Re: Grace Bay CAMA Major Development Permit Application
Mr. Govoni:
This letter is in reference to the revisions to the Grace Bay CAMA Major Permit
application as a result of the multi-agency meeting on May 21, 2008. The revisions to the
application, site plan and additional information requested at the meeting have been
provided with this letter. The items provided are as follows:
1) Revised Site Plan
• The site plan has been revised to show the new house footprint on Lot 5,
which has further minimized proposed wetland impacts.
• The Site Information Table has been revised to show the correct acreage
of wetland impacts proposed (0.027 acres).
• The location of the 20' Access Corridor is shown. The Access Corridor
will allow for the future construction of a potential community pier/dock
to allow for private riparian access as discussed in the meeting.
2) Revised Application
• MP-1 - Page 3 has been revised to identify the correct length of retaining
wall proposed
• MP-2 - Page 2 has been revised to identify the correct acreage of wetland
impacts proposed
• MP-3 - Page 1 has been revised to identify the correct length of retaining
wall proposed.
3) Restrictive Covenant Language
• The proposed Restrictive Covenant Language has been provided. The
Restrictive Covenant Language was taken directly from the Corps of
Engineers' Attachment B - Restrictive Covenant Guidance of the
Wilmington District Process for Preservation ofMitigation Proper .
• The Restrictive Covenant language will be incorporated into the HOA
documents and will protect all preserved wetlands remaining in the post-
development condition. The Restrictive Covenants will remove the
riparian rights from Lots 4, 5 and 6, preventing the construction of
individual piers/docks. The future construction of a community pier/dock
has been allowed for by the incorporation of the 20' Access Corridor.
Please note that the Restrictive Covenants will not include the area
designated as the 20' Access Corridor, as the Restrictive Covenant

language does not allow for pier construction. The areas proposed for
preservation under the Restrictive Covenant are identified in the enclosed
Conservation Area Exhibit. In order to provide protection over the
wetlands until the HOA documents have been drafted, the Restrictive
Covenants and Conservation Area Exhibit will be recorded with the
Carteret County Register of Deeds prior to initiation of the proposed
wetland impacts.
4) Avoidance and Minimization
• The document addressing the project's Avoidance and Minimization of
wetland impacts, as provided at the May 21, 2008 meeting, has also been
provided with this submittal.
Based on the multi-agency meeting on May 21, 2008, the information provided with this
letter will resolve all comments received during the Public Noticing period. Therefore, it
is my understanding that the enclosed information will complete the application process,
and facilitate issuance of the CAMA Major Permit for the Grace Bay project.

Grace Bay CAMA Major Permit Application
Avoidance and Minimization Efforts
March 7, 2007 - Multi-Agency Meeting - Morehead City - The original site plan for
the project proposed a 14 lot subdivision with 0.50 acres (21,780 sq feet) of wetland
impacts for proposed Lots 4, 5 and 6. This site plan was reviewed at the multi-agency
meeting on March 7, 2007. Based on the comments regarding the avoidance and
minimization of wetland impacts, the site plan was revised to reduce wetland impacts.
April 11, 2007 - Pre-Application Meeting - DENR Wilmington Office- The revised site
plan reduced the proposed wetland impacts to 0.101 acres (4,403.17 sq feet). The
proposed wetland impacts were necessary for construction of Lots 5 and 6. The revision
to the site plan resulted in a minimization of 0.399 acres (17,380.44 sq ft) of wetland
impacts from the previous plan. The minimization of wetland impacts was accomplished
by:
? The removal of Lot 7, reducing the total proposed lots to 13. The area previously
planned for Lot 7 was dedicated as open/common area.
The revised site plan was reviewed in the second pre-application meeting with Dave
Timpy (COE) and Joanne Steenhuis (DWQ).
September 2007 - Original Application Submittal- The initial submittal of the CAMA
Major Permit application was submitted in September 2007. The site design proposed
0.048 acres (2,091 sq feet) of wetland impacts for construction of Lot 5. The revised site
plan minimized the proposed wetland impacts by 0.053 acres (2,308 sq feet) from the
previous plan. The minimization of wetland impacts was accomplished by:
? Lot 6 was removed from the site plan, reducing the total proposed lots to 12. The
area previously planned for Lot 6 was incorporated into the open/common area.
? Innovative septic systems were incorporated into Lots 4 and 5. The proposed
septic systems for Lots 4 and 5 are "Type APeat" systems, which are more
efficient than standard septic systems, and therefore require a smaller septic field
and repair area. The reduction of the size of the septic field allowed the houses
to be moved further towards the front of the lots, eliminating wetland impacts on
Lot 4 and minimizing wetland impacts for Lot 5 to only 0.035 acres.
January 2008 - Revised Application Submittal - DCM's verification of the Coastal
Wetland Line and NHW line resulted in significant changes to these lines. As a result of
the changes to the Coastal Wetland Line and NHW line, as well as previous agency
comments, the site plan and application were revised and re-submitted in January 2008.
The revised site plan proposed 0.035 acres (1521 sq ft) of wetland impacts for
construction of Lot 5. The revised site plan minimized the proposed wetland impacts by
0.013 acres (570 sq feet) from the previous plan. The minimization of wetland impacts
was accomplished by:
? The design of the building footprint was revised and the location of the bulkhead
was moved landward to reduce wetland impacts.

May 2008 - Multi-Agency Meeting - The revised site plan proposes 0.027 acres
(1172.79 sq ft) of wetland impacts. The revised site plan minimizes the proposed
wetland impacts by 0.008 acres (348.29 sq feet) from the previous plan. The
minimization of wetland impacts was accomplished by:
? Revision of the building envelope of the house. The revision to the building
envelope allowed more of the actual house footprint to be moved out of the
wetlands. This also allowed the bulkhead to be moved farther landward,
reducing the necessary wetland impacts.

