Project setting
Tom Hicks, on behalf of Minnesott Beach Holdings, LLC, has requested the attached
application be processed under the Express Permit Review Program, for a planned development
under the name of Wayfarers Cove. The project site is located at Minnesott Beach off SR 1121
(Bennett Road) upstream of the ferry landing at the Wayfarers Cove Marina (formerly known as the
Minnesott Beach Yacht Basin) site on the Neuse River and a manmade basin and canal (Alligator
Gut), near Arapahoe in Pamlico County, Nort]Z Carolina.
The applicant's parcel of land is (40.74 acres and X34.85 acres are proposed for
development. The site has X740' of riverfront shoreline with no stabilization in place. The existing
marina (CAMA Maj or Permit No. 109-84RT) is a ~ 13 8 slip facility constructed in a manmade basin
with an access canal, and a channel into the Neuse River. The access canal with riprap groins on
each side projecting into the Neuse River is located on property owned by the Miruiesott Golf and
Country Club. The entire marina facility is located in Alligator Gut, a natural stream and wetland
area excavated prior to Coastal Management permit authority. While a small area of the basin has
been bulkheaded, the majority of the basin area has non-stabilized shoreline. Currently on the
property are a dwelling adj acent the Neuse River (at the downstream (east) end), several commercial
buildings adjacent the basin, a boat yard, swimming pool, and two access roads. In addition, a diked
spoil area is present adjacent the Neuse River at the upstream (west) end of the property.
The majority of the site is vegetated with mixed hardwoods and pines. The under story is
comprised of vines and herbaceous shrubs mixed with upland grasses. The river shoreline is a sand
beach area t30' wide that interfaces the wooded area at a t3' erosion escarpment on the dov~nlstream
(east) end. As you transition upstream, the erosion escarpment elevates to X10' in the center and
terminates at X20' at the upstream (west) end. There are two areas of Spartina patens on the upper
portion of the beach terminating at the erosion escarpment.
The project site is bordered on the upstream (west) side by a bulkheaded and developed lot
with asingle-family residence and a pier with a boatlift in the Neuse River. Upstream of this
property are several additional single-family developed lots with individual piers and slips.
As described above, the adjacent downstream (east) property is owned by the Minnesott Golf
Club and is comprised of the access canal, protective riprap groins that prof ect into the Neuse River,
and narrow strips of highground adjacent both sides the entrance canal. These strips are vegetated
similarly to the applicants but also include a large area of Phragmites sp. on the downstream (east)
side of the canal. Immediately downstream of the Golf Club property is The Links at Wayfarers
Cove. This is a condominium development currently under construction (CAMA Major Express
Permit No. 29-OS). No docking facilities exist on either of these properties.
The site is 10' to 25' above the normal water level (NWL). The Neuse River in this area is
classified SB-NSW by the Environmental Management Commission and is closed to shellfishing.

Express Permit Review Program
Project description
The applicant proposes to redevelop the property by creating 23 single-family lots, 48 town
homes, 20 condominiums, a community center, pool, relocated boatyard, dockmaster/ship store
office, several retail stores, and access roads with parking areas. With the exception of the 50' Neuse
River Riparian Buffer, the entire X34.85 acres of uplands on the site will be disturbed.
Approximately 1.51 acres (65,598 ft2) will be gradedand/or filled within the 75' Estuarine Shoreline
Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). The 1.51 disturbed acres within the Estuarine Shoreline
AEC include the construction of asphalt access roads, parking areas and a small portion of the
commercial building adjacent the basin that will impact 0.72 acres (31,305 ft2). The proposed
impervious coverage within the 75' Estuarine Shoreline has been calculated at 15.39%.
The existing gravel and soil access roads will be removed, as will the existing 4 buildings and
the pool. The house on the Neuse River will be removed and most of the site will be cleared and
grubbed. The existing spoil disposal area adjacent the Neuse River will be removed and the area
graded for town home lots. Fifteen town homes lots are proposed adjacent the Neuse River well
outside the 75' Estuarine Shoreline AEC. Each lot will be approximately 2,180 ft2 (0.05 acre) in
size. The remainder of the proposed town home lots and the condominiums will be located around
the marina basin. Although some of the proposed lots around the manmade basin do encroach within
the 75' Estuarine Shoreline AEC, no structures, only grading, are proposed within these areas.
