PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct an elevated boardwalk access with multiple access points over Coastal and 404 Wetlands on several commercial properties as well as Town property, and construct 2 buildings with parking on Town property. Major Modification - CAMA Major Permit No. 05-07 Town of Duck Dare County Boardwalk Project Express Permit Review Program Project setting Chris Layton, Town Manager for the Town of Duck, has requested the attached application be processed as a major modification of the existing CAMA Major Permit No. 05-07 under the Express Permit Review Program. The proposed modification is for a boardwalk extension and the construction of two municipal buildings. The project site is located in the Town of Duck at 1200 Duck Road adjacent NC 12 on Town property as well as on 13 additional properties adjacent Currituck Sound in Dare County, North Carolina. The project site incorporates a total of 463,500 ft' (10.64 acres) and has ±7,895' of shoreline. CAMA Major Permit No. 05-07 was issued to the Town of Duck on 3 April 2007 for the construction of a sound side boardwalk, playground, amphitheater, gazebo stage, picnic shelter and parking areas on Town property. The permit was modified once to extend the pier section into the sound. To date, all work authorized under this permit has been completed. The proposed project area runs the gambit from heavy commercial development (mostly retail shops) with paved parking, some bulkheading and a pier with personal water craft and kayak rentals, to undeveloped maritime forest with Coastal Wetlands and Section 404 wetlands adjacent the sound. The common denominator for the individual tracts of property are the presence of Coastal Wetlands including Spartina alterniflora, Juncus roemerianus, S. patens, S. cynosuroides and Typha spp. The near shore area of the sound has a dense coverage of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). The project area is bordered on the north side by similarly developed and vegetated properties. The site elevation ranges from zero to 33' above the normal water level (NWL). The Estuarine Water of the Currituck Sound in this area is classified as SC water by the Environmental Management Commission and is not open to shellfishing. Existing permits for the original Town of Duck project site include a NCDWQ Stormwater Permit No. 7060708 issued on 21 March 2007, NCDWQ General Water Quality Certification No. 3400 (DWQ Project No. 061215) issued 4 August 2006 and the US Army Corps of Engineers assigned the project COE ORM No. SAW-2006-40261-128 on 28 August 2006 and authorized the development under General Permit No. 198000291. Project description The applicant proposes to modify the existing permit to construct 1,250' of 10' wide elevated wooden boardwalk to provide pedestrian access along the Sound connecting existing businesses as well as the Town Park. The Town is attempting to create a greenway connector for the community and hopefully alleviate heavy pedestrian Major Modification - CAMA Major Permit No. 05707 Town of Duck - Boardwalk Project Dare County Express Permit Review Program Page Two foot traffic immediately adjacent NC 12. The boardwalk will begin at the waterfront shops owned by Allis Holdings (and the current location of the Town offices) and continue south to connect into the existing Town boardwalk. A second section of boardwalk will be constructed from the south end of the existing boardwalk and terminate at the Wings store with access back to NC 12. The meandering boardwalk will traverse open water (±300'), SAV beds (±143'), Coastal Wetlands and 404 wetlands (±824') and uplands (±883'). The layout of the boardwalk was designed to connect the existing businesses along the route as well as reduce the wetland and SAV impact to the maximum extent possible. A portion of the existing commercial pier on the Lucky Duck, LLC property will be upgraded from the existing ±4' width to 10' wide and elevated to match the proposed 7' to 8' elevation(above NWL) of the proposed boardwalk. The existing gazebo at the landward end of this structure will also be elevated from the existing ±2 above the NWL to the proposed 7' allowing for greatly reduced shading of the wetland vegetation present under this structure. While the majority