the AEC, outside of the 30' marina buffer, associated with previously permitted buildings, as well as some temporary wood deck and walkways outside of the buffer based on the Harbor Master Building construction being pushed to a future date. 12-1 1-08 Minor Mod drawing DPM-3 seal dated 10-1-08 included a 3-D rendering of the Harbor Master Building/Pool. Its construction will be scheduled for a future "off-season" so as to lessen impact on the busy summer month usage of the new main ferry terminal. As you are aware, the marina area is only a small portion of the 76+ acre Deep Point site, which is being developed in several phases. Permitted development not shown on this drawing should not be construed as being abandoned. I did provide a recap near the upper right hand comer of the drawing of all of the currently permitted site structures, indicating location with respect to the AEC and 30' marina buffer as well as construction status. (C= completed, UC = under Construction, F = Future). These structures were culled from 13+ years of permit drawings, minor modifications and letters of refinement. Also included is a list of the slip count from the 10-18-07 Minor Mod drawing DPM-2 seal dated 9-26-07 drawing. As an update drawing, to make things clearer to understand, permitted items that have remained or basically remained unchanged are in black or gray line or gray shading; permitted items that have slightly changed location or shape are shown in blue; the 75' marina AEC and 30' Marina buffer lines are indicated in green; and the marina entrance sign and wood decks/temporary wood walks outside of the 30' buffer are shown in red. I did break the wood decking down on the drawing as to quantity per building, and inside or outside of the AEC. The wood decking areas is that shown outside of the roof overhangs, which are typically 2' wide.

The 9-26-07 DPM-2 drawing showed docks starting with a single slip, then a timer, then a double slip, finger, double slip. Main Docks are not affected. C. B. Harbor Storage Sheds (4): 144 sq ft roof area each (100 sf building footprint) essory structures. All are outside of the 30' buffer, but within the 75'AEC. LOR dated 3-30-09 allowed�ffing Shed B2 to its current location near shed Bl . Bl & B2 are being utilized as the temporary harbor master office until the Harbor Master/Pool Complex is built. They will then be used as the pool filter shed and for harbormaster storage purposes. B3 is near the gazebo/pergola N, and B4 is near the "crofters" Q 1 &Q2. An impervious entry pad of 40 sq ft is associated with each of these sheds. C. Wood Dock Landings (5): Within the marina buffer, at the top of each of 5 ramps at A, B, C, D & E/F. Per 4-29-09 Variance, landings are 20'x28'. A,B,C&D landings have been rotated 90 degrees from Variance drawing DPM 4, 7-9-08, to minimize handicap ramp flat tie in to the landward side of B & D dock. A & C, have similar orientation for consistent look along marina west wall. Dock landings are sized to allow for raccoon proof garbage enclosures; dock cart storage; handicap turnaround; a bike rack and/or a bench seat. D. Ramps from landings to the Floating Docks (8). 4'-6" wide x 26'+/- Aluminum Ramps. Six are shown at the recreational part of the marina and designated D-1 thru D-6, with D7 shown at the maintenance finger. D8 is for future alignment at H-Dock. E. Electrical Transformers/Junction Enclosures/pads (11) shown inside of 75' AEC. El thru E-11. Electrical engineer/power company will decide final number/locations based on wiring path(s) available. Along with transformers is the underground electrical wiring necessary to power the transformers, and all service wiring. E1-E5 are located in the 30' Buffer. El-E4 are located for A-D Dock Power Panels. E5 is for F-Dock Power Panels. E6-EI 1 are located outside of the 30' buffer, but within the 75, AEC. E6 is at the southeast comer of the marina, south of the crofters. E7-E8 are above the retaining wall near the southwest comer of the marina, for power for the mixed use building and elsewhere on site. E9 is an existing transformer near ferry slips Gl /G2. El & El 1 are existing transformers near the barge hydraulic pump house. Transformers outside of the AEC are not listed. DPM3 10-1-08 drawing only indicated 4 within the buffer plus 1 outside the buffer in the AEC, related to the slip power. This update includes all transformers in the AEC. F. Electrical Kiosks (8) Fl thru F8: for the electrical power panels, 7 of these marina dependent backboards are shown within the 30' marina buffer with approx 48 sf roof area each. F8 is outside of the 30' buffer, but within the 75' AEC. The stormwater permit includes 385 sf of electrical panel roofs. Note that the electrical panels need to be accessed to reset circuit breakers. The roofs are a life safety feature to protect the workers from rain. Opposite side has the meter cabinet and functions as a bulletin board. G. Marina Holding Tank Pump Out Shore Side Tank: G1 is the pump station for the A -Dock (fuel dock) holding tank pump out. G2 is pump station for the ferries in the marine maintenance area. H. Pump Out Station: Hl is the dock component on A -Dock to shore side tank/pump Gl I.

Having attendant location near the pumps for busy summer season is desirable from a safety & turnaround standpoint. Access floating dock/decking at end of slip A5 (approx 14'x22') is shown in case it is decided to build floating dock for gazebo full width of slip A5-A6. We might not want to lose the larger slip length, so the extra decking is still under discussion. IL Fuel dispensers and hose reels indicated on the fuel dock (A -Dock). There will also be an isolation/ transfer box near the top and the bottom of the A -dock ramp, in order to shutoff fuel to the dock in storm conditions. Fuel piping will be double wall piping per UST regulations. Fuel lines and valves will run underground through both the Marina buffer and the 75' marina AEC. Note: Fuel tank location for the 12,000 gal diesel tank and the 8000 gallon gasoline tank and the vent piping are outside of the AEC, in the parking lot south of the harbormaster office, and are already in our CAMA Permit. Tank location (item V) has shifted away from marina from previous drawings. L Wood Stairs/Handicap Ramps: Ramp Ll is from the marina parking turnaround to B Dock; Stairs L2 is to C Dock; and Ramp L3 is to D-Dock. The wood ramps are handicap compliant which requires ADA landings max every 30', with a max 1 V:12H slope. Due to FEMA Flood Zone Regulations, the Harbormaster Office (Finished Floor Elevation 12.0) is over 6' above the marina bulkhead cap. M. Over -The -Water 16'xl6' Roofed Gazebo/B'xl7' Wood Plafform/Landing. The end of F- Dock is over a quarter of a mile from the Harbormaster office. This roofed, open air structure will have bench seats which will provide for respite from rain or sun, with alignment as shown. N. Gazebo/Pergola similar to the pictured gazebo/pergola at Bald Head Island Marina. N is outside of the Marina Buffer but inside of the 75' Marina AEC. It has 526 sq ft of roof (22'x24'+/-). Wood deck size, including that covered by roof is is 24'x42'. A pervious "pergola" area covers the unroofed portion. Stormwater permit is for two such structures at 526 sf of impervious each = 1052 sf, but we have reduced our CAMA request to just one, and used the roof area of the other to help create the turnaround at the end of the emergency access road. O. Pool & Pool Deck outside of the 30' Marina Buffer, but within the 75'AEC. 1500 sf impervious is in Stormwater Permit SW8-071004 for the Pool Deck not under the roof line, with the pool size being approximately 34' x 48' (pools are considered pervious surfaces). Note that we have included a rendered detail of the Harbor Master Building showing pool and deck. There is an architectural pool "overflow" area along the east side of the pool, which is sited outside of the 30' marina buffer. P. Impervious Surfaces/Parking Pl-P3: Speckled areas on the drawing. 7500 sf is Stormwater Permitted as "parking/impervious". It is all shown outside of the 30' marina buffer, with the majority within the 75' AEC. Part of P2 is outside of 75'. P3 is a 20'x20' impervious pad between crofters Ql & Q2, with some of the area underneath the crofter decks. P1, shaded blue, is now configured as the 8' wide emergency access road outside of the 30' buffer and adjacent sidewalk. Note that we are showing B3, N, and wood decks U1 & U2 over P2, which may allow a future re -allocation of impervious surface. Q. Crofters (2): These are outside of the 30' Marina buffer, but within the 75' Marina AEC. Q1 has a stormwater permitted 510 sf roofed area and A2 has 600 sf roofed area. These 2-3 story crofters are Bald Head Island style small buildings with living or office space above a break -away walled garage. Shown with 8' wide decks around perimeters of buildings (assumed 2' roof overhangs, thus decking shown as 6' outside of roof edges. Architectural styling is not complete, so roof shapes may change. R. Wetland Boundary Fence/Bench/Knee wall. Please note that there is a 404 wetland indicated along/east of the E&F-dock. In order to help protect the wetland area, we propose a a sloppy vee/6x6 post knee wall, with 3"xl0" horizontal cbp, all with ground contact treated lumber. We have limited this "knee wall" to the areas outside of the 30' marina buffer, but may at a ftlillrpe l�li ieD continue it along the 404 inside of the 30' buffer.