The applicant proposes to connect to an existing 6" water main (owned by Pamlico County)
located adjacent to the site. Individual septic tanks will connect into an onsite low-pressure sewage
system with a 4.17 acre drain field (documentation is attached). A Coastal Storm Water Permit with
the Division of Water Quality has been applied for as well as a Sedimentation and Erosion Control
Plan with the Division of Land Resources. A NPDES permit has been applied for associated with
boat hull washing operations that will occur at the relocated boatyard area. A concrete pad is
proposed at this location f120' from the NWL of the manmade basin. The runoff from the boat hull
washing operations will be collected in a closed system as per the attached documentation and
plat(s).
Approximately 7401inear feet of rock riprap is proposed along the erosion escarpment at the
upper or landward end of the beach area and landward of the existing Coastal Wetland area. The
riprap is proposed on a 2 to 1 slope, and the majority of the riprap will be outside the 75' Estuarine
Shoreline AEC. No additional backfill is proposed. The riprap will cover 7,400 ft2 of Estuarine
Shoreline and will be no closer than 25 ' to the NWL. The riprap as proposed will be placed within
the Neuse River Buffer Basin area.
Anticipated impacts
The project as proposed will result in the disturbance oft1,524,600 ft2 (~35 acres) ofuplands
as a result of the development activities.

WAYFARERS COVE ,~UL 2 1 2005
MINNESOTT BEACH, NORTH CAROLINA
Project Description
This project consists of the development of asingle-family and multi-family residential
subdivision, marina and related commercial development on a 40.74 acre parcel of land located
at the end of Bennett Road in Minnesott Beach, Pamlico County, North Carolina. It is proposed
that a mixture ofsingle-family homes, townhomes and condominium units be developed and
conveyed individually. In addition to the residential development, commercial development will
occur on the site including the development of a small restaurant/snack bar facility, a
dockmasters office and ship store, meeting space, a community center and swimming pool
facilities. Anew boat repair and maintenance yard will be constructed along the northern side of
the property.
The subject property is currently developed with ~~-hat was formerly known as the Minnesott
Beach Yacht Basin. This facility has been renamed Wayfarers Cove. This project addresses the
upland area development around the existing marina facilities. It is proposed at some point in
the future to renovate the marina facilities to include the installation of a new bulk head along a
new basin alignment and the installation of new floating docks. V
The proposed development will be served by public water service provided by Pamlico County
and on-site sewage disposal and treatment area.
The follo~~ ing permits are being secured associated with the upland development portion of the
proposed project:
LAMA Major Permit
2. Coastal Stormwater Permit
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit
4. Public Water Permit
On-Site VVaste~~-ater Permit
6. NPDES Permit (for bottom washing operations)
Additional permitting will be required at the time that the marina renovation occurs.
J
Find below a ~~eneral description of the proposed development as it relates to each of these
permits.
A. CA1\1A Major Permit
A CAMA Major permit is being sought in order to properly execute this project. LAMA
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) exist on the property. Limited development is
proposed to occur within these CAMA AEC areas as a part of the proposed upland
development. The proposed disturbance within the CAMA AEC area as part of the
upland development includes the installation of limited impermeable surfaces within the
LAMA AEC area and the light filling and grading in the AEC areas to establish finish
grades. Additionally, rip rap shoreline stabilization will be installed along the existing
storm escarpment along the Neuse River shoreline on the project site.
Otherwise, no other land disturbing activities or construction are proposed to occur
within the CAMA AEC or below the normal water level as a part of this submittal.
B. Coastal Stormwater Permit
The subject property is located adjacent to the Neuse River and Alligator Gut. These
water bodies have a classification of SB, Sw, NSW. SA waters do exist at a point in the
Neuse River east of the site. The SA and SB delineation line extends from Wilkerson
Point to Chevy Point on the southern shoreline of the Neuse River. This delineated line
is located in excess of one-half mile from the subject property.