of the structure will be elevated 7' to 8' above the water or wetland, the proposed walkway on the Duck United Methodist Church property is termed low elevation and will be elevated 4' above the wetland substrate as measured to the surface of the decking. The boardwalk at both ends of this property will ramp up to the 7 to 8 foot elevation. The Town also proposes to construct two new buildings well outside the Coastal Shoreline AEC on the site of the old Herron's Restaurant. This site is surrounded by the Town Park and is now Town property. Approximately 14,725 ft2 of this site is currently covered in asphalt, gravel or concrete. The applicant proposes to remove this material and construct 9,172 ft2 of impervious surface associated with the two buildings. The proposed meeting hall will be pile supported and the covered porch will shade 863 ft2 of 404 wetlands. The proposed office building will be constructed on a concrete slab at grade. The proposed parking areas will be constructed using Gravelpave2 and pervious concrete. The total impervious surface proposed is 18% of the upland portion of the Town Park property and the total upland disturbance for the site is 56,628 ft2 (1.3 acres). No new impervious structures are proposed within 75' of the Sound. Anticipated impacts The construction of the boardwalk will result in the shading of 3,000 ft2 of Sound bottom including 888 ft2 of SAV, 3,114 ft2 of Coastal wetlands and 3,250 ft' of 404 wetlands. The construction of the meeting hall building will result in the shading of 863 ft' of 404 wetlands. The project as proposed will result in the disturbance of ±56,628 ft2 (1.3 acres) of uplands as a result of the development activities. David W.

"' TOWN OF DUCK, NORTH CAROLINA September 1, 2010 North Carolina Division of Coastal Management North Carolina Division of Water Quality 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, NC 27889 Re: Town of Duck Soundside Boardwalk/Town Hall Complex - Submittal of CAMA Major Permit and DWQ Stormwater Permit Modifications (Express) Dear Sirs: The Town of Duck is applying for modifications to its existing Division of Water Quality Stormwater Permit (SW 7060708 Issued March 21, 2007) and Coastal Area Management Act Major Permit (#05-07 Issued April 3, 2007) to authorize the construction of a Town Hall Complex and Soundside Boardwalk Extension at the Town of Duck Municipal property located at 1200 Duck Road. This proposed project will also require a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division of Water Quality and an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit from the Division of Land Quality. As you may recall, the previous permits for the Town property authorized site features including a children's playground, amphitheater, gazebo stage, picnic shelter, soundside boardwalk, and associated parking and drive aisles. These facilities have now been completed. The is the final phase of proposed development to the Town Municipal property and will involve the construction of two buildings, a town administrative office and community meeting hall, with a combined footprint of 9,172 square feet. The Town is constructing these facilities in the location of the former Herron's Restaurant and will replace existing impervious asphalt parking and compacted gravel with permeable paving surfaces including Gravelpave2 and pervious concrete. The two buildings will also utilize a rooftop rainwater collection system to limit stormwater runoff and reuse captured water on-site. Construction of these buildings will not involve land disturbance within the Area of Environmental Concern however it is anticipated that the project will shade approximately 863 square feet of non-tidal 404 wetlands. Based on calculations showing all improved surfaces as impervious including the Gravelpave2 areas, the entire project when completed will contain an impervious built upon area of 18 percent. Using an alternative calculation which treats the Gravelpave2 surface as 60 percent pervious based on criteria established by DWQ for flexible paving systems with a seven inch base, the project will contain an impervious built upon area of 12.3 percent. Attached to the Stormwater Permit Application is the required impervious surface breakdown and specifications for the P. O.

