PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to create a community Bogue Sound access for the 23 single-family lots within West End Subdivision. The proposed project involves the construction of a pier, high ground gazebo, and a floating dock with 10 boat slips and 5 associated finger piers and 13 tie-up pilings. 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: Project Setting The project site is a 22.5 acre tract adjacent to Bogue Sound and`Coast Guard Channel.'`Coast Guard Channel'is a channel that connects to Bogue Inlet.The subject channel is a natural watercourse off`Coast Guard Channel'that runs partly between a small marsh island and the western edge of the West End Subdivision marsh line.The property is bordered to the north by Bogue Sound, to the east by Pointe Bogue Subdivision, to the south by Coast Guard Road, and to the west by Emerald by the Sea, Block 52.The property is vacant,with the exception of a stretch of Old Coast Guard Road.Currently,the property is largely maritime forest with extensive coastal and federal wetlands bordering the sound side,or north side,of the property. Associated with this proposed project is a high ground island in the sound side marsh which is within the property meets and bounds and is located approximately 400' north - northeast from the wooded high ground from Lot 1 of the subdivision. Cedars, myrtles, and other shrubbery growth are found on the high ground island. There are no 404 wetlands existing on the high ground island.There are federal wetlands located within the interior of the undeveloped lots.The elevation of the property ranges from 0' normal high water (NHW) to 20' NHW. There are no utilities or houses presently onsite, however, septic permits exist and four cul-de-sacs connecting to Coast Guard Road are in place. State Permit number 144-03 was issued 31 October 2003 to Mr.Jerry Cook for Major Development within an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). The permit authorizes land disturbing activities and installation of the utilities infrastructure associated with the establishment of West End Subdivision including the construction of the four cul-de-sacs connecting to Coast Guard Road,filling of Section 404 wetlands,and the removal of an existing roadbed.The permit authorizes a maximum impervious area of 1.22%within the 575-foot Outstanding Resource Water (ORW) Coastal Shoreline AEC. Other permits issued associated with State Permit number 144-03 include: Division of Water Quality WQC #3400 and U.S. Corps of Engineers Action ID No. 200301178. It should be noted that the proposed project site is located within close proximity to an area of significant coastal archaeological resource and/or significant coastal historical archeological resource. Moving south to north along the westernmost property line of Lot 1 is woody maritime vegetation where the natural walkway is proposed.At the time of the site visit,this area is thick with shrubs and overgrowth and will require some clearing and thinning of maritime vegetation for the natural walkway. Running northeast at the transition of the maritime forest and the coastal wetlands,there is Spartina alterniflora, Distichlis spicata, and Spartina patens.The Spartina alterniflora is abundant throughout the marsh expanse for approximately 400'to the high ground island which is bordered around its perimeter with a narrow fringe of Juncus roemerianus.Traveling northwest from the high ground island,the vegetation transitions from the high ground shrubs and changes into the Spartina alterniflora at the approximate NHW. Located approximately 200'to the west of the high ground island is the waterward edge of the marsh that abuts the western edge of the natural watercourse off`Coast Guard Channel.' At the proposed project site,the channel runs approximately north and south and is approximately 264'wide measured from edge of marsh abutting West End Subdivision property and the edge of the marsh abutting a marsh island on the western edge of the channel.There is another marsh island approximately 120'south of the proposed project site in which the channel narrows to 72' in width measuring from edge of the marsh to the edge of the marsh. Bogue Sound at this location is classified as SA and ORW by the Division of Water Quality.The tidal amplitude in this area is approximately 3.5 feet.This section of sound does not serve as either a primary or secondary nursery area, however the waters are open for shellfish harvesting.The bottom at the channel site is sandy and there are no visible SAVs or shellfish at the proposed dock site. The average water depths in the channel at the proposed project site are less than±-2.64 feet at normal low water. The adjacent properties to the south have similar shorelines. Project Description The proposed project is to construct a community sound access for the 23 single-family lots located within West End TAROYMest End Pier Proposal Major\West End Field Report.doc Field Investigation Report West End Subdivision Pier Proposal 19 October 2004 Page 3 of 3 Subdivision. The restrictive covenants for West End Subdivision (see attached) currently prohibit individual docks or piers. According to the applicant, the purpose of this restrictive covenant is in anticipation of obtaining permits for and building a community water access.The proposed project consists of a natural walkway path,a proposed 10'easement,across Lot 1 of the West End Subdivision to the edge of the marsh. Lot 1 is currently owned by the applicant, Mr.Jerry Cook.The applicant describes this access for pedestrian use only and any vehicle access would be by`drop-off'or possibly by golf cart. There are no indications on the site plan submitted with this application for any parking area(s)associated with the pier.The applicant does describe, however, golf cart parking and/or drop-off occurring within the cul-de-sac of Old Coast Guard Road.There is