Atlantic RV Resort at Morris Marina
CAMA MAJOR PERMIT APPLICATION NARRATIVE
Applicant/Location: Coresounders of Atlantic LLC
375 Morris Marina Rd. & 1000 Morris Marina Rd.

Coresounders of Atlantic, LLC, the owner of the subject parcels located at 1000 Morris Marina Rd.
(Tract 1) and 375 Morris Marina Rd. (Tract II) in Atlantic, NC is proposing a 237-lot RV park with two
proposed pools, one activity building, dumpsters, and an existing restaurant. Tract I area is 32.40
acres, with the tract area above Normal High Water of 14.72 acres. Tract II area is 26.58 acres. There
are approximately 7.96 acres of 404 wetlands and 4.01 acres of Coastal Wetlands on site across both
tracts. The total project area is 37.29 acres. The property is located along Core Sound, SA;ORW
(Stream Index: 21-35-7). The tracts to the west and south are vacant and wooded, and the tract to the
north is vacant marsh land. There are two residential tracts to the east located in between tracts I and
11. The entire property lies in flood zone AE6. There is an existing restaurant and dumpster, office
building used for storage, and ferry terminal and office located on Tract I. RV lots 1-30 and one of the
proposed pools with restrooms are also existing and were permitted separately under a CAMA Minor
Permit. There is a second activity building on Tract 11 under construction that was also permitted
separately under a CAMA Minor Permit. Coresounders of Atlantic, LLC is seeking a CAMA Major Permit
for the remaining development, which includes the remaining 237 lots, second pool, four more
dumpsters, a proposed pier, a proposed hogslat walkway, and proposed vinyl bulkhead.
The proposed RV park has two already installed septic systems serving lots 1-30 that were permitted
with an Engineered Option Permit (EOP) and will have more septic systems to serve the remaining
proposed lots. The park is proposed as a low -density (<12% BUA) development and shall be submitted
to NCDEQ subsequently with the CAMA Major package. A proposed Erosion Control Plan was also
submitted to NCDEQ utilizing temporary sediment traps, skimmer basins, temporary diversion berms,
and silt fence to contain sediment on site. This development has an existing public water supply well
that serves the activity building on Tract I, restaurant, pool restrooms, and lots 1-30. There is also an
approved public water supply well located on Tract II that will serve the second activity building and
remaining lots.
This area of Core Sound is not within a Primary Nursery Area. The Normal High Water Line dictates the
project boundary along the northern side of Tract I and eastern sides of both Tracts I and II. The
Normal High Water Line along Tract I is 3,363.04 LF in length and 474.12 LF in length along Tract II. The
existing marina basin has 12 existing wet slips and lifts with 6 finger piers. The project proposes
approximately 329 LF of vinyl bulkhead beginning at the end of the previously permitted 398 LF of
proposed bulkhead on the north side of the existing basin and extending to the end of the northern

basin at Lot 40. The project also proposes approximately 204 LF of a 4' wide hogslat walkway on the
landward side of the south side of the existing basin, beginning at Lot 7 and extending to Lot 3. There
is a pier proposed on the north side of the existing canal just north of the existing Coastal Wetlands.
There is a proposed 40 LF culvert proposed just northwest of Lot 40 that promotes double flushing
between the existing canal and marsh to the north. The 36" culvert is proposed at the same location
and alignment of a previous culvert that failed and has since been removed. There are no other
impacts to the 30' buffer on Tract I or II. All of Tract I and a portion of Tract II are in the 575' AEC. The
impervious portions include 195 RV lots with 464 SF of impervious surface on each, all the buildings on
Tract 1, the dumpsters on Tract 11, asphalt roads, and part of the activity building on Tract I. The
proposed percentage of impervious area within the 575' AEC is 11.83%.
Please consider the above information in requesting the CAMA Major Permit. If there are questions or
comments please contact myself per the contact information below.