The proposed development on the subject property will result in an overall built-upon
density of 32.5% necessitating a High Density Stormwater permit. Due to the superior
soil conditions present on the site, the depth to groundwater, and considering the limited
space available for a stormwater retention system, infiltration basins will be employed to
satisfy the Coastal Stormwater Regulations. All runoff from newly created impermeable
surfaces will be routed to these infiltration basins. Small fringe areas located between the
rear of the proposed development and the Neuse River or Alligator Gut surface waters
are naturally graded to drain towards these water bodies. No runoff from these areas are
proposed to be collected and routed through the stormwater systems due to elevation
constraints. These areas are presently covered with grass vegetation or trees and limited
no grading or altering of the surfaces in these fringe areas ~~ ill occur.
A total of (8) drainage basins are located on the subject property as follows:
Drainage Basin No. 1 covers a total area of 7.~ 1 acres. It is proposed that this drainage
basin be developed to a density of 43.9% built-upon. The one-inch storm within this
drainage basin will be collected and routed to Infiltration Basin No. I which will be
constructed adjacent to the tennis court area. The one-inch storm volume for this basin is
13,802 cubic feet. The provided retention volume is 14,373 cubic feet. Any volume in
excess of the stora~~e volume ~t-ill bypass the infiltration basin and will discharge in a
non-erosive fashion to a tlo~~ dissipating swale ~ti~hich will spill runoff across the
bulkhead area. Although this drainage area exceeds the 5 acre limit for infiltration basins
the entire draina~fe area for Basin No. 1 will be treated through this basin system. Due to
the topography and limited space, one larger infiltration basin was determined to be the
best alternative. The draw down times of the soils found in Wayfarers Cove in addition
to the basin size are more than adequate to handle the entire 7.51 acre drainage area.
Drainage Basin No. 2 covers a total area of 6.19 acres. It is proposed that this basin be
developed to an overall density of 44.3 % built-upon area. It is proposed that all runoff
from Drainage Basin No. 2 be routed to Infiltration Basin No. 2 which will be
constructed on the western side of the proposed community center. The required one-
inch storm volume at this basin is 11,557 cubic feet. The provided storage volume is
12,220 cubic feet. All runoff in excess of the storage volume will bypass the infiltration
basin and will discharge to the vegetated area at the rear of the condominium and
townhouse development along the proposed future bulkhead. Drainage Basin No. 2 also
exceeds the 5 acre limit; however, it was also determined that an enlarged infiltration
basin would be the best alternative. The basin size in combination with the soils present
are more than adequate to handle the 6.19 acre drainage area.
Drainage Basin No. 3 covers a total area of 2.51 acres. This drainage basin is located on
the Neuse River end of the project. [t is proposed that this drainage basin be developed
to an overall density of 59.8°~0. All runoff from this drainage basin swill be routed through
Infiltration Basin No. 3. The required one-inch storage capacity in this basin is 5,796 y
cubic feet. The provided storage volume is 6,513 cubic feet. All runoff in excess of the
storage volume ~a~ill discharge to Alligator Gut via flow spreading swales.
Drainage Basin No. 4A covers a total area of 5.94 acres. This drainage basin is located
on the northern end of the project site. The majority of this drainage basin consists of the
lo~~~ pressure sewer system disposal area. It is proposed that this drainage basin be
developed to an overall density of 17.6%. All runoff from this drainage basin will be
rerouted through Infiltration Basin No. 4A. The required one-inch storm volume is 6,557
cubic feet. The provided storage volume in Infiltration Basin No. 4A is 10,525 cubic
feet. All runoff in excess of the storage volume will discharge to Alligator Gut via fiow
spreading swales. Drainage Basin No. 4 also exceeds the 5 acre limit; however, it was
also determined that an enlarged infiltration basin would be the best alternative. The
basin size in combination with the soils present are more than adequate to handle the 5.94
acre drainage area.
Drainage Basin No. 4B covers a total area of 0.86 acres. This drainage basin is located
on the northei7~ end of the project site. It is proposed that this drainage basin be
developed to an overall density of 48.9%. All runoff from this drainage basin will
rerouted through Infiltration Basin 4B. The required storage capacity in this basin is
1,729 cubic feet. The provided storage volume is 3,129 cubic feet. All runoff in excess
of the storage volume will discharge ro Alligator Gut via flow spreading swales.
