Project Summary The applicant proposes to reconstruct the Yaupon Beach Fishing Pier to the original dimensions that existed prior to hurricane storm damage in 1989 The pier would be 914 feet long 16 feet wide with a 40 feet by 16 feet T-head platform constructed at the waterward end. 00 David Becknex Page Two The projec.-t site is the existing location of the Yaupon Beach public ocean fishing pier at 705 Ocean Drive, Yaupon Beach, on Oak Island in Brunswick County. The high ground property area is approximately 1/2 acre in size. It measures approximately 200 feet wide by 110 feet deep to the east, and 140 feet deep to the west. The average elevation of the property is 9.4 feet. The southern, or ocean side of the property is stabilized with large concrete rip rap, which pre- dates the Division's ban of ocean front hardening structures. The rip rap begins at the applicant's eastern property line and extends several hundred feet west of the project. Existing high ground structures include a combination restaurant/pier house (approximately 4000 sq. ft. ), and paved parking area (approximately 13000 sq. ft.). The ocean fishing pier sustained moderate damage during Hurricane Hugo in 1989, losing several hundred feet of pier decking and numerous pilings. The previous owner opted not to make immediate repairs to the pier, and subsequent structural deterioration over the past three years resulted in the condemnation of the pier as unsafe by local inspectors. The pier currently exists in three separate sections, with remnant pilings and other debris exposed in the water between sections, as well as several hundred feet waterward of the end of the last section. The long-term annual erosion rate in the project area is three (3) feet per year. The Flood Insurance Rate Map (F.I.R.M.) classifies the project area in the Coastal Flood Hazard and Velocity Zone (VE-22), with a base flood elevation of 22 feet. The Town of Yaupon Beach's, Focal Flood Ordinance, requires that structures be elevated an additional two (2) feet above the base flood elevation. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are classified SB, by the N.C. Division of Environmental Management. The applicant and new property owner, is currently in the process of dismantling and removing the hazardous debris and remains of the old pier. He proposes to rebuild the pier along the same alignment, and to the same dimensions that existed prior to the 1989 storm damage and subsequent deterioration, resulting from neglect. The pier would be 914 feet long and 16 feet wide. A T-shaped platform, 40 feet long and 16 feet wide, would be constructed at the waterward end of the pier. Engineered construction details indicate that the elevation of the pier's lowest horizontal supporting timber would be raised from 18.75 feet to 24 feet, to meet the Local Flood Ordinance regulations. There are no construction or improvements proposed for the existing high ground structures or property. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed replacement of the ocean fishing pier would cover the same 15,264 square feet of waters of the Atlantic Ocean as the previous pier. The removal of the existing pier debris would abate the navigational and public safety hazards that currently exist with the pier in it's present state of disrepair. The rebuilding of the pier would provide public access and utilization of the resource, as well as, promoting the local economy through associated business (i.e. motels, restaurants, tackle shops, etc.).

Project Summary The applicant proposes to reconstruct the Yaupon Beach Fishing Pier to the original dimensions that existed prior to hurricane storm damage in 1989 The pier would be 914 feet long, 16 feet wide, with a 40 feet by 16 feet T-head platform constructed at the waterward end. VIM* * David Beckner Page Two 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is the existing location of the Yaupon Beach public ocean fishing pier at 705 Ocean Drive, Yaupon Beach, on Oak Island in Brunswick County. The high ground property area is approximately 1/2 acre in size. It measures approximately 200 feet wide by 110 feet deep to the east, and 140 feet deep to the west. The average elevation of the property is 9.4 feet. The southern, or ocean side of the property is stabilized with large concrete rip rap, which pre- dates the Division's ban of ocean front hardening structures. The rip rap begins at the applicant's eastern property line and extends several hundred feet west of the project. Existing high ground structures include a combination restaurant/pier house (approximately 4000 sq. ft. ), and paved parking area (approximately 13000 sq. ft.). The ocean fishing pier sustained moderate damage During Hurricane Hugo in 1989, losing several hundred feet of pier decking and numerous pilings. The previous owner opted not to make immediate repairs to the pier, and subsequent structural deterioration over the past three years resulted in the condemnation of the pier as unsafe by local inspectors. The pier currently exists in three separate sections, with remnant pilings and other debris exposed in the water between sections, as well as several hundred feet waterward of the end of the last section. The long-term annual erosion rate in the project area is three (3) feet per year. The Flood Insurance Rate Map (F.I.R.M.) classifies the project area in the Coastal Flood Hazard and Velocity Zone (VE-22), with a base flood elevation of 22 feet. The Town of Yaupon Beach's, Local Flood Ordinance, requires that structures be elevated an additional two (2) feet above the base flood elevation. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are classified SB, by the N.C. Division of Environmental Management. The applicant and new property owner, is currently in the process of dismantling and removing the hazardous debris and remains of the old pier. He proposes to rebuild the pier along the same alignment, and' to the same dimensions that existed prior to the 1989 storm damage and subsequent deterioration, resulting from neglect. The pier would be 914 feet long and 16 feet wide. A T-shaped platform, 40 feet long and 16 feet wide, would be constructed at the waterward end of the pier. Engineered construction details indicate that the elevation of the pier's lowest horizontal supporting timber would be raised from 18.75 feet to 24 feet, to meet the Local Flood Ordinance regulations. There are no construction or improvements proposed for the existing high ground structures or property. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed replacement of the ocean fishing pier would cover the same 15,264 square feet of waters of the Atlantic Ocean as the previous pier. The removal of the existing pier debris would abate the navigational and public safety hazards that currently exist with the pier in it's present state of disrepair. The rebuilding of the pier would provide public access and utilization of the resource, as well as, promoting the local economy through associated business (i.e. motels, restaurants, tackle shops, etc.).
