conversion of a former campground into 48 residential lots. Two streets and community water
will be provided. The access to an existing pier will be divided in order that the pier can be
accessed from the ends of the proposed streets.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION May 23, 1995
The project is located on Holden Beach near the west end of the isl ' d. Portions of the development
are sited within both the Ocean Hazard Area of Environmental Con?ern and other areas fall within the
Estuarine System Areas of Environmental Concerns. The projectlis being considered under the full
development disclosure policy which the Division has adopted for p ojects of this nature. The proposed
subdivision has platted dimensions of approximately 470 feet wide y 600 feet deep. There are 48 lots
shown within the bold border of the proposed development. The dimensions of these lots are
approximately 100' x 50'. There are no improved streets at p sent on the tract. A water supply
branch permit for. new water service was issued in late 1994. ere is an existing pier located on the
north (estuarine) side of the tract. This 1000 feet long pier h served for pedestrian access to the
waters of the AIWW. It crosses over regularly and irregularly flooded marsh along its alignment. It
now touches highground about halfway between the east and est corners of the property along the
shoreline. This project is a joint venture between the Town o Holden Beach, the lot owners of the
subdivision and the original property owners who also still ow approximately eight of the lots. All
other lots are sold or undei contract to individuals or partners ins etc.. The applicants are proposing
the creation of two paved streets to serve the development. Two 6 inch water mains are also to be
provided in the street right of ways. Each street will be approximately 650' long x 20' wide within a
40' cleared right of way. The water mains will also be appr ximately 650' long. The applicants also
propose to remove a 90' section of the landward end of the xisting pier and replace it with two new
access piers/walkways in an inverted W" shape. The easte structure will be approximately 160' long
by x 6' wide. The western side will be approximately
