PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 836 Inlet View Road, adjacent to Shinn Creek canal and the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), in New Hanover County. To get to the property from the Wilmington
Regional office, take Cardinal Drive south to Eastwood Road. Turn left onto Eastwood Road and travel
east towards Wrightsville Beach. Turn right onto Military Cut-off Road at the intersection of Eastwood
Road and Military Cut-off. Continue along Military Cut-off/Oleander Drive and turn left onto Greenville
Loop Road. Follow Greenville Loop Road for approximately 1.4 miles and turn left onto Shinnwood Road.
Continue along Shinnwood road and turn right onto Inlet View Road. The subject property is located at the
terminal end of the road, southwest of the cul-de-sac.
The subject property is approximately 0.66 acres in size and contains a single-family residence, wooden
bulkhead and two-slip docking facility. Vegetation at the site consists primarily of lawn grasses and
ornamental landscaping. Residential properties border the site to the north and west and Shinn Creek Canal
borders the property towards the south. Currently, there are no areas of Coastal of "404" type wetlands
located on, or immediately adjacent to the subject property.
The Wilmington-New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the area as Conservation. The waters of
the AIWW, in the vicinity of the project, are classified SA, by the Division of Water Quality. The area is
designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA), by the Division of Marine Fisheries and is CLOSESD to the
taking of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to install a second floating dock system along the western side of the existing 12' x
12' platform. Beginning along the western edge of the platform, the applicant proposes to ramp down to a
8' x 16 floating dock. The 8' x 16' section of dock would be positioned perpendicular to the bulkhead and
would attach to a 4' x 32' section of floating dock that would span from east to west, parallel to the
bulkhead. A 12' x 12' boatlift would be installed just south of the 4' x 32' floating dock. Once completed,
the entire docking facility would provide access for up to four (4) vessels. Water depths in the vicinity of
the proposed docking system range from -2.0' to -6.0' below Mean Low Water (MLW).
According to the work plat drawings provided by the applicant's agent, the proposed structure would be
located within'/4 of the width of the waterbody, the established pier-head alignment of the two adjacent
docking structures and within the applicant's area of riparian access.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
As proposed, the planned development would incorporate approximately 400 sq. ft. of public trust and
estuarine waters. The applicant has approximately 166 linear feet of shoreline allowing 1,328 sq. ft. of
platform or docking space. As constructed, the existing facility totals approximately 396 sq. ft. of
platform/docking space and the new addition would total approximately 400 sq. ft. (including boatlift
dimensions). No impacts to Coastal or "404" wetlands would occur as a result of construction. As
previously indicated, the planned development would be located within the applicant's area of riparian
access and within 1/4 of the width of the waterbody.

This memo is to serve as a brief written narrative to request permission to Install
a boat lift and jet ski lift at 836 Inlet View Drive. We want to be able to keep
these items lifted out of the water to protect the watercraft as well as hopefully
being better for the environment. If you have any questions, please feel free W
contact me at 919-427-0045.
Thank you!