Also included is the project geotechnical report which includes an analysis of soil conditions and the seasonal high water table in areas where the Gravelpave2 surface is being proposed. This application also includes a 2,150 linear foot extension to the existing soundfront boardwalk which was authorized and constructed during the last phase of development. The Town would like to extend this facility to provide additional public access to the Currituck Sound as well as to serve as a pedestrian greenway connecting businesses and linking key attractions within the commercial area of Town. To adequately provide for public use, the structure is proposed at 10 feet wide and utilizes the same design as the last phase of the project. The Town has determined that 10 feet is necessary to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and to accommodate the significant volume of pedestrians within the Duck Village Commercial Area during the summer months. With this application, the Town is proposing to extend the boardwalk south to 1186 Duck Road (Wings) and north to 1240 Duck Road (the Waterfront Shops). The Town has acquired easements from private property owners to allow for the construction of this facility. State permitting agency representatives have conducted a field review of the project area and the alignment has been shifted in several locations based on their input. Some coastal and other wetland shading impacts are anticipated as the project transitions from upland areas to surface waters; however, a significant portion of this phase will be located landward of the Area of Environmental Concern. To mitigate the shading impacts introduced by the boardwalk in wetland areas, the elevation of the structure is proposed at 7.0 feet above the wetland substrate except in limited areas where the project transitions to grade in upland areas at the request of property owners who have granted easements for the facility. The Town is applying for these modifications under the Express Permit Program. We are working with VHB, Inc. to provide the design drawings and calculations included with these applications.

Layton, ICMA-CM Town Manager 2 Detailed Narrative Town of Duck, North Carolina Town of Duck Soundside Boardwalk / Town Hall Complex, Phase II September 1, 2010 Applicant: Christopher J. Layton Town Manager Town of Duck, North Carolina Prepared by: Chris DeWitt Vanasse Haneen Rrusflin_ Inc. Municipal Property Detailed Narrative - Plwse II Duck, NC Project History The Town of Duck, North Carolina utilized the services of Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) to develop their Municipal Property Master Plan in 2004. The Master Plan envisioned construction of a town hall in conjunction with a public park and related amenities. The project site is located on Currituck Sound and the plan includes a boardwalk to provide public sound access and passive recreation. Additionally, the boardwalk will extend off-site to provide pedestrian access to Duck Village and many nearby businesses, serving as an alternative to walking along heavily travelled Duck Road (NC 12) which lacks sidewalks. Implementation of the Master Plan commenced in 2006 with the construction of Duck Town Park and other Phase I improvements which are described below. Phase II will see continued implementation of this ongoing project with both onsite and offsite improvements. This project narrative provides details of the improvements that will be carried out in Phase II, including construction of the Duck Town Hall, and extension of the new Soundside Boardwalk. The project site consists of approximately 10 acres located on the west side of Duck Road (NC 12) in the Town's center. In addition to the improvements built as part of Phase I the property currently includes maritime forest, cleared areas, wetlands, a former restaurant site, and a small family cemetery. The municipal site has sandy soils that infiltrate at 11" per hour based on geotecllnical analysis conducted as part of the site design for the park. Development of the town-owned site is largely being limited to areas that are already cleared or developed to minimize land disturbance and impervious surfaces. Landscaped areas will reintroduce native vegetation and soils to ensure a project that is harmonious with the existing environment. Improvements Completed to Date The Master Plan requires a phased implementation of the conceptual improvements with this project being a continuation of the improvements made to date. Phase I improvements were constructed between 2006 and 2009 and resulted in the development of a public park with a variety of amenities. Phase I included construction of an amphitheater, town green with gazebo, and picnic facilities on the southern half of the site. A playground area, multiple points of pedestrian access, and public parking with driveway access were constructed on the northern part of the municipal property during Phase 1. Pedestrian access was provided by constructing stone dust trails to link these amenities. A boardwalk with kayak launch, wildlife observation areas