Field Investigation Report
Page 2
Project Setting
The development site is located at 1705 Arapahoe Trail (off SR 1247), Arrowhead Beach
Subdivision, Edenton, Chowan County, adjacent to the Chowan River. The property is a 50
ft by 260 ft (13,000 sq. ft.) lot with an elevation of approximately 21 ft above normal water
level (NWL). The property currently has a single family residence, a 50 ft long shoreline
bulkhead, a 74'x 5' pier with a 16'x 16' platform, and a 12'x 12' boat lift. General permit
#51654A was issued on Feb. 18, 2008 to install the boatlift. The properties adjacent to the
development site also have single family residences, bulkhead, and existing piers and
boathouses. The water depth in the Chowan River where the development is proposed is
approximately 4 ft. The property is vegetated with typical lawn grasses as are the adjoining
properties. The waters of the Chowan River in the area are classified as B NSW by the
Division of Environmental Management and are closed to shellfish harvesting. There were
no observed submerged aquatic vegetation in the area of the development. There are no
known archaeological sites associated with this property.
Development Proposal
The applicant proposes to construct a roof over the existing boat lift to create a 14' x 28'
boathouse. The existing pier and platform extends 90 ft out into the Chowan River and
the proposed boathouse would be adjacent to these structures. The width of the Chowan
River at the site of the development is approximately 8,500 ft and the depth near the site is 4 ft.
Adjacent piers are of similar length and also have boathouses.
Anticipated Impacts
The construction of the boathouse will result in the shading of 392 additional sq. ft. of
Public Trust Area, Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern. The site currently
shades 256 sq. ft. with the existing platform. Temporary water turbidity will occur during
construction.
Submitted by: Kelly Russell
Date: April 22, 2009
PROJECT NARRATIVE
ROOF FOR EXISTING BOATLIFT
The size of this roof is less than 400 sq. ft. A major permit, rather than the
usual general one, is being sought because this waterfront home is
constructed on a 50 foot wide lot. This community is called the "Arrowhead
Beach and Boat Club", and there are a number of boat covering roofs along
the waterfront, many of which are on 50 ft. lots. We are on the Chowan
River, which is approximately 2 miles wide at this location. The closest
navigable channel is more than 1000 ft. offshore. The main shipping
channel is more than one mile offshore.
We have owned this property for 30 years. I am 71 and my wife is
handicapped, and a roof over our boatlift will greatly increase our use of our
pontoon boat, as it will keep it dry and much cleaner.
Construction method will be standard roof supported by posts driven
in river bottom. Posts and framing wood will be pressure treated and
fastened with stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized nails and bolts. Roof
deck will be 5/8 plywood covered by asphalt shingles.
