CAMA Major Permit Application - Project Narrative
Beaufort East Village Community Dock Improvements
2203 Front Street, Beaufort, Carteret County, North Carolina
Blue Treasure, LLC — owner/applicant
Revised April 18, 2017
Purpose:
With this application, Blue Treasure, LLC, requests improvements to the existing Beaufort East
Village community dock. Beaufort East Village is an approved planned unit development in the
Town of Beaufort located north of Lennoxville Road, between Lennoxville Road and Turner
Creek. A common area parcel (Carteret Parcel 730508989229000) located at 2203 Front Street
and with riparian rights to Taylor Creek provides water access for the subdivision. The parcel
currently contains an existing fixed pier, fixed finger pier and fixed dock. The addition of more
easily accessible floating docks is proposed in this application.
Existing Conditions:
The common area lot is approximately 0.5 acres in size and is maintained as a grassed lawn with
landscaped shrub beds. Fencing with a gate and wooden decking also exist. Existing water -
dependent structures include bulkheading, a fixed pier, a fixed finger pier, and a fixed dock with
three mooring pilings.
A narrow fringe of Spartina alterniflora is present waterward of the bulkhead and is
approximately 10 feet in width. Waters of Taylor Creek are designated as "SC waters" by the NC
Environmental Management Commission. Water depths within the riparian corridor of the
property average -0.5' normal low water (NLW) until approximately 120 feet from the bulkhead,
when water depths drop quickly to more than -12' NLW at the existing fixed dock.
The existing pier is approximately six feet in width and extends 185 feet from the bulkhead. An
"L" shaped fixed dock at the terminal end is eight feet wide by 36 feet long. Three mooring
pilings are located approximately 12 feet waterward of the "L" dock and are aligned at the
federal channel's structure setback. A single finger pier (fixed) also exists. A residential boat
ramp exists on the adjacent property to the west, and access to the ramp is through this
property's riparian corridor.
Proposed Improvements:
The addition of floating docks is requested to provide more convenient and usable water access.
Floating docks for two kayak launching slips are proposed along the existing fixed pier and
would be located approximately 120' from the bulkhead. Floating docks would consist of a 6' x
23' floating dock spine and three 4' x 12' floating finger piers. The kayak docks would be
accessed from the elevated fixed pier by a new ramp and an 84 sq.ft. fixed platform. The
proposed kayak docks would be sited in waters ranging between -1' MLW and -3' MLW, and no
dredging is needed.
The existing fixed "L" dock would be removed and would be replaced with an 8' x 36' floating
dock. A 14' x 14' gazebo would be added to the end of the existing access pier. Ten feet of the
existing access pier may also be removed to allow for ramp access to the new floating dock.
Beaufort Village East Community Dock, CAMA Major Permit Application
Project Narrative, Revised April 18, 2017

The three existing mooring pilings would be removed and the waterward edge of the floating
dock would be aligned along the former piling locations. Therefore, there would be no increase
in the extent of existing water -dependent structures into the waterbody. The new floating dock
would be accessed from the existing pier by a ramp with a 12 sq.ft. ramp platform. Water
depths along the terminal floating dock exceed -12' MLW in depth.
