Please give a brief project description below.*
Belmont Lake Preserve (BLP) is a residential golf course community
on the north side of Rocky Mount, Nash County, NC. It was formerly
known as "Ford's Colony at Rocky Mount". The development was
permitted by the USACE & DWR in 2005/2006. The development was
only partially completed by the time the "Great Recession" hit
between 2007-2009. The original owner went bankrupt. The current
owner purchased the undeveloped portions of the property and
eventually the golf course. Negotiations with the USACE and DWR
began in 2013/3014 to confirm compliance with 404/401 & Tar -Pam
Buffer regulations. The IP was suspended in April 2015 and revoked
in September 2015. The current owner then began the process of
renewing the permits. Meetings and site visits occurred with both the
USACE and DWR and the City of Rocky Mount to confirm existing
conditions and develop a plan of action to re -permit the development.
The development was redesigned to avoid and minimize many of the
previously permitted impacts. Significant delays occurred as the
result of property ownership issues, most notably associated with an
inholding property that "cut off" Belmont Lake Drive (the main
boulevard thru the development), as well as other issues. A site visit
was held with Paul Wojoski in April 2019 to familiarize him with the
project and renewthe buffer determinations. To date we have not
received the buffer determination letter. Further delays occurred as a
result of the COVID-19 pandemic, however the owner is eager to
finalize the permitting for the development. We would like to request a
preliminary meeting with Rick Trone who will understand will be taking
over the DWR permitting for the project to familiarize him with the
project and obtain his guidance on how he would like to proceed. I
have proposed December 17th or 18th for this preliminary meeting
and anticipate it will be virtual given the pandemic. I can possibly
move things around to meet earlier as well.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
