PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to install a forklift platform for the purpose of launching and retrieving boats. A floating dock will also be installed between the platform and the existing pier on the river. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT: CAPE FEAR MARINA VILLAGE, LLC PAGE #2 --------------------------- 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The project is located on the site of the former Wilmington Shipyard on the west bank of the Northeast Cape Fear River at the intersection of US 421 and NC 133. It is also just down stream of the Isabel Holmes highway bridge. The shoreline of the total site is approximately 1270' in length. There is also an existing basin near the southern property comer which measures approximately 400' long by a maximum of 130' wide at the mouth. There are several commercial size piers or wharfs located along the shoreline. Several of these have been repaired in the past due to damage caused by the recent hurricanes. There were four piers initially located on the site. Three of these will continue to be utilized and the fourth one which is much shorter will be removed. The proposed development will be sited at the northeast corner of the existing basin. The water depths at this location are approximately -4 feet at mean low water. There is a narrow fringe of Spartina aiternifoiia marsh along the basin shoreline. The waters of the Northeast Cape Fear at this location are classified as SC Sw and are a designated primary nursery area. The applicant proposes to construct a forklift platform with attendant floating dock in order to launch boats from a drystack facility which will be located outside the estuarine shoreline Area of Environmental Concern. The forklift platform is show in the plans as approximately 38 feet long .by 21 feet wide. The floating dock is shown as 6 feet wide by a total of .85 feet long. The dock is angled and will connect from the forklift platform to the existing dock located on the river. (See plan) The forklift platform will consist of two 3' wide wheel channels spaced by a Twide section of deck. A service deck 4'. in width will be located on the down river side of the wheel channels. On the upriver side the deck will be approximately 8' wide to allow for a 4' wide service deck and a 4' wide walkway deck. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS This work is being proposed by the applicant to serve a phase of the existing development that is not. yet existent. We have had extensive conversations with the applicant as to what the ultimate use of the property will entail. Although a large scale marina with floating residential structures is in the master plan, as of yet, no application has been submitted that includes this proposal. The applicant has been informed that an environmental document will be necessary at some future time. It has been necessary to monitor the-progress of development at this facility to ensure compliance with existing regulations. The project as now proposed should not result in significant impacts on coastal resources. There will be some minor shading of the wetland fringe that the structure crosses. Submitted by: C. Robert Stroud, Ir Date: 04/02/02 Office: Wilmington Project Narrative Proposed Structures for Lift Facility at Point Harbor Marina The applicant, Cape Fear Marina Village, LLC, wishes to construct a lift facility for the launch and retrieval of small boats for customers using the Cape Fear River. This facility will enable the applicant to use a forklift to pick up boats from trailers or cradles located on the property and lower them into the water for use by their owners. The piling- supported lift pier will extend at an angle from the north side of the large existing ship berth. No new excavation/fill in wetlands or waters is planned in association with this project and no increase in impervious surface area is proposed as part of this submittal. A new floating dock for temporary launch and retrieval mooring will be secured to pilings and extend from the base of the lift pier to the existing floating dock at the mouth of the ship berth. The Division of Coastal Management has determined that an Environmental Assessment (EA) must be prepared and reviewed for the overall Point Harbor Marina project. DCM has also agreed that they will process the application for this lift facility while the EA for the overall project is being prepared and reviewed. The permitting and construction of this lift facility will allow for the applicant to proceed with needed launch operations for patrons during the review process for the overall project.