Bald Head Island was originally comprised of approximately 12,000 acres of land and estuarine marsh. The actual development on the Island consists of approximately 2,000 acres with the balance having been donated to the state of North Carolina for conservation purposes. 2. Plans call for a total of approximately 2,000 dwelling structures when Island build -out is completed; with the vast majority of those structures being single family and cluster single family homes. 3. In addition to visits by homeowners Bald Head Island receives thousands of annual visitors who rent vacation accommodations, visit the Old Baldy Lighthouse and participate in the programs of the Bald Head Island Conservancy. All of those individuals are transported through the existing Indigo Plantation Marina; however, these operations will be transferred to the Deep Point Marina in early summer of 2009. The entire Deep Point project totals seventy eight acres and will accommodate parking for 3,000 vehicles. According to records maintained by Limited in excess of 300,000 annual passenger trips are taken on ferries operated by the applicant. 4. With the exception of limited access by private boat, all persons, supplies, and materials are delivered to Bald Head Island by passenger ferries owned and operated by Limited; or barge service provided by Limited. The ferry is the principal means of evacuation for persons involved in medical emergencies. Passenger ferry operations are regulated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission. The property immediately at issue is nine acres on which has been developed the Deep Point Marina. This development has taken place under the authority of CAMA Major Permit Number 91-96, issued on June 3, 1996. The marina bulkhead and entrance channel were completed in 2000. Since this completion, barge service and contractor/employee ferry operations have taken place from Deep Point. Ferry passengers currently utilize an existing covered landing dock and related walkways. 6. Limited is nearing completion of its new Deep Point passenger terminal, a multi -level 40,000 square foot structure authorized under Permit 91-96. Much bf the design and ultimate function of the terminal was dictated by the requirements of the Transportation Safety Administration in the areas of passenger, baggage and staging security. Deep Point passenger operations will primarily utilize Limited's two eighty-two foot passenger catamaran ferries. When placed in service at total capacity these vessels will have US Coast Guard K-boat certification enabling them to carry 230 passengers per trip. Currently these vessels are certified to carry 149 passengers per trip. 5 of 14 CRC-VR-09-01 8. Limited is currently completing development of an 80 slip marina within a large portion of the Deep Point marina basin. The entire marina, including ferry and other commercial operations, will accommodate 100 slips. There is a jetty wall on the south shore. 9. The items sought through this present variance request pertain only to the recreational marina located generally southwest of the marina entrance and south jetty wall. 10. Pursuant to requests dated July 8, 2008 Limited initially sought: (a) a minor modification of Permit 91-96 to allow it to construct an eight -foot wide paved access surface approximately 12 feet waterward of the normal water level within the thirty foot normal high water line, approximately a quarter mile in length, and approximately six -feet landward of the permitted six-foot wooden walkway that surrounds the recreational marina now under development. This was also to include a single 28 by 28 ft. paved turn -around area. (b) a minor modification of Permit 91-96 to allow it to construct five (5) 20 by 28 ft. landings (platforms) at the tops of the ramps, within 30 feet of the normal water level, that allow access to the five floating pier or dock structures within the recreational marina, identified as Docks A, B, C, D, and E/F. (c) a minor modification of Permit 91-96 to allow construction of a Deep Point Marina entrance sign out in the water as depicted on drawing DPM-5. 11. Pursuant to a letter dated August 28, 2008, the Division of Coastal Management denied the request for minor permit modification to allow the construction of the paved access surface and the tum-around area finding that it was to be located within the 30-foot Coastal Shoreline buffer inconsistent with 15A NCAC 07H.0209(d) (10); and also denied the request for minor permit modification to allow construction of five 20 by 28 ft. wooden landings or platforms at the tops of the dock access ramps within the 30-foot Coastal Shoreline buffer, based on a determination that the total square footage of the five structures was 2,800 square feet and thus in excess of the 200 feet allowed under 15A NCAC 07H.0209 (d)(10). 12. Pursuant to a letter dated December 5, 2008, DCM denied the request for a minor permit modification to allow placement of marina signage in the Public Trust Areas and Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern, due to three main reasons: the sign was considered a non -water dependent structure; a feasible high ground alternative location existed; and the proposed project was inconsistent with 15A NCAC 07H.0208(a)(1) and 15A NCAC 07H.0208(a)(2)(b). During the course of the review of the in -water sign request, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers indicated that they did not object to the proposed project. 13. Limited has now voluntarily withdrawn its original request for a variance for the placement of proposed marina signage in the Public Trust Areas and Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern. 6 of 14 CRC-VR-09-01 r 14. The paved surface (road) requested by applicant runs from the Harbormaster's Office around the recreational marina to the entrance channel bulkhead a total distance of one - quarter of a mile. 15. Each of the five landings or platforms requested at the tops of the dock access ramps measures 20 by 28 ft. or 560 square feet, for a total area of 2,800 square feet. 16. The five landings or platforms requested will serve the six docks (A through F) and the number of slips (individual boat or vessel moorings) shown adjacent to the following dock designation: A Dock 6 slips B Dock 17 slips C Dock 19 slips D Dock 11 slips E/F Dock 27 slips (total) These existing docks have been used since 2000. 47. The Deep Point marina was originally sited and permitted in 1996, at which point in time the thirty foot buffer did not exist. Marina site clearing and excavation began in 1997 and 1998. 18. Under DCM Form MP-3 and the original CAMA Permit the Applicant's Deep Point marina development has an allowed impervious surface coverage within the 75 foot AEC of 112,900 square feet. The south and west sides of the marina were depicted as 100% impervious coverage within 30 feet of the marina. 19. Permit No. 91-96 was modified on December 11, 2008, to remove approximately 9,200 square feet of impervious area from the buffer that was authorized in the original osP 6' proposal. f4--y" VJ 20. The access road surface and marina landings, if included in impervious coverage, will S constitute a total of approximately 91,000 square feet impervious coverage at the site in question. The proposed road detail calls for a cross -slope road surface which diverts rainfall away from the marina. NPDES Phase II Stormwater Rules focus on a 1 '/2 inch storm event. In the case of an 8 foot wide road this amounts to a 1 cubic foot of rain water per foot of road. The rock base plus asphalt pavement will place the road surface at approximately 5 inches above normal grade. A 2 foot wide area of flat ground with a 3 horizontal to 1 vertical foot side slope to the road is sufficient to hold the I cubic foot of water, but it would infiltrate into the ground more quickly than it could build up. The area around the marina is of a porous sandy nature and has a low density stormwater permit (SW8-071004) which does not require additional treatment. Applicant also plans a 3 foot buffer between the marina bulkhead and the 6 foot perimeter boardwalk, planted with native grasses and wildflowers. 7 of 14 CRC-VR-09-01 21. Applicant's marina site was originally permitted for 22 acres of clear cut parking sheet with drainage to a wet pond; as constructed the site will utilize a number of treed infiltration basins. 22. Applicant's marina site was originally to employ septic service for handling wastewater, but now has sewer lines in place with treatment by wastewater treatment plant. 8 of 14 CRC-VR-09-01 ATTACHMENT C (Petitioner's Position and Staff s Response to Criteria) I. Will strict application of the applicable development rules, standards, or orders issued by the Commission cause the petitioner unnecessary hardships? If so, the petitioner must identify the hardships. Petitioners' Position: Yes. Petitioner contends that the application of the cited rules constitutes an unnecessary hardship because the rules do not appear to address facts and characteristics inherent to this property and project. The rules are directed at individual piers, docks and related structures such as are customarily built on residential lots or smaller tracts. This quite naturally might lead to hardship in cases such as the one that is the subject of this request, involving a 100 slip facility. The thirty foot high water set back became effective after the marina was designed and initially permitted in 1996. The original design for the marina was largely driven by the characteristics of the property, and these are the characteristics which CAMA took into account when issuing the permit. The T wide paved surface is meant as a safety/access road surrounding the recreational portion of the marina running from the Harbormaster's Office to the northeast end of the marina (F-Dock) at the entrance channel bulkhead. The distance from the Harbormaster's Office to this point is approximately one quarter of a mile. One of the principal purposes of this surface is to allow access for fire and other emergency vehicles; including equipment that would be employed in order to contain a fuel or hazmat spill. In addition, the first CAMA permit for the Deep Point site that was issued before the marina was constructed tasked Limited to assure adequate trash pickup to keep the waters of the marina clean. Petitioners' plans call for the Harbormaster to use electric golf carts or similar vehicles for daily trash pickups. Servicing numerous trash receptacles that surround the marina as well as garbage generated by recreational use is better accomplished by these means, which in turn serves the original intent at the time of permitting, as well as preventing degradation of the adjacent waters and land within the AEC. At the time the marina was originally sited/permitted in 1996, there was not an issue with placing the minimal width paved surface between the adjacent wetland and the marina bulkhead. The property has not changed; nor has the concept for the marina. The paved access surface will facilitate a limited and defined use that will occur behind a substantial bulkhead within the marina confines. When one considers that this use is being made in the interest of safety and the environmental objectives upon which CAMA is in part premised, Petitioners submit that it becomes the reasonable use for the property and to do otherwise becomes a hardship per se. Petitioners also suggest that the 200 square foot dock landing limitation is more appropriate for an individual residential dock and landing constructed on an individual lot. Deep Point Marina is both a commercial and recreational 100 slip marina. There are five docks servicing six to seventeen slips served by each of the proposed wooden landings. Petitioners contend that if the rule is applied as currently cited, only 40 square feet is allowed for each 9 of 14 CRC-VR-09-01 landing. Handicap turn around space (5' diameter circle) alone requires 20 square feet of clear space at the top of each ramp. By way of further illustration, if one allocates the total decks and landings square footage requested by Petitioners among all the boat slips, the area allocable to each slip is well below the regulatory limitation. Eighty individual piers or docks would arguably qualify for a total of 16,000 square feet of deck or landing space. However, these five landings will occupy only 3,000 square feet, or less than 40 square feet per each boat accommodated, well below the 200 square foot total contained in the rule. It is only in the aggregate that an issue arises; but no provision is made in the rule for this circumstance. Petitioners believe that a marina such as this, permitted, constructed and operated under a total use of the property, becomes reasonable because more citizens can make use of the coastal environment via a facility that has less total impact upon the AEC. Since strict application of the rule will not allow for this result, it can only be reasonably concluded that an unnecessary hardship exists by virtue of the application of the rule. Staffs Position: Yes. Staff agrees with Petitioner that the application of the cited rules constitutes an unnecessary hardship in this situation. The 100-slip marina was permitted in 1996 prior to adoption of the "30-foot buffer rule" for 100% impervious area along both the south and west sides of the marina basin that was dug out of high ground. Although the permit was amended to reduce this impervious percentage in late 2008, staff believes that the applicant does make a good case that the original project design allowed for flexibility in the modifications of imperviousness for which strict application of the 30' buffer does not now allow. Staff believes that the petitioner has made a sound argument for the need to provide safe and useable access for both fire and emergency vehicles at this marina that functions as a transportation corridor for all of Bald Head Island, as well as the need to provide safe handicap accessible turnaround spaces at the top of each off-loading ramp. II. Do such hardships result from conditions peculiar to the petitioner's property, such as location, size, or topography of the property? Explain. Petitioners' Position: Yes. Deep Point Marina is situated along the Cape Fear River/Intracoastal Waterway, at the north end of Southport, adjacent to the NC Southport -Fort Fisher State Ferry Site at the end of NC Route 21 l/Ferry Road. The 78 acre site was purchased in 1996 in order to provide sufficient parking capacity for future build out of Bald Head Island and to accommodate the corresponding demands for passenger ferry and barge operations. The marina basin was sited with much feedback from CAMA, and the entrance channel was shifted based on CAMA recommendations. The final siting was within approximately 25' of the east wall of the marina. Petitioners recall that at the time the 30' buffer restrictions were not in place. The Deep Point Marina Passenger Ferry Terminal has undergone much thought and planning as to staging passenger and baggage drop-off and pick-up. The Bald Head Island Ferry 10 of 14 CRC-VR-09-01 is now and will likely continue to be the largest passenger carrying operation in the state, conducting the most frequent passenger runs between destinations. The ferries are currently certified to carry 149 passengers and when the Deep Point facility is completed will be certified under US Coast Guard K-Boat requirements for the carriage of up to 230 passengers. As a consequence of this the property design and marina operation were driven by the need for a sizeable passenger ferry terminal, the design of which was independently influenced by Transportation Safety Administration and US Coast requirements. While ferry operations do not directly necessitate this variance request, the needs and requirements of the Ferry Terminal were of prime importance in shaping the whole site. The recreational portion of the marina is located mostly on the southern end of the marina, instead of being wrapped around the whole marina as would usually be the case. Petitioners believe that the 80 boat slips at issue require sufficient access for safety vehicles and equipment; and that the decks and landings as requested are reasonable given this property and project. Petitioners assert that it is thus the comprehensive character of the marina with the incorporated recreational component that constitutes conditions peculiar to the property which in turn cause the hardship under the rules as currently applied. Staffs Position: Yes. Although staff does not believe that Petitioner's property where the marina is located is any more peculiar than most upland basins, staff does agree with Petitioner, that the fact that the marina basin was sited and permitted with guidance and direct feedback from the Division in 1996 to ensure protection of water quality and estuarine resource habitat, yet met the needs of the applicant in providing for an island community. As the Petitioner stated, the marina project site is one of the largest if not the largest passenger carrying operations in the state. Staff also agrees that the size of the mainland -based passenger ferry terminal operation incorporating a recreational component does create conditions within the basin itself that could be considered peculiar to the property thus causing the hardship. III. Do the hardships result from the actions taken by the Petitioner? Explain. Petitioners' Position: No. Petitioners note that with regard to the paved access to the marina slips, the marina permit was issued in 1996, before the 30' "buffer rule" was in existence. Although there have been numerous minor permit modifications through the years, the basic design, size and siting of the marina is the same as initially approved in 1996. It is the previously approved characteristics of design and siting that apparently have come into question under the current rules application, which in turn creates hardship. It is impossible to shift the marina, and the space constraints due to the 404 wetland were not an issue when the marina was constructed. The Deep Point Marina is a comprehensive development providing for passenger ferry, cargo and recreational boater usage, constructed pursuant to an equally comprehensive matrix of permits and approvals. The design and engineering was determined by the characteristics of the 11 of 14 CRC-VR-09-01 site and best reasonable usage. Petitioners submit that the deck and landing limitation was misapplied to this set of facts in that it does not address the attributes of a large marina. As Petitioners have previously set forth above, if this issue is approached from the standpoint of allocation of the total deck and landing area among the number of slips served, the total square footage is well below that which would be permitted for this number of pier or dock users. Staffs Position: No. Staff agrees with the Petitioner that the hardships essentially result in the application of the 30' buffer rule being applied to a project that was designed, permitted, and constructed in 1996, years before the buffer rule came into effect. Staff does, however, point out that the project changes and permit modification request is an action taken by the Petitioner. Staff believes that the original 1996 permit allowed more flexibility in the Petitioner's ability to modify the permit in regard to the percentage imperviousness. It should be noted that much of the proposal could have been permitted if the applicant had not requested a modification of the permit in 2008 to remove the impervious area from the buffer along the east and south sides of the basin within the buffer. A point in fact is that 15A NCAC 07H.0209 (d)(10)(H) allows for redevelopment over existing impervious surfaces (in this case, permitted but not constricted), provided that the impervious surface is not increased and the applicant designs the project to comply with the intent of the rules to the maximum extent feasible. The buffer rile, by design, has limited flexibility with only 10 specific exceptions to the rule. IV. Will the variance requested by the petitioner: (1) be consistent with the spirit, purpose, and intent of the rules, standards or orders issued by the Commission; (2) secure the public safety and welfare; and (3) preserve substantial justice? Explain. Petitioners' Position: Yes. Petitioners contend that the primary purpose of the requested paved access surface is to provide access for fire and emergency vehicles and transportation of equipment in the event of an emergency. In order to accomplish this purpose the surface must access all marina slips and run to the channel entrance bulkhead. These vehicles are heavy and are not particularly suited for travel on the sand based surface of the marina site generally. Petitioners submit that these concerns for safety are entirely consistent with the applicable rules, the underlying intent, and justice. The size (square footage) of the wood dock landings is based on the placement of items that are necessary for a safe and modern marina including life rings and lines, site lighting, bike racks, dock carts and suitable garbage receptacles. There is also a concern for ample space to accommodate handicap access. In addition, the total area of deck or landing space will be substantially less than would be allowable in the case of individual or smaller strictures serving the same number of boaters. The minor changes sought pursuant to Petitioners' variance request will have no conceivable adverse impact on water quality or the surrounding estuarine areas. In fact, to the extent that they facilitate better trash containment and collection, they will prevent degradation of the surrounding waters. 12 of 14 CRC-VR-09-01 Petitioners assert that the changes requested will not expand the usage of the permitted area or enlarge the development. They will, however, improve the use and enjoyment of this facility by members of the public; a facility which in and of itself will provide significant recreational access to these waters and surrounding coastal environments. Most importantly, the changes will contribute to improved safety for those using the marina. Staffs Position: Yes. Staff believes that the applicant has tried to meet the spirit, purpose, and intent of the rules with the design of the road around the marina basin. The Petitioner has proposed an engineered -designed road that diverts rainfall away from the marina and one that creates a 2' wide area of flat ground with a 3 horizontal to 1 vertical side slope to the road sufficient to hold 1 cubic foot of water and infiltrate into the ground. The road project is designed to handle a 100- year 24-hour storm event. In addition, it should be noted the applicant has already installed a main parking area that requires sheet flow to a wet pond and will utilize a number of treed infiltration basins to protect water quality runoff from the site. In regard to the five platforms, the engineer has stated that the natural sands of the site are capable of infiltrating water at a rate of 20 inches per hour. Staff believes that this is sufficient to meet the spirit, purpose, and intent of the buffer rule around this high ground marina basin. Staff agrees that granting this variance would secure the public's safety and welfare by not only protecting the public's resources through an innovative stormwater design, but by providing safe and reliable access to the facility and the island itself. Granting the variance would also allow the Petitioner to proceed with the overall basic design for the high ground marina basin that was originally designed and permitted in 1996. The permit originally authorized two sides of the marina basin buffer to be completely impervious. Allowing for the construction of the platforms and the road with an associated innovative design to address water quality runoff would preserve substantial justice. 13 of 14 CRC-VR-09-01 ATTACHMENT D (Petitioner's Variance Request and Other Exhibits) 14 of 14 CRC-VR-09-01 DCM FORM 11 CAMA VARIANCE REQUEST DCM FILE NO. 91-96 (revised 6/26/06) (; "' RECE' D Petitioner supplies the following information: N.C.