no boat ramp or launching facilities associated with this project. At the terminus of the natural path at the marsh edge,the applicant proposes a 6'wide wooden pier running 400 feet north across the marsh section of lot 1(a) to a high ground island in the marsh. On the island, the applicant proposes to construct a 12'diameter(1 14 ft2) gazebo for sitting and viewing. The gazebo will be located above normal high water level, landward of any coastal wetlands,and is not proposing second story use. However,construction of the gazebo must comply with the Coastal Resource Commission's rules for the Coastal Shoreline 30'buffer.The gazebo must be less than 200 ftz in area, unroofed,and must be elevated with slatted flooring,otherwise,the gazebo must be located landward of the 30'buffer. Another 6'wide by 200' long section of wooden pier running west—northwest will connect the island to a floating 8'wide by 154'long(1,232 ft2)boating dock/platform area at the edge of the channel with 10 boat slips(16'x 30')and 13 appurtenant tie- up pilings and 5 finger piers(3'x 2'x 16') .Water depth at the end of the pier and the boat slips area is approximately 4 at normal low tide. The floating dock and finger piers with appurtenant tie-up pilings will protrude at least 60'into the width of the 264'wide channel. Residents of West End Subdivision will have to launch their boats at one of the ramps in the area and would access the dock via the Intracoastal Waterway and then through the `Coast Guard Channel' and enter the small channel from the "Coast Guard Channel." 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project will usurp 4,620 ft2 of public trust area and estuarine waters within open shellfish waters. The project will require the shading of 3,600 ft2 of coastal wetlands, involving both high and low marsh, and shading of 1,232 ft2 of the shallow sandy bottom under the floating dock/platform. The project will involve high ground disturbance through the construction of the proposed gazebo covering 114 ft2. The proposed pier/boating platform as described in the site plan will not encroach more than one-fourth the width of`Coast Guard Channel,'therefore would not appear to impede navigation of the sound nor obstruct traditional navigation at this location. The channel at this location is an open loop and is flushed regularly with the tide cycles. Construction methods described in the applicant's narrative indicate the use of means (i.e., logging mats)to lessen and prevent damage to the marsh during the construction phases.This is strongly encouraged to prevent rutting and alteration of the marsh substrate during construction. No dredging or bottom disturbance other than the piling setting associated with the construction is required therefore only temporary elevated turbidity in the water column is expected. The increased boat traffic might cause wake that could erode the coastal wetland shoreline, however, due to the location and narrowness of the channel, boat speeds will be limited thereby decreasing the effect of the wave action on the shoreline.

West End Subdivision C.A.M.A. Narrative LOCATION: This project is located in Carteret County on the western end of Emerald Isle, near the end of Coast Guard Road. Turn right on Ring Street and then immediately right onto Old Coast Guard Road, proceed to the end of Old Coast Guard Road and park in the cul-de-sac. The western line of Lot 1 is staked with 36-inch wood stake to the marsh edge. PURPOSE and DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this project is to create a sound access for 23 single-family lots in West End Subdivision. The restrictive covenants for this project currently prohibit individual docks or piers in anticipation of obtaining permits for and building a community access. The proposed access would consist of a natural walkway area across lot 1 of the West End Subdivision to the edge of the marsh. The access would be for pedestrian traffic only, any vehicle access would be by drop off or possible golf cart. Golf cart parking or drop off would occur within the cul-de-sac of Old Coast Guard Road. After reaching the marsh edge on the natural walkway a 6 foot wide wooden pier would pick up and run approximately 400 feet to a high land island in the marsh, on the island a 12 foot diameter gazebo is proposed for sitting and viewing, the gazebo will be above normal high water level,then leaving the island with another section of 6 foot wide wooden pier for approximately 200 feet to a floating 8 foot wide boat dock area. The boat dock would be a 10 slip floating structure with associated pilings and finger piers. Boats would be launched at one of several ramps in the area and ingress the dock by the Intracoastal Waterway and then the Coast Guard Channel and a small channel off the Coast Guard Channel. The dock is located on a small loop channel off the Coast Guard Channel with excellent flushing qualities. CONSTRUCTION METHODS: The construction methods used in construction of this project will be in accordance with current C.A.M.A. regulations and best management practices. The proposed improvements will be staked by the surveyor prior to construction for C.A.M.A. approval as requested or required. Construction methods will include but not be limited to logging mats and other means to lesson and prevent damage to the marsh during construction. The floating dock and finger piers will be wrapped foam floats and offshore of marsh so no marsh damage should occur with this construction. The floating dock and finger piers will be in sufficient water depth so that no dredging or bottom disturbance other than piling setting need occur. After construction the damaged marsh areas will be cleaned and left in a preconstruction condition as much as feasibly possible. ij C j 8 2004 Iviurehead City DCM West End S/D Roads } Parcels \ Water f � !rP � 1 in. =500.0 feet d nil � .rt� �. � - � ,.. , s lei ,R.

