PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to demolish two buildings and construct a 13 unit townhouse development with a ten slip boat dock in the Neuse River. . FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT: QUEENS POINT DEVELOPMENTS/CRAVEN COUNTY PAGE #2 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicants property consists of a :t 34,000 ft.2 lot located at the intersection of East Front Street and Queens Street and adjacent to the Neuse River in the City of New Bern, Craven County. Two, one story buildings are located on the property with one being used as a cabinet shop while the other is primarily used for storage. Asphalt parking areas are located to the north and west of the buildings and two old railroad spurs terminate on the property. The applicant has calculated an impervious surface coverage of :t 2,200 ft. 2 of area within the Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern. The shoreline area immediately adjacent to the Neuse River consists of a :l:: 5' to 25' wide wetland area vegetated with scirpus, phragmites, hibiscus, taxodium distichum, etc. Also along the shoreline are various amounts of rip rap material which have been placed in the water over the years. Immediately offshore of the property a large number of deteriorated pilings exist which are apparently the remains of a large wharf area. Water depths within the wharf area range from -1.5' to -8' normal water level (NWL) deep. A federally authorized channel is also located just offshore of this property. The waters of the Neuse River at this location are classified as SC Nutrient Sensitive Waters and are closed to the harvesting of shellfish. The project appears to be located just within the City of New Bern's Historic District. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing buildings and build a 13 unit townhouse project in their place. Two buildings are proposed with one having 6 units and the other 7. The typical footprint for each unit will be :l:: 20' wide x 40' long with the roof peak of each unit being :t 42' above the existing ground elevation. Parking will be provided underneath each unit. Between the buildings the applicant is proposing to use pavers stone for vehicle support and a :l:: 90' long x 25' wide storm water retention pond is proposed to be located waterward of the buildings and parking areas. Overflow from the pond would be handled by a grassed swale system with the stormwater overflowing into adjacent wetland areas. The applicant is also proposing to construct a :l:: 180' bulkhead/retaining wall between the upland and wetland areas and some minor grading will occur on the landward side of the bulkhead. The applicant is proposing to remove the deteriorated wharf pilings and construct a :l:: 305' long x 6' wide pier into the Neuse River. Six finger piers and associated tie up pilings would provide permanent mooring spaces for 10 boats in water depths up to -10' NWL deep. Waterward of the pier, the applicant is proposing to construct a :l:: 31' long x 16' wide gazebo. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed will result in the demolition of two buildings and associated parking areas and the redevelopment of the site with 13 townhouses. The units would be contained in two buildings with parking and drives being provided underneath and adjacent to the structures. The applicant has calculated that :t 20,550 ft.2 of the lot will be covered with impervious areas with a :t 24% impervious coverage within the Estuarine Shoreline AEC. A stormwater infiltration and detention facility are also proposed but has not received Division of Environmental .. Management approval at this time. The proposed bulkhead is to be located landward of state and federal jurisdictional wetlands but a written concurrence of the wetland delineation by the US Corps of Engineers (COE) has not been provided at this time. The proposed pier will be :!: 320' in total length and will be the longest pier in the area. The applicant has indicated his desire to go out so far is in order to provide a sales market for owners of deep draft vessels. By being in such deep water, the boats would be able to safely moor during all tidal conditions. A federally authorized channel is also in close proximately to proposed pier and the COE will need to assess the projects impacts to the navigation and future maintenance of the channel. It is anticipated that the old wharf pilings will be pumped up which, in addition to the driving of new pilings, will increase turbidly levels in the area. These elevated levels should be short term in duration and cease once the piling removal/installation is completed. The project appears to be located within the boundary of the City of New Bern's Historic District and therefore must be designed to be compatible with the District. The applicant has not provided any information in the application package which would address compliance with the local requirements of that District.

Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) wetlands on the above-referenced project site on June 12, 1996. One jurisdictional wetland area was identified along the Neuse River shoreline. ECO, Inc. conducted the wetland delineation in accordance with the methodology established in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) Wetland Delineation Manual. A total of 6 consecutively numbered flags were hung along the wetland boundary. An exhibit showing the approximate wetland boundaries is also enclosed. Routine Wetland Delineation Data Sheets were completed for the wetland community as required by the USACOE. Copies of the data sheets are enclosed for your files and submittal to the USACOE. Should you require any further assistance with USACOE consultation on this project, please let us know. If possible, we would like to hear from you after the USACOE makes a determination on the subject site. Thank you for the opportunity to assist Jarvis Associates, P.A. with this project, and we look forward to working with you in the future. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or require any further information. ~....,... \' ~ . t. 1.1'; -..- '. ,; I l1~~C S WJ lill Ii!

We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification has been obtained or waived. According to our administrative regulations, 60 days is reasonable for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an extension of time, by September 23, 1996, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