X_ yes (You may proceed with a request for a variance.) What did you seek a permit to do? 1. To have an 8-foot wide paved access road with a turnaround for emergency vehicles and harbormaster access to the end of the Deep Point Marina, within the 30' marina buffer. Drawing DPM-6 2. To have five 20'x 28' wooden landings (platforms), one each at the tops of the ramps leading to A, B, C, D & F Docks of the recreational portion of the 100 slip marina. This size is requested to allow for space for "raccoon proof' garbage receptacles, dock cart storage, ring buoy storage, a bike rack, and proper space for handicap turnaround without encroaching on the continuous flow of pedestrian traffic on the already approved parallel to bulkhead 6' wood walkway. Drawing DPM-4 3. To have an 8' x 20' V-shaped marina entrance sign, north of the Deep Point Manna entrance channel, in the waters of the Cape Fear River, landward of a line between the end of the ADM Pier and the Deep Point Jetty (waterward) end. Drawing DPM-5 What Coastal Resources Commission rule(s) prohibit this type of development? 1. 15A NCAC 07H.0209(d)(10) (A) Private Roads that are non -water dependent within 30 of normal high water; 2. 15A NCAC 07H.0209(d)10) (F) Decks/Observation Decks limited to slatted, wooden, elevated, and unroofed decks that shall not singularly or collectively exceed 200 square feet. 3. 15A NCAC 07H.0208(a)(1) "Uses which are not water dependent shall not be permitted in coastal wetlands, estuarine waters and public trust areas" and 15 NCAC 07H.0208(a)(2)(b) "Before receiving approval for location of a use or development within these AFC's, the permit - letting authority shall find that no suitable alternative site or location outside of the AEC Exists for the use or development," Can you redesign your proposed development to comply with this rule? no_ If your answer is no, explain why you cannot redesign to comply with the rule. Actually this is best expressed as a qualified "no" when viewed in context. The marina is home to the Bald Head Island Passenger Ferries and the tug/barge service to the island. Limited is already well into development and construction of the recreational marina; and some passenger (contractor) operations have been operating out of Deep Point since 2001. The barge service to the island has been operating out of the marina entrance channel berth since 2000, and prior to that was operating off the beach -head on the site since 1996. This has been accomplished pursuant to the original permit and a number of renewals and minor modifications occurring since 1996. We believe that the best, most reasonable and safest use of the marina, including the recreational portion of the marina, can be accomplished pursuant to the designs and structures sought by this variance request. We also believe that the rules should not be strictly applied in this instance because of the unique characteristics of this property and indeed all large marinas. As discussed infra., we contend that the spirit of CAMA and its rules and regulations is fully served by this request. Can you obtain a permit for a portion of what you wish to do? __yes_ If so, please state what the permit would allow. A number of what the applicant has identified as Marina Necessities/Accessories have already been approved. And, as stated the general marina permit has been issued since 1996, However the three matters at issue under this request have been denied by DCM rulings. In this instance we believe that the access surface, size of decks and landings, and signage location are important stand alone issues; although integral to overall design and marina operations. State with specificity what you are NOT allowed to do as a result of the denial of your permit application. It will be assumed that you can make full use of your property, except for the uses that are prohibited as a result of the denial of your permit application. 1. We will not have safe access for emergency vehicles along the major docks. 2. The top of ramp dock landings will be undersized for safe usage of the marina. 3. Place the marina entrance sign in a location that is visible from both the north and south approaches from the Cape Fear River to the marina, considering the visual obstructions from the ADM fixed pier and the entrance to the adjacent NC State Ferry landing at Prices Creek. RESPOND TO THE FOUR STATUTORY VARIANCE CRITERIA: I. Identify the hardship(s) you will experience if you are not granted a variance and explain why you contend that the application of this rule to your property constitutes an unnecessary hardship. [The North Carolina Court of Appeals has ruled that this factor depends upon the unique nature of the property rather than the personal situation of the landowner. It has also ruled that financial impact alone is not sufficient to establish unnecessary hardship, although it is a factor to be considered. The most important consideration is whether you can make reasonable use of your property if the variance is not granted. [Williams v. NCDENR, DCM, and CRC,144 N.C. App. 479,548 S.E.2d 793 (2001).] In general we believe that application of the cited rules constitutes an unnecessary hardship because the rules do not appear to address facts and characteristics inherent to this property and project, or for that matter any sizeable commercial/recreational marina. The rules, although thoughtfully drafted, are directed at individual piers, docks and related structures such as are customarily built on residential lots or smaller tracts. This quite naturally might lead to hardship in cases such as the one that is the subject of this request involving a 100 slip facility. The thirty foot high water set back became effective after the marina was designed and initially permitted in 1996. The original design for the marina was largely driven by the characteristics of the property, and these are the characteristics which CAMA took into account when issuing the permit. The 8' wide paved surface is meant as a safety/access road surrounding the recreational portion of the marina running from the Harbormaster's Office to the northeast end of the marina (F-Dock) at the entrance channel bulkhead. The distance from the Harbormaster's Office to this point is approximately one quarter of a mile. One of the principal purposes of this surface is to allow access for fire and other emergency vehicles; including equipment that would be employed in order to contain a fuel or hazmat spill. In addition, the first CAMA permit for the Deep Point site issued before the marina was constructed tasked Limited to assure adequate trash pickup to keep the waters of the marina clean. Our plans call for the Harbormaster to use electric golf carts or similar vehicles for daily trash pickups. Servicing the numerous trash receptacles that surround the marina as well as garbage generated by recreational use is better accomplished by this means, which in turn serves the original intent at the time of permitting, as well as preventing degradation of the adjacent waters and land within the AEC. At the time the marina was originally sited/permitted in 1996 there was not an issue with placing the minimal width paved surface between the adjacent wetland and the marina bulkhead. The property has not changed; nor has the concept for the marina. The paved access surface will facilitate a limited and defined use that will occur behind a substantial bulkhead within the marina confines. When one considers that this use is being made in the interest of safety and the environmental objectives upon which CAMA is in part premised, we submit that it does become the reasonable use for the property and to do otherwise becomes a hardship per se. Continuing in this regard we suggest that the 200 sq ft dock landing limitation is more appropriate for an individual residential dock and landing constructed on an individual lot. Deep Point Marina is both a commercial and recreational 100 slip marina. There are five docks servicing six to seventeen slips served by each of the proposed wooden landings. If the rule is applied as currently cited only 40 sq ft is allowed for each landing. Handicap turn around space (5' diameter circle) alone requires 20 sq ft of clear space at the top of each ramp. By way of further illustration, if one allocates the total decks and landings square footage herein requested among all the boat slips the area allocable to each slip is well below the regulatory limitation. Eighty individual piers or docks would arguably qualify for a total of 16,000 square feet of deck or landing space. However, these five landings will occupy only 3,000 square feet, or less than 40 square feet per each boat accommodated, well below the 200 square foot total contained in the rule. It is only in the aggregate that an issue arises; but no provision is made in the rule for this circumstance. We believe that a marina such as this, permitted, constructed and operated under a comprehensive plan better accomplishes the regulatory intent of CAMA. The applicant's total use of the property becomes reasonable in fact because more citizens can make use of the coastal environment via a facility that has less total impact upon the AEC. Since strict application of the rule will not allow this result, it can only be reasonably concluded that an unnecessary hardship exists by virtue of the application of the rule. Turning to our request with regard to the location of marina signage, we believe that a variance is justified because the current ruling of the DCM fails to take into account the unique circumstances that arise at this project and property, which it turn produces an unnecessary hardship. Approaching the marina property from the northeast boaters traveling the Cape Fear River/ICW encounter the lengthy Archer Daniels Midlands (ADM) pier, Price's Creek (the inlet on which the terminal for the Southport -Fort Fisher Ferry is located) and then Limited's Deep Point Marina within a distance of 3000 feet. Approaching from the southwest, the Deep Point Marina, Price's Creek and the ADM pier are still prominent navigational features; and below the Deep Point Marina are a number of lengthy private piers and small inlets. Even using charts, GPS and Plotters, which many recreational boaters carry today, the features near the property can be confusing. This possibility is all the more likely at night or during reduced visibility because all of these features are marked by the standard red and green lighted markers. The ADM facility is purely commercial and handles larger sea going vessels. The car ferries that operate in and out of Price's Creek are sizeable and have little room to maneuver in that inlet. We believe that placement of the Deep Point Marina sign as requested will reduce the likelihood of confusion when identifying the marina entrance from among all these features. This in turn will help avoid potential safety issues if pleasure boaters were to encounter commercial vessels because of a mistake in locating the marina entrance. With safety and the avoidance of confusion being the primary concerns we seek to address via this request, we suggest that placement of the sign as requested becomes, in part, the reasonable use of the property. We also note that the Army Corps of Engineers does not object to this request. II. Describe the conditions that are peculiar to your property (such as location, size, and topography), and cause your hardship. Deep.Point Marina is situated along the Cape Fear River/Intracoastal Waterway, at -the north end of Southport, adjacent to'the NC Southport -Fort Fisher State Ferry Site at the end of NC Route 211/Ferry Road. The 78 acre site was purchased in 1996 in order to provide sufficient parking capacity for future build out of Bald Head Island and to accommodate the corresponding demands for passenger ferry and barge operations. The marina basin was sited with much feedback from CAMA, and the entrance channel was shifted based on CAMA recommendations. The final siting was within approximately 25' of the east wall of the marina. We recall that at the time the 30' buffer restrictions were not in place. The Deep Point Marina Passenger Ferry Terminal has undergone much thought and planning as to staging passenger and baggage drop-off and pick-up. The Bald Head Island Ferry is now and will likely continue to be the largest passenger carrying operation in the state, conducting the most frequent passenger runs between destinations. The ferries are currently certified to carry 149 passengers and when the Deep Point facility is completed will be certified under US Coast Guard K-Boat requirements for the carriage of up to 230 passengers. As a consequence of this the property design and marina operation were driven by the need for a sizeable passenger ferry terminal, the design of which was independently influenced by Transportation Safety Administration and US Coast Guard requirements. While ferry operations do not directly necessitate this variance request, the needs and requirements of the Ferry Terminal were of prime importance in shaping the whole site. The recreational portion of the marina is located mostly on the southern end of the marina, instead of being wrapped around the whole marina as would usually be the case. We believe that the 80 boat slips at issue require sufficient access for safety vehicles and equipment; and that the decks and landings as requested are reasonable given this property and project. The location of the property, adjacent to the Southport -Fort Fisher ferry operation and ADM pier, and other existing piers and small inlets, is a condition peculiar to the Deep Point Marina that creates the hardship from the signage prospective. It is thus the comprehensive character this marina with the incorporated recreational component that constitutes conditions peculiar to the property which in turn cause the hardship under the rules as currently applied. III. Explain why your hardship does not result from actions that you have taken. With regard to the paved access to the marina slips we note that when the marina permit was issued in 1996 the 30' "buffer rule" was not in existence. Although there have been numerous minor permit modifications through the years the basic design, size and siting of the marina is the same as initially approved in 1996. It is the previously approved characteristics of design and siting that apparently have come into question under the current rules application, which in turn creates the hardship. It is impossible to shift the marina, and the space constraints due to the 404 wetland were not an issue when the manna was constructed. The Deep Point Manna is a comprehensive development providing for passenger ferry, cargo and recreational boater usage, constructed pursuant to an equally comprehensive matrix of permits and approvals. The design and engineering was determined by the characteristics of the site and best reasonable usage. We submit that the deck and . landing limitation was misapplied to this set of facts in that it does not address the attributes of a large marina. As we have shown supra, if this issue is approached from the standpoint of allocation of the total deck and landing area among the number of slips served the total square footage is well below that which would be permitted for this number of pier or dock users. In the case of our request regarding the location of the marina signage we note that these concerns arise because of the influences on this property from substantial neighboring commercial. and public transportation operations, matters that are completely separate from actions taken by the applicant. IV. Explain why the granting of the variance you seek will be consistent with the spirit, purpose, and intent of the CRC's rules, standards, or orders; preserve substantial justice; and secure public safety. The primary purpose of the requested paved access surface is to provide access for fire and emergency vehicles and transportation of equipment in the event of an emergency. In order to accomplish this purpose the surface must access all marina slips and run to the channel entrance bulkhead. These vehicles are heavy and are not particularly suited for travel on the sand based surface of the marina site generally. We submit that these concerns for safety are entirely consistent with the applicable rules, the underlying intent, and justice. The size (square footage) of the wood dock landings is based on the placement of items that are necessary for a safe and modem manna including life rings and lines, site lighting, bike racks, dock carts and suitable garbage receptacles. There is also a concern for ample space to accommodate handicap access. In addition, the total area of deck or landing space will be substantially less than would be allowable in the case of individual or smaller structures serving the same number of boaters. The minor changes sought pursuant to this variance request will have no conceivable adverse impact on water quality or the surrounding estuarine areas. In fact, to the extent that they facilitate better trash containment and collection they will prevent degradation of the surrounding waters. With regard to location of the marina signage we submit that our request falls largely in the realm of concern for public safety as it seeks to avoid confusion and potential encounters between commercial and private vessels/boaters. In addition, within the letter and spirit of the applicable rules mooring pilings and pilings used for navigational aids would likely be permitted; we believe that this use is similar in application. The changes requested will not expand the usage of the permitted area or enlarge the i development. They will, however, improve the use and enjoyment of this facility by members of the public; a facility which in and of itself will provide significant recreational access to these waters and surrounding coastal environments. Most importantly the changes will contribute to improved safety for those using the marina. _ Please attach copies of the following: Permit Application and Denial documents Site Drawing with Survey and Topographical Information Any letters filed with DCM or the LPO commenting on or objecting to your project Provide a numbered list of all true facts that you are relying upon in your explanation as to why you meet the four criteria for a variance.

