July 17, 1995
Mr. Roger Schecter
Director, Division of Coastal Management
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources
PO Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
Dear Mr. Schecter;
The intent of this letter is to voice our strong objection to
the proposed development of Dick's Creek RV Park. As riparian
property owners, our objection is to the 13 sites on 1. 3 acres of
land so close to our property line, the multiple septic systems,
the boat ramp, and the bulkhead along the beautiful water line.
We understand that only a portion of the proposed development
falls within your charter; however, we feel the cumulative
effects of the entire development will have an adverse impact on
our community, the coastal environment as a whole, and must be
considered.
We feel the proposed development will violate the Coastal
Resources Commission's standards for development in areas of
environmental concern:
-The proposed development will threaten the quality or
quantity of public and private water supplies.
In our opinion:
--the proposed development will add septic tank lechate,
spillage and stormwater runoff to our coastal water. Dick's
Creek and Shallow Bay have crossed the threshold at which they
can assimilate any additional pollution from septic tanks or
stormwater runoff.
--the proposed development will increase the number of
boats and overwhelm the carrying capacity of Dick's Creek and
Shallow Bay. Oil and gas pollution are two of the negative
results.
--the water quality standards for fecal coliform will be
violated.

-The proposed development will damage wildlife and
fisheries.
--Dick's Creek is a primary nursery area designated "SA"
for shellfish.
--Shallow Bay and Dick's Creek are currently closed to
shellfish harvest because of pollution.
--In our opinion, the proposed development will cause the
permanent demise of the creek and bay and they will never
recover. Moreover, all the wildlife that habitat in and around
these waters will vanish.
-The proposed development will damage or threaten the
public health, safety, and general welfare.
--At low tide, Shallow Bay is a mud flat with very little
water in a channel that has numerous piers. Large boats have a
problem coming in and out of Shallow Bay. In our opinion, the
proposed development will bring more boats hazardous to the
leisure boater; numerous speeding boats would be a hazard to all;
nighttime boating would become dangerous. In our opinion, the
proposed development:
--will bring more boats to stir up sediment which
contains fecal coliform bacteria.
--could bring an excess of parked trailers and tow
vehicles which could become a public nuisance.
--may bring transient people that threaten our safety.
--may bring additional boaters with little or no
knowledge of the hazards to navigation in these narrow shallow
waters.
-The proposed development will diminish the value and
enjoyment of our waterfront property. Besides our own waterfront
property, it is our opinion, that the proposed development will
diminish the value and enjoyment of all the property owners on
Peninsula Manor Road, Leslie Drive, Leslie court, and Oyster Lane
in Hubert, North Carolina. Since buying our home in 1990, we
have observed commercial fishermen launch and recover their boats
at existing piers at the proposed development site. These
commercial fishermen drive their boats quite fast seemingly
without regard to other docked boats and property. Discussions
about this problem with the proposed development property owner
were fruitless. Our concern is that this proposed development is
a commercial fishing project, not a private RV Park.
In our opinion:
--, an RV Park located next to our property will have a
significantly negative impact on our property value, that of the
other riparian property owner, on the property across the creek,
and on all the waterfront property in the immediate area.
-- this proposed development will bring more commercial
fishermen with the same disregard for the waterfront property of
others.

-- this proposed development will bring transient people
to our community.
-- this proposed development will increase the noise
pollution in a very quiet, beautiful waterfront community.
-- this development will increase the vehicular traffic on
Peninsula Manor Road and overflow on to Leslie Drive.
--Our community is mainly older, retired people. This
proposed development will be devastating to many of them.
--We have observed that marsh grass has already been
excavated and our concern is that marsh grass areas will be
filled when constructing the bulkhead and boat ramp.
--Fill material is already poised to be pushed over
another existing wetlands area on this property.
We have tried to provide you with our major concerns with
this proposed development and pray that you do not grant a
permit.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, \
Boyce Floyd h
