facility and construct a new private pier, with gazebo, floating dock, and boatlift. As proposed the new
docking facility would provide mooring for four (4) vessels.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project is located at 308 Bradley Drive in Wilmington, adjacent
to Bradley Creek, in New Hanover County. To locate the project site from NC Highway 17, head east on
Eastwood Road. Turn right on Oleander Drive (NC Highway 76) and proceed south across the Bradley
Creek Bridge, immediately turn left on to Bradley Drive. Follow Bradley Drive approximately % miles,
the road will turn to the left and the project site will be located on the left. The 0.65 acre tract is
approximately 100 feet wide and approximately 275 feet deep. A single family residence, bulkhead and
private pier are currently located on the project site. The property has an average elevation of 12 feet
above mean sea level and is vegetated with lawn grasses. The 102 feet of shoreline frontage is
stabilized by an existing bulkhead. The adjacent properties to the north and south have both been
stabilized with bulkhead and have private piers. The submitted drawing shows the marsh extending
approximately 38 feet waterward of the existing bulkhead. A site visit was conducted to verify the extent
of Coastal Wetlands and the marsh actually extends approximately 50 feet waterward of the existing
bulkhead. Waterward of the existing bulkhead is a high marsh buffer of Salt Meadow Hay (Spartina
patens), Black Needle Rush (Juncus romerianus), Sea Ox-eye (Borrichia frutescens), and Wax Myrtle
(Myrica cerifera) approximately 10 feet wide terminating at Normal High Water (NHW). Extending
approximately 40 feet beyond NHW and the high marsh fringe is an area of low marsh consisting
primarily of Smooth Cord Grass (Spartina altemaflora). The tidal areas waterward of the low marsh are
shallow and oyster shell is present for a distance of approximately 50 feet beyond the low marsh.
Existing on the project site is a 226 feet pier structure with a boatlift that provides mooring for three (3)
vessels.
A CAMA General Permit was issued in June of 1989 and authorized the construction of the existing pier
and bulkhead.
The New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the adjacent waters and high ground portion of the
project site as Conservation. The waters of Bradley Creek are classified as SB, by the NC Division of
Water Quality. The waterbody is approximately 635 feet in width in the vicinity of the proposed project.
These waters are NOT designated as PNA by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries and are closed to
the harvest of shellfish.
10. PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing pier and floating dock facility
and construct a new private pier, with gazebo, floating dock, and boatlift. As proposed the new docking
facility would provide mooring for four (4) vessels. The applicant proposes to construct a pier system into
Bradley Creek, the fixed pier would consist of a 6 feet wide by 155 feet long elevated walkway which would
terminate in an 18 feet wide by 18 feet long gazebo. Extending from the platform via an access ramp, the
applicant is proposing a 6 feet wide by 40 feet long main floating dock, in alignment with the proposed fixed
pier. Located on the east side of the proposed floating dock would be two finger piers, one located
perpendicular to and at the waterward end of the proposed floating dock. The finger pier would measure 5
feet wide by 24 feet long and would create an "L-head" at the waterward end of the proposed floating dock.
The second finger pier would be located perpendicular to the main floating dock and would measure 4 feet
wide by 16 feet long. Located between the two proposed finger piers would be a 13 feet long by 13 feet
wide boat lift. The proposed structures would provide docking space for up to (4) vessels. Water depth in
the area of proposed docking facility would be approximately -8.5 feet at Mean Low Water (MLW).

11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed pier and docking system would incorporate approximately 2135 sq. ft. of Estuarine
Waters and Pubic Trust Area. As proposed, the pier structure would result in the shading of
approximately 300 square feet of Coastal Wetlands. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected
during construction. The proposed pier, gazebo, "L- Head" floating dock and finger piers would extend
approximately 225 feet into a waterbody which measures approximately 635 feet across. This distance
would conform with the established pier head line of the adjacent piers to the north and south. As
proposed, the docking facility would not conform to the Y4width or 1/3 width rule.

Holley,
Please accept this Major Permit application for review.
Job: Rob Boswell
Address: 308 Bradley Dr. Wilmington, NC 28409
The applicant proposes to install a new pier that is 6'x173' that conjoins to a 12'x18'
gazebo. The gazebo will connect a 6'x40' floating dock by a 3'x16' aluminum ramp.
From the main floating dock there will be two floating finger docks one will measure
4'x16' and the other will measure 5'x24'. There will also be one 13,000 pound boat lift
that will sit in-between the two floating fingers. The dock will allow the applicant to
have boating access from his property. This project is water ward of the AEC so it will
have no adverse impact on the AEC. Currently it is a non-conforming structure and the
new structure will have less of an impact.
Thank you for your consideration.
