PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct 58 slips for a private marina as an amenity to the previously permitted condominium project. Major Modification -CAMA Major. Permit No. 75-07 Swan Quarter Landing, LLC C/O Don Faulkner Hyde County Project setting Sam Jarvis with Jarvis Consulting, Inc., on behalf of Swan Quarter Landing, LLC (C/O Don Faulkner), has requested the attached application be processed as a Major Modification to CAMA Express Major Permit No. 75-07 for a 58-slip marina associated with the development of Swan Quarter Landing. The project site is located adjacent SR 1136 (Landing Road) within the Town of Swan Quarter on a manmade canal system off Fodrey Creek which empties into Swan Quarter Bay in Hyde County, North Carolina. The proposed project site comprises 112.57 acres with 14,653' of shoreline, and is the site of the old Jarvis Motel and Restaurant. The developed portion of the site is bordered on three sides by the canal system forming a peninsula. The canal adjacent the north side of this peninsula is 140' wide and the canal adjacent the west end of the peninsula is ±30' wide. The section of canal adjacent the southern side of the peninsula that connects into the entrance canal is ±100' wide by ±450' long and can best be described as a basin. The Swan Quarter Landing condominium project was authorized via CAMA Permit No. 75-07 issued on 24 May 2007. The permit authorized the redevelopment of the old Jarvis Motel site with 45 condominium units in 5 three-story buildings, paved access and parking areas, bulkheading a portion of the canal area around the new condominiums, a short section of dock, installation of a boat ramp with two launch docks, and the construction of a boardwalk adjacent the new bulkhead. To date, the site has been cleared of all previous development in preparation for the installation of the permitted bulkhead and construction of the condominiums. The manmade canal leading into the site from Fodrey Creek is ±75' wide and flanked on both sides by old spoil berms. Steve Trowell, Field Representative with the Division of Coastal Management issued General Permit No. 47697-B on 28 February 2007 for maintenance excavation of the canal. The spoil berms have been cleared of vegetation in preparation for spoil deposition authorized by the General Permit. The spoil berm along the western side of the canal has been cleared of vegetation with the exception of several large pine trees. The larger spoil berm along the east side of the canal has also been cleared of vegetation and a ±36' wide by ±750' long area on the berm has been graded with raised side slopes in preparation of spoil deposition. The General Permit contained a dredging moratorium date of 1 April 2007, and the maintenance excavation was not undertaken, and the permit has expired. The western boundary of the property as well as the area along the eastern side of the entrance canal have been delineated as Coastal Wetlands by Steve Trowell. These Coastal Wetland areas are dominated by Juncus roemerianus, with some Spartina alterniflora, S. patens, and Distichlis spicata. The upland portion of the site around the old motel and restaurant was vegetated with upland grasses, with some pines, cedar, wax myrtle, bay, and other herbaceous shrubs. Major Modification - CAMA Major Permit No. 75-07 Swan Quarter Landing, LLC C/O Don Faulkner Hyde County Page Two The project site is bordered by Coastal Wetlands to the north, west, and south, and by commercial fish houses adjacent Swan Quarter canal to the east. The unnamed canal flows into Fodrey Creek which is classified as SA-ORW by the Environmental Management Commission. It is important to note that the Division of Water Quality has determined that the upper limit of the Outstanding Resource Water (ORW) designation ends at the upper limit of the natural potion of Fodrey Creek. Because of this, the project site is located outside the 575' ORW shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) but is within the 75' Coastal Shoreline AEC. The Division of Marine Fisheries has designated this area as a Primary Nursery Area. The site is 13.0' above the NWL. Water depth in the canal system averages 5.5' below the NWL. Project description The applicant proposes to construct a 58-slip marina in the manmade canal and basin system by installing slips adjacent to the previously permitted bulkhead and boardwalk. The marina design calls for 27 side-to mooring slips, and 31 traditional perpendicular slips with access via 17 finger piers: The finger piers are 3' wide at the landside and taper to zero at 15' offshore. A total of 78 tie pilings are proposed to define the area of the slips. The size of the proposed slips are as follows: 20 @ 12' wide by 30' long, 8 @ 15' by 25', 21 @ 15' by 30', 6 @ 15' by 40', and 3 @ 15' by 50'. Anticipated impacts The installation of the finger piers will result in the shading of (382.5 ft2 of canal bottom. The total area of existing manmade canal and basin encompassed by the marina will be 127,093.44 ft. The project as proposed will result in localized turbidity as a result of the construction activities. David W. Moye - 7 November 2007 SWAN QUARTER LANDING NARRATIVE This is a request to modify existing permit # 75-07 which permitted to construct bulk heading, docks, piers, a boat ramp, and upland development. The project proposed is located in Hyde County, North Carolina in Swan Quarter Township. At the end of Landing Road (S.R. 1136) on the site of the old Jarvis Restaurant, Motel and Crab house. The total tract acreage is 12.57 acres and contains 4,653 linear feet of shoreline, 109,056.86 square feet of wetlands, 30,1363.77 square feet of AEC. We propose to construct on this site: 58 Boat Slips, ranging in sizes of 20-12'x30', 8-15'x25', 21-15'x30', 6-15'x40', 3-15'x50' consisting of 17 Finger Piers and 78 Tie-up Pilings. Finger piers and boat slips are to be accessed from the previously permitted wooden walkway. With this proposed project we intend to create boat slips for the homeowners in Swan Quarter Landing. The project is in the Tar-Pamlico river basin and is in a manmade canal off Fodrey Creek Canal and Directly off of the Swan Quarter Bay. Adjacent properties uses are a Commercial Fishing Dock, Crab Houses, and Marinas. Finger Piers - --~oposed-finger-piers will be constructed-of-pressure-treated~umber~ -fastened to treated pilings driven into the earth at 2 ft. for every 1 ft above. Lumber will be fastened using hot dipped galvanized bolts and nails. All finger piers will be 15 ft. in length and 3 ft where connected to the bulkhead and attached to 1 piling at the water ward end. Piers to be covered with 2" x 6" deck boards. We propose to construct 17 finger piers. Tie-up Pilings Proposed tie-up pilings are 8"-10" treated pilings at lengths of 20'-25'. All pilings are to be driven small end down to a depth of 2 ft. to every 1 ft. above ground or to a blow count 14 blows per foot with standard weight drop. We propose to drive 78 tie-up pilings in total. oCM M! 1 APPLICATION for Ma1or De~elo~ment Permit (last nvissd 12/Z7/06) North Carolina DIVISION OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT 7.
