8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to replace the floating dock at an existing
private docking facility along the edge of Banks Channel.
Mary and Reynolds Williams c/o Jimmy North
Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 12 N. Channel Drive, adjacent to Banks Channel in the Town of Wrightsville
Beach, New Hanover County. To locate the project site from the WiRO take US Hwy 74/76 to Wrightsville
Beach. Travel across the drawbridge and keep right on Causeway Drive. Turn left on N. Channel Drive,
just before the Causeway Bridge leading to the barrier island. Travel 260' and the property of interest is
located on the right side of the road.
The project site is approximately 0.09 acres in size, on which the applicant currently maintains a single-
family residence. The high ground is vegetated primarily with maintained lawn grass and ornamental
landscaping. The project site has approximately 55' of shoreline frontage along Banks Channel, which is
stabilized by a bulkhead, and Normal High Water (NHW) is approximately 40' waterward of the bulkhead.
Immediately waterward of the bulkhead is an area of high marsh consisting primarily of Saltmeadow
Cordgrass (Spartina patens) measuring approximately 20' in width. The shoreline transitions to low marsh
consisting primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alternij7ora) measuring approximately 30' in width.
At the property, the applicant also maintains a private docking facility, which consists of a fixed pier (6' x
156') that extends in an easterly direction into Banks Channel. At the terminus, there is a fixed "L -head"
covered platform (20' x 20'), which connects (via ramp) to a "U-shaped" floating dock. The section of
floating dock that the ramp lands on measures approximately 20' by 6' and is oriented perpendicular to the
shore. At the southern terminus of that section of floating dock is another section that runs parallel to the
shore and measures approximately 12' by 6'. At the southern terminus of that floating dock is another
section that measures approximately 20' by 6' and also runs perpendicular to the shore. On the northern
edge of the "U-shaped" float is an existing 13' by 14' boat lift. The properties to the north and south are
developed with single family homes and private docking facilities. According to the application package,
existing water depths surrounding the existing docking facility are approximately -5.0' at normal low water
(NLW). The applicant received an exemption to replace the deck boards on the existing fixed pier and
platform on 4/12/17. No other permit history was located for this facility, but from a review of aerial
photography it appears the facility was constructed prior to 1998.
The Town of Wrightsville Beach Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters and high ground portion of the
property as Conservation. The waters of Banks Channel are classified SB 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 CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The applicant proposes to replace the floating dock at an existing private docking facility along the edge of
Banks Channel. The configuration of the existing docking facility currently provides dockage for up to four
(4) vessels. The application states the existing pier, platform, and boat lift would remain in place with no
modifications or expansions; however, the "U-shaped" floating dock, consisting of two sections measuring
approximately 20' by 6' and the connecting section measuring approximately 12' by 6' would be replaced
in the existing footprint. The 20' by 6' sections would be oriented perpendicular to the shore and the
connecting section would be parallel and located closest to Banks Channel. The facility would continue to
provide dockage for up to four (4) vessels. The application states that existing water depths in the vicinity
of the proposed docking facility are -5.0' at NLW. In total, the existing facility extends approximately 125'
into a waterbody measuring approximately 825' in width. The proposed additions would not be any more
waterward than the existing facility. The southern section of the proposed float would encroach into the
adjacent 15' riparian corridor setback area to the south. The boat lift encroaches into the adjacent 15'
riparian corridor setback area to the north, but no changes are proposed to that lift.
Mary and Reynolds Williams c/o Jimmy North

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed structures would incorporate approximately 312 W of Estuarine Waters and Pubic Trust Area
that is currently usurped by the existing "U-shaped" floating dock. The proposed structures would extend
approximately 125' into a waterbody, which measures approximately 825' across. This distance conforms
to the quarter width of the waterbody and the established Wrightsville Beach pier -head alignment. The
proposed structures would encroach into the adjacent 15' Riparian Corridor Setback Area to the south, for
which a waiver has been obtained. The facility would accommodate up to four (4) vessels within water
depths of approximately -5.0' at NLW. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during construction.