and overlooks was constructed along Currituck Sound. The completed section of boardwalk extends the length of Duck Town Park with observation platforms at either end. A section of inland boardwalk was constructed to provide access across the onsite wetlands and through a forested area connecting the public parking to the sound-side boardwalk. Phase II construction will extend the boardwalk offsite both to the north and south to link the municipal property to pedestrian destinations within Duck Village. Improved Drainage In addition to the construction, drainage improvements were made to remedy an existing roadway flooding problem along Duck Road. This flooding problem was associated with roadway drainage and not drainage from the site or from the existing or proposed improvements. 4 Municipal Property Detailed Narrative - Phase II Duck, NC To correct the existing flooding adjacent to NC12, an infiltration swale was constructed along the new driveway entrance. This low impact technique utilized re- grading to bring stormwater into contact with highly pervious sand, thereby providing quantity and quality treatment. The area for the swale had previously been at an elevation higher than the roadway; runoff would therefore pond at this location, extending into the roadway creating a safety hazard. The ponded runoff would eventually flow directly into nearby wetlands without any treatment for pollutants. Regrading the upland area allowed runoff to come into contact with native sandy soil, thereby alleviating the ponding while also providing stormwater treatment prior to the runoff entering adjacent wetlands. The Town chose to address this pre-existing condition concurrently with park improvements. The swale is not intended to treat or collect runoff from existing or proposed onsite improvements. Improvements constructed as part of the Master Plan implementation will rely on pervious materials, stormwater capture for reuse, and distributed onsite infiltration. Proposed Improvements Phase II will consist of constructing the Duck Town Hall on the former restaurant site and the extension of the boardwalk constructed during Phase 1. The Phase 11 boardwalk construction will link Duck Town Park with Duck Village and the majority of the sound-side businesses. Public access to Currituck Sound is very limited with few opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty and recreation that the sound has to offer. Construction of the boardwalk will provide significant public access to the sound for both active and passive recreation. The boardwalk will provide scenic overlooks along the sound, serving as an attraction to both residents and visitors. The boardwalk will be designed and built to connect to, or replace existing paths, piers, and decks. The boardwalk and related improvements will be designed and built to comply with ADA requirements to ensure accessibility for all users. Duck Road, a two lane arterial, carries an estimated 24,000 vehicles on a typical weekday. Duck Village, just to the north of the municipal site, is home to more than one hundred local businesses making it very conducive to pedestrian travel, despite the lack of pedestrian accommodations. Duck Village experiences significant pedestrian activity with many people walking along Duck Road to access the village. By extending the boardwalk north and south through the area of Duck Village it is anticipated that many of the existing pedestrian trips will be diverted to the boardwalk. With nature overlooks, kayak launches, access to boat slips and fishing areas, the boardwalk is also expected to serve as an independent attraction and induce additional pedestrian trips throughout the Duck Village. The Town of Duck views the boardwalk as an essential component of the Town's vision for Duck Village. It will provide safe pedestrian access throughout the Village, public waterfront access, and serve as a unique amenity to further define Duck and the Outer Banks as a travel destination. The Town has already been approved for a grant from the Dare County Tourism Bureau to pay for half of this project. The Town anticipates leveraging future grant `?m+ - 3 Municipal Property Detailed Narrative - Phase II Duck, NC funds to complete the balance of the project. It is anticipated that a single, revised permit from the Phase I development will be submitted for development of the Town Hall and boardwalk extension. Detailed Project Description and Environmental Impacts Phase II of the Town of Duck Municipal Master Plan entails two primary components; construction of the Duck Town Hall and extension of the boardwalk constructed during Phase 1. Implementation of the Master Plan seeks to minimize environmental impacts resulting from the construction and to mitigate existing conditions. The Town Hall will utilize the former restaurant site which will significantly reduce the amount of clearing and land disturbance necessary to accommodate the footprint of the two municipal structures that will be built. The existing asphalt parking lot and compacted gravel surfaces on the former restaurant