Robb,

Can you meet with Jim Long and myself briefly in early April? Our position on the Bailey project on Summer
Rest Road has not changed. Please see my revised comments below and consider this my formal submission.
THX!

Robb,

Thank you for making time to sit down with Jim Long and myself today. Please accept this email as my formal
comments on this project. I have commented on this project several times in the past as well.....

This is not your ordinary objection to a proposed application. This application to build 17 boat slips and 2
gazebo’s in this tight/ highly traveled area is absolutely absurd.
The project is right on top of an active sewer line

o
The riparian rights lines aren’t even drawn correctly

o
Those who use the public boat ramp are constantly circling near this project while

o
they wait to take their boat out of water.
The first Gazebo blocks access to many who constantly bait fish on that creek

o
The traffic (boat and car) in that area is already too heavy…

o
The project restricts our egress/regress to our slips at low tide when you consider

o
the oyster bed.

This project is clearly too big for this site and will not be received well by Wrightsville Beach, the DOT and the
people that have used these waters recreationally for years. ***Please see that whomever is in charge of making
a final decision on this case personally visit this site. They will see immediately what we are all concerned
about. There are no positives embedded in this project at all…. It needs to be cut in half at a minimum.

Thank you for looking out for us all.

John Blackwell, direct neighbor to the north..
