9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 6601 Sylvan Lane, adjacent to Howe Creek, in New Hanover County. To
locate the property from Market Street (NC Highway 17), turn right Middle Sound Loop Road and continue
east through the traffic circle approximately 1.3 miles until you come to Sylvan Lane and make a right.
The property of interest is at the terminus of Sylvan Lane.
The property is approximately 1 acre and is approximately 6' above normaN high water (NHW). The
property is currently developed with a single family home and has approximately 200' of shoreline. The
upland vegetation consists of a landscaped yard with a mix of hardwood and pine trees. There is currently
a dilapidated community docking facility extending in a southwesterly direction from the property into
Howe Creek. There is an existing access pier measuring approximately 6' in width and 190' in length with
several remnants of fixed and floating structures at the terminus. It is apparent from Google Earth imagery
that the facility was damaged in Hurricane Matthew in October 2016. Coastal Wetlands measuring
approximately 20' in width run the length of the shoreline in the project area consisting primarily of Smooth
Cordgrass (Spartina altemiflora) and Black Needlerush (Juncus roemerianus). The application states that
the existing docking facility currently accommodates up to five (5) vessels in water depths of
approximately -4.0' at NLW.
The City of Wilmington/New Hanover County 2006 Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters as
Conservation, and the adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Resource Protection. The
waters of the Howe Creek are classified SA-ORW by the Division of Water Resources. The area is
designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they are
CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to replace an existing community docking facility in Howe Creek. The application
states that an access pier measuring 6' in width by 185' in length would be constructed in the same
alignment and footprint as the existing facility. The pier would terminate in a "T" head configuration with
a fixed platform measuring 16' in width by 16' in length. From the platform a ramp would lead to a floating
dock running parallel to the channel and measuring 7' in width by 70' in length. The application states
that the proposed replacement of the existing facility would accommodate up to five (5) vessels in water
depths measuring approximately -4.0' at NLW. The facility would extend approximately 187' into a water
body measuring approximately 325', which would not meet the quarter width distance, but would stay
within the footprint of the existing facility. The facility would not encroach into the adjacent 15' riparian
corridor setbacks on either side.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed new configuration would incorporate approximately 1,856 sq. ft. of Estuarine Water and
Public Trust Areas, which is 187 fewer square feet than the existing facility. The proposed new
configuration would not encroach into the adjacent 15 -foot Riparian Corridor Setback Area requirement.
The proposed structures would extend approximately 187' into a waterbody measuring approximately
325' in width, which would not conform with the 1/4 width distance rule, but would not be any more
waterward than the existing facility and would stay within the footprint of the existing facility. If the facility
were held to the % width distance the slips would be in water depths of 0' at NLW. With the proposed
configuration the structures would allow the facility to accommodate up to five (5) vessels in water depths
of approximately —4.0' at normal low water (NLW). Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during
construction.

The enclosed CAMA.Major Permit application for Gary Hurley at 6601 Sylvan Lane is to construct a 6'x
185' pier with a 16' x 16' deck area at the end. There will also be a 7' x 70' floating dock with 4 to 5 boat
slips. This dock will be for private use by the Sylvan Lane community.
