landward end of the structure.

Landmark Organization, Inc.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed development lies adjacent to Bradley Creek off of Wrightsville
Avenue in New Hanover County. Total size of the property is 30.89 acres,
averaging 16 feet in elevation, with "404" wetlands transitioning into coastal
wetlands and Bradley Creek. The upland tract is vegetated with mixed pines and
hardwoods. The initial development on this tract of land is located landward
of CAMA jurisdiction. A stormwater density plan has been approved for this
development by the Division of Environmental Management. The subdivision falls
under the conservation overlay district (COD) requirements of New Hanover
County.
Bradley Creek in this area is a designated primary nursery area, the waters are
classified SC and are closed to shellfishing. The depth of the water is
approximately -3.5' at mean low water at the waterward end of the project.
There is a border of predominately smooth cordgrass marsh approximately 200'
wide in the project area. The boarder ranges up to several hundred feet wide
along the creek. Landward of this marsh is the project area, there is "404"
wetland gully.
The applicant proposes to construct a walkway approximately 264' long and 6'
wide across coastal wetlands, accessing a gazebo approximately 200 s.f.;
located over open water. The walkway would extend landward over "404" wetland
to high ground. It begins at the clubhouse area. Another 200 s.f. gazebo is
shown over the "404" wetland area. Because of the meandering nature of Bradley
Creek in the project area the applicants have preestablished riparian access
corridors for each water front lot. This corridor will provide for simple pier
access for the individual lot owners if they so desire. Although the
prescribed corridors do not follow the usual rules for riparian access as far
as being drawn perpendicular back from the edge of the navigable or deep water,
they are or will be described in the individual deeds.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
If constructed as proposed no significant impacts are anticipated. The project
in consistent with the LUP according to the New Hanover planning staff
Interpretation. The access corridors are acceptable.