Barrett Graham, Esq., Petitioners,by U.S. Mail William Raney, attorney for Jerry Cook, Permitee,by U.S. Mail STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA BEFORE THE CHAIRMAN COASTAL RESOURCES COMMISSION COUNTY OF CARTERET CMT-2005-05 IN THE MATTER OF THE ) THIRD PARTY HEARING REQUEST ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF THE BY TRUSTEE FOR THE ) DIVISION OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT ROBERT CASEY ESTATE TRUST ) I. BACKGROUND Petitioners, Wachovia Bank as trustee, C. Barrett Graham, Esq., counsel for Robert Casey Estate, and Mrs. Casey as beneficiary(Petitioner), request permission to file a petition for a contested case hearing as a third party pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b). Petitioners seek to challenge CAMA Major Permit Modification#144-03, issued by the Division of Coastal Management(DCM), to Jerry Cook(Permittee), owner of the West End subdivision, on March 2, 2005(orig. permit issued 10/31/03). The modification authorizes a community docking facility for the West End Subdivision in Emerald Isle, Carteret County,North Carolina. Under the Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA), a third party may file a contested case hearing petition to challenge the issuance or denial of a CAMA permit to someone else only if the Coastal Resources Commission(CRC) first determines that a contested case hearing is appropriate. N.C.G.S. Section 113A-121.1(b)provides that the determination as to whether a hearing is appropriate should be based upon a consideration of whether the petitioner: 1. Has alleged that the decision is contrary to a statute or rule; 2. Is directly affected by the decision; and 3. Has alleged facts or made legal arguments that demonstrate that the hearing request is not frivolous. The CRC has delegated the authority to its Chairman to determine whether a third party request for a hearing should be granted or denied. Rule 15A NCAC 7J .0301(b). A third party whose hearing request is granted may file a contested case hearing petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH)within 20 days after the Commission makes its determination. N.C.G.S. Sec. 113A-121.1(b). A third party whose hearing request is denied may seek judicial review. Id. II. FACTS A. Petitioner owns lots 33 and 34 of Emerald Isle By the Sea, in Emerald Isle,NC. County tax records show Petitioner's house was built in 1974 and they have owned it since1973. B. The Permittee owns, and is developing the West End subdivision located off Coast Guard Road in Emerald Isle,NC. See the survey by Prestige Land Surveying attached and incorporated. C. Both parties own property adjacent to "coast guard channel", adjacent to Bogue Sound. Bogue Sound is a designated Outstanding Resource Water(ORW)by the Environmental Management Commission, and is open to the harvest of shellfish. D. The property is within the Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern("AEC") which is adjacent to the ORW waters of Bogue Sound. The AEC is delineated as the area withing 575'of the normal high water line. All the development proposed is within the AEC. E. On October 14, 2004, DCM accepted a complete application from the Permitted for a CAMA Major Permit Modification for the proposed development with Carteret County. 2 (attached) The proposal included a 6' by 400' pier/walkway, a 6' by 200' pier/walkway, a 12' diameter gazebo, and a 154' by 8' floating dock with finger piers and pilings for 10 boat slips. F. Mr. Roy Brownlow, DCM's compliance coordinator, acted as the field representative for this permit application. He made site visits and an aerial inspection of the site as a part of his assignment. G. This application was a modification of CAMA Major Permit #144-03, that had been issued October 31, 2003 for the subdivision's infrastructure. H. As a part of the Major Permit Modification process, the Permitted gave notice to riparian owners, including the Petitioner. I. In response to the proposed project, Petitioner responded with a letter dated December 13, 2004. In the letter, Petitioner, Wachovia Bank as Trustee, and Mrs. Casey personally, objected to the project as proposed. Their concern was that the permit would authorize work that would interfere with Mrs. Casey's privacy. (see attached letter) Wachovia Bank also made contact with DCM to track the permit's progress and to request forms. J. Upon receipt of Petitioner's letter, Staff, including Asst. Director Ted Tyndall, Major Permits Coordinator Doug Huggett, and Mr. Brownlow met to discuss the permit application and the Petitioners' letter. They did not feel that the submitted survey was accurate in its depiction of riparian corridors in the area, and because the drawings did not clearly delineate between highground and marsh. 3 K. Staff notes that due to the irregular coastline, the presence of marsh and marsh island, and the distance to the channel, riparian corridors are difficult to determine in this area. In this circumstance, the rules allow Staff to align the proposed pier "to meet the intent of this Rule to the maximum extent practicable." Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0208(b)(6)(L). L. After supplementing the survey with Mr. Brownlow's field report and first-hand descriptions, aerial photos, county tax records, all three Staff agreed that the proposed stricture was in the subdivision's riparian area. Staff made a concerted effort to ensure that Petitioners had riparian access if they desired to build a dock of their own to reach the channel in the future, and that the proposal did not encroach into Petitioners' 15' riparian buffer per 7H .0208(b)(6)(L). In fact, Staff required early-on, that the proposal be changed to push the proposed slips further to the north-west to give Petitioners more room. M. Staff feels that they"made a conscious effort to protect the Petitioners' riparian area" and went "above and beyond"because of the irregular shape of the shoreline to examine the riparian corridors. N. On March 2, 2005, Doug Huggett, DCM's Major Permit Coordinator issued a CAMA Major Permit Modification #144-03 to the Permittee.(attached) The gazebo portion of the project did not meet the rules, and was excepted from the permit in condition# 13 of the permit. Staff also added condition #3 to note that while it didn't accept the riparian corridors as shown on the Permittee's map, it did feel that the proposal met the rules. 4 0. A letter to Petitioners, dated March 2, 2005, notified them that Staff felt the proposal was not inconsistent with the CRC's rules and had granted the permit. It also notified them of their right to appeal. (attached) P. Petitioner filed this timely petition with the Director on March 18, 2005.(attached) Q. Permittees' counsel Mr. Raney, submitted a response to the petition, dated March 24, 2005, which is attached for the chairman's consideration. III. DCM'S RECOMMENDATIONS A. Has the Petitioner Alleged that the Decision is Contrary to a Statute or Rule? Yes on 1, No on II and III. In order to prevail in a third party hearing request, a petitioner must first allege that the agency made a decision that is contrary to a statute or rule. N.C.G.S. § I I 3A-12 1.1(b)(1). The petition states, "Petitioner has not been able to identify specific violations of statutes or rules at this time but respectfully reserves the right to present any should they be identified at a later date." In the body of the petition, Petitioner appears to raise three issues. (I)First,while Petitioner does not list the specific rule as required, Petitioner asserts that "the proposed dock and pier may violate her riparian and littoral rights, as defined by the Supreme Court of North Carolina."Riparian rights are protected within the CRC's rules in connection with docks and piers in the specific use standards of 15A NCAC 7H .0208(b)(6). As such,Petitioner has satisfied N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.l(b)(1) for this issue. 5 (II) Second, Petitioner, in addressing the second factor, raises the issue that the location of the proposed development will invade her privacy by allowing persons on the pier to "look directly into the Petitioner's property for indefinite periods of time, thereby invading the privacy of those occupying Petitioner's property." This issue is not something that is addressed by the CRC's rules because it is a nuisance claim. Such claims are not within the purview of the CRC's rules and does not meet the standard ofN.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(1). (III) Finally, Petitioner raises the issue that the use of the pier will result in trash and debris that "will accumulate in the water and either remain there creating unsightly and unhealthy conditions or be carried into the surrounding marshes and onto Petitioner's property by movement of the water." While this may be a legitimate concern, such action is in no way authorized by a CAMA Permit. A CAMA Permit only authorizes development by the Permittee on property he owns. A CAMA Permit does not grant any property rights to the Permitted, nor does it authorize trespass onto another's property by persons or debris. DCM Staff have no authority to make determinations about property rights issues such as trespass or nuisance. Therefore, it does not meet the requirements of N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(1), requiring a showing that the permit allows development contrary to CAMA or the CRC's rules. B. Is the Petitioner Directly Affected by the Decision? Yes. Petitioner is an adjoining property owner, and feels that they will be directly impacted by the permit decision, by an invasion of privacy and possible debris that will accumulate on her property. Staff notes that the Petitioner owns a lot adjacent to the Permittee's 6 property where the development has been permitted. Thus, for purposes of this third party hearing request, DCM feels that Petitioner is sufficiently directly affected by the permit decision Petitioner meets the