Proiect Setting
The project site is located at 148 New River Drive in Albemarle Plantation Subdivision, a
residential golf community in Perquimans County. The property is situated along 185' of
Yeopim Creek, a tributary of the Yeopim River and the Albemarle Sound. Existing
development along Yeopim Creek is residential and agricultural, with one private subdivision
marina within a mile of the property. Zoning of property within the subdivision is RA -25
(residential /Agricultural with a minimum lot requirement of 25,000sf. Immediately north and
south of the applicant's property are dwellings, each with recreational docking facilities for
multiple vessels. Existing on the applicant's property is a dwelling, a bulkhead, a 6' x 82' pier
with a 12' x 18' platform and a 4'x 16' stepdown, two tie pilings for a formal mooring facility,
and a personal water craft lift (a second formal mooring facility) being used to hold a small
sailboat. Current shading from the existing platform and step down is 280sf, shading from the
pier is 492sf.
Yeopim Creek is approximately 780' wide at the applicant's property, is classified as SC waters
and is closed to shellfish harvesting. There are no know archeological sites on or adjacent to
the applicant's property and there are no unusual geologic formations associated with the
property. There is no submerged aquatic vegetation within the project footprint, or adjacent to
the proposed project site. Vegetation on the applicants property is a mix of ornamentals and
domestic grasses along the high ground adjacent to the dwelling and typical vegetation found
within a non - coastal wetland in the area (loblloy pine, bald cypress, wax myrtle, cattail, and
pennywort).
Development Proposal
Proposed development includes the construction of a second small pier on the north side of the
property along an existing bulkhead with a dual personal water craft lift. The pier will be
elevated above the water approximately 16" and will be a 6' x 20' with a 3' x 10' cut out to
accommodate the lift as shown on the enclosed cross section drawing (Page 2 of 3). The
proposed pier and lift system will be approximately 74' to the nearest pier to the north. The pier
will be in shallow water to allow easy access on and off of the personal water craft.
Area enclosed by the dual lift = 50sf
Pier = 90sf
If permitted, there will be a total of four formal recreational mooring facilities associated with the
applicant's property.
Anticipated Impacts
1) Temporary turbidity within the waters adjacent to the projects site during
construction.
2) Approximately 90sf of open water will be shaded by the proposed pier.
3) Approximately 50sf of shading by the PWC lift.

5) Increased wave action along
Submitted by: Lynn W. Mathis
Date: August 18, 2015
Yeopim Creek adjacent to applicant's property will be
adjacent unprotected shorelines.

We wish to build a docking area for two PWC for use along our property
on Yeopim Creek. Our shoreline length is 188 feet and the docking area is
at a distance greater than 15 feet of the riparian water demarcation lines.
This is for personal use by ourselves and our family members.
