9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant's property is located at 24 Laurinburg Street, adjacent to a man-made canal contiguous
with the AIWW in the Town of Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick County. Directions from Highway 17 south
of Shallotte: Turn Left onto Ocean Isle Beach Rd. SW and travel for approximately 3.6 miles. Stay
straight and continue over the high rise bridge to Causeway Dr./NC904. Turn left onto E. 2nd St. and
travel approximately 0.14 miles. Take the 11t left onto Laurinburg St. and travel approximately 0.1
miles. The property will be located on the right hand side of the street.
The project site is a canal front lot with approximately 50' of shoreline frontage. The elevation of the
high ground area of the lot averages approximately 4' above normal high water (NHW). The lot is
currently undeveloped with high ground vegetation that consists primarily of lawn grass and woody
shrubs. The shoreline of the property has not been stabilized and it is evident that the high ground of
the lot adjacent to the canal has subsided over time, allowing the coastal wetlands to incorporate
much of the property's shoreline. The coastal wetlands that are present consist primarily of Smooth
Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), however Black Needlerush (Juncus roemorianus) and Salt Meadow
Hay (Spartina patens) are also present in the high marsh transitional areas. The Coastal Wetlands are,
on average approximately 25' in width as measured from the adjacent bulkheads on either side of the
property. The existing escarpment measures approximately 4'-13' landward of the adjacent bulkheads
to the north and south. The normal high water line follows the approximate escarpment between the
high ground and coastal wetlands on the property. Both of the adjacent properties to the north and
south are developed with single-family residences and docking facilities. No known archaeological
sites are within the project vicinity.
The Town of Ocean Isle Beach Land Use Plan classifies the adjacent waters as Conservation, and the
adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Residential. The waters of the AIWW are classified
SA by the Division of Water Resources and are NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the
N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries. They are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
10. PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to install approximately 50 linear feet of new vinyl bulkhead with
approximately 400 square feet of Coastal Wetlands fill.
As proposed, the new vinyl bulkhead would be aligned to tie into the adjacent bulkheads to the north
and south of the property. The proposed bulkhead alignment would range approximately 4'-13'
waterward of the existing escarpment (See Sheet 1 of 4).
S & R Properties 1, LLC

11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed new bulkhead construction with associated backfill and tie back/anchor system would
result in the filling of approximately 400 square feet of Coastal Wetlands, Estuarine Waters, and Public
Trust Areas of Environmental Concern. The Coastal Wetlands that are proposed to be filled consists of
primarily Smooth Cord Grass (Spartina alterniflora), with some Black Needlerush (Juncus roemarianus)
and Salt Meadow Hay (Spartina patens) also within the area of proposed fill. The proposed bulkhead
construction would result in the disturbance of approximately 1,000 square feet of high ground. Minor
turbidity increase can be expected during the construction process.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
The project property is located on the east side of Laurenburg St. adjacent (north side) to Mr. Norman
Bland's property and adjacent (south side) to Mr. Charles Horne on Ocean Isle Beach. The site can be
reached by traveling highway 179 across the causeway, turning left onto 2"d St. then left on Laurinburg
St. Property is adjacent to 22 and 26 Laurinburg St. The site is undeveloped at this time.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of the following elements:
• Filling lot- approximately 400 sq. ft. of Coastal Wetlands. See attached pictures of erosion.
Setbacks are pulled from normal high water mark. Shoreline stabilization will prevent further
erosion into canal and the undermining the adjacent property owner's bulkheads.
• Building a bulkhead and future home site.
