The applica'nt's property is a narrow 3.46 acres bordering Town
Creek and Hwy 70 (Cedar Street) in Beaufort, Carteret County. The
tract consists of twosegments: the eastern portion is currently
used for an off-loading facility for commercial fisheries products
and consists of a bulkheaded harbor with docking space, a process-
ing storage shipping.building, and unimproved parking areas. The
west segment consists of undeveloped highground area bordered by
a 40-75' fringe of smooth cordgrass marsh.
The applicant is proposing improvements to the harbor area which
will enhance the offloading capabilities of the large shrimping
and fishing vessels which dock at the location. These improvements
include on the west side of the harbor a 100' long pier 10' wide,
and proposed to be connected to this is an 8' wide concrete apron
which will border the bulkhead completely around the basin. Two 15'
square wharfs are proposed south of the dock along with the pier ex-
tension on the west side.
