9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 22 Backfin Pointe Road on Figure Eight Island, adjacent to Banks Channel and
Middle Sound, in New Hanover County. The island is accessed from the mainland at the end of Edgewater
Club Road (SR 1402), by private bridge over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) and an earthen
causeway, which traverses Middle Sound. Heading east on the causeway, turn right on Beach Road South
and travel south approximately 0.2 miles. Turn right onto Backfin Pointe Road and continue until you reach
the property of interest, which would be located on the right. The applicant maintains a two story single-
family residence, which borders a man-made canal within Banks Channel. Upland vegetation consists of
ornamental shrubbery and maintained lawn grass. The lot is approximately 0.3 acre in size and averages
approximately 4-6 feet above normal high water (NHW). The 100 feet of shoreline frontage is stabilized by
an existing wooden bulkhead. Located water of the bulkhead is an area of coastal wetlands located just
waterward of the bulkhead consisting primarily of salt meadow cordgrass (Spartina patens) and smooth
cordgrass (spartina alterniflora), measuring approximately 50 feet wide. An existing access pier extends in
Banks Channel measuring (-42' in length by 6' in width), which terminates to a "T-head" platform (95 in
length by 10' in width and 10' in length by 14' in width). An access ramp leads from the "T-head" platform
onto a floating dock (20 in length by 10'in width), which runs in the same alignment as the fixed pier. The
existing docking facility currently accommodates up to two (2) slips.
The New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters and high ground portion at the property
as Conservation. The waters of Banks Channel and Middle Sound are classified SA-ORW by the Division of
Water Quality. They are NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine
Fisheries and they are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to reconfigure an existing private docking facility to accommodate up to five vessels
within Banks Channel. A new 1-shaped" floating dock system (two (2) 20' in length by 6' in width) would be
constructed on the northwest side of the existing floating dock. Anew boatlift (12' in length by 14' in width)
would be constructed on the eastern side of the existing floating dock. The proposed new structures would
provide docking space for up to five (5) vessels. The application states that the existing water depth in the
area of the proposed floating structures would be approximately -4.0'at normal low water (NLW).
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed structures would incorporate an additional 408 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Pubic Trust
Area. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during construction. The proposed structures would
extend approximately 45 feet into a waterbody, which measures approximately 285 feet across. This
distance would conform with both the 1/4 rule and the established pier lengths. Based on the application,
the proposed structures would not encroach into the 15' Riparian Property Setback requirement.
