FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - GARY MERCER/BEAUFORT LANDING
TOWNHOMES, CARTERET COUNTY
PAGE #2
*NOTE: AN ADDITIONAL PROJECT, BEAUFORT LANDING VILLAGE (GARY
MERCER) IS CURRENTLY IN PROCESS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW
DOCKS.
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is a
developed multi-residential townhome complex named "Beaufort
Landing Townhomes" located on Front Street, Taylors Creek,
Carteret County. This existing project is located just west
of an additional CAMA Major Permit Application project
currently under review. Beaufort Landing Townhomes were
constructed several years ago, and CAMA Major Permit #188-85
was issued to Taylor Creek Investments (subsequently
transferred to Frank-Kay II) for dredging and construction
of a 20 slip community dock. The existing community dock
was constructed in 1988.
This new permit application is for the renovation and
addition of the existing dock. Specifically, the applicant
proposes to add 1.5' x 80' wide catwalks down each side of
the existing 5' x 80' access pier. The catwalks will
provide better access for dinghies. The applicant also
proposes to delete two (2) catwalks and add four (4) new
catwalks with finger piers on the landward side of the
t-head pier. This realignment will allow for easier docking
with the tidal flow. The total number of existing slips is
17, and under the new proposal, there will be 16. The
original permit was for 20 slips.
A major permit is required for the renovation since it is a
commercial facility. The project, as constructed, does not
meet the 27 sq. ft. community dock rule. However, the
proposed renovation does not increase the overall footprint
of the slip area.
