9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant's property is located at 206 Sunset Boulevard North adjacent to the Mary's Creek and the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) in the Town of Sunset Beach, Brunswick County. Directions from Highway 17
south of Shallotte: Turn Left onto Highway 904 and travel south for approximately 3.6 miles to the intersection of
Sunset Boulevard North. Turn Right onto Sunset Boulevard and travel approximately 1.7 miles and proceed south
thru the traffic circle. Proceed south thru the intersection with Shoreline Drive West The project site will be
located immediately on the left side of the road. The project site is bordered bythe waters of the Mary's Creekto
the north and east, the AIWW to the south and Sunset Boulevard to the west.
The project site is comprised of one parcel totaling approximately 5.22 acres ( +/- 227,383 sq. ft.) in size. The site is
vegetated primarily with lawn grasses and mature oak trees. The elevation of the tract is approximately 13 feet
above mean sea level. A portion of the shoreline of the site adjacent to Mary's Creek has been stabilized with a
bulkhead (approximately 490 linear feet) Coastal wetland vegetation is present water ward of the existing
bulkhead and is approximately 5 -10 feet in width. The remainder of the shoreline along Mary's Creek is natural
with an approximately 3 foot change in elevation from the high ground to the coastal wetlands. The shoreline in
this area is stabilized with vegetation. Coastal Wetland vegetation in this area ranges in width from 10 -20 feet.
The Coastal Wetland vegetation consists primarily of Smooth Cord Grass (Spartrna alterniflora) and Salt Meadow
Hay (Spartina patens). The shoreline along the AIWW is void of wetland vegetation and an approximately 2 -3 foot
erosion escarpment is present due to wave wash.
The Town Park project received a Sedimentation and Erosion Control permit (BRUNS 2015 -011) from the Division
of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources. The applicant states a State Storm Water permit will be applied for from
the Division of Water Resources. CAMA Minor Permit #SB13 -14 was issued for the development of the Town
Park, however the project now exceeds the thresholds for minor development, which requires additional State
authorization and therefore, now requires CAMA Mayor Permit authorization.
The waters of the AIWW are classified as SA -HQW by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources and are
closed to the harvest of shellfish. This area of AIWW has been designated as Primary Nursery Area The entire
property lies within the jurisdictional limits of the Town of Sunset Beach.
10. PROPOSED PROJECT
The applicant is proposing to construct a public park with boardwalks, gazebo, observation deck, signage,
educational kiosks, restroom building, parking area, swings, benches and bike racks. The applicant is
proposing a restroom building, gazebo, parking area, boardwalks, educational kiosks, and bike racks located
on the high ground of the property. As proposed, a portion of the pervious boardwalks, eight (8) "Southport
swings ", one (1) educational kiosk and four (4) benches would be located within the 75 -foot Estuarine
Shoreline AEC. The applicant is proposing a series of boardwalks throughour the project area, some of which
will be 8 feet in width and some 5 feet in width The applicant states that all proposed boardwalks located
within the 30 -foot Coastal Shoreline Buffer would be elevated and slatted. The applicant is also proposing a
200 sq. observation deck at the terminus of the boardwalk located adjacent to the AIWW (see sheet C2.0)
Sunset Beach Town Park
Page Three
11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
As proposed, the public park would result in approximately 12,776 sq. ft. of pervious concrete walking trails within
the Estuarine Shoreline AEC. This would result in a total of 5,302 sq. of impervious surface within the Estuarine
Shoreline AEC. Approximately 2,750 square feet of elevated, slatted walkway is proposed within the 30 -foot
Coastal Shoreline Buffer AEC. An additional 200 sq. ft. of observation deck is proposed within the 30 -foot Coastal
Shoreline AEC. As proposed, all other development including parking, bathrooms, etc. would be located outside
of the Estuarine Shoreline AEC. The proposed development of the Town Park would result in the land disturbance
of approximately 164,714 square feet (3.78 acres).

Sunset Beach Town Park - CAMA Major Permit Request
206 Sunset Blvd N
Sunset Beach, Brunswick County
Project Narrative
The Town of Sunset Beach requests a CAMA Mayor Development Permit for the construction of the
Sunset Beach Town Park The proposed project is located at 206 Sunset Blvd North, east of the
intersection of Sunset Beach Blvd and Shoreline Drive in Sunset Beach, Brunswick County (Lat.
