This letter is in response to a C.A.M.A. (Coastal Area Management Act) permit request
by Mr. & Mrs. Oma Hester 112 Highland Rd. New Bern, NC 28560. We own the property
adjacent to the Hester's along the Neuse River and have received an adjacent riparian property
owner notification form. We have reviewed the plans presented by Medford Marine
Contractors for the Hester's describing a 2-slip boat dock facility including a 7000 lb lift
extending 72 feet into the Neuse River. After these reviews we have concluded that we must
object to the plans as currently proposed.
The first point is the proposed dock facilities negative impact on the value and
enjoyment of our property. The Hester's recently purchased home is setback from the river on
a long narrow lot (home is >500ft from bulkhead) conversely our home is set on a bluff with
<100ft setback from the Neuse River, overlooking the bulkheads along the Neuse River. The
length and location of the proposed dock facility puts it directly in front of our property
interfering with our downriver view toward the rising sun and gives dock occupants unimpeded
access and view of our home which would not have been possible had it not been for the
extended dock built on land in the public trust (See enclosed photos). Integral to the value of
our property is its private location and unobstructed view of the Neuse River. This dock
facility punitively and permanently interferes with both of these characteristics to such a degree
that we must vehemently object to the project as currently proposed.
The second objection to proposed dock facility stems from its impact on the local
environment. The proposed structures will be the third facility of its kind constructed along
this 800 ft stretch of the Neuse River. These facilities will have the capacity for eight
powerboats. The facilities currently being operated contain four powerboats. These four boats
have resulted in a number of instances whereby fuel "leakage" has resulted in slicks, which
float on the river releasing toxic fumes and endangering wildlife. The Hester's proposal would
ultimately allow a doubling of the number of powerboats along this small stretch of Neuse
River and past experiences have already shown us the negative effects of powerboat usage
along this stretch of the Neuse River.
We appreciate the DENR for giving us the opportunity to comment on this proposal
and its negative effects. We respectfully request that DENR deny the current proposal and
request the Hester's to resubmit alternate plans, which would address the objections presented.
We would be glad to discuss further any aspects of this proposal and how it can be modified.
We would like to close by adding that we hope with the help of DENR and Medford Marine an
agreeable solution can be found.

Dear Drs. D'Angelo:
This correspondence is in reference to my onsite meeting with Dr. Drew D' Angelo on
January 2, 2004 in regards to the dock structure proposed by your downstream neighbors Mr. and
Mrs. Oma Hester. The site meeting followed several telephone conversations which resulted
from your objections to the Hester's dock proposal. The project is located on the Neuse River at
112 Highland Road, near New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina.
As you recall, the Hester's proposed a 4' X 88' pier with an 8' X 16' "L"-shaped platform
and a 12' X 12' uncovered boatlift and two mooring pilings. When I left the site last Friday, it
was my understanding that the relocating of the dock to the downstream side of the property away
from you along with the flip-flopping of the boatlift and platform to minimize impacts to privacy
addressed your objections. After our meeting that is what I conveyed to the Hesters. But if you
recall, I did say that I would write a letter giving you the right to request an appeal of the permit
even with your verbal consent of the project. This letter serves that purpose.
As I stated last Friday, the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) has reviewed your
objections and worked with the Hesters to address as many concerns as possible including those
mentioned above. DCM then determined that the proposal was consistent with the pertinent rules
of the Coastal Resources Commission and on 1/2/04 issued CAMA General Permit #37206-C to
the Hesters for the development. If you wish to appeal this permit decision, you must file a Third
Party Hearing Request with the Acting Director of the Division of Coastal Management, Mr.
Charles S. Jones, Department of Environment and Natural Resources within 20 days of the permit
decision. A copy must also be sent to the Attorney General's Office, Environmental Division.
The forms are enclosed. If you have any questions, I can be reached at (252-808-2808).
Sincerely,
M. Ted Tyn all
