Dear Ms. MacPherson, Bald Head Island Limited, LLC is planning on paving and pavement repair projects this year at its Deep Point Marina Ferry Terminal and Parking Facility, 1301 Ferry Road, Southport, Brunswick County, NC. One project is asphalt paving of the temporary/secondary Harbormaster Parking Lot, outside of the 30' Marina Buffer, and mostly within the 75' Marina AEC. I say "temporary" in that the site is CAMA 91- 96 permitted for a 3-story future building. This paving was approved by Stormwater SW8-951012 Plan Modification on 3/31 /2015 and CAMA Letter of Refinement 3/12/2015. The second project is paving of the main parking lot expansion near the main entrance/exit to the site. You attended a DEMLR/Stormwater scoping meeting for this earlier this year, with S&ME as Project Engineer. It is the subject of this Letter of Refinement Request. For paving bid purposes, the paving contractor(s) typically ask for our CAMA approval(s). My file research shows that the intended 3000+/- parking space ferry parking lot was part of the initial Upland Development information on the MP-1 application, based on my 3-12-96 seal date SW8-951012 approved stormwater plan, sheet Sl/Bald Head Island Limited, LLC's 10-16-95 Land Use Plan. I am enclosing one copy, 11 "x17" black and white, for your reference usage. At that time, the project name was "Pfizer Tract", for the 176+/- acre property purchase from Pfizer. Within the next couple of years, appx 100 acres were sold off for the Landings Subdivision and for the State Ferry System Spoil Basin(s). By the time of the First Renewal in 1998, the Deep Point name was being used. As the main ferry parking is well outside of the AEC, I realize that a Letter of Refinement may not be necessary for the paving of the parking lot expansion, but it would help our paperwork trail, since the "Pfizer Tract" name hasn't been used in 20 years. A simple L.O.R. stating that the paving of the Deep Point Marina parking lots are consistent with the 1996 Permit Intent would be wonderful. If you have any questions and/or comments, please call me at 910-799-9245 or send me an e-mail. Thanking you in advance for kind attention to this matter. Respectfully, Bruce Marek, P.E.