site will be removed and pervious materials will be utilized for the new entrance and parking lot which will reduce stormwater runoff and non-point source pollution, Parking Area and Entrance Drive The parking area for the Town Hall is proposed in a previously cleared area to minimize land disturbance. This parking area will use GravelPave, an ADA- approved surface with minimized maintenance costs that can withstand unlimited parking traffic. GravelPave consists of a sandy gravel road base layered on top of the subgrade at a depth determined by the load requirements of the facility. This road base will be greater than 2' above the seasonal high water table. On top of this road base, flexible GravelPave ring sections with attached filter fabric (to decontaminate infiltrated stormwater) are rolled out and fit together with snap fit fasteners, fitting to the contours of the site. These rings are filled with a fine gravel (3/16" or smaller) to just over the ring height. The system provides an overall flow rate of 275 gallons per minute per square foot. Unlike a traditional gravel surface the combination of ring sections and filter fabric prevent over-compaction and filling of void space which eventually leads to an impervious surface. Pervious concrete pavement will be utilized for the parking entrance, the driveway apron, crosswalks, and the handicapped spaces. The pervious concrete will provide added stability for those with mobility impairments as well as where greater impacts result from vehicles, while minimizing runoff. Although pervious concrete will allow infiltration of stormwater, these areas have been calculated with the assumption that they are impervious. Despite inclusion of these pervious paving materials in the calculation of total impervious surfaces, each drainage area on the site will be less than 21% impervious, maintaining the natural infiltration capacity of the site. The design of the Town Hall will also minimize impervious surfaces and the resulting stormwater and pollutant load. The Town Hall will consist of two structures; the main office, located towards the front of the site, and a meeting hall located to the west, just behind the offices. The meeting hall will be built on pilings allowing infiltration of sheetflow in the area which would otherwise be occupied by the building's foundation. Stomwater will be further managed on-site through the use of cisterns to collect rainwater for later re-use to water landscaping, thereby reducing stormwater as well 4 Municipal Property Detailed Narrative - Phase 11 Duck, NC as water consumption associated with landscape irrigation. Native landscaping will be utilized which provides for stormwater interception and absorption, and use of native species that are adapted to the local climate and are more drought tolerant reduce the need for watering. The Town Hall will be designed and built to the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards, however at this time it has not been determined if LEED certification will be sought due to additional costs to do so. LEED standards reflect a commitment to reducing resource consumption, use of sustainable materials, and reduced environmental impacts associated with development and construction projects. Stormwater Calculations and Wetlands Impacts As described above, multiple low-impact strategies are being employed to reduce the quantity of stormwater, and to retain stormwater for onsite infiltration or landscaping use. These strategies will address both stormwater quantity and quality issues. No curbing or stormwater collection is proposed in the parking area or along the entrance drive. Curbing is proposed only at the concrete driveway apron. All proposed improvements are designed to sheet flow into the native sandy soils and infiltrate through the partially pervious GravelPave surfaces. Project proposes 10" gravel sub-base beneath the GravelPave surface. According to North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources and Division of Water Quality subbase in excess of 7" constitutes a 60% pervious surface. Phase II improvements will maintain a minimum 50' vegetated buffer from any coastal wetlands on the site. Wetland impacts are detailed for each of the three subwatershed drainage areas onsite, as are off-site impacts resulting from the boardwalk. With the exception of the cistern to collect rainwater from the Town Hall rooftop there is no collection of stormwater runoff from the improvements and no stormwater structures associated with the improvements, either constructed or proposed. All areas around the improvements are native sand and vegetation, and maintain a minimum 50' vegetated buffer between the improvements and wetlands. Any sheet flow will utilize this 50' vegetated buffer. For purposes of this description, the site was divided into 3 subwatershed areas as shown on the accompanying Drainage Area Map (Sheet 11). Note that all drainage calculations were determined assuming GravelPave as an impervious surface as well as assuming that GravelPave is a partially pervious surface (60% pervious), while the proposed trails and pervious concrete were considered impervious. Both sets of calculations ensures that adequate stormwater infiltration is achieved and total impervious area remains well below the required 24% threshold. Subwatershed 1 Subwatershed 1 is directly adjacent to NC 12, totaling 2.56 acres of open land, maritime forest, and the former restaurant site. When wetlands are excluded from the subwatershed acreage, it totals 2.45 acres. For the purpose of this narrative, the impervious calculations assuming GravelPave as 60% pervious are shown in parenthesis. The drainage area is currently 15.9% (12.2%) impervious due largely to the restaurant's asphalt parking lot and compacted gravel base where the building 4k Municipal Property Detailed Narrative - Phase II Duck, NC stood. Subwatershed 1 also includes a small playground area (approximately 600 square feet) that includes a manufactured mulch ground cover. In subwatershed 1, any sheet flow across the GravelPave northern entrance drive flows north and south off of the crowned surface. The manufactured mulch at the playground minimizes runoff, but any sheet flow will flow east. There is no collection of stormwater runoff from the improvements and no stormwater structures associated with the improvements. Replacement of the existing asphalt parking lot with a GravelPave surface will allow increased infiltration of stormwater, and a reduction in the impervious cover within this subwatershed. Part of the Town Hall will be constructed within this drainage area, but overall impervious coverage will still decrease. The proposed improvements will result in a reduction of 0.01 (0.04) acres of impervious surface in subwatershed 1 with the construction of the town hall buildings, decking, concrete sidewalks, stone dust access paths, driveway entrance, and GravelPave parking lots. The total impervious area within subwatershed 1 at the completion of Phase 11 will be approximately 0.38 (0.26) acres for a total of 15.5% (10.6%) impervious. Subwatershed 2 Subwatershed 2 consists of 4.48 acres (2.55 acres when wetlands are excluded) directly adjacent to both subwatershed 1 and the northern property boundary. This area is primarily pervious, consisting of sandy soils, open areas, and vegetated areas. Phase I improvements in this drainage area include a portion of the northern entrance drive, and the entire parking facility (both of which are constructed of GravelPave, a partially pervious surface). The location of the parking was selected because it was a previously cleared area with limited vegetation. Temporary restroorns (2 port-a-potties) are also located in the drainage area. No further development will take place in this drainage area during Phase II and the impervious cover will remain at 18.0% (7.5%) for subwatershed 2. In subwatershed 2, any sheet flow across the GravelPave access drive flows north and south off of the crowned surface. Any sheet flow across the GravelPave parking and concrete handicap spaces and crosswalks flows west, as does runoff from the area of the temporary restrooms. Subwatershed 3 Subwatershed 3 totals 2.51 acres (2.21 when wetlands are excluded) on the southwest segment of the property. Comprised primarily of maritime forest, this drainage area includes impervious surfaces from the former restaurant site including most of the area previously occupied by the building. Phase I improvements increased the impervious percentage to 13.1% with the development of an amphitheater, shelter, and gazebo as well as stone dust trails linking these amenities. All Phase I improvements were designed to minimize clearing and grading in order to maintain the natural infiltration and treatment capacity of the site's sandy soil. In subwatershed 3, runoff from the picnic shelter, gazebo, and amphitheater sheet flows into native sand and vegetation. Runoff from the gazebo flows north through the vegetated town green. Runoff from the shelter and the amphitheater flows west. 'look _. Municipal Property Detailed Narrative - horse II Duck, NC Construction of the Town Hall and related improvements will result in a net increase of 0.17 (0.15) acres of impervious surface in this drainage area. This will result in a total imperviousness of 20.8% (19.9%) for subwatershed 3 at the completion of Phase II. Though the Town Hall facility will be located primarily within the limits of the previously cleared and developed area occupied by the former restaurant, some additional clearing and land disturbance will be necessary. Approximately 1,007 SF of wetlands will be impacted by the construction of the two town hall buildings. Minimal clearing will be required in order to provide adequate access for the construction of slab foundation of the proposed office building. This clearing will result in approximately 144 SF of disturbance however no fill will be placed in this area. The proposed meeting hall facility will be built on pilings, resulting in partial shading of 863 SF of Section 404 wetlands. This will require permitting from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Boardwalk