requirements of N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(2). C. Has the Petitioner Demonstrated that the Hearing Request is not Frivolous? No on I, II and III. Petitioner has not alleged facts which would show that the hearing request is not frivolous. As stated above, petitioner does not indicate specific rules that she alleges were violated by the issuance of the permit, but raises three issues. (I) Regarding the riparian rights issue raised by Petitioner, as shown above, the shoreline in this instance is irregularly shaped, with many marshes and islands. In such cases, riparian corridors are more difficult to determine and are left to the experienced judgement of Staff to achieve the intent of the rule to the "maximum extent practicable." 15A NCAC 7H .0208(b)(6)(L). In this case, it resulted in ensuring an equitable distribution of the riparian area for the Permittee, as well as the Petitioners. Three top-level DCM staff considered this issue, and based on several resources, determined that the proposal as permitted met the rules of the CRC. Petitioners have not outlined any specifics of how their riparian rights are affected, and only raise the issue generally. The great lengths and careful consideration by Staff of the riparian corridors of both Petitioners and Permittees shows that a contested case on the issue would be a waste of time and frivolous because the issue has already been carefully considered by three top-level staff. Petitioners do not meet the requirements of N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(3) on this issue. 7 (II and III) The other two issues Petitioner raises are private nuisance and trespass issues, that are not proper for an administrative hearing. As between many neighbors, there may be issues and disputes that arise. The issuance of a CAMA Permit is a determination that the requested development is not inconsistent with CAMA or the CRC's rules. DCM Staff are not authorized to make such determinations of property ownership, trespass, or nuisance, raised by the Petitioner because they are private actions between the parties. Those issues are properly decided by the Superior Court of North Carolina, and not an administrative court through the contested case process. As this is the wrong forum for Petitioner's concerns, he has not met the burden of demonstrating that the request is not frivolous on these two issues, per N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(3). IV. CONCLUSION In conclusion, Petitioners did not meet the criteria justifying a contested case hearing. For the reasons stated herein, the Division of Coastal Management, through its undersigned attorney, recommends that this Third Party Hearing Request be DENIED by the Chairman.

Box 629 Raleigh, NC 27602-0629 This the day of March 2005 Signature of Petitioner or Attorney EP/30540/wp Updated:July 14, 1999 1 . The Petitioner has not been able to identify specific violations of statutes or rules at this time but respectfully reserves the right to present any should they be identified at a later date . However, the Petitioner believes that the proposed pier and dock may violate her riparian and littoral rights as defined by the Supreme Court of North Carolina 2 . The Petitioner is an adjoining property owner whose interests are directly affected by the permit decision. The Petitioner is the owner in trust of Lots 33 and 34, Block 52 , Emerald Isle By the Sea as shown on the CAMA Application Drawing by Prestige Land Surveying, PA, dated August 10, 2004 and revised October 7, 2004 . The length and direction of the proposed pier crosses in front of the Petitioner' s property. The pier serves the residents of an entire subdivision plus their guests or tenants and is accessible to the public. The length and location of the pier enables those on the pier to look directly into the Petitioner' s property for indefinite periods of time, thereby invading the privacy of those occupying Petitioner' s property. The length and direction of the pier, when combined with the presence of a dock at its end, will cause persons who use the pier and dock to carry items with them when crossing the pier. The presence of significant numbers of persons, both sightseeing and utilizing the dock, will result in the presence of trash and debris on or around the pier. Inevitably, a quantity of this debris will accumulate in the water and either remain there creating unsightly and unhealthy conditions or be carried into the surrounding marshes and onto Petitioner' s property by the movements of the water. 3 . The Petitioner believes that the foregoing activities will result in pollution and invasion of the privacy of the current and future owners and occupants of Petitioner' s property, resulting in loss of enjoyment of the property, lowered marketability of the property, and diminution of its value. This appeal is not being undertaken frivolously, but rather with the intent of protecting the property rights of the Petitioner. WESsci.L& RANKY, L.L.P.

