9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

CAMA Major Permit No. 120-88 was issued to Broad Reach Investments, Inc. on 6/29/88, and subsequently
modified for development of an upland marina basin, entrance channel and access canal and construction of a
subdivision. The permit has also been renewed several times, most recently renewed on 12/20/04. The permit
is scheduled to expire on 12/31/06. The applicant, Randy Allen c/o R.A. North Development, Inc., has
provided a copy of the contract to purchase agreement and has also requested a permit transfer from Broad
Reach Investments, Inc. to Randy Allen c/o R.A. North Development, Inc.

The property is comprised of approximately 287 acres of high ground and lies adjacent to Sikes Creek, Sanders
Bay and Bogue Sound, off of NC Hwy 24, near Ocean, in Carteret County. The majority of the property
consists of high ground, however, there are a few small pockets of"404" type wetlands. Elevation at the site
ranges from 5' to 7' above Mean High Water (MHW). The project site is bordered, along Sikes Creek and
Bogue Sound, by a continuous strip of"404" type and coastal wetlands (sections vary from 30' -100' in width).
High ground vegetation consists primarily of Long Leaf Pines, Live Oaks, Sweet Gums, Cedars, Magnolias,
Dogwoods and Red Maples. Understory vegetation includes Wa.x Myrtles, Yaupons, and Red Bays.
Transitional species, including: Sea Oxeye (Borrichia frlltescens), Common Reed (Fragmites australis) and
Grounsel-bush (Baccharus halimi(olia) are located along the upper edge of the coastal wetlands. High coastal
marsh vegetation, including, Black Needle Rush r:Jllnclls roemarianlls), Spike Grass (Distichlis soicata), and
Salt Meadow Grass (Soartina patens) complete the transition to the waters edge where Smooth Cordgrass
Marsh (Spartina alterniflora) is the predominant species. No Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SA V) was noted
during the on-site visits.

The waters of the Bogue Sound, located adjacent to the proposed project area, are classified "SA-OR W" by the
Division of Water Quality, and the waters of Sanders/Sikes Creek are classified as "SA". This section of
Sanders/Sikes Creek, adjacent to the project site, is designated as a Primary Nursery Area by the Division of
Marine Fisheries. According to maps provided by Shellfish Sanitation, the area adjacent to the project site is
CLOSED to the harvesting of shellfish.

PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant is proposing to modifY the existing permit by reconfiguring the
existing 75-slip marina, redesigning a 500+/--lot subdivision with amenities and utilities, installing three (3)
observation piers and a boat ramp. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to perform maintenance dredging
within the existing boat basin, access canal and entrance channel.

The applicant proposes to develop 525 lots for single-family dwellings, giving a density of 1.83 units per acre.
No individual units are proposed as part of the application package. As such, each individual property owner
proposing to develop within any AEC would be required to obtain their his/her own individual CAMA permit.

Beginning along the northern portion of the property (adjacent to NC Hwy 24) and working south towards
Bogue Sound, the applicant proposes the following development: Construction of an entrance drive
(Cannonsgate Drive), located in the north central section of the property, a wastewater treatment facility and a
boat storage area (both located in the northeast corner of the property). Four wastewater collection ponds and
two created nature ponds would also be located along the northern portion of the property. Please note that
Cannonsgate Drive would provide access to numerous side streets within the subdivision, however not all of
the side streets, drives and/or courts will be discussed in the field investigation report. Please refer to the
workplat drawings (sheets CP-3 and CP-7) for a detailed description of the road infrastructure.

Mr. Randy Allen
Page Three

Continuing south, approximately 1,900' from the intersection ofNC Hwy 24 and Cannonsgate Drive, and
located outside of the 575' Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), the applicant proposes to
remove two sections of the existing bulkhead that is located at the "404" type wetlands road crossing (what is
now a dirt road, or what would be developed as Cannonsgate Drive). The applicant proposes to reconstructthe
crossing using vinyl sheets capped with 2' x 2' concrete caps. The caps would support two guardrails (located
on each side of the Cannonsgate Drive) that would span the entire section of the crossing. As proposed, the
existing culvert located beneath the bulkhead section would not be replaced.

Heading further south along Cannonsgate Drive, near the center of the property, and located outside-{)fthe
575' Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) , the applicant proposes to construct a
community center, or common area. Development activities within this section include: the construction of a
clubhouse, parking area, mailroom, tennis court, swimming pool, putting green, croquet lawn, fonnal garden,
function lawn, rose garden, carriage drive and drop-off cui-de-sac. Please refer to the workplat drawings
(sheets CP-3 and CP-5) for a detailed description of the community center.

Just south and east of the community center, the applicant proposes to excavate an area of high ground for the
disposal of spoil material excavated from the marina basin, access canal and entrance channel. According to
the application, the spoil basin (150' x 280' x 9') would temporarily be used for spoil deposition and would
not be available for future dredging events.