33 883456 °N; Long- -78510351'W) The Sunset Beach Town Park project is located on a±5 22 acre
parcel (PIN 104408886993) and is bordered by Mary's Creek to the east and the ICWW to the south
This section of ICWW (Stream Index 15 -25) is classified as SA;HQW and is located within the Lumber
River basin (HUC 03040207)
Proposed Project
The proposed project consists of a multi -use public town park The proposed amenities to be constructed
within the park include the following
• Pervious concrete walking trails (12,776 sq ft) of both 5' and 8' widths, constructed outside of the
30' Coastal Shoreline Setback, with both 5' and 8' widths.
• Elevated, slatted walkways (2,750 sq ft) constructed within the 30' Coastal Shoreline Setback.
Please note that the support structure /framework will be constructed of wood, and Trex composite
boards are proposed to be used for the decking boards. Please refer to the enclosed Stage 1
Construction Drawings for details on the design of the elevated, slatted walkway and proposed
materials There are 5ft and 8ft portions of elevated, slatted boardwalk proposed. The boardwalk
within the main loop trail will be 9 ft wide from back of curb to back of curb, while the section
leading to the observation deck will be ±6 ft wide from back of curb to back of curb. Please note
that the proposed 9 ft wide elevated, slatted walkway has been designed to allow for a clear 8 ft
walking surface, with 6 inch curbs on both sides, for a total width of ±9' as shown on Sheet S 1.3
of the Stage 1 Construction Drawings The curb is necessary for visitor safety, most specifically
visitors in wheelchairs as the curbs will help prevent wheelchairs from accidentally rolling off the
site of the elevated boardwalk. 15A NCAC 07H 0209 (d)(10)(D) specifies that boardwalks
within the 30' Coastal Shoreline Setback may be greater than 6 ft in width if it is to serve a public
use or need. Therefore, the proposed 9 ft wide elevated, slatted boardwalk is allowable since it is
being constructed for public use within a public park
• An observation deck overlooking the ICWW and Mary's Creek, which will not exceed 200 sq ft
• Three educational kiosks (only 1 kiosk located within 75' AEC and none within 30' Coastal
Shoreline Setback)
• A 20'x20' restroom building (located outside of 75' AEC)
• A 1500 sq ft gazebo (located outside of 75' AEC)
• Parking area constructed of pervious concrete (11,900 sq ft)(located outside of 75' AEC)
• Eight "Southport Swings" (located within 75' AEC, but not within 30' Coastal Shoreline
Setback)
• Four benches (located within 75' AEC, but not within 30' Coastal Shoreline Setback)

Sunset Beach Town Park — CAMA Mayor Permit Application — Project Narrative
10/30/14
Informational Signs (outside of 75' AEC)
Bike racks (outside of 75' AEC)
Existing Conditions
The proposed project site currently consist of an undeveloped, wooded parcel which is currently being
used as a passive recreation park. The project site contains an existing bulkhead along Mary's Creek, an
existing wooden pier within Mary's Creek, and several concrete pads from previous structures which
have been demolished. The project site also contains coastal wetlands along the ICWW and Mary's
Creek
The project site contains numerous mature live oak trees with an open understory The understory was
historically removed when the parcel was previously a private residence. The site is regularly
mowed /maintained by the Town to allow passive recreational use by the public
Project Ilistory
The Sunset Beach Town Park was previously issued a CAMA Minor Permit (SB #13 -14) on September
19, 2013, as the proposed design did not require any other state or federal permits (i.e. Stormwater
Management Permit, Sediment & Erosion Control Permit, etc.) because the proposed disturbance was less
than 10 acres the proposed impervious area was less than 10,000 sq ft During construction activities,
construction materials were stored outside of the approved construction limits, resulting in the issuance of
an Erosion Control Notice of Violation, which resulted in the project requiring an Erosion Control Permit,
and subsequently, a Stormwater Management Permit The requirement of these State permits elevated the
project to a CAMA Mayor Permit.
The Sediment & Erosion Control Permit (Project ID• Bruns - 2015 -011) was issued on September 24, 2014
and has been provided as an Attachment.
The Stormwater Management Permit application is being prepared for submittal, and NCDMLR review is
anticipated to run concurrently with the CAMA Mayor Permit Application review
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC)
This section of ICWW, including all sloughs, sounds, inlets and connecting channels (i.e Mary's Creek),
has a Water Quality Classification of SA;HQW and is subject to a 75' AEC from the Mean High Water
Line (MHWL) of both the ICWW and Mary's Creek. The 75' AEC encroaches onto the eastern and
southern portion of the project and encompasses 79,064 sq ft (±1.8 acres) of the project site The project
will result in 5,302 sq ft ( ±0.12 acres) of impervious area within the 75' AEC from construction of the
pervious concrete walking trails, the concrete piers /footers for the elevated boardwalk and the concrete
pads for the benches and Southport Swings.
