Bob,
Because of all our congested schedules and I don't see a break any time
soon, please look at all the variance requests for "Generals" and if
they qualify and it looks reasonable, go ahead and issue. If any are
Doug Hylton's, I can assure you he has minimized the impacts. Thanks.

Deborah and Tom,
I just received the first of what is sure to be many phone calls checking on variance requests from the last
couple months. This message was from Doug Linderman concerning the Snow 011763 variance. Please
provide regional office comments on this by responding to this email or include them in Filemaker (be
sure to let me know they're there). I need comments ASAP. I need to call Doug back today or
tomorrow. Thanks.
As soon as I get a free moment, I'll be going through the following twelve (12) variances and acting on
as many as possible. Please provide comments on these as well. If you have already provided comments
on any of these please let me know because I can't find any record of them. Thanks.

Randall Knutson
Craven County
Project Setting
The applicant owns a 1.14 acre parcel of land adjacent to the Trent River near New Bern in
Craven County, North Carolina. The property is located on the south shore of the Trent River south
of New Bern, off of NCSR 1004. The site is a developed residential property with a single family
residence and an existing pier. The lot is vegetated with pine trees, mixed hardwoods, and lawn
grasses. Cypress trees line the 100 foot long shoreline, which has not been stabilized. The lot slopes
sharply from the area adjacent to the house toward the shoreline. There is submerged aquatic
vegetation present along the shoreline, and the vegetation extends approximately 35 feet waterward
of the normal water level.
The existing pier was constructed during the summer of 2001, and is 48 ft long, and
approximately 5 ft wide. There is 16 ft by 24 ft L-shaped platform at the waterward end of the pier.
Water depths at the end of the pier range from 3.5 to 4 ft. There are two slips currently associated
with the pier structure. One slip is delineated by three pilings to the east side of the platform, and an
uncovered boatlift on the west side creates the second slip.
The property is bordered on the east and west by developed residential lots with single family
residences. Both lots are vegetated with a mix of upland grasses, landscaped areas, and naturally
occurring woody vegetation. There is a single-lane dirt road immediately to the south of the property
that provides access to the residences upstream of the project site. The Trent River forms the
northern property line.
The Trent River is classified SB SW NSW by the Environmental Manapement
Commission and is not open to shell fishing at this location.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to add an 8' by 10' double personal watercraft lift to an existing pier.
The lift will be bolted to an existing piling on the upstream side of the pier.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would impact 80 ft'. The proposed modification would provide
permanent slips for two additional vessels, bringing the total number of slips to four. The proposed
lift would be positioned landward of the existing platform, and will provide no impact to navigation.
The proposed lift would be approximately 35 feet from the closest riparian line. Localized short-term
turbidity increases would result from construction activities in the water.
