Applicant: ML Marina, LLC, P.O. Box 90, Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948
References:
1: Current approved plan: Current Permit Plan entitled "Historic Manteo, Preferred
Marina Expansion, Historic Manteo Development" Sheet No. D, prepared by Quible and
Associates, P.C., dated 01/30/06 with last revised date 04/24/06.

Project Narrative:
Mashes Light Marina is located on Shallowbag Bay on Roanoke Island in the Town of Manteo,
Dare County North Carolina. The Marina is conveniently located on the Outer Banks with direct
access to the North Carolina Sounds, ICW and the Atlantic Ocean via Oregon Inlet. The location
is perfectly suited to suit the needs of inshore and offshore fishing boats with easy access to
inshore and world class offshore fishing. There is also a growing cruising community, sail and
power which frequent the area. There are few marinas on the Outer Banks and currently there is a
shortage of available slips in nearby marinas, including the Manteo Town Docks and Pirates
Cove Marina both facilities having significant waiting list for slip availability particularly for
long term slip rentals.
Marshes Light Marina has all the amenities a boater would desire including ships store, water and
pump out facility's but suffers significant problems with rough seas within the basin and slip
areas. The Marina opens to the North and East with an unobstructed fetch of 3.3 miles across
Shallowbag Bay and the Croatan Sound. The prevailing winter winds are North East and the
rough water in the marina become untenable during the slightest North East to East wind. The
prevailing South West summer winds also create rough water conditions in the marina. This
rough sea condition results in damage to the slips and moored vessels and is a safety issue to
persons boarding or disembarking. As a result the marina has gotten a reputation among boaters
as being unsafe and not a safe place to dock your boat due to the nearly constant rough water.
Many boaters have rented slips but left after a short time after experiencing these conditions.
Nearby marinas including the Town Docks in Mateo are better protected and do not experience
the rough conditions all to frequent in Marshes Light. These other marinas are full most of the
time. The applicant has come to realize due to several years of lost rentals and constant interest
and dialogue with prospective slip renters that the Marina would be full if it could provide safe
harbor from the rough water

Marshes Light Marina has been in existence for more than 30 years and currently has 60 slips
which are rented on a transient and long term basis. The Applicant currently holds a permit (124-
05) which was transferred to ML Marina, LLC on 3/3/17 and renewed on May 10, 2018.
Referring to the current approved plan entitled "Historic Manteo, Preferred Marina Expansion,
Historic Manteo Development" Sheet No. D, prepared by Quible and Associates, P.C., dated
O1/30/06 with last revised date 04/24/06 the permit allows multiple pier additions and up to 188
slips.
At this time the Applicant seeks to obtain a CAMA permit modification to:
1. Install a new 10' wide North pier in the alignment shown on the referenced site plan.
2. Install three currently permitted 10' wide piers running south from the existing South Pier
in the alignment shown on the referenced site plan.
3. Install an additional 93 slips of various sizes as depicted on the referenced site plan for a
total of 153 slips. Note this is a reduction from the 188 slips originally permitted.
4. Install a Handicapped accessible Kayak Launch off the new North pier with a floating 18'
x 68' platform with a kayak storage rack.
5. Install a wave attenuator running North -South as depicted and detailed on the referenced
site plan to break the seas resulting from conditions identified above.
The modifications are shown on a Permit Modification Plan prepared by Michael W. Robinson
P.E., P.L.S. entitled "APPLICANT: ML Marina, LLC Development, MARINA EXPANSION"
dated 11-26-18, 3 sheet set. Each modification is denoted by a P-(1-6) legend identifier with a
summary of each addition or modification summarized below:
Proposed Permit Modification P-1:
Current approval - 2681.f. of 10' wide pier which has not been constructed with
48 proposed boat slips of various sizes.
Proposed Modifications - 4001.f. of 10' pier with 24 boat slips (8 - 14' x 36'
slips, 8 - 20' x 40' slips and 5 - 24' x 64' slips). Additional Modification includes
a Handicapped accessible Kayak Launch with a floating 18' x 68' platform and
kayak storage rack.
Proposed Permit Modification P-2:
Proposed Modifications - 6601.f. wave attenuator with no proposed slips.
Proposed Permit Modification P-3:
Current approval - 12 proposed boat slips of various sizes accessed from the
existing 10' wide pier.
Proposed Modifications - I I proposed boat slips (24' x 64') accessed from the
existing 10' wide pier.
Proposed Permit Modification P-4:
Current approval - 2151.f. of 10' wide pier which has not been constructed with
24 proposed boat slips of various sizes
Proposed Modifications - 2221.f. of 10' pier with 24 boat slips (12 - 18' x 38'
slips and 12 - 18' x 30' slips).

Proposed Permit Modification P-5:
Current approval - 201 l.f. of 10' wide pier which has not been constructed with
26 proposed boat slips of various sizes
Proposed Modifications - 201 l.f. of 10' pier with 24 boat slips (12 - 15' x 30'
slips and 12 - 15' x 25' slips).
Proposed Permit Modification P-6:
Current approval - 160 l.f. of 10' wide pier which has not been constructed with
11 proposed boat slips of various sizes
Proposed Modifications - 160 IS. of 10' pier with 11 boat slips (14' x 22' slips).
As previously outlined this project will serve the growing needs of the Outer Banks Boating
Community and the CAMA permit modification will resolve a significant use and safety issue
within the existing marina. This will allow many more boaters to make use of this well located
marina.