Drainage Basin No. 5 covers a total area of 3.28 acres. Drainage Basin No. ~
encompasses the proposed boatyard area. A separate infiltration basin is proposed for
this area which will collect and treat in excess oi•the one-inch storm volume and to avoid
CO-1711ngllllg of runoff into other drainage basins on the project. The minin7um required
storm volume is 4,769 cubic feet; however, a total capacity of 14,253 cubic feet is
provided representing storage capacity for an approximate three-inch storm. Any runoff
in excess of the provided storage volume will bypass the infiltration basin and will
discharge to the flow spreading s~~~ale located adjacent to the haul out facility as shown
on the project plans.
Drainage Basins Nos. 6, 7 and 8 represent the fringe areas of the site which are located
topographically dowl7gradiant of tl7e proposed developl»ent. Drainage Basin No. 6 is
located on the eastern side of the project site downgradiant of Drainage Basin No. 4. An
existing gravel road located within this drainage basin will be removed as a part of the
proposed construction and this area will be revegetated in order to re-establish a buffer
area. The proposed revegetation of this area will result in additional treatn7ent beyond
that which currently exists today and will result in the re-establishment of a buffer area
adjacent to the surface waters of Alligator Gut.
Drainage Basin No. 7 represents the fringe area along Neuse River Drive. The majority
of this area will remain vegetated with the existing mature vegetation that exists today.
Drainage Basin No. 8 represents the fringe area located adjacent to the Neuse River and
Alligator Gut at the southern end of the project. Limited to no grading activities will
occur within this fringe area. The existing vegetation is proposed to remain in this area
of the project.
A soils evaluation has been completed on the subject property as a part of the initial design
efforts for the installation of an on-site septic system on the property. Hydraulic conductivity
tests were completed on the site at an elevation of approximately 18 to 23 feet above the water
level Groundwater was found to exist in this area of the site at depths in excess of 9 feet below
the surface. Hydraulic conductivity tests revealed an average hydraulic conductivity of the soils
of ] 08.0 inches per hour. The soils on this site generally consists of a Alpin fine sands which
are very sandy in nature to depths in excess of five feet below the surface. It is proposed that the
bottom of the infiltration basins be constructed approximately two feet below grade. Table 15 of
the Pamlico County Soils Survey provides a recommended permeability rate within the Alpin
fine sands between 2.0 and 6.0 inches per hour. It is proposed that the infiltration basins be
constructed to a maximum flooded depth of two feet. Considering an infiltration rate of 2.0
inches per hour, the infiltration basin should go dry within a time period of 12 hours of a storm
event or ;% days.
C. Erosion and Sedimentation Conh•ol Permit
An Erosion and Sedimentation Control permit will be needed to properly execute the
project since in excess of one acre of land will be disturbed. (t is proposed that all areas
of the subject property other than the majority of the areas within the existing >0 foot
Neuse Riparian Buffer area and those areas below the normal water level be disturbed to
execute the project. The project covers a total area of-34.85 acres exclusive of the
surt~ice water areas ot•Alli~~ato-' Gut located on the site. Less than 34.85 acres will be
disturbed since no existing riparian buffer areas will be impacted by the proposed
construction ocher than light grading activities. However a permit fee covering a total
disturbed area of 34.83 acres, or 51,750 is included ~~-ith the permit application.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control devices will be utilized on the subject property to
protect the abutting surface waters and surrounding properties. Permanent vegetation
will be established on the site in order to stabilize the finish surfaces.
D. Pubic Water Supply Permit
A Public Water Supply permit will be sought to properly execute the project. An existing
6-inch water main is located adjacent to the property along Bennett Road, Neuse River y
Road and on the northern side of the project on the present day Clark property.
Connections will be made to each of these water mains to form a looped water
distribution system throughout the project in an effort to maintain system pressw•es and
flow. The existing water distribution system in this area is owned by Pamlico County.
Project plans and specifications for the water distribution system will be submitted to the
State of North Carolina through Pamlico County for approval.
E. On-Site Wastewater Permit
Sewage disposal for the project will be provided by an on-site sewage disposal system.
This system will generally consist of a septic tank at each residential unit and at each
commercial building. Effluent from the septic system will be collected in a pump tank
and ~~~ill discharge through a low pressure effluent only system to apre-treatment unit
which will be located on the north end of the project site. The 4. ] 7 acre parcel of land
located on the northeastern corner of the project has been set aside for effluent treatment
and disposal. Sewage effluent ~~-ill discharge through a recirculating filter media to
remove solids and provide treatment. From this point, the sewage effluent ~~-ill be
discharged to a low pressure sewer distribution system to be located on the 4.17 acre
parcel
The on-site sewage disposal system will be permitted by the North Carolina Department
of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR) On-Site Wastewater Section. The
permit application will be submitted through the Pamlico County Health Department
prior to being forwarded to the State.
