PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Jon Giles, on behalf of Roy Mathews and Ron Baxley, has requested authorization for the expansion of an existing docking facility. The project site is located at 579 Lewis Road (SR 1564), adjacent to the AIWW/ Topsail Sound, north of Hampstead, Pender County. To access the site from Wilmington, take US Hwy 17 N to Sloop Point Loop Road (SR 1563). Sloop Point Road is located approximately 13 miles north of the intersection of Porters Neck Road and Highway 17. Turn right onto Sloop Point Loop Road and travel approximately 2.7 miles until you come to a 90 degree bend /curve in the road. Bear right at this curve and make an immediate left hand turn onto Lewis Road (SR 1564). Follow Lewis Road to the end and the project site will be located along the left hand side. The subject property also operates as Marker 90 Seafood. Currently, the property is developed and is operating as Marker 90 Seafood and the Quarter Master Store. The high ground portion of the property is elevated approximately 4' -6' above the normal high water (NHW) level and vegetation consists of a few Live Oaks, lawn grasses, scrub vegetation and ornamental landscaping. There is a lush stand of Smooth Marsh Cordgrass (Spartina patens, sp) that exist just waterward of the existing bulkhead, approximately 70' north of the planned development. The site has been operating as a commercial docking . facility /fish house since at least the early 1990's. The two buildings located on the property are situated along the eastern shoreline, within the 30' Coastal Shoreline Buffer. Just waterward of the buildings, lies a shore parallel bulkhead that approximates the NWH line. The bulkhead extends along the entire eastern shoreline (roughly 322' in length) and connects to the bulkheads running along the neighboring shorelines. Extending from the existing bulkhead, in an easterly direction, the applicant currently maintains a seven (7) slip docking facility. The facility consists of one shore parallel fixed dock that measures approximately 10' (w) x 84' (1), and one shore perpendicular floating dock that measures approximately 8' (w) x 90' (1). Numerous tie pilings exist within the footprint of the facility, primarily for use by the larger commercial vessels that dock and/or pack out. Residential properties border the site to the south and west, and Sloop Point Boat Yard borders the property one lot over to the north. Currently, the applicant owns the property immediately north and adjacent to subject property. Topsail Sound borders the property to the east. The waters of Topsail Sound (adjacent to the project site) are classified as SA by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. They ARE NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. Based on visual observations made by DCM staff during the May 7, 2015 site visit, there does not appear to be any Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) within the footprint of the proposed docking facility. PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant is requesting approval to expand the existing seven (7) slip commercial docking facility by installing an 8'(w) x 80'(1) section of floating dock along the northern side of the property. The additional dockage would bring the total number of docking spaces to approximately twelve (12). As stated in the application package, the new dock would provide transient dockage along the northern side and would accommodate two larger vessels along the southern side (most likely commercial vessels). The site plans provided by the applicant's agent indicate that the 8' x 80' section of floating dock would extend easterly from the northern terminus of the existing shore parallel fixed dock. In addition, the applicant is requesting approval for the installation of nine (9) new tie pilings. Of the nine tie - pilings proposed, four (4) would be located adjacent to the proposed dock (two on either side). The remaining tie - pilings would be installed adjacent to the existing fixed docks. Water depths in the vicinity of the proposed dock range from -1.5' to -5.0', relative to Normal Low Water (NLW). Aside from the details provided in the application package, no other development is proposed at this time, to neither the existing dock nor the associated buildings. Roy Mathews and Ron Baxley Page Three 10. ANTICIPATED UVIPACTS: The proposed floating dock and tie - pilings would incorporate approximately 649 sq. ft. of public trust and estuarine waters. As designed, the proposed floating dock and pilings would be located within 1/4 of the width of the water body, and would not extend beyond the established pier head line. In addition, the proposed structures would not extend into the adjacent channel and would be located within the applicant's area of riparian access. As presented, the proposed floating dock would not disturb any areas of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV), nor would it cause damage to any wetlands. Minor increases in turbidity should be expended during piling installation; however, no long term adverse impacts are anticipated. Submitted by: Jason Dail Date: May 11, 2015 Office: Wilmington Mathews / Baxley Pier Project Narrative Mr. Baxley is proposing to reconfigure the existing 7 -slip docking facility. Located in Hampstead, NC at the end of Lewis Rd. There is an existing fish house with existing docking. The applicant proposes to keep the existing fixed pier and platform and install a new 8' x 80' floating dock to the northern side of the existing platform. This dock will be used mainly for transient vessels on the southern side and two new slips on the northern side. Additionally the applicant proposes to install 9 new tie piles. RECDVED DCNi VVIU ING!