Casey. Mr. Cook contends that the Request fails to meet the criteria established by G.S. 113A-121.1 (b) and that the Request should be denied. In support of this position, we submit the following: 1. Has the Petitioner alleged that the decision is contrary to a statute or rule? The Petitioner does not identify any statute or rule that is allegedly violated by the granting of this permit. Although the Petitioner makes general allegations concerning riparian rights, the Request does not specify a rule, statute or any case law that supports such an allegation. The riparian corridor rule adopted by the Coastal Resources Commission in 15A NCAC 7H. 0208 (b) (6) (L) , when applied to the Petitioner's property in a way most favorable to Petitioner, would result in a riparian corridor that is clearly more than 15 feet from any part of the Applicant ' s proposed pier. Under any possible drawing of the riparian corridor, there is no conceivable infringement or setback issue. A line perpendicular to the channel from the northernmost part of the Petitioner's claimed ownership would result in a riparian corridor that is much greater than 15 feet from the proposed pier. Ms . Goebel March 24 , 2005 Page 2 2 . Has the Petitioner alleged- that it is directly affected b the decision? Although the Petitioner has alleged ways in the which the pier adversely affects the Petitioner 's interest, none of the alleged effects are those that are within the regulatory authority of the Coastal Area Management Act. Protection of privacy and protection from illegal littering are not within the purview of the Act. 3 . Has the Petitioner alleged facts or made legal arguments that demonstrate that the Request for the Hearina is not frivolous? Although the objection may not seem frivolous to the Petitioner, the issue of whether it is frivolous must be judged in the context of the purposes of the Coastal Area Management Act. Of the issues raised by the Petitioner, the only issue that is arguably within the regulatory authority of the Act is the issue concerning infringement of riparian rights. As indicated in (1) above, the broad assertions by the Petitioner are without any support of statutes, rules or case law. The application of the riparian rule leaves no doubt that the Applicant complies with the rule with a wide margin of error to take into account any possible argument regarding the proper location of riparian corridors. Thus, the Petitioner has presented only a frivolous argument on this potentially legitimate issue. For the foregoing reasons, the Petitioner respectfully requests that the Third Party Hearing Request submitted by Barrett Graham be , denied. Sincerely, WESSELL & RANEY, L.L.P. WAR.jn William A.

The Third Party Hearing Request was filed on behalf of petitioner, Wachovia Bank, Trustee under the will of Robert G. Casey on March 21, 2005. Under N.C.G.S. §113A-121.1 (the Coastal Area Management Act), your CAMA permit is automatically suspended upon receipt of a hearing request and will remain suspended until either: (1) Chairman Hackney denies the hearing request (under standards set out in the statute); or (2) there is a final Coastal Resources Commission decision on the permit appeal. You may not undertake any development under the permit until further notice after Chairman Tomlinson issues his decision. The Division of Coastal Management will prepare a recommendation for the Chairman on whether to grant or deny the hearing request. The Chairman must make a decision within 15 days after receipt of the hearing request. If you wish to submit any materials for the Chairman's consideration in ruling on the request for contested case hearing, please send them to me as soon as possible. Sincerely, Charles S.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources 151-B, Highway 24, Hestron Plaza II Morehead City,North Carolina 28557 Dear Mr. Huggett: Reference Jerry A. Cook's application for a Department of the Army permit to construct a pier, high ground gazebo, and floating dock with 10 slips, 5 associated finger piers and 13 tie up pilings, to be located adjacent to Bogue Sound,near the intersection of Coast Guard and Old Coast Guard Roads, in Emerald Isle, Carteret County,North Carolina. The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the application and your field investigation report. We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization: 1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the permit plans, which are a part of this permit. 2. No vegetated wetlands will be excavated or filled. 3. This permit does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed Federal project, and the permittee will not be entitled to compensation for damage or injury to the authorized structure or work which may be caused from existing or future operations undertaken by the United States in the public interest. 4. No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized work. Use of the permitted activity must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. • -2- 5. The Permittee must install and maintain, at its expense, any signal lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on all authorized facilities constructed within navigable waters of the United States. 6. No excavated or fill material will be placed in any location or in any manner so as to impair surface water flow into or out of any wetland area. 7. The authorized structure and activity will not cause an unacceptable interference with navigation. 8. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge.