Extension Phase II will result in a significant extension of the Soundside Boardwalk constructed along Currituck Sound as part of the Phase I improvements. The boardwalk will utilize a ten foot wide surface of wooden decking. Due to high volume of pedestrians traveling within Duck village through the summer season, a ten foot wide boardwalk is proposed. The boardwalk will serve two-way traffic, therefore the ten foot width is necessary to allow for passing and resting points in both directions. Pedestrians and/or persons with disabilities will be able to rest at any location to view the Sound allowing enough room for other pedestrians to pass. Due to the variety of environments through which the boardwalk passes, some sections will be built on- grade though the majority will be above-grade, crossing open water and wetlands. The structure will be built to comply with ADA regulations to ensure accessibility by people with mobility impairments. Changes in elevation will be accomplished through gradual grade changes that do not exceed 5% running slopes. At several locations the boardwalk will tie into, or co-locate with existing decks, piers, or walkways. Appropriate measures, up to and including complete reconstruction of existing facilities will ensure ADA compliance and continuity of the structure. Beginning at the overlook deck located at the southern terminus of the existing boardwalk, Phase II construction will extend the boardwalk south from Duck Town Park approximately 540 linear feet. The extension will terminate by tying into an existing wooden pier located at 1188 Duck Road. This section of boardwalk will provide access to several businesses adjacent to and immediately south of Duck Town Park. This section of boardwalk will be built on pilings above grade resulting in 1,540 square feet of wetland shading impacts associated with this section, of which 1,440 SF are CAMA wetlands and 100 SF are COE wetlands. The majority of the boardwalk extension proceeds northward, linking the municipal site with Duck Village. Phase II will begin at the northern terminus of the existing boardwalk located at the northern end of Duck Town Park. The boardwalk will continue through undeveloped and developed portions of both private and publicly owned properties. The Phase II construction will terminate on the existing deck at the Waterfront Shops located at 1240 Duck Road. The Town has obtained a perpetual easement from each property owner to construct and maintain the boardwalk for '%W _ 7 Municipal Property Detailed Narrative - Phase 11 Duck, NC public use. Therefore there will be no need to purchase right of way to construct the boardwalk. The boardwalk will be located in several different environments, including uplands and wetlands, throughout its length. Where it begins at the northern end of the Duck Town Park, it will be constructed as an elevated structure over the open water of the Currituck Sound. As it continues roughly 50 feet to the north along the western boundary of the Nags Head Hammocks property (1212 Duck Road) it will cross a small upland island and then continue as an elevated structure over 404 wetlands and a small CAMA/404 wetland area until it reaches the middle portion of the property at 1214 Duck Road, which is the site of the Duck United Methodist Church. The elevated section of the structure will result in shading impacts to 1,592 square feet of wetlands, of which 335 SF are CAMA 'oetlands and 1,257 SF are COE wetlands. At the site of the church the structure will be constructed at-grade in an existing undeveloped, upland area and will continue this way for the remainder of the property at 1214 Duck Road. As it approaches the northern boundary of this property, it will again be elevated over existing 404 wetlands until it reaches the deck of the southernmost building at 1216 Duck Road. The Boardwalk will co-locate on the existing deck of this building for a short distance where it will then separate and continue to the north over an existing upland area and sidewalk until it reaches the northernmost building of 1216 Duck Road. Elevated elements of this section of boardwalk will result in shading of 941 square feet of wetlands, of which 161 SF are CAMA wetlands and 780 SF are COE wetlands. At this point, the boardwalk will co-locate along an existing deck for the length of the building. It will then continue along an existing walkway until it reaches the building at 1226 Duck Road. The boardwalk will co-locate on the existing deck of this building and then ramp down from the building as a separate structure and continue to the north until it turns west as it reaches the existing four-foot wide pier at 1226 Duck Road. To improve access and maintain continuity along the structure the Town will reconstruct this existing pier as a 10-foot wide boardwalk in the same location over the open water of the Currituck Sound. The Boardwalk will continue west along the alignment of the existing pier for a distance of approximately 305 feet where it will then separate and turn to the north. Increasing the width