This minor modification request is specifically for the 8' wide Fire Department/Emergency Vehicles access road along the south and east perimeters of the Deep Point Marina. Also included is one copy of Stormwater Drawing SW8-071004 Deep Point Marina Basin Low Density, seal dated 10-3-07, with DWO approval date 10-16-07. As shown on our detail, we are proposing an 8'wide safety/harbormaster access road to the north end of F-Dock. In our stormwater permit, we have 7100 sf of "sheets" approved for this purpose. The north end of F-Dock is approximately 850 If from the already CAMA approved turnaround at the restaurant entrance. It is also approximately a quarter of a mile to the Harbormoster Office. Hopefully it will never need to be used for its intended purpose as a Fire/EMT Access Road, but 850 feet is a long way to'lug hoses or a stretcher. I have seen the disasterous effects of boat fires, and I have had a couple of heart attacks myself. As a professional engineer, I do like to adhere to my duty to protect the health and safety of the people of the State of North Carolina. More and more so, we are required to follow the NFPA regulations relating to Marina Design. Ideally, this access road would be incorporated into our simultaneous DPM3 Marina Necessities/Amenities Request. We have separated it out per your recommendation as this separate DPM6 submission, with the understanding that you will be denying this request and requiring us to seek a variance from the CRC. Hopefully we can have staff recommendation that will allow us to successfully pursue obtaining a variance for what I consider a "marina necessity". As we have discussed many times in the past year since my first DMP3 Marino Necessities submission, the original CAMA permits for this marina date back to 1996. Rules at that time would not have precluded this road within 30' of the marina bulkhead. Additionally, the marina basin was sited specifically with.guidance from CAMA as to its final'locaifon to the wetland(s). We are constrained with a wetland as close as 25' to the bulkhead along F-dock, so feel that we should be allowed to implement our "road for safety" as shown. I am including a check for $100 for this "Minor Modification" request to CAMA Permit # 91-96. We would like to be scheduled for the variance as soon as possible, and want to mention that we would also like for DPM4 (Dock Landings) and DPM 5 (Marina„Entramag,Sign) also being submitted today to be scheduled for the same dote.

This minor modification request is specifically for appropriate sized dock landings at the top of the ramps to A, B, C, D & E/F docks. As shown on our detail, to have adequate space on these water dependent structures for raccoon proof trash enclosures, bicycle racks, dock cart storage as well as wheel chair turning radius not in the alignment of the 6' wood walkway, the necessary wood decked landing size is 20'x28' each. We sincerely believe that the CAMA regulation of 200 sf total of pervious wood dock landings is not appropriate for a 100 slip recreational/commercial marina project. Ideally, these 5 larger dock landings would be.incorporated into our simultaneous DPM3 Marina Necessities/Amenities Request. We have separated them out per your recommendation as this separate DPM4 submission, with the understanding that you will be denying this request and requiring us to seek a variance from the CRC. Since the state is looking for more water access for the people of the State of North Carolina, I hope that these appropriately sized marina dock landings will be looked on favorably. Building a new marina is difficult and expensive. This project has had a CAMA permit for 12 years, and we have yet to open up the recreational side of the marina. It would be a shame if all of the planning and development time has actually harmed us in trying to develop a world class marina in Southport, NC. An individual homeowner's permissible dock landing at 200 sf doesn't come close to having the space needs of recreational marina docks serving the boat owners, guests and trash of upwards of 20 boats per landing. Bald Head Island Limited, LLC has always done a tasteful and environmentally sensible job at its 2 other marinas (Bold Head Island and Indigo Plantation Marina). Hopefully we can have staff recommendation that will allow us to successfully pursue obtaining a variance for what I consider a "marina necessity". I have previously submitted BHI Planning Department check # 1322 for $100 for this "Minor Modification" request to CAMA Permit # 91-96.

This minor modification request is specifically for an in the water marina entrance sign. As shown on our detail, we are proposing an approximate 8'x20' 2-sided Vee-shaped in -the -water sign north of the Deep Point Marina north jetty, to the west of a fine between the north jetty end and the A.D.M. Pier end. This is outside of any navigation channel or route. I have given much consideration to this sign location, and based on the A.D.M. Pier location, a land based sign does not adequately project the marina message to vessels travelling southward down fhe Cape Fear.River. Placing the sign on one of the Deep Point Jetties would obscure the navigational lights on the jetty. Tucked behind the line between pier end and jetty end will not impact larger .vessels or non -local vessels navigation lines. It actually can be a good warning "sign" if someone inadvertently gets tucked in between the shore and the jetty end.

