This package includes the application fee and two copies of: • Two copies of application form FTA 04-16. • Two sets of an application for a name change/permit transfer. • Two sets of the utility master plan. • Two copies of the USE for the project. • Covenants and associated documentation for the permit transfer. • The application fee of $480. Please let the following serve as a brief narrative for the project: This project is to serve the last two buildings of the Topsail Landing subdivision in Surf City, NC. The project is located directly behind Gateway Plaza at the corner of NC Hwy 210/50 and Belt Rd. The plans show extending the existing gravity sewer to the two new buildings via two 6" lines that will serve as a common drains for each building. The actual infrastructure to be constructed is minimal. The larger issue with this project has been getting the permit transfer documents in order. Fortunately this task has been completed and this package can now be submitted. The USE for this project was completed when the original design work was done. The applicant has paid their fees to the town so the allocation should not have changed. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 910.448.1046. Sinheely, Michael C.
