SITE REPORT
The City of Elizabeth City owns 2.5 acres of land along the
confluence of Charles Creek and the Pasquotank River which serves
as a public park.
The project site (park) has a grass picnic area, sidewalks,
surfaced parking, a concrete "boardwalk", and two boat ramps. The
shoreline is bulkheaded with sheet piling capped with concrete.
The poor condition of the bulkhead has forced the City to obtain
a CAMA General Permit for its replacement.
Vegetation on the site consists of a mixture of turf grasses
and several trees: Chamaecyparis thyoides (White Cedar), and
Betula nigra (River Birch).
Across Charles Creek from the park are several commercial
marinas. Adjoining properties west and north of the park are
developed and utilized for commercial purposes.
The applicant proposes to construct a pier (48' x 81) with a
"T" platform (10' x 56') out of approved material. The pier
would be located approximately 160 ft. south of the May's
property (identified on the applicant's plat) and would run
perpendicular to the shoreline. Water depth along the bulkhead
is -10 ft.
The water depth 50 ft. waterward of the bulkhead is
approximately -17 ft. deep.
The proposed pier and platform are intended for public
benefit and will be financed jointly by the state (Estuarine
Beach Access Program) and the City.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed project will cover 944 sq. ft. of public
trust/estuarine waters. The pier/platform alignment may restrict
traditional boat movement from Charles Creek to the Pasquotank
River. During warm weather, this traffic can be heavy. the
public boat ramp at the park is quite popular with recreational
boaters. There are no wetlands or submerged aquatic vegetation
in the project area.
