Showboat Motel located on Morehead Avenue, in the Town of Atlantic Beach.
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
SHOWBOAT MOTEL
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant owns an approximately 1 acre tract of
land located on the east side of Morehead Avenue in the Town of Atlantic Beach. The
property is situated at the intersection of Bogue Sound and a man-made canal and is
bordered on the north by the Channel Marker Restaurant and on the south by a jet-ski
rental business. The property has been developed into a two story, 44 room motel
known as The Showboat. Except for an approx. 85' wide x 120' long grassed lawn
area located on the southernmost portion of the property, the entire site is covered with
impervious surfaces. The property has been bulkheaded but no piers have ever been
constructed into the adjacent water body. The bulkhead is in need of major repairs
but is structurally intact. The shoreline along the canal upstream from this property
has been intensity developed over the years with an assortment of different land uses.
The western shoreline of the canal (the area adjacent to Morehead Avenue) is primarily
commercial with a large number of marina and docking facilities and other commercial
businesses having been constructed in the area over the years. The shoreline on the
western side of the canal has been developed as residential and a number of piers have
been constructed into the canal's waterway. The minimum width of the canal in front
of the applicant's property has been established as 165' by a registered land surveyor.
Water depths in the area range from -.2' to -6.5' mean low water (MLW) deep. The
waters of the canal and the area of Bogue Sound in front of the applicants property
have been classified as SA and are closed to the harvesting of shellfish. There are
scattered amounts of oysters located in the area adjacent to the bulkhead.
The applicant is requesting a permit to perform maintenance excavation in Bogue
Sound and in the existing canal and to construct a replacement bulkhead, a boat ramp
and a series of docks and platforms. Plans included with the application show that an
approximately 350' long x up to 70' wide area is proposed to be excavated to -5.7'
MLW deep. The excavation is proposed to be accomplished by the use of a dragline
with the spoils being hauled off site. A 452 linear foot wooden bulkhead is proposed
to be positioned an average of 2' waterward of the existing structure. Waterward of
the new bulkhead, a 6' wide parallel dock is proposed except at the northern end. At
this location, the dock will be enlarged to an approx. 55' long x up to 28' platform. A
series of finger piers and associated mooring pilings will extend perpendicular from the
pier into the canal. The mooring pilings would be located approx. 55' waterward of
the existing mean high water line. The applicant is also proposing to construct an
approx. 36' long x 6' wide "fishing" pier which would have a 40' long x 8' wide "L'
shaped platform at its waterward end. Along the southern portion of the applicant's
property, an approx. 14' wide x 30' long boat ramp is proposed. The proposed boat
ramp would extend a maximum distance of 15' below the mean high water line. Two
40' long x 4' wide docks would be located on either side of the ramp to provide for the
temporary loading and unloading of boats using the facility. The applicant has
indicated that the docking facility has been designed to accommodate only 10 boats.
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
SHOWBOAT MOTEL
PAGE #3
10. ANTICIPATED EWFACTS: The project as proposed will result in the maintenance
excavation of approx. 14,000 ft.2 of bottom area with approx 1,300 cubic yds. of
primarily sandy material being removed. Included in the excavation area are scattered
amounts of oysters which could easily be relocated to a suitable area near by. A
portion of the excavated material will be used for backfill behind the proposed
bulkhead with the rest being hauled away. The bulkhead placement will require
approx. 1,000 ft.2 of shallow water bottom area being filled with approx. 100 cubic
yds of material being placed below the mean high water (MHW) line. The remaining
spoil material is proposed to be hauled off the site. The proposed boat ramp will cause
approx. 210 sq.2 of bottom area below the MHW line to be filled with approx. 3 cubic
yds of concrete material. Approx 210 sq.2 of highground would also be sloped, graded
and filled with concrete. The proposed docks, platforms and boat mooring areas will
encompass a "footprint" of approx. 16,000 ft.2. The mooring pilings and fishing pier
will extend out into the waters of the canal and Bogue Sound for a distance of approx.
55' to 68' beyond the existing MHW line. This would result in some of the pilings
being located one-third the width of the canal and would increase the congestion of
boats maneuvering in the area. (A residential pier is located directly across the canal
and extends into the canal for approx. one-third its width.) Large boats docking in the
slips could compound the situation since the vessels could extend beyond the mooring
pilings. The mooring pilings would, however, be in line with an adjacent marina
facility located approx. 125' upstream of this property and boat congestion already
exists in upstream areas. The applicant has indicated that the docking facility is
designed for only 10 boats. Because of the large slips being proposed (approx. 19'
wide x 40' long), it can be assumed that motel guests with trailerable boats will not
dock within the dedicated mooring spaces. Temporary docking spaces could be
provided adjacent to the parallel dock along the northern portion of the property. The
applicant has also indicated that the proposed platform on the northern property line is
to allow for the perception of a, "straight" shoreline. It is not anticipated that the
addition of these docking facilities will result in any additional closures of adjacent
open shellfishing waters.

valid request for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our
administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification

land located on the east side of Morehead Avenue in the Town of Atlantic Beach. The
property is situated at the intersection of Bogue Sound and a man-made canal and is
bordered on the north by the Channel Marker Restaurant and on the south by a jet-ski

property, an approx. 14' wide x 30' long boat ramp is proposed. The proposed boat
ramp would extend a maximum distance of 15' below the mean high water line. Two
40' long x 4' wide docks would be located on either side of the ramp to provide for the
temporary loading and unloading of boats using the facility. The applicant has
indicated that the docking facility has been designed to accommodate only 10 boats.
