Reference: Request for Permit Modification

Dear Mr. Baker:
Ff--,'Lj3 -
This purpose of this letter is to request a modification of the referenced nationwide permit issued
on December 5, 2001. This request is necessary due to revisions in the commercial shopping center layout
as a result of specific zoning requirements not considered in the initial layout. A 20-foot property
boundary buffer required Ingles to revise the building and parking layout and to provide additional
retaining wall structures. We have submitted revised drawings 3 and 4 of 4 that show wetland impacts
and cross-sections of the revised shopping center layout.
The new layout will result in a total wetland impact of 0.07 acre and stream impact of 190 linear
feet. Impacts in the original plan were proposed to comprise a total of 0.11 acre and 240 linear feet.
Therefore, the re-location and reconfiguration of the building and parking facilities and the addition of
retaining wall structures enabled Ingles to decrease wetland and waterway impacts by 0.04 acres and 50
linear feet, respectively.
The Long Shoals Road site is a prime property for locating a commercial shopping center. Other
commercial development along Long Shoals Road, the presence of I-26 less than 'h mile west, and the
lack of food shopping locations in the general vicinity made this location an excellent commercial
development site. Ingles could not avoid wetland and stream impacts entirely due to constricted property
frontage along Long Shoals Road. However, Ingles minimized impacts by re-configuring the building and
parking facilities and by using retaining walls were practicable.
Thank you for your assistance with this project. If you have any questions or need additional
information please call [phone].
Sincerely,