Box 3069 Bald Head Island, NC 28461 Dear Mr. MamL- This letter is in response to your two written requests, acting as authorized agent for Bald Head Island Limited, LLC, in which authorization is requested to modify LAMA Major Permit Number 9I-96, issued June 3, 1996 under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) and State Dredge and Fill law. The two requests were seeking authorization to construct an 8-foot wide paved access road located 6 feet landward of the wooden walkway at Deep Point Marina, a 28-foot x 28-foot paved turn -around at the northeastern end of the proposed paved access road, and secondly, five wood landings (platforms) at the dock entrances measuring 20 feet by 28 feet. Both requests were received by the Division -of Coastal Management July 9, 2008. Based. on the state's review, the Division of Coastal Management has made 'the following findings: 1) The proposed paved 8-foot wide access road and the 28 ft. x 28 ft. paved turn -around area would be located entirely. within 30 feet of the normal high waterline. 2) The five proposed 20 ft. x 28 ft. wooden. landings (platforms), totaling an area of 2,800 square feet, would be located entirely within 30 feet of the normal high water line and exceed the total allowable platform area of 200 square feet set forth in NCAC 07H.0209(d)(10). 3) Based upon the above referenced findings, the Division has determined that the proposed project (although requested via two letters dated July 8, 2008) is inconsistent with the following rules of the Coastal Resources Commission: a) 15A NCAC 07H.0209(d)(10), which states "Within the Coastal Shorelines category (estuarine and public trust shoreZ1neAECs), new development shall be located a distance of 30 feet landward of the normal water level or normal high water level, with the exception of the following: (A) Water dependenr uses as described in Rule 07H.0208(a)(J) of the Section;" 15A NCAC. 07H.0208 specifically lists private roads and parking areas as uses that are not water dependent. 400 Commerce Avenue, Morehead City, North Carolina 28567 Bald Head Island Limited, LLC August 28, 2008 Page 2 b) 15A NCAC 07H.0209(d)(10), which states "thin the Coastal Shorelines category (estuarine and public trust shoreline AECs), new development shall be located a distance of 30 fees landward of the normal water level or normal high water level, with the exception of the following. (F) Decks/Observation Decks limited to slatted, wooden, elevated and unroofed decks that shall not singularly of collectively exceed 200 square feet." The total combined area for the five proposed decks totals 2,800 square feet, exceeding the allowable 200 square feet Given the preceding findings, it is necessary that your request for a modification of a CAMA Major Permit under the Coastal Area Management Act and State Dredge and Fill Law be denied This denial is made pursuant to N.C.G.S. 113A-120(a)(8) which requires denial for projects inconsistent with the state guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern or local land use plans. If you wish to appeal this denial, you are entitled to a hearing. The bearing will involve appearing: before an Administrative Law Judge who listens to evidence and arguments of both parties and then makes a recommendation to the Coastal Resources Commission. Your request for a hearing must be in the form of a written petition, complying with the requirements of § 150B of the General Statutes of North Carolina, and must be filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714, within twenty (20) days from the date of this letter. A copy of this petition should be filed with this office. Also, you are advised that as, long as this state permit denial stands, your project must be. deemed inconsistent with the N.C. Coastal Management Program, thereby precluding the issuance of federal permits for this project. The Federal Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) gives you the right to appeal this finding to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce within thirty days of receipt of this letter. Your appeal must be on the grounds that the proposed activity is (1) consistent with the objectives or purposes of the CZMA, or (2) is necessary in the interest of national security, and thus, may be federally approved.

NC 28461 Dear Mr. Marek: This letter is in response to your written request, acting as authorized agent for Bald Head Island Limited, LLC, in which authorization was requested to modify CAMA Major Permit Number 91-96 under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). Authorization was requested to construct an 8-foot by 20-foot V-shaped sign to be located in the waters of the Cape Fear River north of the Deep Point Marina enhance channel. This minor modification request was received by the Division of Coastal Managements Wilmington regional office on July 9,12008. Based on the state's review, the Division of Coastal Management has made the following findings: 1) The proposed sign would be located in both Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Areas of Environmental Concern. 2) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had no objection to the proposed project 3) Signs of this nature are considered non -water dependent structures. Furthermore, the Division of Coastal Management believes that a feasible high ground alternative location for this sign exists. 4) Based upon the above referenced findings, the Division has determined that the -proposed project is inconsistent e f with the following rules oNhoastal Resources Commission: a) ISA NCAC 07H.0208(axl), which states "Uses. which are not water dependent shall not be permitted in coastal wetlands estuarine waters, and public trust areas.- and b) 15A NCAC 07H.0208(a)(2)(b), which states "Before receiving approval for location ofa use or development within these AECs, the permit -letting authority shall find that no suitable alternative site or location outside of the AEC exists for the use or development.

Box 3069 Bald Head Island, NC 28461 910-457-7517 October 1, 2008 Ms. Heather Coats NCDENR Division of Coastal Management 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405 Re: CAMA Permit #91-96 Minor Modification Request: Deep Point Marina, Southport, NC Marina Necessities & Amenities per Drawing DPM3 Rev 8: 10-1-08 Includes Typical Marina Necessities within the 30' Marina Buffer and Necessities/Amenities within the 75' Marina AEC Dear Ms. Coats Included are five 24" x 36" copies of drawing DPM3 Rev 8 dated & sealed 8-18-08, for the Bald Head Island Limited, LLC owned Deep Point Marina. Note that my first submittal for this Necessities & Amenities project was submitted July 9, 2007. With subsequent drawing revisions dated 9-4-07, 12-6-07, and 1-21-08, 4-24-08, 5-15-08, 7-8-08 & 8-18-08 based on your comments. I believe that I have finally removed all marina necessity items that you felt would delay us obtaining this minor modification. We are already working on a variance request for some of those items I have previously submitted a 24" x 36" copy of approved Low Density Deep Point Marina Ared Stormwaier Permit #SW8-071004 for your reference. If includes all of the over land impervious items that I am asking for, as well as an additional 752 sf of "miscellaneous other" in case final transformer pads, electrical kiosks, storage shed entry pads, etc. needs to be slightly larger than our first estimates. Also, at this time we are only asking for CAMA permission for one of our two Stormwoter permitted 526 sq it impervious gazebo/pergolas (N). I had one in the 30' buffer for stormwater, which I have eliminated per your comments. My 2/25/2000 and 7/9/07 Deep Point Marina and Slip layout drawings were approved only for slip layout, and did not include all of the marina necessary items that ended up as multiple Letters of Refinement and Minor Modifications at Bald Head Island Marina (CAMA#172-87) and Indigo Plantation Marina (CAMA #41-85). The intent of this minor modification is to get one approval for the numerous items around the recreational part of the marina in one minor modification. On drawing DPM3, buildings and the 6' wide wood boardwalk around the marina perimeter that are already CAMA permitted based on the original permtt and other minor modifications are so indicated. The benefit of being involved in the design/engineering of 3 marinas for the some client, Bold Head Island Limited. LLC, means that by this third marina we have a pretty good idea of all of the water dependent necessities and amenities that need to be built at a marina. Below is a list of items. Designations start with Letter A. On the drawling(s) requested items are in red. A. Slip width change to slip F20 for use as a catamaran slip (50' x 36' width): this involved a slight shift and reconfiguration of slips F12 thru F20, without any increase in number of slips. Revised layout is shown in red in the marina basin; existing permitted layout is shown in a black & white detail mid -left on the drawing. B. Harbormaster Storage Sheds (4): 144 sq ff roof area each (100 sf building footprint) accessory structures. All are now outside of the 30' buffer, but within the 75'AEC. B1 is between the harbormaster office and the fuel dock (A -Dock). B2 & 63 are near the gazebo/pergola N, and B4 is near the "crofters" Ql &Q2. An impervious entry pad of 40 sq it is associated with each of these sheds. CAMA Permit #91-96 Marina Necessities/Amenities Minor Modification Request Rev 8 I0-1-08 C. Wood Dock Landings (51: Within fhe marina buffer, at the top of each of 5 ramps at A, B, C, D & E/F. To be built at 40 sf each (in 2 pieces), connected to the 6' wide previously permitted wood boardwalk. This totals the allowable per marina 200 sf of landing CAMA Limit. Note that this amours of landing does not allow sufficient area for trash cans, dock cart storage, bike racks, etc. D. Ramps from landings to the Floating Docks (8). 4'-6" wide x 26'+/- Aluminum Ramps. Six are shown at the recreational port of the marina and designated D-1 thru D-6, and two are shown at the ferry maintenance dock. I always assumed romps as part of permitted slip layout drawings(s), but I have not found ramps specifically mentioned in our permits. Please include in this minor mod if necessary. E. Electrical Transformers/Junction Enclosures/pads (5J shown: Electrical engineer/power company will decide final locations based on wiring path(s) available. Assumption is to have a transformer or junction enclosure within 25' to 50' of the electrical panels. Along with transformers is the underground electrical wiring necessary to power the transformers, and all service wiring. Stormwater permit is for 64 sf of transformer pads. Pads will be based on electric company enclosure sizes, estimated at 6 sf for small enclosures and 12 sf +/- for larger enclosures F. Electrical Kiosks (8): for the electrical power panels, these marina dependent panel backboards are shown within the 30' marina buffer with approx 48 sf roof area each. The storrnwater permit includes 385 sf of electrical panel roofs. We do not know yet if A -Dock will require I or 2 panel boards. Note that the electrical panels need to be accessed to reset circuit breakers. The roofs are a life safety feature to protect the workers from rain. G. Marina Holding Tank Pump Out Shore Side Tank: This is a pump station for the A -Dock (fuel dock) holding lank pump out. There is already an additional pump out permitted for the ferries in the marine maintenance area. H. Pump Out Station: This is the dock component on A -Dock to shore side tank/pump G I. Fish Cleaning Station (1): Aluminum or stainless steel, cantilevered from wood boardwalk, between A -Dock & B-Dock along walkway. - J. Dockmaster/Fuel/Ice Sales Screened Gazebo: (1) At A-Dock/Fuel Dock end in slip A6. Approx 12' x 20' footprint/screened area (no fixed walls). 14' x 22' with roof overhangs. Having attendant location near the pumps for busy summer season is desirable from a safety & turnaround standpoint. K. Fuel dispensers and hose reels indicated on the fuel dock (A -Dock). There will also be an isolation/ transfer box near the top and the bottom of the A -dock ramp, in order to shut-off fuel to the dock in storm conditions. Fuel piping will be double wall piping per UST regulations. Fuel lines and valves will run underground through both the Marina buffer and the 75' marina AEC. Note: Fuel tank location for the 12,000 gal diesel tank and the 8000 gallon gasoline tank and the vent piping are outside of the AEC, in the turnaround south of the harbormaster office, and are already in our CAMA Permit. L Wood Handicap Ramp (Labeled in Red, drawn in black): L1 is from between the B Dock & C Dock Landings up to the Harbor Master Office/the marina parking turnaround. This wood handicap compliant ramp has the required ADA landings every 30' and is shown of a 1 V:12H slope. Due to FEMA Flood Zone Regulations, the Harbormaster Office (Finished Floor Elevation 13.0) is raised on a plateau above the marina bulkhead cap (Elevation 6.1'+/-). The handicap ramp is required for the vertical rise due: to the 4' retaining wall in front of the Harbor Master Office and Retail Space. M. Over -The -Water 16'xl6' Roofed Gazebo/8'x17' Wood Platform/Landing. The end of F- Dock is over a quarter of a mile from the Harbormaster office. This roofed, open air structure will have bench seats which will provide for respite from rain or sun, with alignment as shown. CAMA Permit #91-96 Marina Necessities/Amenities Minor Modification Request Rev 8 10-1-08 2 N. Gazebo/Pergola similar to the pictured gazebo/pergola at Bald Head Island Marina. N is outside of the Marina Buffer but inside of the 75' Marina AEC. It has 526 sq It of roof (22'x24'+/-)_ Deck size is 24'x42'. A pervious "pergola" area covers the unroofed portion. Stormwater permit is for two such structures at 526 sf of impervious each = 1052 sf, but we have reduced our CAMA request to just one at this time. O. Pool & Pool Deck outside of the 30' Marina Buffer, but within the 75'AEC. 1500 sf impervious is in Stormwater Permit SW8-071004 for the Pool Deck not under the roof line, with the pool size being approximately 34' x 48' (pools are considered pervious surfaces). Note that we have included a rendered detail of the Harbor Master Building showing pool and deck. There is an architectural pool "overflow" area along the east side of the pool, which is sited outside of the 30' marina buffer. P. Impervious Surfaces/Parking Pl-P3: Speckled red areas on the drawing. 7500 sf is Stormwater Permitted as "parking". It is all shown outside of the 30' marina buffer, with the majority within the 75' AEC. Part of P2 is outside of 75'. P3 is a 20'x20' impervious pad between crofters Q1 & Q2, with some of the area underneath the croffer decks. Q. Crofters (2): These are outside of the 30' Marina buffer, but within the 75' Marina AEC. Ql has a Stormwater permitted 510 sf roofed area and A2 has 600 sf roofed area. These 2-3 story crofters are Bald Head Island style small buildings with living or office space above a break -away walled garage. Shown with 8' wide decks around perimeters of buildings (assumed 2' roof overhangs, thus decking shown as 6' outside of roof edges. Architectural styling is not complete, so roof shapes may change.. R. Wetland Boundary Fence/Bench/Knee wall. Please note that there is a 404 wetland indicated the east of the E &F-dock bulkheads. This constrains our useful area along this side. In order to protect the wetland area, we have provided on the drawing a detail showing a sloppy vee/6x6 post knee wall, with 3"x10" horizontal cop, all with ground contact treated lumber. We have now limited this "knee wall" to the areas outside of the 30' marina buffer. - In addition to the above listed Items, the following three items which are so closely related to the water dependent needs of the marina but don't seem to be listed in other CAMA permits are the following utilities. I include them if you feel the need to specifically list them in this minor modification. 1. Telephone, Cable TV & DSL service lines & junction boxes, underground sewer & fuel lines.. Location of lines: inside of the 30' marina buffer, with appropriate utility separations and depths. 2. Installation of a water/fire main(s), service laterals and hydrants and/or fire standpipes. North Carolina building code has adopted several of the NFPA Fire Codes, with which we need to comply as appropriate to provide adequate levels of fire/life safety. Included in water service lines are landscape irrigation lines (with valve boxes), and any required back -flow preventers. 3. Site Lighting: for the boardwalks, dock landings, etc. I have previously submitted a Bald Head Island Planning Department check for $100 for "Minor Modification" to CAMA Permit # 91-96 for Marina Necessities/Accessories.

