9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a continuation of the development associated with the new Bald Head
Island Ferry basin and mainland marina now under construction. The remainder
of the development will be within approximately 116.54 acres of land. There
has been a delineation of Corps "404" wetlands on the tract and all proposed
developable areas are landward of the "404" sections. The adjacent waters are
classified as SC in Cottage Creek and SA in the AIWW and Dutchman Creek. The
marina basin is classified SC. The area is closed to shellfishing. Dutchman
Creek is a designated primary nursery area.
The applicants propose to develop the property by creating 3 multi-family areas
and 91 single family lots. A total of 195 units will be constructed at a
density of 1.6 units per acres. Approximately 13.68 acres will be converted to
roads and parking.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The development along Dutchman Creek has the potential to create an impact on
coastal resources. However, if a suitable stormwater plan is provided and CAMA
estuarine shoreline guidelines are followed, no significant adverse impacts are
anticipated.

Dear Mr. Howard:
Re: Indigo Plantation Stormwater Exemption
Referring to the Indigo Plantation project discussed in our
meeting of March 3, 1988, the material presented, namely, the
site plan labeled "Harding Residence", represents the largest
residence we have at Indigo; and hence, represents our "typical
for residential built-upon area.
We, Bald Head Island Management and Indigo Plantation, Inc., have
complete control over the review process through a home owners
organization and complete control over the Architectural Review
process. The typical square footage will not exceed the
standards represented in "The Typical" for impervious area usage.
We will retain complete architectural and site plan control over
the outcome of the entire project. This includes control over
the square footage of all buildings and the impact of any and all
impervious surfaces.
If at any time this plan requires any changes, we will notify you
for an update.
