9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is identified on the Pender County tax maps as Part of Tract 3 off N. Anderson Blvd. /Highway 50, Topsail
Beach, Pender County, adjacent to Banks Channel and Topsail Sound. To get to the site from Wilmington take US Hwy
17 N to Highway 50 (approximately 13 miles north of Porters Neck). Turn right onto Highway 210 and travel to the
intersection of Highway 50 and Highway 210. Turn right onto Highway 50 and proceed onto Topsail Island. Continue
along Highway 50 (heading south) approximately 4.5 miles before turning right into a private drive off of N. Anderson
Blvd. (Highway 50). The private drive is located approximately 600' south of Nixon Drive, Topsail Beach.
The lot is approximately 8,500 sq. ft. in size and existing man -made features on the property include a pier and docking
system. The high ground portion is elevated approximately 12' -15' above the Normal High Water (NHW). Vegetation on
the tract consists of Maritime Forrest (Live Oaks) and scrub vegetation. The highground transitions to an area of high
marsh consisting of Spikegrass (Distichlis spicata), Salt Meadow Hay (—Spartina patens), and Black Needlerush (Juncus
roemerianus) which extends approximately 30' -40' west of the western property boundary bordering the Normal High
Water (NHW) level. The high marsh transitions waterward to an area of low marsh (approximately 120' in width) that
consists primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). The property has approximately 50 linear feet of
shoreline, all of which is naturally stabilized.
The existing pier is located along the center line of the property, and extends into Banks Channel. The existing pier (6' x
185') terminates approximately 40' feet beyond the edge of the marsh (bordering the property). A 16'x 16' elevated "T-
head" shaped platform is located at the terminal end of the pier. The platform provides access to a 6' x 20' section of
floating dock that runs perpendicular to -the shoreline, in line with the existing pier. A 12' x 12' boatlift is located along
the southern side of the existing floating dock, within the applicant's area of riparian access. The width of the waterbody
in this area of Banks Channel, in the vicinity of the project area, measures approximately 950', as measured from the edge
of marsh to edge -of marsh. Current water depths around the existing facility range from approximately -3.0' to -8.0',
relative to Normal Low Water (NLW).
The waters of Banks Channel, adjacent to the project site, are classified as SA by the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality. They ARE NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the North Carolina Division of Marine
Fisheries, and they are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to construct a new 5' x 4' access platform and 5' x 5' jet -ski lift along the northern side of the
existing docking facility. Specifically, the proposed lift would be located landward of the existing 16' x 16' platform,
between the end of the docking facility and the edge of marsh. As proposed, the platform and jet -ski lift would not extend
beyond the end of the existing docking facility, nor would it be located within the adjacent 15' riparian corridor setback.
In addition, the proposed lift would be located landward of the edge of the maintained channel. Water depths in the area of
the proposed boatlift range from -2.0' to -3.0', relative to NLW.
According to the work plat drawings, the jet —ski lift would be located outside of the maintained channel, within the pier -
head alignment, within 1/4 of the width of the waterbody and within the applicant's area of riparian access. As planned,
the addition of the jet -ski lift would increase the total slip count to three (3).
Anthony Jeffs

10. ANTICIPATED IlV) PACTS
As proposed, the planned development would incorporate approximately 45 sq. ft. of Public Trust Waters. The applicant
has approximately 50 linear feet of shoreline allowing up to 400 sq. ft. of platform or docking space. As constructed, the
total square footage of the existing facility (platform and floating dock) equals approximately 256 sq. ft. No impacts to
Coastal or "404" wetlands would occur as a result of construction. As previously indicated, the planned development
would be located within the applicant's area of riparian access (outside of the 15' setback), within the pier -head line and
within 1/4 of the width of the waterbody. Short term increases in turbidity could be expected due to piling installation.

Track 3 off NC Hwy 50 Topsail beach.
Dear Committee,
We are requesting to install a small access finger and a skiff lift for our small boat and Jet
Ski. We currently have a big boat lift at our existing dock but we have a small skiff and
jet ski that we would like to be able to keep at our dock as well. The access ramp for us is
rather far away. So with the limited time we have to spend on the water it would be very
helpful to have our boat there and ready to go. Thank you for your consideration in our
request.
Best Regards,
