9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is the existing private marina located along the common area of the Shoreline at
Channel Walk Townhouses, a 107 unit residential community which has been in existence since
the mid to late 1970's. The Shoreline at Channel Walk Townhouses are located between US
Highway 74 and Lee's Cut, just east of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission boat access
facility within the Town of Wrightsville Beach in New Hanover County.
The existing Channel Walk / Shoreline Homeowner's Association Marina occupies approximately
600 feet of shoreline of Lee's Cut and starts approximately 300 feet east of the entrance to the
Lee's Cut Homeowner's Association community boat basin and approximately 600 feet east of the
junction of Lee's Cut and the AIWW. The existing marina consists of 2 community docks and
21 floating docks that are all accessed individually from a 6' wide X 450' long boardwalk adjacent
to the existing bulkhead.
On September 27, 1996, the Channel Walk / Shoreline Homeowners Association was issued an
Exemption to repair/replace pre-existing docking facility destroyed or damaged by Hurricane
Fran. This approval allowed for the construction of 21 floating docks, 21 ramps, 2 community
docks, 2 boardwalks and 450' of bulkhead. The floating docks and associated mooring pilings
provided a total of 35 slips that were existing prior to Fran. All work authorized under the
Hurricane Fran Exemption has been completed.
The Wrightsville Beach Land Use Plan classifies the area as Developed/Conservation. The
waters of Lee's Cut are included in the Wrightsville Recreational Area and are classified SB# by
the Division of Water Quality. The area is not designated a Primary Nursery Area and is closed
to the taking of shellfish. Lee's Cut is approximately 200 feet to 400 feet wide at the project site.
The applicant indicates that water depths at the existing pier head line are -8 to -9 feet MLW.
The applicants propose to install 4 new mooring pilings on the outside of 4 existing floating docks.
The 4 additional boat slips created will be sold to individuals within the homeowner's association.
The total number of boat slips in the marina will increase to 39.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The creation of 4 additional boat slips will incorporate approximately 1680 additional square feet'
of public trust area but will still be well under the maximum of 27 square feet per linear feet of
shoreline required in 7H .0208. No navigational impacts are anticipated as the mooring pilings
will not extend beyond the existing pier head line.
Short term increases in turbidity are expected during piling placement.
