9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 6 Sounds Point on Figure Eight Island, adjacent to Banks Channel and Middle Sound, in New
Hanover County. The island is accessed from the mainland at the end of Edgewater Club Road (SR 1402), by private bridge
over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) and an earthen causeway, which traverses Middle Sound. Heading east
on the causeway, turn right on Beach Road South and travel approximately 1.74 miles until you reach Little Neck Road
and turn right. Travel approximately 0.1 miles and turn left onto Pipers Neck. Travel 0.1 miles and turn left onto Sounds
Point the property of interest is located at the terminus of Sounds Point.
The property is adjacent to residential properties with private docking facilities on the southeast and northwest sides. The
property is bordered on the northeast side by Sounds Point and Banks Channel to the southwest. The project site is
approximately 0.42 acres in size and has an average elevation of approximately 5.0' above Normal High Water (NHW).
There is currently a single-family home on the lot, and upland vegetation consists of a maintained lawn grass and
landscaping. There are no Coastal Wetlands, SAV, or shell on site. The project site has approximately 150' of shoreline
frontage along Banks Channel, which is currently stabilized by a timber bulkhead with an associated 6' boardwalk.
Waterward of the existing bulkhead there is sandy bottom and NHW meets the bulkhead. There is an existing private
docking facility extending in a southwesterly direction into Banks Channel. There is a fixed pier measuring approximately
4' in length by 6' in width terminating in a fixed "T -head" platform measuring approximately 12' in length by 16' in width.
From the waterward end of the platform an 8' by 50' float is accessed via a ramp landing in the middle of the float. The
float runs parallel to the shoreline. On the landward edge of the float, there is one float on boat lift on the southeast side
and a 4 -pole boat lift on the northeast side. The boat lifts were authorized via CAMA General Permit No. 50235D issued
to a previous owner (McGeorge) on 5/2/08. The bulkhead was authorized via CAMA General Permit No. 43383 issued to
a previous owner (McGeorge) on 11/21/2005. No other permit history was located for this property. According to the
application, current water depths range from -6.0' to -8.0' at NLW. From review of aerial photography it appears the
facility was constructed prior to 1998.
The Wilmington -New Hanover County 2006 Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters and high ground portion of the
property as Conservation. The waters of Banks Channel and Middle Sound are classified SA-ORW by the Division of Water
Resources. They are 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 replace and reconfigure an existing private docking facility. The applicant proposes to
maintain the current 6' boardwalk along the bulkhead in the same footprint. A new 8' by 24' float would extend in a
southwesterly direction from the bulkhead, approximately 38' from the neighbor to the southeast. Approximately 26'
northwest of that float, a fixed pier measuring approximately 6' by 36' would extend in a southwesterly direction from
the bulkhead. There would be a 13' by 13' boat lift on each side of the fixed pier. Approximately 13' northwest of the
fixed pier would be an additional fixed pier measuring 6' by 20' and terminating in a 16' by 16' "L -head" fixed platform.
The docking configuration would provide docking space for up to four (4) vessels at this location within water depths
ranging from approximately -6.0' to -8.0' at NLW. The docking facility would extend approximately 36' into a waterbody
which measures approximately 430' across, which meets the % width limitation and would not be any further waterward
than the existing facility, which meets the established pierhead line.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The structures would incorporate approximately 784 ft' of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. The proposed
structures would extend approximately 36' into a waterbody which measures approximately 430' across, which would
meet the % width limitation and would not extend any further waterward than the existing facility, which meets the
established pierhead line. The proposed structures would allow the existing docking facility to accommodate up to four
(4) vessels in water depths ranging from approximately -6.0' to -8.0' at NLW. Based on the application, the proposed
structures would not encroach into either adjacent 15' riparian corridor setback area. Minor increases in turbidity should
be expected during construction.

The enclosed CAMA major permit application for Dan Kugler, 6 Sounds Point, Wilmington, NC 28411, is
to build a 6x20 pier with a 16x16 deck. There will also be a 6x36 finger pier with a boat lift on each side
and an 8x24 floating dock. This will be a private docking facility for family use only.
