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

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.

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

Gravelpave2 product. 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. The Town's representative with VHB is Chris DeWitt. His contact information is
cdewitt@vhb.com or 757-220-0500. If you require additional information or have any questions
regarding any of the information provided herein, please contact Chris or Andy Garman, the
Town's Director of Community Development (aQarman@townofduck.com or 252-255-1234),
and they will do their best to respond to you as soon as possible. We look forward to working
with you throughout the duration of this project and beyond.

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

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.

_.
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

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.

Re: Town of Duck Soundside Boardwalk/Town Hall Complex - Compliance with the North
Carolina Environmental Policy Act
Dear Sirs:
The Town of Duck is applying for modifications to its existing Division of Water Quality
Stormwater Permit and Coastal Area Management Act Major Permit to authorize the
construction of a Town Hall Complex and Soundside Boardwalk Extension at the Town's Park
property located at 1200 Duck Road. 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

Re: Town of Duck Soundside Boardwalk/Town Hall Complex - Compliance with Local
Zoning Requirements
Dear Mr. Moye:
The Town of Duck is applying for modifications to its existing Division of Water Quality
Stormwater Permit and Coastal Area Management Act Major Permit to authorize the
construction of a Town Hall Complex and Soundside Boardwalk Extension at the Town's Park
property located at 1200 Duck Road. 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.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the sum of One Dollar
($1.00) to it in hand paid, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Grantor hereby gives and
grants to the Town a nonexclusive, perpetual and permanent public right and easement over the

the Town's sole cost and expense, subject to annual budget appropriations or amendments thereto
by the Town Council of the Town, including but not limited to the right to maintain and make

easement areas located on property of adjoining property owners and conveyed to the Town by such
adjoining property owners as part of the municipal boardwalk project, including but not limited to
surface, subsurface, riparian and air rights.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the aforesaid rights, privileges, and easement unto the Town,
its successors and assigns, for the purposes set forth herein.
GRANTOR AND THE TOWN, for themselves and their heirs, successors and assigns,
further agree as follows:
1. Right to Construct Municipal Public Boardwalk. The Town shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to construct, maintain, operate, renovate, reconstruct, expand (within the
Easement Area), contract, and remove the municipal boardwalk and related improvements
contemplated and authorized by this Easement Agreement, all in the Town's sole and absolute
discretion. If constructed, the municipal boardwalk and related improvements will be constructed

perpetual right and easement to interconnect the Town's municipal boardwalk with Grantor's
Interconnected Improvements. Once Grantor's Interconnected Improvements are interconnected with
the Town's municipal boardwalk, Grantor agrees that Grantor's Interconnected Improvements shall
be open and unobstructed for use by the public and by the Town in perpetuity as part of the Town's
municipal boardwalk. Grantor shall not exclude any members of the public or the Town from using

and/or Grantor's business, and Grantor reserves the right to contact Town's law enforcement for
assistance to remove such a person from the premises. Grantor shall maintain the Grantor's
Interconnected Improvements in good and safe condition at all times for as long as the municipal
boardwalk is interconnected to the Grantor's Interconnected Improvements. Grantor shall remain
solely liable and responsible for all aspects of the Grantor's Interconnected Improvements, including
but not limited to the upkeep, maintenance, repair, replacement, liability insurance, property taxes,
and all costs associated with the same. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless the Town, from and against all claims, demands, loss and damage by
Grantor, and Grantor's heirs, successors and assigns, arising out of or relating to the interconnection

of Grantor's Interconnected Improvements with the Town's boardwalk, provided such claims do not
result from the acts, negligence or willful misconduct of the Town, its successors or assigns.
3. Easement Area Description Modification or Clarification. The parties understand and
agree that the legal description of the Easement Area shown on the attached Exhibit A is preliminary
and was prepared by the Town for the purpose of applying for permits and approvals to construct the
municipal boardwalk. The parties understand and agree that after any approval and issuance of
permits and approvals for the construction of the municipal boardwalk, and after the necessary
survey and engineering work for the municipal boardwalk has been completed, modifications and/or
clarifications of the legal description of the Easement Area might be necessary. Grantor agrees to
cooperate with the Town by signing and delivering to the Town any reasonable amendment to this
Easement Agreement to effectuate any such non-substantial modification and/or clarification of the
legal description of the Easement Area.
4. Town's Right to Grant Easements. The Town shall have the right to grant easements
or rights-of-way across the Easement Area for utilities, public access and use rights incident to the
use of the Easement Area, or other public purposes consistent with the primary purposes set forth

successors and assigns, reserves the right to grant easements or rights-of-way for underground
utilities within the Easement Area for the benefit of the Grantor's land adjacent to the Easement
Area, at such locations and in such manner as may be approved by the Town in the exercise of the
Town's reasonable discretion, provided such easements do not interfere with the use of the Easement
area as set forth herein and provided Grantor repairs any damage to the Easement Area resulting
from the implantation of such utilities.
6. Rules and Regulations. The Town shall have the sole right to promulgate rules and
regulations for the reasonable use of the Easement Area by the public, provided the Easement Area
is used for the purposes stated herein.
7. No Commercial or Private Use. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that Grantor shall
not use any portion of the Easement Area for private, commercial or business use, which in any way
interferes with the public use of the municipal boardwalk, whether during or outside any regular
operating hours of the municipal boardwalk that may be established by the Town, including but not
limited to tables, chairs, bandstands, signs, or social or business functions. The Town shall have
the right to further regulate all aspects of use of the Easement Area as provided herein.
8. Further Easements for Construction and Maintenance. If reasonable access by the
Town to the Easement Area is otherwise unavailable, Grantor further grants to the Town reasonable
access from time to time to the Easement Area over any remaining contiguous property owned by
Grantor for the purpose of developing, constructing, reconstructing, replacing and maintaining the
municipal boardwalk located or to be located within the Easement Area (but not for access by the
general public) for the purposes set forth herein; provided, the Town shall (a) to the extent possible,
utilize existing roads for such purposes, (b) repair any damage resulting from such access, and (c)

approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
10. Indemnification of Grantor. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Town shall
defend, indemnify and hold harmless Grantor, and Grantor's heirs, successors and assigns, from and
against all claims, demands, loss and damage, whether caused by the Town or by third parties,

to give notice that the lease shall not be so extended.
The total prepaid rental during the Initial Term of this lease and for all Renewal Terms shall

specifications as provided by the Town's engineers and architects.
This lease shall terminate if the Town has not applied for permits for the initial construction
of the boardwalk within 12 months after the date of this lease. If the Town has applied for permits

months after the date of this lease.
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. If Town wishes to relocate the
portion of the boardwalk outside of the Leased Premises and onto other property owned by Church,