This Department of the Army permit does not obviate the need to obtain other Federal, State, or local authorizations required by law. 10. It is possible that the authorized structure may be damaged by wavewash from passing vessels. The issuance of this permit does not relieve the permittee from taking all proper steps to ensure the integrity of the permitted structure and the safety of moored boats. The permittee will not hold the United States liable for any such damage. 11. The permittee understands and agrees that,if future operations by the United States require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative,said structure or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters,the permittee will be required, upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby,without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration. 12. In issuing this permit, the Federal Government does not assume any liability for: a. Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of other permitted or unpermitted activities or from natural causes. b. Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of current or future Federal activities initiated on behalf of the general public. c. Damages to other permitted or unpermitted activities or structures caused by the authorized activity. -3- d. Design and construction deficiencies associated with the permitted work. e. Damage claims associated with any future modification, suspension, or revocation of this permit. 13. The Permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The Permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without having it transferred to a third party. 14. The West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus),which is listed as a federally endangered species, has been reported in the tidal waters in Carteret County. In order to protect the West Indian manatee all work should be done during the period from November 1 to May 31. If work must be done during the period from June through October the enclosed guidelines, entitled"Precautions for General Construction in Areas Which May Be Used by the West Indian Manatee in North Carolina" must be followed.

Pierce, Director MEMORANDUM November 17, 2004 TO: Doug Huggett, DCM Major Permits Processing Coordinator FROM: Lees Sabot;I Shellfish Sanitation and Recreational Water Quality Section SUBJECT: West End Subdivision, c/o Jerry Cook: 10 slip dock The proposed community dockage facility is located in waters open to the harvest of shellfish. This area has consistently met water quality standards, and is classified as Outstanding Resource Waters by the Division of Water Quality. The subject 10-slip dockage facility would not cause closure of open shellfishing waters in accordance with 15A NCAC 18A.0911 MARINAS: DOCKING FACILITIES: OTHER MOORING AREAS. However, if greater than ten vessels were to use the facility for temporary or permanent dockage, appropriate closures to open shellfishing waters would be recommended. It can be anticipated that this 10-slip facility will not provide adequate dockage space for the residents in this 23-lot waterfront subdivision. The applicant's Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for West End Subdivision, West End Partnership, LLC, states that individual residents will be restricted from building private docks, and that the applicant as Declarant, retains rights to future construction of additional community piers and docks. It is requested that the applicant divulge total water dependent structure plans for the subdivision in subsequent applications, so that assessment regarding the possible need to classify the West End Subdivision's combined community docks as a marina can be made.

Murphey Marine Biologist Supervisor Thru: Mike Marshall Nyvl� Central District Manager Date: 11/12/2004 Re: West End Subdivision,c/o Jerry Cook. CAMA/DREDGE&FILL Permit Application Review The NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) is concerned about the construction of 600' of pier shading 3,600 square feet of vegetation. However the division understands that the restrictive covenants for the subdivision prohibits individual docks and piers and recognizes this minimizes cumulative effects of multiple docks. The NCDMF does recommend that the pier be built at a minimum height of 3' or more above the substrate. The NCDMF also is concerned about the construction of the 154' long boating dock/platform area with 10 boat slips. Division staff visited the site and found the area of the proposed boat slips to be in a high current area with the bottom consisting of soft sandy sediment with some shell hash. The NCDMF is concerned about how the habitat in this area may change after the relocation of Bogue Inlet, especially if changes result in sediment accretion. These changes may result in the need for future dredging into what may become SAV habitat and or shellfish habitat.

LUP Consistency Determination: The proposal is Consistent With&Not in Conflict with the 2004 Town of Emerald Isle Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on October 27, 2004,provided that all applicable local, state,and federal development guidelines are met. Overview: Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal include Estuarine Shoreline, Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Waters, and Coastal Wetlands. The Waters at the project site are classified as SA- ORW and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. The area is not a Primary Nursery Area. The Town of Emerald Isle Land Classification Map designates the subject property AECs as"Conservation". Development within the designated AECs is limited by CAMA regulations and development guidelines. Applicable or related policy includes the following: "The Town endorses the CAMA use standards, which may be minimum requirements, and the development permit system as an effective tool for conserving coastal wetlands. Through enforcement of local ordinances, the Town will ensure that land use and development are consistent with conservation of coastal wetlands. The Town will allow only land uses in coastal wetlands that require water access and cannot function elsewhere. Examples of acceptable uses are utility easements, piers, and docks. Where such uses are permitted, the Town will require them to be developed in such a manner that the impact on coastal wetlands is minimized." (Land Use Compatibility Policies 2.1.1 and 2.1.2,pg. 70) "The Town will only allow uses in estuarine waters that are compatible with the protection and conservation of their biological and community values. Only development associated with water-dependent uses is allowed. Examples of appropriate development may include public access facilities, docks and piers, or erosion control structures."

