PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant is proposing to construct three 12-unit residential buildings, one 18-unit residential building, swimming pool, associated parking, six foot wide pier, 12' X 12' gazebo, 12' X 32' T-head, two 8'X 20' floating docks with four boat slips. Sea Trails Corporation Page Two 9. Project Description The project site is a shoreline area, approximately five to sixteen feet above mean high water located adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway near Sunset Beach in Brunswick County. The site is bordered on the south side by Park Road which extends from Hwy 179 to the AIWW with a community boat ramp at the waterward end. The portions of Park Road and boat ramp adjacent to the project site are actually owned by the applicant (Sea Trails Corporation). On the north side, the property is bordered by a private property owner. The size of the entire tract is 3.82 acres and there are no structures presently existing on the tract. Existing vegetation on the tract includes live oaks, yaupons, wax myrtles and pine trees on the upland portion. A fifty to sixty foot wide fringe consisting of Spartin alterniflora and Juncus roemerianu with a mixture of sea oxeye and Limonium 5M exists along the waterward boundary of the property. An approximately ten foot wide span of Spartin }patens extends landward of that fringe which also contains a sparse mixing of sea oxeye. Portions of the proposed buildings are partially situated in the estuarine shoreline area of environmental concern (AEC). The linear shoreline length is approximately 480 feet. Proposed development will impact adjacent estuarine waters, coastal wetlands and public trust waters. The land use classification for the tract from the Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is Developed and zoned MB-1. The estuarine waters adjacent to the site are classified as SA waters by the Division of Water Quality and are closed to shellfishing. The estuarine waters are designated Primary Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries. The applicant proposes to construct three 12-unit residential buildings, one 18-unit residential building, clubhouse, swimming pool, parking lots, six foot wide pier, 12' X 12' gazebo, 12' X 32' T-head and two 8'X 20' floating docks with four boat slips. The applicant also proposes a concrete walkway on the upland portion of the tract with an elevated walkway extending over the wetlands to the proposed pier. All portions of the pier related structure that are wider than six feet are proposed over open water and will not cover any vegetated marsh. Two of the residential buildings and the north side parking lot are partially located within the 75 foot estuarine shoreline AEC. The applicant has calculated 14.67 % impervious coverage within the estuarine shoreline AEC. The proposed buildings and parking lots are all located landward of all coastal and federal wetlands. The applicant plans to utilize the Town of Sunset Beach water system for potable water supply and the existing Sea Trails sewer system for sewage disposal. All pier related construction is proposed to be at least 80 feet from the nearshore edge of the AIWW channel and at least fifteen feet from either adjacent riparian corridor line. The applicant reports a water depth at the waterward end of the pier as 2.0 ft at mean low water. 10. Anticipated Impacts The proposed development will disturb approximately 3.82 acres of sparsely covered high ground area. The applicant has submitted a stormwater plan to the Division of Water Quality, but as of this date, a permit has not been issued. Since the proposed area of disturbance exceeds one acre, the applicant was also required to submit a sedimentation and erosion plan to the Division of Land Quality. The applicant proposes no fill nor excavation of federal or coastal wetlands. The project as proposed will incorporate approximately 1556 sq. ft. of estuarine and public trust waters. The pier is consistent with the 1/4 rule and greater than 80 feet from the near bottom edge of the AIWW. All pier related construction is proposed to be at least fifteen feet inside of each riparian corridor line. Since there is no proposed excavation associated with the construction of the pier, turbidity should be limited to that which results from the placement of pilings. It should be noted that the northside neighbor has submitted a letter which opposes the project in it's entirety, but did not present sufficient documentation as to why the project should be denied. The applicant appears to have either addressed all of the issues that were raised by the neighbor or is within the bounds of the Division's current rules and regulations. Submitted by: Jerry A.

Existing vegetation on the tract includes live oaks, yaupons, wax myrtles and pine trees on the upland portion. A fifty to sixty foot wide fringe consisting of a altee iflora and Juncus with a mixture of sea oxeye and Limonium sM exists along the waterward boundary of the property. An approximately ten foot wide span of Spartin patens extends landward of that fringe which also contains a sparse mixing of sea oxeye. Portions of the proposed buildings are partially situated in the estuarine shoreline area of environmental concern (AEC). The linear shoreline length is approximately 480 feet. Proposed development will impact adjacent estuarine waters, coastal wetlands and public trust waters. The land use classification for the tract from the Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is Developed and zoned M13-1. The estuarine waters adjacent to the site are classified as SA waters by the Division of Water Quality and are closed to shellfishing. The estuarine waters are designated Primary Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries. The applicant proposes to construct three 12-unit residential buildings, one 18-unit residential building, clubhouse, swimming pool, parking lots, six foot wide pier, 12' X 12' gazebo, 12' X 32' T-head and two 8'X 20' floating docks with four boat slips. The applicant also proposes a concrete walkway on the upland portion of the tract with an elevated walkway extending over the wetlands to the proposed pier. All portions of the pier related structure that are wider than six feet are proposed over open water and will not cover any vegetated marsh. Two of the residential buildings and the north side parking lot are partially located within the 75 foot estuarine shoreline AEC. The applicant has calculated 14.67 % impervious coverage within the estuarine shoreline AEC. The proposed buildings and parking lots are all located landward of all coastal and federal wetlands. The applicant plans to utilize the Town of Sunset Beach water system for potable water supply and the existing Sea Trails sewer system for sewage disposal. All pier related construction is proposed to be at least 80 feet from the nearshore edge of the AIWW channel and at least fifteen feet from either adjacent riparian corridor line. The applicant reports a water depth at the waterward end of the pier as 2.0 ft at mean low water. 10. Anticipated Impacts The proposed development will disturb approximately 3.82 acres of sparsely covered high ground area. The applicant has submitted a stormwater plan to the Division of Water Quality, but as of this date, a permit has not been issued. Since the proposed area of disturbance exceeds one acre, the applicant was also required to submit a sedimentation and erosion plan to the Division of Land Quality. The applicant proposes no fill nor excavation of federal or coastal wetlands. The project as proposed will incorporate approximately 1556 sq. ft. of estuarine and public trust waters. The pier is consistent with the 1/4 rule and greater than 80 feet from the near bottom edge of the AIWW. All pier related construction is proposed to be at least fifteen feet inside of each riparian corridor line. Since there is no proposed excavation associated with the construction of the pier, turbidity should be limited to that which results from the placement of pilings. It should be noted that the northside neighbor has submitted a letter which opposes the project in it's entirety, but did not present sufficient documentation as to why the project should be denied. The applicant appears to have either addressed all of the issues that were raised by the neighbor or is within the bounds of the Division's current rules and regulations. Submitted by: Jerry A.