Box 3069 Bald Head Island, NC 28461 910-457-7517 January 21; 2008 Ms. Heather Coats NCDENR Division of Coastal Management 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405 Re: CAMA Permit #91-96 Minor Modification Request: Deep Point Marina, Southport, NC Marina Necessities & Amenities per Drawing DPM-3 Rev 1.21-08 Includes Typical Marina Necessities/Ammenities within the 30' Marina Buffer and/or 75' Marina AEC. Acceptance of new SW8- 071004 Deep Point Marina Basin Low Density Stormwater Permit for impervious surfaces of the above items. Dear Ms. Coats: Enclosed, please find five 24" x 36" copies of drawing DPM-3 Rev 3 dated & sealed 1-21-08, for the Bald Head Island Limited, LLC owned Deep Point Marina. I have previously also submitted; copies of State Stormwater Permit SW8-071004 with drawing dated & sealed 10-3-07 and DWQ approved 10-16- 07. Note that my first submittal for the Necessities & Amenities drawing was submitted July 9, 2007. This latest revision incorporates your & Doug Huggett's recent comments. I have moved the 4 proposed harbormaster sheds (8) out of the 30' marina buffer. I have also totally removed the Pergola/ Gazebo(D2) that was in the marina buffer near the north end of F-Dock. I have per our discussions added three over the. water 16'x16' roofed gazebos (with storage benches) as a place to escape rain/sun at both ends of F-Dock (01 & 02), and at the D-Dock to E-Dock landing (03). One Pergola/Gazebo (DI) remains outside of the 30' buffer, but within the 75' AEC. My 2/25/2000 and 7/9/07 Deep Point Marina and Slip layout drawings, did not include all of the marina necessary items that ended up as multiple Letters of Refinement and Minor Modifications at Bald Head Island Marina (CAMA#172-87) and Indigo Plantation Marina (CAMA #41-85). The intent of this minor modification is to get approval for these numerous items in one minor modification. On drawing DPM- 3, items that are already CAMA permitted based on the original permit and other minor modifications are shown in gray. The area for the Deep Pointy Marina Low Density Stormwater permit SW8-071006 is shaded in yellow. The already permitted 6' wood walkway is shown in brown, but the plotted brown came out very dark. We have used a blue roof for the crofters, sheds and electrical (roofed) kiosks. The benefit of being involved in the design/engineering of 3 marinas for the some client, Bald Head Island Limited, LLC, means that by this third marina we have a pretty good idea of all of the marine dependent necessities that need to be built at a first class marina. There may be some slight juggling of locations as the marina design evolves, but DPM-3 and the following lists are pretty well all-inclusive. I did do an enlarged detail of our proposed wood landings at the top of the various dock ramps. I have also included pictures of our typical dock carts (58"x32") and our raccoon -proof trash can enclosures (37"x36" ). Architectural Graphic Standards indicates a 5' manuevering area behind the back of a bike in a bike rack. Typical one person adult bikes are 5'-6" long. Thus, approximate 10'-6" x 8'-0"of space is needed for a 4-5 bike rack. I hope these details explain better the need for our requested wood landing sizes. Note that the travel path of the previously approved 6' wood walkway runs through the landing area. Below is a list of letter designated items. Designations start with Letter A CAMA Permit #91-96 Marina Necessities Minor Modification Request Rev 1-21-08 A. Crofters(2) These are outside of the 30' Marina buffer, but within the 75' Marina AEC. Al has a stormwater permitted 510 sf roofed area and A2 has 600 sf roofed area. Crofters are Bald Head Island style small buildings on piles with bedroom(s) or office space above a break -away walled garage. Part of possible storage scheme for the restaurant. With wood balconies, decks & stairs, footprint for each is approximately 800 sf. Included in the stormwater streets/parking allotment is a 20' x 20' parking pad. (One shed B1 is now shown at this location) 8. Harbormoster Storage Sheds (4): 12'xl2' max roof area each (100 sf building footprint) accessory structures. All are now outside of the 30' buffer, but within the 75'AEC. 81 is near the crofters. B2 & B3 are near the pergola/gazebo, and the fourth will be near the harbor master building. An impervious entry pad of approximate 40 sq ft is associated with each of these sheds. C. Electrical Kiosks (9): for the marina power panels, these panel backboards are roughly 4'-5'x8'-10' roof area, depending on the associated dock slips and power requirements. These are labeled Cl- C10: C9 is existing near the ferry slip position G1. Stormwater permit is for 385 sf of roof. There is an additional 752 sf of miscellaneous "other" impervious if needed. D. Pergolas/Gazebo similar to the pictured pergola/gazebo from Bald Head Island Marina along Keelson Row near the Sailing Clubhouse. D1 is outside of the Marina Buffer but inside of the 75' Marina AEC, near the restaurant. It is approximately 20' x 42', with roof area of 20'x20'. Stormwater permit is for two such pergola/gazebos at 526 sf of impervious each = 1052 sf. E. Electrical Transformers/Junction (6) Enclosures/pads shown: Electrical engineer/power company will decide final locations based on wiring path(s) available. Assumption is to have a transformer or junction enclosure within 25' to 50' of the electrical panel kiosks. Along with transformers is the underground electrical siring necessary to power the transformers, and all service wiring. Stormwater permit is -for 64 sf of transformer pads. There is an additional 752 sf of miscellaneous "other" impervious if needed. F. Fish Cleaning Station: With wood decking. Permit Request: 1, between A -Dock & B-Dock. G. Marina Holding Tank Pump -Out Stations: (2) One at A -Dock (fuel dock), and one for the ferries. The pump out for the ferries is already included in a prior minor mod for the site. It will most likely be near slip G4, but possibly at slip G1. At A -dock, G1 indicates the pump out station portion on the fuel dock, and G2 is indicating the landside tank/pump component. H. Dockmaster/Fuel Sales Office: (1) At A-Dock/Fuel Dock end in slip A6. Approx 14' x 20' building, 18' x 24' with overhangs. Picture shown is for similar structure at nearby Southport Marina. Fuel Sales office helps by having attendant at the pumps for busy summer season. Closely attended pumps is a plus for fuel spill prevention, and turnaround time is quicker/safer for the booting public. Spill prevention maierialsand fuel system monitors would be included in the dockmaster/fuel sales office H. We will seek a variance for this item if not approvable as drawn. J. J-Dock. A 250' x 8' wide dock along the north side of the southern marina entrance bulkhead. Bald Head Island Limited annually hosts one or two sailing regattas, and there is often a lack of slip space for the out of town trailerable and small crane launchable boats such as J-24's, Melges 24's and Ranger 22's. Likewise, in summer, this dock can be used by locals coming to the Marina Restaurant. During Spring and Fall, this provides us with transient overnight space for larger yachts awaiting a weather window. This 250' dock could berth 10 small boats or 2-3 megayachts. We are asking for 10 slip positions to be added for this "new" J-Dock. Additionally, one new slip x 50' is created at position F21 due to the geometry/location of J-Dock. We are thus asking for the addition of 11 slips to our existing 100 slip marina slip count for a total of 111 slips. K. Fuel dispensers and hose reels are indicated on the fuel dock (A -Dock). There will be an isolation/ transfer box somewhere near the top and the bottom of the A -dock ramp, in order to shut-off fuel to the dock in storm conditions. Fuel piping will, be double wall piping per UST regulations. Fuel lines and CAMA Permit ##91-96 Marina Necessities Minor Modification Request Rev 1-21-08 valves will run underground through both the Marina buffer and the 75' marina AEC. Note: Fuel tank location for the 12,000 gal diesel tank and the 8000 gallon gasoline tank and the vent piping are outside of the AEC, in the turnaround south of the harbormaster office. Modification request is for entire fuel system, tanks, monitor system, fuel lines, isolation/transfer boxes, dispensers and hose reels. Tanks themselves were also shown on a prior minor mod. L. Grill pad. Brick Pavers. One shown near north end of F-dock, outside of 30' marina buffer, inside of 75' AEC. Approximate 90 sf pavers. Approx 350 sf of woad deck w/wood bench seats and/or picnic tables. The impervious pad will be subtracted out of the 752 sf of miscellaneous "other" impervious. M. Marina Entrance Sign (1 Double Sided) 10'x20' solar lighted. An example is shown on the drawing of the Southport Marina sign. Similar level of information for Deep Point's accommodations and contact information. Shown north of the east end of the north jetty. Not sure if this is a CAMA jurisdictional item, or other reviewing agency. N. Wood Handicap Ramps 6' wide, Nl from A -Dock Landing to the Harbormaster Office and N2 from the D-Dock Landing to the Harbormaster/Retail Store area. Due to FEMA Flood Zone Regulations, the Harbormaster Office and Retail Store are on a plateau approximately 6' above the marina bulkhead cap. Plateau is created b a 4' high +/- retaining wall at 30' off of the bulkhead cop, just outside the marin buffer_ With a 1:12 grade of the soil coming off of the bulkhead to the waterside of the ramp 24' off of the wall, the ramps required vertical rise is approximately 4'. Maximum 1:12 slope, plus 6' flat landings every 32' of run are required. Wood decks outside of the marina buffer but inside the 75' AEC are shown at N1 & N2. O. Three over the water 16'x16' roofed gazebos (with storage benches) as a place to escape rain/sun at both ends of F-Dock (01 & 02), and at the D-Dock to E-Dock landing (03). Gazebo 01 is approximately'/. mile from the Harbor Master Building. Similar metal roof as pergola/gazebo DI, but with some sort of ornamental top. Below are the non -labeled Hems that may or may not need to be mentioned in the minor modification. They are so closely related to the marina usage that they seem obviously automatically included, but I don't want to miss anything. I mention them though for you to include on the minor modification if you feel it is necessary. 1. Land -side landings 7 landings/8 ramps for the recreational portion of the marina, and 2 landings/4 ramps for the ferry side of the marina. These are wood decking, and incorporate bulletin boards, bike racks, dock dolly storage, a life ring & fire extinguisher, garbage cans, etc. 20.'x28' landings are shown at A,B,C & D docks, with 12' x 20' landings at the other positions. We feel that these are appropriate sizes for safe access to the boating related activities of this marina. Over water gazebos 01-03 will be incorporated into the Landing/Ramp design. 2. Telephone, Cable TV & DSL service lines & junction boxes, Sewer Lines. Location of lines: inside of the 30' marina buffer, outside of the tieback deadmen, which are approximately 20' off the marina wall. 3. Installation of a 6" water/fire main with hydrants and/or fire standpipes. North Carolina building code has adopted NFPA 303 Fire Code, with which we need to comply as appropriate. 4. Site Lighting: Not sure if we will stick with the hangman's post type lighting poles, lighthouse topped bollard lighting and/or 8x8 wood post bollard lighting that are on the island or come up with a new style, but we will have a need for site lighting. Don't know if you care. Locations, tbd. S. Please note that there is a 404 wetland indicated approximately 25' to 30' east of much of the 450 If of the F-dock bulkhead. This constrains our useful area along this side. I anticipate some sort of wood bench/fence/wall type protection to keep people out of the 404. No definitive design has yet been proposed. CAMA Permit 491-96 Marina Necessities Minor Modification Request Rev 1-21-08 3 6. Impervious Parking & Pool Deck outside of the 30' Marina Buffer. Speckled Yellow area on the drawing. 1500 sf is Stormwater Permitted for the Pool Deck, and 7500 sf is permitted for Parking. Pool Deck is within the 75' AEC, and the parking is mostly within the 75' AEC. 7. Last, we request acceptance of the proposed 7100 sf of marina impervious path (appx 8.2' x 860 LF) for use as harbormaster access for trash pickup and for emergency vehicle access to the northern end of F-Dock. Due to site constraints of the 404 wetland, this path is shown within the 30' marina buffer. It is permitted under Low Density Stormwater Permit SW8-071004. Due to the very high infiltration rate of the surrounding sand soils (>20"/hr infiltration rates) runoff will not reach the marina. The harbormaster will, like on Bald Head, have a mini -truck or golf cart to service the docks/landings. Note that the marina location in 1996 was determined after several studies and multiple rounds of comments from CAMA and other review agencies. At that time, I do not believe there was a restriction on impervious surface for such access roads in the marina buffer. For safety of the public, having ambulance/fire truck/hazmat vehicle access to the marina end is well justified. We are asking for the narrowest of roads to meet both safety and marina trash collection functional requirements. As an engineer, I feel that this road is a reasonable design for safe water dependent use of the marina by the citizens of North Carolina. We will seek a variance for this item if not approvable as drawn. I have previously submitted a check for $100 for "Minor Modification" to CAMA Permit # 91-96 for Marina Necessities/Accessories. If you have any questions and/or comments, please call me at 910- 457-7517, 799-9245 or 228-2484. We will seek a variance for any item if not approvable as drawn. Additionally, when the minor mod is completed. please have copies faxed to 910-457-7463 & 457- 7220. Thanking you in advance for attention to this matter.

