9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 9285 Peakwood Drive, adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
(AIWW), in the Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) area of the Town of Calabash, in Brunswick
County. The property is located on the north side of the AIWW, between. Sunset Beach and South
Carolina. The applicant's high ground property is approximately 125 feet wide by approximately 308
feet in depth. The lot averages approximately 20' above mean sea level (MSL) and existing
highground development on the property includes a single family dwelling and driveway. The yard is
landscaped with turf grass and ornamental shrubs around existing Live Oaks and Hickory trees. There
is a retaining wall which separates the level yard and the lower third of the lot (south side). The lower
area includes a natural wetland drain that was partially filled, apparently prior to the construction of
the house. Stormwater is currently conveyed from the wetlands on the northeast side (road side) of the
house, through the retaining wall, by a buried drainpipe. Adjacent to the shoreline, there is a border
of coastal marsh, approximately 320 feet wide. The marsh vegetation is primarily Smooth Cordgrass
(Snartina alterniflora). The marsh transition toward highground and wetland drain area, exhibits high
coastal marsh vegetation, including; Black Needle Rush (Juncus roema_rianus), Three-square (Scirpus,
spp.) and Cat-tails (Typha spp.). Small shrubs including; Marsh-elder (Iva frutescens), Grounsel-bush
(Baccharus halimifolia) and Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera) are present throughout the areas below the
retaining wall. Adjacent to the applicant's property, the width of the open water of the AIWW is 593
feet.
In the project area, the waters of Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway are classified as SA, by the NC
Division of Water Quality. The area is designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA), by the NC
Division of Marine Fisheries, and the area is CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
The applicant proposes to construct a private pier. The pier would be 577 feet long from the retaining
wall and 6 feet wide, terminating in a covered T-shaped platform, 16 feet long and 14 feet wide. A
floating dock, 16 feet long and 10 feet wide, would be installed on the east side of the platform and
accessed by a hinged ramp. Additionally, a boathouse, 20 feet long and 16 feet wide, is proposed on
the west side of the T-head. The total length of the structure would be 591 feet, of which 565 feet of
the pier would be below mean high water (MHW).
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The project as proposed would result in the shading of 2100 square feet of coastal marsh along the
pier walkway. The T-head, boathouse and floating dock would incorporate approximately 704 sqft. of
Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. Minor increases in turbidity can be expected during
construction.