In addition to the high ground spoil basin, the applicant proposes to excavate two additional nature ponds (one
to the east of the spoil basin and one to the west adjacent to the western property line). As proposed, the two
ponds would be used for recreation purposes only. The applicant indicates that materials excavated from the
proposed wastewater collection ponds, nature ponds and spoil disposal pond would be used for road
construction and preparation of the community center.

The applicant proposes to construct three (3) community observation piers throughout the property. As
indicated in the application package, Pier # 1 (6' x 545') would begin from a common area located between
Lots 475 and 476. Pier # I would extend in a southeasterly direction towards Bogue Sound and would
tenninate into a 15' x 15' "T-head" platfonn. Pier #2 (6' x 85') would be located along the northeastern
property line, between Lots 422 and 423, and would extend into Sikes Creek from a designated common area.
Pier #2 would tenninate into a 15' x 15' "T-head" platfonn over the open waters of Sikes Creek. Lastly, Pier
#3 (6' x 210') would also be located along the northern property line adjacent to Sikes Creek. Pier #3 would
originate from a designated common area, between Lots 403 and 404 and would span in a northerly direction
towards the main run of Sikes Creek. Pier #3 would be located entirely over both "404" type and coastal
wetlands and would tenninate into a 6' x 6' platfonn.

The modification request also includes reconfiguration of the marina basin. Beginning along the northern
shoreline, adjacent to the marina basin, the applicant proposes to construct an 8' x 570' concrete sidewalk
leading down to another 8' wide walkway (via three separate flights of concrete stairs) that encompasses the
entire basin. The two walkways would be separated by the construction of a proposed retaining wall that would
also encompass the entire basin. As proposed, both concrete walkways would be located outside of the 30'
coastal shoreline buffer. However, the applicant has proposed the construction of two concrete
overlooks/plazas within the 30' coastal shoreline buffer (one located on the northern side of the basin and one
on the western side). The proposed concrete plaza would give way to the floating docks located within the
basin however the proposed concrete overlook would not.

Mr. Randy Allen
Page Four

Other development proposed within the existing basin includes the construction of a concrete boat ramp. The
boat ramp (20' x 124') would be located in the southwest comer of the boat basin adjacent to the existing
concrete bulkhead. A 20' x 37' concrete pad, bordered by two blocked wing walls, would give way to the
ramp. The ramp would measure approximately 87' in length from the edge of the existing bulkheadlNormal
High Water (NHW), to the terminal end. The applicant has indicated that fill material (rip-rap and railroad
ballast) would need to be placed beneath the proposed ramp to obtain the appropriate slope of 12%. According
to the site drawings, the terminal end of the boat ramp would be located approximately -7.0' below Normal
Low Water (NL W).

As part of this permit modification, the applicant has proposed the reconfiguration of the previously permitted
floating dock system within the marina basin. As proposed, the total number of slips located within the marina
basin would remain the same as what was originally permitted (75 slips). The floating dock configuration is as
follows: Beginningjust north of the proposed boat ramp and extending around the entire basin, the applicant
proposes to construct a 10' x 1,480' section of floating dock (main dock) that would give access to the finger
piers and dock spines within the basin. One, 8' x 105' finger pier would be located be located along the
western wall, adjacent to the boat ramp, for boat launching. Five, 4' x 40' finger piers would also be attached
to the main dock, adjacent to the western wall. Two, 10' x 225' dock spines would extend south from the
northern wall towards the center of the basin.

Ten finger piers (4-5' x 40',5-4' x 50', 1-10' x 40' and 1-10' x 50') would attach to each of the spines. Seven
finger piers (4' x 35') and one - 6' x 60' would be constructed to the main dock, adjacent to the eastern wall.
Please refer to sheet CP-14 for a detailed description of the proposed dock dimensions and configuration.

Lastly, the applicant is proposing to perform maintenance dredging within the existing marina basin, access
canal and entrance channel to a depth greater that originally permitted. According to the application and site
drawings, approximately 13,500 cu. yds. of material would be excavated using a hydraulic dredge. The boat
basin (650' x 500') would be dredged from --6.0' to -7.5' Mean Low Water (ML W). The dredged footprint of
the access canal would include a 40' (bottom cut) x 600' area, and final dredged contours would average -9.0'
MLW. The entrance channel (40' bottom cut x 500') would be dredged to a depth of -10.5' ML W, or to the
depth of the adjoining federally maintained channel. The top cut of the proposed dredging activities within the
canal and entrance channel would be cut/tapered at a 4: 1 side slope from the edge of the bottom cut. The
proposed dredging activities would remain within the same footprint as originally permitted. Spoil material
generated from the dredging activities would be pumped to the proposed spoil disposal site previously
discussed. Please refer to sheet CP-20 for a detailed description of the spoil disposal basin and sheets CP-17
thru CP-19 for a detailed description of the proposed dredging activities.