Easley,Governor Charles S.Jones,Director William G. Ross Jr.,Secretary MEMORANDUM TO: DOUG HUGGETT FROM: ROY BROWNLOW THROUGH: M. TED TYNDALL; TERE BARRETT SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS -CAMA MAJOR PERMIT- West End Subdivision Pier Proposal DATE: 19 October 2004 The following are my comments and recommendations regarding the above referenced proposal. This application is for the proposed community Bogue Sound access for the 23 single-family lots within West End Subdivision off Coast Guard Road in Emerald Isle, Carteret County. The proposed project involves the construction of a pier, high ground gazebo, and a floating dock with 10 boat slips and 5 associated finger piers and 13 tie-up pilings. The proposal is consistent with the rules governing development in the Coastal Wetlands,Coastal Shoreline, Estuarine Waters,and Public Trust Areas AECs set forth in15A NCAC 07H .0205, .0206 .0207, .0208, .0209, and as such I recommend the permit be issued as requested contingent upon the following conditions: 1) All proposed development and associated construction must be done in accordance with the permitted work plat drawings, as referenced on the face of the issued permit. 2) No sewage,whether treated or untreated, shall be discharged at any time from any boats using the docking facility. Any sewage discharge at the docking facility shall be considered a violation of this permit for which the permittee is responsible. This prohibition shall be applied and enforced throughout the entire existence of the permitted structure. 3) The authorized structures and associated activity must not cause an unacceptable interference ` with navigation, and shall not exceed one-fourth the width of the waterbody. ;4) This permit authorizes only the docks, piers,and other structures and uses located in or over the water that are expressly and specifically set forth in the permit application. No other structure, whether floating or stationary, may become a permanent part of this docking facility without permit modification. No non-water dependent uses of structures may be conducted on, in or over public trust waters without permit modification. JAny portion of the permitted access pier and docking facilities built over coastal wetlands must not exceed six feet in width and must be elevated a minimum of three feet over the wetland substrate as measured from the bottom of the decking. 151-13 Hwy.24, Hestron Plaza II, Morehead City,North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-2808\FAX: 252-247-3330\Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity\Affirmative Action Employer—50%Recycled\10%Post Consumer Paper West End Subdivision Pier Proposal Jerry Cook, Property Owner c/o John Odum, Prestige Land Surveying, P.A. Page 2 of 3 6) No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized work. 7) The permittee must install and maintain at his expense any signal lights or signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulation or otherwise, on the authorized facilities. At a minimum, permanent reflectors should be attached to the structure in order to make it more visible during hours of darkness or inclement weather. 8) This permit authorizes a maximum of ten (10) boat slips. At no time shall more than ten (10)vessels be moored or docked at the facility. The restriction of the number of vessels shall apply to all marine vessel types, including but not limited to motorboats, sailing vessels and personal watercraft. 9) All development over or within wetlands must not adversely impact, damage the marsh or alter, including `rutting,'the marsh substrate. 10) All applicable federal, state,and local rules and regulations are considered as specifications for this project and shall take precedence over anything shown, described, or implied with the permitted work plat drawings, as referenced on the face of the issued permit. 11) The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without having it transferred to a third party. NOTE: Any proposal to add one or more additional boat slips to the authorized 10 slip facility will require that the docking facility be classified as a marina, and will therefore require a review under the N.C. Environmental Policy Act(NCEPA). NOTE: It is strongly recommended that the permittee exercise better management practices in the construction of the pier over the marsh and utilize all available precautions and methods(i.e., logging mats)to prevent damage, adverse impacts, or alteration of the marsh substrate. NOTE: Permanent reflectors should be attached to the structure in order to make it more visible during hours of darkness or inclement weather. NOTE: This permit does not eliminate the need to obtain any additional state, federal or local permits, approvals or authorizations that may be required. NOTE: The project site is located in an area having a high probability of containing cultural resources,such as Native American settlement remains. If such materials are encountered, the permittee must immediately stop work and notify the District Engineer, Wilmington Branch, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at (910) 251-4629, and the N.C. Division of Coastal Management at (919) 264-3901.

McLean Blvd Cape Carteret, NC 28584 Dear Mr. Odum (John): The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State approval for development of Mr. Jerry A. Cook's property located at West End Subdivision off Coast Guard Road in Emerald Isle, Carteret County . It was received on 14 October 2004, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is 23 December 2004. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day. If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from 14 October 2004, you may request a meeting with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your project. Such a meeting will be held within five working days from the receipt of your written request and shall include the property owner, developer, and project designer/consultant. NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of- way fronting your property, or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application. An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by the appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in writing if you wish to receive a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies. r Sincerely, Roy Brownlow Coastal Management Representative Enclosure cc: Mr. Jerry A.