F. NPDES Permit
An NPDES permit is being secured for the project associated with bottom washing and
rinsing operations that will occur in the boatyard area of the site. It is proposed that all
bottom washing operations occw• on a concrete ~~~ash pad as depicted on the project
plans. All runoff from bottom washing operations will be collected in a recirculating
system. Solids will be collected in a grit chamber and all effluent will be recirculated.
Future Proposed Development
It is proposed that at some point in the future that the existing marina facilities at Wayfarers
Cove be renovated. This proposed renovation will consist of the removal of the existing clock
system and bulkhead and the installation ot'a new tloating dock system and bulkhead, along a
new alignment. This realignment of the basin will result in the re-establishment of new riparian
buffer and CAMA AEC areas parallel ~~-~ith the new bulkhead. The upland development
proposed at this time has been laid out to accommodate the future proposed 50 foot riparian
buffer limit and 75 foot CAMA AEC limit.
[n addition to the marina renovations, it is proposed at a some point in the future that shoreline
stabilization be installed along tl~e Neuse River side of the project in order to stabilize the steep
slopes in this area. A shoreline stabilization permit application will be submitted in conjunction
with the marina renovations permit.

Dear Dolores,
Please accept this letter as confirmation of our phone conversation. As I
mentioned to you, I respectfully disagree with your decision regarding our marina
property. When Tom and I first spoke with you, you informed us there were no
archeological sites of interest identified on the marina property and that we would not
have any survey requirements imposed on that property as a result of a CAMA permit
application in the future. Dan Cassedy has done a reconnaissance of our marina property,
at your request and our expense. You have now changed your mind and indicate that you
will require an archeological survey based on his suggestion that there is a location that
maybe archeologically sensitive and not excessively disturbed.
We bent over backwards at great expense to cooperate with you on the Country
Club property. We would appreciate you giving this some consideration in dealing with
our marina property. We are willing to have Dan Cassedy or another archeologist survey
the property for a day, as you and I have discussed on the phone. If they find nothing of
significant we will be free to move on with our project without further archeological
requirements. Please let me know your thoughts on this, as soon as possible. We are in
the process of submitting our CAMA permit.
I will keep you posted as to our progress as we firm up plans to have the property
surveyed. I am hopeful everything can be worked out as it was in the past. Thank you
very much.
Sincerely,
P..~ ~ m~~

Re: Archaeological Sensitivity of Your Additional Property Associated with the Marina at Minnesott Beach.
Dear Mr. McMurray:
This letter is to summarize the results of my brief reconnaissance of the property you intend to develop associated with
the Minnesott Marina. During our excavations at site 31 PM8 next to the golf course, you asked me to take a look at the
property along the west side of Alligator Gut Creek where you are planning additional residential development. You and
I walked the property so I could assess the terrain, vegetation, and evidence of prior disturbance. This was a visual
inspection rather than a systematic survey. Based on my inspection, I can provide you with the following comments.
There are two areas of the property that appear to be both archaeologically sensitive and not excessively disturbed.
The general location and boundaries of these areas is depicted on the air photo on page 2 of this letter. One area is on
the point of land at the mouth of the creek between your house and the dredge spoil settlement basin. The other area is
on the higher ridge just west of the marina office and the south of the marina repair yard. These areas flagged as
archaeologically sensitive are likely to contain one or more prehistoric archaeological sites.
Other portions of your existing property have been disturbed by dredging, dredge spoil disposal, marina construction
and previous land clearing. Any sites that once existed have likely been disturbed to the point they do not exist or are
not significant.
The adjacent property that you have under option extends north along the west side of the creek (now a small man-
made lake) north of the earthen dam. After inspecting this area, I believe it has a lower potential for containing
archaeological sites. The most sensitive terrain has been submerged by the lake, and the relative slope of the terrain
adjacent to the lake is less conducive to prehistoric settlement.
Respectfully submitted,
