FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - CHANNEL STRIP LOTOWNERS ASSOCIATION
DAN FORMAN, PAMLICO COUNTY
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: Applicant's property is located
between Seafarer Drive and Skippers Circle, on Pierce
Creek, in Oriental, Pamlico County. The property is an 80'
wide channel easement with a Juncus romerianus marsh of
approximately 150' x 70' at the waterward end. The easement
is approximately 600' long and borders along 14 individual
lots, 3 of which already have water access. The easement
was originally established for construction of a canal to
provide water access to all 14 lots. However, permits to
dig them through the marsh and construct the proposed
channel in a primary nursery area are most likely not
obtainable. Therefore, the applicant (Channel Strip
Lotowners Association) is proposing to construct a 95' long
pier with a 48' x 6' 'T' at the waterward end with tie
pilings to provide 6 slips. The tie pilings will be located
29' off the end of the 'T'.
Total effective pier length, therefore, will be 130'. A
175' x 6' walkway over the Juncus roemerianus marsh will
provide access to the pier. Water depths at the end of the
pier, according to the applicant, are -3.5 NWL. Since this
is a community dock, a Major Permit is required.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed would cover
approximately 2730 sq. ft. of public trust waters with the
pier.
This project has generated a great deal of controversy and
has been submitted in various forms over the last two (2)
years. The two most controversial issues have been:
(1) Does the applicant have the right to apply for a
permit?
(2) Does the proposed project interfere with adjacent
riparian landowners riparian rights?
The waters of Whitaker Creek are closed to shellfishing by the
Division of Health Services, classified as 'SC' by the Division
of Environmental Management, and are designated as a Primary
Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries.