ZON� P 1 ^ DEEP POINT SOUMPOF CAMA9 0 IN RE: CAMA VARIANCE REQUEST (CRC-VR-09-01) BALD HEAD ISLAND LIMITED, LLC (Applicant) SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF BALD HEAD ISLAND LIMITED, LLC This Supplemental Statement is offered on behalf of Bald Head Island Limited, LLC in support of its Variance Request originally served on January 13, 2009. The initial Variance Request in addition to all supporting statements, stipulations, documents, and exhibits are incorporated by reference. However, the applicant has decided to voluntarily withdraw item No. 3 from its original Request wherein it sought a variance with regard to placement of its marina entrance sign. This Variance Request was. originally docketed for hearing before the Coastal Resources Commission on February 12, 2009, but was continued by agreement between counsel for the Applicant and the Attorney General's Office. Subsequent to February IP representatives for the Applicant and members of Division of Coastal Management Staff have met and conducted a number of discussions with regard to the two remaining items within the Variance Request: (I) that Applicant be allowed to construct an 8-foot wide paved access road with turnaround space for use by its marina management and to allow emergency vehicle access to a portion of its marina that is within the 30-foot marina buffer; and (2) that it be allowed to construct five 20 by 28 foot wooden landings atop the access ramps within its 100 slip marina. These discussions have been cordial and productive. However DCM Staff believe that the Request for Variance should proceed for hearing and the Applicant and Staff do not have an agreement at this point. DCM Staff has suggested that the Applicant submit the following supplemental comments as a follow up to the discussions between the parties, addressing site specific stormwater considerations including efforts to minimize impacts with innovative approaches. Bald Head Island Limited's Deep Point Marina, located in Southport NC, was originally p ermitted on June 3, 1996 as LAMA Permit No. 91-96 and referred to at the time as the "Pfizer Tract." A site plan revision dated February 15, 1996 subsequently became the site drawing. The site plan, original application cover letter, DCM Form M0-3 and original Permit are attached hereto. Original exhibits No. 9 (DPM-4) and 11 (DPM-6) have been combined into a drawing dated April 14, 2009 (also attached) which depicts variance items requested in red, existing development in black, and permitted but not yet constructed items in blue. A detail of the road cross section in relation to the 30 foot marina buffer showing typical road slope away from the marina is included on this drawing. As stated in the attached cover letter dated October 16, 1995, this marina project was to be a phased development over a period of years. Per Form MP-3 the Permit allowed 112,900 square feet of impervious surface within the 75 foot AEC. (At that time there was no requirement for the 30 foot marina buffer.) The south and west sides of the marina were depicted as 100% impervious coverage within 30 feet of the marina. Applicant submits that the requested access road and marina landings (if included) will yield an impervious coverage of 91,000 square feet, well below the permitted AEC impervious limitation of 112, 900 square feet. Bald Head Island Limited believes that the five marina landings should be considered water dependent necessities. DCM has declined this interpretation. However, Applicant submits that if both the landings and access road are evaluated in the context of the total originally permitted impervious coverage and stormwater characteristics at this site granting of the variances is warranted. Limitation of impervious coverage to the least amount reasonably required is a major way to satisfy stormwater concerns_ Bald Head Island Limited has extensive experience in the construction of minimally invasive roads given to the use of golf carts as the means of personal transportation on its Bald Head Island development The requested eight foot surface honors that approach, while recognizing that a minimum amount of surface rigidity is required to support heavy emergency vehicles. (Use of turf stone or grass pavers was considered but rejected in light of this need.) However, the surrounding natural sands are capable of infiltrating water at a rate of 20 inches per hour. The proposed road detail calls for a cross -slope road surface which diverts rainfall away from the marina. NPDES Phase E Stormwater Rules focus on a 1 %s inch storm event. In the case of an 8 foot wide road this amounts to 1 cubic foot of rain water per foot of road. The rock base plus asphalt pavement will place the road surface at, ` approximately 5 inches above natural grade. A 2 foot wide area of flat ground with a 3 horizontal to 1 vertical foot side slope to the road is sufficient to hold the 1 cubic foot of water, but it would infiltrate into the ground more quickly than it could build up. We submit that infiltration is sufficient to control a 100 year 24 hour storm (.61 inches per hour of intensity) whereas requirements are only for the 1 year 24 hr storm event (.15 inches per hour of intensity). In recent years the State has encouraged infiltration type systems including infiltration basins, bio-retention basins, and rain gardens. In this case the soils are of a quite porous sandy nature such that even the naturally vegetated road shoulder will control the 1 %2 inch rain event The area around the marina has a low density stormwater permit (SW8-071004) which does not require additional treatment. We also plan a 3 foot buffer between the marina bulkhead and the 6 foot perimeter boardwalk, planted with native grasses and wildflowers. In the larger context the Applicant has made other efforts to minimize stormwater impacts. The main parking area was originally permitted for 22 acres of clear cut parking sheet flowing to a wet pond, but now will utilize a number of treed infiltration basins which add aesthetics and take advantage of the natural properties of the sandy soil. Many mature trees have been transplanted as opposed to removed. The site and marina pump out station were originally permitted for septic system, however pursuant to agreements with the City of Southport sewer lines have been constructed allowing access to a waste water treatment plant. In summary Bald Head Island Limited believes that the marina structures that are the subject of this Variance Request constitute site impervious coverage that is significantly below (201/6) the amount originally permitted, while improving overall safety and operation of the marina. The minimal width access road, designed with a high infiltration rate into naturally vegetated sandy soils, presents minimal and entirely acceptable impacts upon the adjacent waters in line with both the letter and spirit of applicable regulations.