of the existing four foot wide pier will result in shading impacts to 534 square feet CAMA wetlands. From this point the boardwalk will continue approximately 300 feet as an elevated structure over the open water of the Currituck Sound west of the Dare County Water Tower until it connects to the existing elevated deck of the Waterfront Shops at 1240 Duck Road. In addition to the boardwalk a new pier with boat slips at the Waterfront shops will extend westward from the existing deck over the open water of the Currituck Sound. This section of boardwalk will result in shading impacts to 92 square feet CAMA wetlands. However, since much of this section of the structure is situated over open water it will result in shading 888 square feet of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). The total length of the Phase II Boardwalk extension is approximately 2,150 linear feet. There will be minimal vegetation clearing or tree removal for this project. Municipal Property Duck, NC Detailed Narrative - Phase 11 Wetland and SAV impacts will primarily be associated with shading resulting where the structure is above grade or over open water. Low-Density Criteria The municipal property site plan meets all criteria to be considered low-density development. No high-density areas of development will occur across the 10 acre site; • No stormwater will be collected other than rooftop rainwater harvesting. Runoff from all proposed improvements will utilize sheet flows and natural infiltration; • A minimum 50' buffer will be maintained between proposed improvements and coastal wetlands, and; • Each drainage area, as well as the total site, will be less than 24% impervious.

The project will involve the construction of two buildings, a town administrative office and community meeting hall, with a combined footprint of 9,172 square feet. The project will also involve a 2,150 linear foot extension to the Town of Duck Soundside Boardwalk. As requested by representatives of state environmental permitting agencies during our project pre-application meeting on July 13, 2010, the Town has reviewed requirements for preparation of environmental documents in accordance with the North Carolina State Environmental Policy Act. Specifically, the Town has reviewed 15A NCAC OIC .0408 and has concluded that the proposed project falls under both the general and specific minimum criteria established by this rule and would therefore be considered a Minor Construction Activity. Hence, preparation of a State Environmental Policy Act document would not be required in order to complete this project. With reference to general or specific criteria, the Town of Duck project: - Is not located near waters classified as either Outstanding Resource Waters or High Quality Waters by the State of North Carolina. - Does not involve the loss of more than one acres of class WL wetlands - Does not involve any proposed stream channel modifications or stream channel disturbance. - Will not involve the construction or expansion of a marina - Does not include excavation of navigation channels - Proposed buildings have a combined footprint of less than 10,000 square feet P.

The project will involve the construction of two buildings, a town administrative office and community meeting hall, with a combined footprint of 9,172 square feet. The project will also involve a 2,150 linear foot extension to the Town of Duck Soundside Boardwalk. The project application requires a statement from the Town of Duck that the project is compliant with local zoning regulations. The proposed Town Hall Complex is located in the Town's Conservation/Public Recreation zoning district. This zoning district allows municipally owned buildings and facilities as a permitted use. The site plan has been drawn to comply with all local zoning standards and dimensional requirements. The Town of Duck Soundside Boardwalk traverses through the Town's Village Commercial zoning district and is a permitted structure. The Town's zoning ordinance exempts the Boardwalk from lot coverage and setback requirements. Therefore, the Boardwalk will also comply with Town zoning requirements. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this information. Thank you. Sincerely, Andrew Garman, AICP Director of Community Development P. O.

After the Initial Term of this lease, this lease shall be automatically extended in perpetuity for additional periods of five (5) years each (each a "Renewal Term"), upon the same terms and conditions of the Initial Term of this lease, unless either parry gives to the other party one hundred eighty days (180) days' written notice before the end of the Renewal Term about to expire in order to give notice that the lease shall not be so extended.

If the boardwalk constructed on the Leased Premises is all or substantially destroyed, and if the Town's Town Council adopts a resolution that the portion of the Town's boardwalk on the Leased Premises will not be rebuilt or repaired, this lease shall terminate one hundred eighty (180) days after such resolution is adopted by the Town's Town Council.