The final site plan represents the greatest extent of avoidance and minimization of wetland
impacts possible. The multiple revisions to the site plan have resulted in the avoidance and
minimization of 0.473 acres (20,606 sq ft) of wetland impacts, as well as the loss of two lots.
The final site plan has been designed to meet the minimum requirements of all permitting
agencies (NC Division of Stormwater Quality, NC Department of Environmental Health,
Carteret County Environmental Health, Carteret County Planning Department, NC DOT,
West Carteret Water Corporation, Carteret County Fire Marshall, etc). The proposed wetland.
impacts are necessary in order to construct Lot 5. Lot 5 essentially represents the profit
margin for the entire project. Without Lot 5, the project is not financially feasible. There are
not practical alternatives to avoid and minimize wetland impacts.

Re: Grace Bay Subdivision - CAMA Major Permit Application
DWQ Request for More Information
DWQ Project # 08 0368
Dear Ms. Steenhuis,
This letter is in response to you Request for More Information letter, dated March 26,
2008, in reference to the Grace Bay CAMA Major Development Permit Application.
The responses to the items listed in your letter have been provided below.
1) During the previous meeting concerning this project, a boat basin was also
included in the proposed subdivision. The application submitted does not show the
boat basin, yet it does show a pedestrian easement between lots 2 and 3 ending
where the boat basin property is located. Please explain the purpose of the
easement since there is no proposed basin.
The applicant, NORTHSTAR Development Group, Inc. is exploring the option of
constructing a boat basin on the adjacent property as proposed in the April 23, 2007
multi-agency meeting. At the time of submittal of the CAMA Major Development
Permit application for the Grace Bay project, NORTHSTAR did not, and still does not,
own the property slated for the upland boat basin and it is uncertain if the boat basin will
come to fruition. Therefore, the boat basin was not included in the current CAMA Major
application. However, in order to accommodate the potential future boat basin, a
pedestrian easement was planned to allow for private pedestrian access to the boat basin
within the subdivision. In the event that the potential boat basin is abandoned, the
pedestrian easement will remain, but most likely will never be utilized. The site plan
submitted and approved by Carteret County was specifically for the 12 lot subdivision
and did not include a boat basin, see attached approved plan. In the event that the boat
basin becomes a feasible project, a permit modification for the CAMA Major Permit for
the Grace Bay subdivision will submitted to the Division of Coastal Management.

2) In addition, there was also a proposed pier from the common area (shown as the
empty lot located between lot 5 and the cul-de-sac). Will this structure not be
included as a part of the subdivision?
The proposed pier discussed at the April 23, 2008 multi-agency meeting is not proposed
as part of the current application. Due to the uncertainty of potential boat basin, the
applicant would like to reserve the option of a community dock to provide private
riparian access. The community dock would extend from the common area, south of Lot
5. However, the actual alignment of the dock to reach Bogue Sound is uncertain, as
access easements would have to be obtained from adjacent property owners in order to
provide deep water access. Therefore, a 20' Access Corridor has been incorporated into
the site plan to allow for a potential pier to be constructed in the future. The applicant
proposes to incorporate a Restrictive Covenant in the Home Owners Association
documents which will preserve the onsite wetlands and remove the riparian rights for
Lots 4, 5 and 6, preventing the construction of individual piers/docks. The Restrictive
Covenants will not include the area identified as the 20' Access Corridor, as this
language does not allow for construction of a pier. Copies of the Restrictive Covenants
and Conservation Area Exhibit have been provided as an Appendix to this letter.
3) Please explain why the fill is necessary in lot 5, when the lot can be increased in
size by including the common area for the septic system (since there is no proposed
use for the common area) and moving the house footprint out of the wetland.
The incorporation of the uplands within the common area into Lot 5 is not feasible for
several reasons. The common area south of Lot 5 is being utilized to meet Carteret
County's Open Space requirement. By incorporating the upland area of the common area
into Lot 5 would result in paying an In-Lieu fee for open space requirements.
The NC Division of Environmental Health requires that the septic system be located a
minimum of 100' from the Mean High Water (MHW) line. In this case, the Normal High
Water (NHW) line is being used as the MHW line. The uplands within the common area
fall within the 100' setback from the NHW line. Therefore, the uplands within the
common area can not be utilized for the septic system for Lot 5.
4) At a minimum, DWQ requires that deed notifications (or restrictive covenants if
required by the US Army Corps of Engineers) be recorded for all lots with
jurisdictional waters. A sample deed notification can be found on the DWQ 401
Water Quality Certification website and the USACE language can be found on their
website. Please provide a draft copy that includes the proposed preservation
language that will be recorded to accomplish this.
The proposed Restrictive Covenant Language has been provided. The Restrictive
Covenant Language was taken directly from the Corps of Engineers' Attachment B -
Restrictive Covenant Guidance of the Wilmington District Process for Preservation of
1410 Commonwealth Drive, Suite ioi Wilmington, North Carolina 28403 tel: 910-256-9277 fax: 910-256.2584

Mitigation Property. The Restrictive Covenant language will be incorporated into the
HOA documents and will protect all preserved wetlands remaining in the post-
development condition. Please note that the Restrictive Covenants will not include the
area designated as the 20' Access Corridor. The 20' Access Corridor will allow for the
potential future construction of a pier to provide riparian access in the event that the
upland boat basin never comes to fruition. The areas proposed for preservation under the
Restrictive Covenant are identified in the enclosed Conservation Area Exhibit. In order
