seasonal boat rental operation at the Barrier Island Station, Duck, Dare County.

Field Report
SITE DESCRIPTION
North Beach Sailing, Inc. currently leases the existing 250' long dock and its 500 ft2 gazebo, as well
as the paved parking area for use as a seasonal small-boat rental operation. The existing dock and gazebo
were permitted under CAMA permit #74-84 to Barrier Island Station. Currently the shoreline is
bulkheaded with a concrete boat ramp located near the property's southern boundary line. The water depth
adjacent the wooden bulkhead is approximately 6" and slopes gradually to a depth of 2' at the end of the
gazebo. Wind tides can change this depth by as much as + or - 1.5 feet. The bottom of Currituck Sound
in the vicinity of the project consists of coarse sand with minor amounts of shell fragments. No submerged
aquatic vegetation has been observed in the area. Onshore, the Barrier Island Station Restaurant is located
immediately at the landward end of the existing pier. South of the property, the normal water line of
Currituck Sound is located very close to the right-of-way of Hwy 12 and no structures exist for several
hundred yards. To the north of the property, rental/timeshare units exist along the shoreline as part of
Ships Watch development.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
The applicant, North Beach Sailing, Inc. proposes to install floating buoys for 45 small watercraft.
These buoys would consist of anchors with chains and floating buoys to which vessels would be attached.
The buoys would accomodate a seasonal small-boat rental facility consisting of sailboats, kayaks, canoes,
waverunners, windsurfers, etc. The buoys and their anchors would be installed in April of each year and
completely removed in October of each year. The buoys would be located from the end of the gazebo
shoreward and extend south from the pier approximately 340 feet. The applicant also desires to place
buoys to define a navigation channel to a designated usage area in the middle of Currituck Sound. These
buoys would define the area to which the rental units were confined. These buoys would not be used for
moorings but merely for definition. Like all the other buoys, these would also be placed and removed
seasonally.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
A total of approximately 2 acres of public trust area in Currituck Sound would be seasonally usurped
by the boat rental operation. Some turbidity, although short-termed and of small scale should occur from
the placement and retrieval of the anchors and buoys. Additional turbidity should result from the use of the
small-boats in the shallow waters of Currituck Sound. No archaeological sites have been identified in the
vicinity of the project.
CAMA REVIEW
The Dare County Land Use Plan review and consistency determination will be conducted and
submitted under separate cover by Stephen Gabriel.
Please type or print. Carefully describe all anticipated
development activities, including construction, excava-
tion, filling,'paving, land clearing, and stormwater con-
trol. If the requested information is not relevant to your
project, write N/A (not applicable). Items 1-4. and 8-9
must be completed for all projects.
