PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing a new private docking facility (10 slips). 1614 Island Marina Drive, Carol and John Rider Page Two 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is located at 1614 Island Marina Drive, adjacent to the Snow's Cut segment of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) and the Carolina Beach Yacht Basin, in the town of Carolina Beach, in New Hanover County. To locate the project site from the Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO), travel from Wilmington towards Carolina Beach in a southerly direction on College Road (NC Hwy 421) for approximately 14 miles until you cross the Snow's Cut bridge and reach the stop light at Lewis Road and NC Hwy 421. Turn left onto Lewis Road and follow the road as it curves around to the left, and becomes Access Road, then proceed straight until you reach a stop sign, located at the intersection of Spencer Farlow Drive and Lewis Drive. Turn right onto Spencer Farlow Drive, and continue down the road to Island Marina Drive, immediately in front of the Waterfronte Villas community. Turn left onto Island Marina Drive, and proceed down approximately 350' northward to reach the parcel for the project site at 1614 Island Marina Drive. The project site is bounded by the Waterfronte Villas community immediately to the south, the Annie Drive NC WRC boat ramp immediately to the north, and the Carolina Beach Yacht Basin to the east. The parcel is approximately 0.74 acres, forming the shape of a triangle. The top line of the parcel, running from just south of the access road associated with the Wildlife boat ramp, runs approximately 420 feet to the northeast. The parcel then turns southeast and runs 140 feet down the short side of the triangle. From that point, the bottom of the parcel line runs west southwest 270 feet back to the originating point. On the property, there is approximately 328' of shoreline. Elevation at the site averages approximately 5'-8' above normal high water (NHW) on the high ground (western portion) and 0'-2' above normal high water (NHW) on the wetland portion (eastern portion). There is no development existing on the property except for a wooden bulkhead along the landward side of the coastal wetlands line. The bulkhead crosses the property in a southeasterly direction from near the northern edge of the parcel until it meets the southern property boundary. The high ground portion of the property has a canopy consisting of a mix of Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) and Laurel Oak (Quercus laurifolia) trees. The understory vegetation includes Greenbriar (Smilax auriculata) and Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera), and other native grasses. Transitional species are found along the ecotone between high ground and high elevation salt marsh including Seaside Golden Rod (Solidago sempervirens L.), Sea Oxeye (Borrichia frutescens), and Grounsel-bush (Baccharus halimifolia). The high elevation salt marsh on the property includes Black Needle Rush (Juncus roemananus) and Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina patens). This mix continues until a lower elevation is reached, where a monoculture of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) begins. The New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the area in the vicinity of the project area as developed. It is located in a VE Flood Zone. The waters in the project area (Carolina Beach Yacht Basin) are classified as SB by the N:C. 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 is proposing a new private docking facility (10 slips). The proposed docking facility extend would extend waterward from the eastern side of the parcel towards the Carolina Beach Yacht Basin. The proposed docking facility includes: a fixed pier that measures approximately 509' x 6'. Approximately 105' waterward from the origin of the pier, there would be a 10' span that is elevated 6' above MHW to accommodate a navigable slough that extends northward from the open water along the pier span. Approximately 180' waterward from the origin of the pier, there would be a 14'x 16' covered gazebo over open water. The pier would terminate in a 'T -head' platform measuring approximately 100' by 6', running parallel to the shoreline. Where the pier intersects the 'T -head', there would be two 1.

John and Carol RideMder.dwg 1614 Island Marina Drive, Carol and John Rider Page Three 16' x 6' platforms, on the northern and southern sides of the pier, to serve as 'golf cart turnarounds'. The northern end of the 'T -head' would include a 16'x 16' covered gazebo extending landward over open water. The 'T -head' would also include two 24'x 4' fixed finger piers and one 40'x 4' fixed finger pier extending waterward, perpendicular from the 'T -head'. The southern terminus of the 'T -head' would feature a 12' x 6' access pier extending waterward to a gangway, leading down to a 52' x 6' floating dock, extending perpendicular from the 'T -head'. A total of six 12.5' x 10' boatlifts would be included among the three fixed finger piers, being proposed on both the northern and southern edges of each fixed finger pier. The application states that existing water depths range from -1' MLW in the 'T -head' area to -9'MLW at the most waterward of the proposed features (eastern edge of 52' floating dock). 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS As proposed, this docking facility would result in the incorporation of approximately 5,680 ft2 of Public Trust Area and Estuarine Waters. The access pier and platform would shade roughly 2,490 ft2 of vegetated wetlands, and 3,194 ft2 of open water. As the facility is proposed, at its point of furthest extension the proposed structures would extend approximately 81' waterward in an area where the water body is approximately 390' wide, meeting compliance with the % width rule. The facility would also be constructed approximately 20' landward of the existing Town of Carolina Beach pier head line and approximately 9' landward of the Federal AIWW channel setback. As proposed, the facility would not encroach into the adjacent 15' riparian corridor setback from properties on both the northern and southern borders. The proposed pier would be approximately 100' away from the NC WRC boat ramp to the north, and 50' away from the marina to the south. The application states that the facility would accommodate 10 vessels total. The proposed project would increase boat traffic in an area with heavy preexisting boat traffic, due to the Annie Drive NC WRC boat ramp immediately to the north, and the Waterfronte Villas marina immediately to the south. The proposed facility would incorporate an area of estuarine waters and coastal wetland at the northern terminus of the Carolina Beach Yacht Basin. While this area is not listed as Primary Nursery Area, it has value to juvenile finfish and shrimp populations. As one of the last remaining areas of coastal wetlands in the Carolina Beach Yacht Basin, the marsh ecosystem provides habitat for shrimp, mullet, menhaden, herring, and serves as a baitfish supply for many fishermen/women operating in the area. The site is popular for cast netting, and is valuable to fishermen for its proximity to the boat ramp and accessibility. The proposed constructed features may incorporate the area in a way that makes it less accessible for the public. With shallow water depths (-1' MLW) reported by the applicant in the area that would be utilized for the four northernmost slips, this limited depth creates potential for propwash and kicking affecting the benthic ecological community and fishery. There appear to be no SAV present in the project area. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during project construction.

Project Narrative 3.1.1 Project Location and Existing Conditions The project is located on Snow's Cut adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at 1614 Island Marina Drive in Carolina Beach, New Hanover County. The 0.74 -acre property is currently deeded to Daniel P Cappa, et al., and was purchased in May of 1995. Carol Rider is the applicant for the proposed project, formally known as Carol Olmstead as listed on recorded deed and tax bill for the property (Appendix B). The property currently contains no buildings or residences and is partially cleared with shrub vegetation and grasses. There is an existing bulkhead along the coastal wetland line. The project area waterbody is classified as SA waters, is not open to shellfishing and is not designated as a primary nursery area. No SAV or significant shellfish resources are present. 3.1.2 Proposed Action The property is currently. a vacant lot and no upland development or impervious surfaces are currently proposed. One 509' long by 6' wide fixed pier, extending from the uplands eastward to a 100' long by 6' wide dock, is proposed to provide water access to the lot. The pier will have two covered gazebos (one with a 16'x 16' roofline and the other with 16' x 14' roofline) and two 16' x 6' golf cart turn -around platforms. Two 24' x 4' fixed finger piers provide access to 4 boat lifts and one 40' x 4' fixed finger pier will serve two more lifts. A 12' long by 6' wide dock and 20' x 4' ramp lead to a 52' x 6' floating dock to support 4 wet slips. See Appendix A for details.