Emory, Jr., Chairman of CRC, electronically l STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF BRUNS WICK IN THE MATTER OF: ) PETITION FOR VARIANCE BY ) BALD HEAD ISLAND LIMITED, LLC ) BEFORE THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL RESOURCES COMMISSION CRC-VR-09-01 FINAL ORDER This matter was heard on oral arguments and stipulated facts at the regularly scheduled meeting of the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission (hereinafter CRC) on April 29, 2009, in Beaufort, North Carolina pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 113A-120.1 and 15A NCAC 7J.0700, et sea. Assistant Attorney General Christine A. Goebel appeared for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management (DCM); George Fletcher, Esq. of Fletcher, Ray, Satterfield, LLP appeared on behalf of Petitioner, Bald Head Island Limited, LLC. Upon consideration of the record documents and the arguments of the parties, the CRC adopts the following: STIPULATED FACTS 1. Bald Head Island Limited, LLC (Petitioner) has been the owner and developer of Bald Head Island since 1984. Bald Head Island was originally comprised of approximately 12,000 acres of land and estuarine marsh. The actual development on the Island consists of approximately 2,000 acres with the balance having been donated to the state of North Carolina for conservation purposes. 2. Plans call for a total of approximately 2,000 dwelling structures when Island build -out is completed, with the vast majority of those structures being single family and cluster single 1 family homes. 3. In addition to visits by homeowners Bald Head Island receives thousands of annual visitors who rent vacation accommodations, visit the Old Baldy Lighthouse and participate in the programs of the Bald Head Island Conservancy. All of those individuals are transported through the existing Indigo Plantation Marina; however, these operations will be transferred to the Deep Point Marina in early summer of 2009. The entire Deep Point project totals seventy eight acres and will accommodate parking for 3,000 vehicles. According to records maintained by Petitioner, in excess of 300,000 annual passenger trips are taken on ferries operated by the applicant. 4. With the exception of limited access by private boat, all persons, supplies, and materials are delivered to Bald Head Island by passenger ferries owned and operated by Petitioner or barge service provided by Petitioner. The ferry is the principal means of evacuation for persons involved in medical emergencies. Passenger ferry operations are regulated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission. 5. The property immediately at issue is nine acres on which has been developed the Deep Point Marina. This development has taken place under the authority of CAMA Major Permit Number 91-96, issued on June 3, 1996, The marina bulkhead and entrance channel were completed in 2000. Since this completion, barge service and contractor/employee ferry operations have taken place from Deep Point. Ferry passengers currently utilize an existing covered landing dock and related walkways. 6. Petitioner is nearing completion of its new Deep Point passenger terminal, a multi -level 40,000 square foot structure authorized under Permit 91-96. Much of the design and ultimate 2 function of the terminal was dictated by the requirements of the Transportation Safety Administration in the areas of passenger, baggage and staging security. 7. Deep Point passenger operations will primarily utilize Petitioner's two eighty-two foot passenger catamaran ferries. When placed in service at total capacity these vessels will have US Coast Guard K-boat certification enabling them to carry 230 passengers per trip. Currently these vessels are certified to carry 149 passengers per trip. 8. Petitioner is currently completing development of an 80 slip marina within a large portion of the Deep Point marina basin. The entire marina, including ferry and other commercial operations, will accommodate 100 slips. There is ajetty wall on the south shore. 9. The items sought through this present variance request pertain only to the recreational marina located generally southwest of the marina entrance and south jetty wall. 10. Pursuant to requests dated July 8, 2008 Petitioner initially sought: (a) a minor modification of Permit 91-96 to allow it to construct an eight -foot wide paved access surface approximately 12 feet waterward of the normal water level within the thirty foot normal high water line, approximately a quarter mile in length, and approximately six -feet landward of the permitted six-foot wooden walkway that surrounds the recreational marina now under development. This was also to include a single 28 by 28 ft. paved tum-around area. (b) a minor modification of Permit 91-96 to allow it to construct five (5) 20 by 28 ft. landings (platforms) at the tops of the ramps, within 30 feet of the normal water level, that allow access to the five floating pier or dock structures within the recreational marina, identified as Docks A, B, C, D, and E/F. (c) a minor modification of Permit 91-96 to allow construction of a Deep Point Marina 3 entrance sign out in the water as depicted on drawing DPM-5. 11. Pursuant to a letter dated August 28, 2008, the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) denied the request for minor permit modification to allow the construction of the paved access surface and the tum-around area finding that it was to be located within the 30-foot Coastal Shoreline buffer inconsistent with 15A NCAC 07H.0209(d) (10); and also denied the request for minor permit modification to allow construction of five 20 by 28 ft. wooden landings or platforms at the tops of the dock access ramps within the 30-foot Coastal Shoreline buffer, based on a determination that the total square footage of the five structures was 2,800 square feet and thus in excess of the 200 feet allowed under 15A NCAC 07H.0209 (d)(10). 12. Pursuant to a letter dated December 5, 2008, DCM denied the request for a minor permit modification to allow placement of marina signage in the Public Trust Areas and Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern, due to three main reasons: the sign was considered a non -water dependent structure; a feasible high ground alternative location existed; and the proposed project was inconsistent with 15A NCAC 07H.0208(a)(1) and 15A NCAC 07H.0208(a)(2)(b). During the course of the review of the in -water sign request, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers indicated that they did not object to the proposed project. 13. Petitioner has now voluntarily withdrawn its original request for a variance for the placement of proposed marina signage in the Public Trust Areas and Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern. 14. The paved surface (road) requested by applicant runs from the Harbormaster's Office around the recreational marina to the entrance channel bulkhead a total distance of one -quarter of a mile. 4 15. Each of the five landings or platforms requested at the tops of the dock access ramps measures 20 by 28 ft. or 560 square feet, for a total area of 2,800 square feet. 16. The five landings or platforms requested will serve the six docks (A through F) and the number of slips (individual boat or vessel moorings) shown adjacent to the following dock designation: A Dock 6 slips B Dock 17 slips C Dock 19 slips D Dock 11 slips E/F Dock 27 slips (total) These existing docks have been used since 2000. 17. The Deep Point marina was originally sited and permitted in 1996, at which point in time the thirty foot buffer did not exist. Marina site clearing and excavation began in 1997 and 1998. 18. Under DCM Form MP-3 and the original CAMA Permit the Applicants Deep Point marina development has an allowed impervious surface coverage within the 75 foot AEC of 112,900 square feet. The south and west sides of the marina were depicted as 100% impervious coverage within 30 feet of the marina. 19. Permit No. 91-96 was modified on December 11, 2008, to remove approximately 9,200 square feet of impervious area from the buffer that was authorized in the original proposal. 20. The access road surface and marina landings, if included in impervious coverage, will constitute a total of approximately 91,000 square feet impervious coverage at the site in question. The proposed road detail calls for a cross -slope road surface which diverts rainfall away from the 5 marina. NPDES Phase II Stormwater Rules focus on a 1 %a inch storm event. In the case of an 8 foot wide road this amounts to a 1 cubic foot of rain water per foot of road. The rock base plus asphalt pavement will place the road surface at approximately 5 inches above normal grade. A two -foot wide area of flat ground with a 3 horizontal to 1 vertical foot side slope to the road is sufficient to hold the I cubic foot of water, but it would infiltrate into the ground more quickly than it could build up. The area around the manna is of a porous sandy nature and has a low density stormwater permit (SW8-071004) which does not require additional treatment. Applicant also plans a 3 foot buffer between the marina bulkhead and the 6 foot perimeter boardwalk, planted with native grasses and wildflowers. 21. Applicant's manna site was originally permitted for 22 acres of clear cut parking sheet with drainage to a wet pond; as constructed the site will utilize a number of treed infiltration basins. 22. Applicant's marina site was originally to employ septic service for handling wastewater, but now has sewer lines in place with treatment by wastewater treatment plant. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The CRC hasjurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter. 2. All notices for the proceeding were adequate and proper. 3. Petitionees proposed development is located within the Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Areas, and Estuarine Shorelines and Public Trust Shorelines ('Coastal Shorelineg) Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). 15A NCAC 7H .0206, .0207, and .0209. 4. Petitioner has withdrawn its request to place manna signage in Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Areas (SF 13); therefore, this Order does not address the issue of signage. 6 5. Petitioner has demonstrated that strict application of Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0209(d)(10) to the permit application will result in unnecessary hardship. Strict application of the 30-foot buffer requirement would mean Petitioner would be unable to provide a minimal - width paved surface adjacent to the recreational marina for access by the Harbormaster or by emergency vehicles (in the case of medical emergency, fire, fuel spill, or hazardous materials incident). Strict application of the total square footage requirement of Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0209(d)(10)(F) would prevent Petitioner from providing a 5-foot minimum turning radius at the top of ramps to the docks allowed under CAMA Major Permit No. 91-96 and, thus, would restrict access for handicapped persons. 6. The Petitioner has demonstrated that this hardship results from conditions peculiar to Petitioner's property such as the location, size, or topography of the property. Petitioner's property is located adjacent to the NC Southport -Fort Fisher State Ferry site. The recreational marina is located mostly on the southern end of the marina, rather than being wrapped around the whole marina as would usually be the case. The size of the entire marina, incorporating the passenger ferry and the recreational ferry, is a condition peculiar to Petitioner's property. Additionally, the marina basin was sited and permitted with guidance from DCM to ensure protection of water quality and estuarine resource habitat. 7. The Petitioner has demonstrated that this hardship does not result from actions Petitioner has taken. 8. The Petitioner has demonstrated (a) that the requested variance is consistent with the spirit, purpose and intent of the Commissiorfs rules, (b) that it will secure public safety and welfare, and (c) that it will preserve substantial justice. The proposed project will be consistent 7 with the spirit, purpose, and intent of the CRCs rules in that Petitioner is seeking to provide safe access to all members of the public at its recreational marina facilities. The minimal -width paved road around the marina will allow the Harbormaster and emergency vehicles to respond as necessary to protect public health and safety. Additionally, the requested size of the five platforms located at the top of dock access ramps will allow persons in wheelchairs to use the dock facilities fulfilling the intent of the Commission's rules to maximize access to these AECs for all people. Petitioner has also assured the CRC that the road will be constructed in such a way as to minimize runoff and that the only vehicular traffic will be the golf carts used by the Harbormaster and emergency vehicles. For each of these reasons the proposed variance is consistent with the spirit, purpose, and intent of the CRCs rules, it will secure public health and safety, and it will preserve substantial justice. THEREFORE, the variance from 15A NCAC 7H.0209(d)(10) is GRANTED on the condition that the minimal -width paved surface road cannot be used for other than the proposed uses for the Harbormaster and emergency vehicles that were specified in the variance petition. The granting of this variance does not relieve Petitioner of the responsibility for obtaining a CAMA permit from the proper permitting authority. This variance is based upon the Stipulated Facts set forth above. The Commission reserves the right to reconsider the granting of this variance and to take any appropriate action should it be shown that any of the above Stipulated Facts is not true.

RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, NC MAR 0 6 2009 MEMORANDUM TO: Rob Moul, FROM: Dan Weeks DATE: February 20, 1996 RE: Revision to Pfizer Tract Land Use Plan MAR i a 2009 Morehead City DCR Please find enclosed the revised land use plan for the Pfizer Tract and subsequent information pertaining to the project. Due to the comments we have received back from CAMA regarding the Pfizer Tract, we have made the following changes: 1. Relocated the access channel to the marina to the northeast, primarily for two purposes. First, to minimize disturbance to the existing 404 wetlands at a point of least resistance and second to allow for improved water circulation and flushing (see plan). 2. The marina has increased in size to 5.5 AC due to this change. 3. The width of the barge landing has been decreased from 75' to 50' in width. As discussed earlier, we will need to have a hydrological model done indicating flushing rates and dissolved oxygen levels for the proposed marina basin. Please note that this model should illustrate a "worst case" scenario in mid July during predawn conditions. In addition we also need one model done with the jetties extending 200' past the defined wetland and MHW line (see plan). Please begin these models immediately and should you have any questions please contact me at 910-457-7339.

System Tnstalfi6.. Drive each Manta Ray Anchor into the earth. Consult the "Distance Between fie Rods" column of the Component Char for appropriate spacing of anchors. After the anchor has been driven to the required depth, a hydraulic device called a -load locker" is attached to the tie rod to pull and rotate the anchor to lock it into position and "proof load" the anchors holding capacity. Consult the Component Chart for the required "Minimum Proof Load" for the appropriate seawall design. If die design of your ShoreGuard Vinyl Seawall is altered, or the type of soil present on the job site is not granular well draining soil, then contact Materials International for installation and technical assistance. Note: In many applications. Manta Ra Anchors are installed after the sheet piling has been installed. r �TFn:ead;7�eIfattiuta�uc%a� • �IIn've^AucSortmFrogerlfeptic ONE �� t; ana\O\\\\n RmettDrive=ffteek1ntar s lAIIi:FIOF ' Y Wkm 3'Pasitiun:AnclwratProper,� „ Locatloma (Ea�rP G_ Use Load; Locker to ProofLo& Anchori-nt%Locke&Posiuori FROPOScD MARINA NOV-4 5 NOVrlolo�,VIIE 15 1995 DIVISION OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT Male I,oc 5hore6uard V ingl Seawalls ioined to a timber bulkheac Troucjh Pdt5 everq 12 inches Mstemis Intetmuaul I, 4501 Circle 75 Parkw Suite E-5370 Atlanta, GA 30339 U: USA 800-2-9-BBV Fax 404-933-8363 ShoreGuard Vinyl Seawalls ..
