JAM Properties, LLC c/o Dan Smith

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 8128 Bald Eagle Lane, adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW)
and Middle Sound, in New Hanover County. To locate the property from Market Street (NC Highway17),
turn right onto Porter's Neck Road and continue east through the traffic circle approximately 2 miles. At
the stop sign, turn right onto Bald Eagle Lane and travel south approximately 0.2 miles and the property of
interest will be located on the left.
The property is approximately o.7i acres and is approximately 15' above normal high water (NHW). The
property is currently developed with a single family home. The approximately loo' of shoreline is stabilized
by an existing timber bulkhead. Waterward of the bulkhead on the northernmost end of the property is an
area of Coastal Wetlands measuring approximately 13' in width and approximately 25' in length consisting
primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). The property is bordered by residential properties
to the north, south and west. Waterward of the existing bulkhead is an existing access pier, measuring
approximately 120' in length by 6' in width, which extends towards the AIWW in an easterly direction. The
pier terminates into a gazebo, measuring approximately 16' in length by 16' in width. An access ramp leads
from the access pier onto a floating dock, measuring approximately 20' in length by 8' in width, which runs
in the same alignment as the access pier. There is a 13' by 13' boat lift in the slip on the northern edge of the
floating dock and two tie pilings associated with the slip on the southern edge of the floating dock. The
application states that the existing docking facility currently accommodates up to two (2) vessels in water
depths of approximately -2.0' to -4.0' at NLW (See Sheets 1 of 3).
The City of Wilmington/New Hanover County 2006 Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters as
Conservation, and the adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Resource Protection. The waters
of the AIWW and Middle Sound are classified SA-ORW by the Division of Water Resources. The area is
NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they are
OPEN to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to reconfigure and expand an existing private docking facility within Middle Sound.
The application states that a finger pier measuring approximately 41' in length by 5' in width will be added
to the end of the existing pier running parallel to the channel in a T -head configuration. The existing 16by
16' gazebo would be moved to the northern edge of the existing pier, and landward of the T -head addition.
The existing access ramp and floating dock would be relocated to the most northern end of the proposed
finger pier and another access ramp would lead onto a proposed floating dock on the most southern end
of the finger pier, measuring approximately 20' in length by 8' in width, creating a "U-shaped" docking
configuration. The two proposed 13' by 13' boat lifts would be installed in the middle two slips (See Sheet 2
Of 3). The application states that the proposed reconfiguration of the existing facility would accommodate
up to four (4) vessels in water depths measuring approximately -4.0' at NLW. The facility would extend
approximately 142' into a water body measuring 571', which would meet the quarter width requirement and
the US Army Corps setback (see Sheet 2 of 3).
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed new configuration would incorporate an additional approximately 365 sq. ft. of Estuarine
Water and Public Trust Areas. The proposed new configuration would not encroach into the adjacent 15-
foot Riparian Corridor Setback Area requirement. The proposed structures would extend approximately
142' into a waterbody measuring approximately 57' in width, which would conform with the 1/4 width
distance rule and would not encroach into the 80' federal setback requirement from the AIWW channel.
The proposed structures would allow the facility to accommodate up to four (4) vessels in water depths of
approximately -4.0' at normal low water (NLW). Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during
construction.

Dear Committee,
We are now the new owners of this property at porter's neck and understand that the current dock was
constructed in 1995. The current dock is in need of replacement at this point and we feel that the layout
of the current dock with its covered deck just needs to be replaced as it is now, however the floating
structure along with the boat lift is what we would like to expand to fit our daily use of the dock. We
would like to add a floating dock that will give us four slips over the current two and also add another
boatlift as well. This will give us two boatlifts and a day dock for our rather large family to enjoy. Thank
you for your help and consideration in this project, we hope you will have no objections with our
request.
