See above for a draft drawing and below for a description of the A&M measures the applicant proposes for Currituck Trading Post.
The previous SAV survey had dimension errors on it. The project prosed a 75ft long access with a 31 x31 platform, for a total of 106ft
offshore. The draft revisions proposes the same 75ft pier with a 25x25 platform for a total of 100ft offshore. Deck board spacing is also
proposed.
Please let me know asap with any discussion.
Thansk,
Gregg

Good morning! As discussed I have spoken with the applicant in regards to activities planned for the pier. The first response I was given
was, water sport activities such as: kayaking, paddle boarding and kite surfing would be expected to be performed from the pier. The
second and most popular activity performed from the pier would be recreational fishing. The Currituck sound is a fishermans paradise
and having the platform in water depths in which fish navigate more frequently will not only facilitate, but encourage customers to fish
on the property. Near the bulkhead water depths can range from 0'-0.5' and frequently do with northerly winds. The water depth
increases slightly to 1-2' throughout the length of the pier, that is until we reach where the proposed platform begins, which typically
ranges from 2.5-3.5'. Not only will the depth encourage more people to fish, but the vegetation present at those depths will also, since
the fish often utilize it. The applicant's vision is to have the platform large enough to accommodate a large gathering of people for
fishing, but also photography of the Currituck sound. The pier will allow customers to view the beautiful sunsets we experience on the
currituck sound, the sun sets on "this" side of the sound and is an optimal place to view it. Wildlife is part of the heritage of Currituck
county and viewing wildlife is a popular and fulfilling experience. The Currituck Trading Post especially in the summer is extremely high

volume, having a platform large enough to accommodate this type of volume with the activities mentioned is of the utmost importance
to the owner. Since SAV is present we would like to propose decreasing the platform size of 31.5' x 31.5' to 25'x25'. This will in turn
decrease the overall size from 992 sq ft. to 625 sq ft, which is a total decrease of 367 sq ft. In addition would raise the pier from 4' to 4.5'
to allow more sunlight, also increase deck spacing from the standard 1/8" to 1/2" to also allow more sunlight to penetrate the
vegetation.

Afternoon all,
Please see above for the SAV survey recently done. Any comments on A&M would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible.
The applicant has agreed to raising up the structure to 4ft above NWL at this time.