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: Since this proposal is a modification of a previously permitted and partially
constructed project, most of the types of impacts that will be referred to herein have been previously
authorized. However, the redesigned subdivision and proposed retaining wall construction would disturb
approximately 1,089,000 sq. ft. of high ground. As proposed, total impervious coverage calculations for
development within the 575' coastal shoreline AEC would be 24.80%, and total impervious coverage
calculations for development within the 75' coastal shoreline AEC would be 30.56%. As proposed, no "404"
type or coastal wetlands would be filled as part of the project. The proposed pier and platforms would provide
access to the marsh and open water and shade approximately 930 sq. ft. of "404" type and coastal wetlands.
The proposed piers/platforms and floating docks would incorporate approximately 32,156 sq. ft. of estuarine
and public trust waters with 27,506 sq. ft. of the total area located within the man-made basin. As proposed,
Pier #2 would exceed the ~ width rule and would need to be relocated approximately 6' landward of its current
location The proposed construction of the boat ramp would impact approximately 2,480 sq. ft. of previously
disturbed bottom within the man-made basin. The proposed boat basin, access canal and entrance channel
maintenance dredging would impact approximately 369,000 sq ft of previously dredged shallow bottom area
deepening the basin to -7.5 ML Wand access canal to -9.0' ML W. As proposed, it appears there would be no
impacts to SA Vs and open shell fishing waters.

The applicant has provided a copy of the Declaration of Protective Covenants, Restrictions, Easements,
Charges and Liens for Cannons gate at Bogue Sound. According to the draft Declaration, Article II, Sect 3 1.
Piers: Specifically states: "No individual piers will be allowed on any lot located within the Cannonsgate at
Bogue Sound Subdivision". Once recorded, the Declaration would limit the amount of public trust usurpation
and potential impacts from boat prop-kicking of the valuable PNA habitat within Sikes Creek and Bogue
Sound.

An Express Low-Density Stonnwater Pennit (SW8050516) was issued by the Division of Water Quality on
6/02/05. Additionally, a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan (pennit# Carte-2005-327) has been issued by
the Division of Land Resources for land disturbance activities.

RE: Cannonsgate at Bogue Sound
Wastewater Treatment and Reclaimed Water Utilization System
Carteret County

DENR. WATER QUALlT"
\',:TWlOS NID STORMWATER BRAiiCIi

Dear Mr. Dorney:

Thank you and Sam for meeting with Tim Baldwin, Ed Andrews and me yesterday at your
office to discuss the Cannonsgate project. We sincerely appreciate your willingness to provide
your input and recommendations on this project.

Following is a brief summary of our meeting, which identifies your concerns as well as your
recommendations for minimizing potential impacts to existing wetlands in the area:

1. McKim & Creed provided a brief overview of the project and explained the
MBR treatment process, the use of (4) reclaimed water infiltration basins, the
operation of the proposed groundwater control system, and groundwater
discharge/dispersal system.
2. After several questions and clarifications, you indicated that you had two
concerns relative to compliance with 15A NCAC 2B.0231(b)(5). These
concerns included:
1. Potential inundation of the existing wetland located south of Infiltration
Basin #4. This wetland has no outlet and the proposed roadway will
further prevent the system from overflowing during wet weather.
II. The use of the artificial wetland for dissipating the discharge from the
groundwater control pumping station does not adequately disperse the
flow to the natural wetland. As such the 350 gpm flow into the system
could negatively impact the hydrology of the wetland.
3. You then provided your recommendations for avoiding these potential
negative impacts. These recommendations are as follows:

1. Install a culvert under the new roadway to connect the two wetlands
located south of infiltration basin #4. The culvert invert should be set to
maintain the existing water level in the wetland while providing an
overflow in the event water level increases as a result of the infiltration
basins. You also would like the Owner to install a surface swale or
culvert to allow overflow from the smaller wetland to flow overland to
the large natural wetland adjacent to Sikes Creek.
11. Eliminate the proposed natural wetland/dispersion structure. Instead,
install a forcemain parallel with the east side of the existing wetland in
the buffer zone between the wetland and Infiltration Basin #1
(approximately 400 linear feet). This forcemain should have sufficient
sprinkler heads to accommodate the required 350 gpm groundwater
dispersal into the wetland.

We have discussed your concerns and recommendations with Nathaniel Thornburg of the
NCDENR Non-Discharge Section. Unless you object, Nathaniel will issue the Non-discharge
.Permit as it currently stands, with the understanding that we will be immediately submitting
the revised drawings to his office along with a permit modification application to address the
modifications you have suggested.

Thanks again for your assistance on this project.

Sincerely,

It
