SITE DESCRIPTION
The applicant, Earl F. Slick owns a 1.6-acre tract of land located between Hwy 12 and
the Currituck Sound near the northern end of Dare County. The tract of land is located in
the development known as Sanderling which the applicant has developed over the past 15
years. The Sanderling Inn Health Club and Sports Complex are currently located on the
tract including tennis courts, racquetball courts, health club and paved parking. All of these
facilities are located on high ground landward of the wetlands which are located along the
shoreline of the tract. Leaving the highground and progressing toward Currituck Sound, the
ground elevation drops considerably down to Section "404" wetlands. This area is vegetated
with wax myrtles, groundsel trees, catbriars and various sedges. A short distance
waterward, coastal wetlands begin with a 40- to 60-foot wide stand of Spartina cynosuroides.
This gives way to a 40-foot wide band of Juncus romerianus along the shoreline of Currituck
Sound. Scattered clumps of Spartina alterniflora are located up and down the shoreline. The
water depth of Currituck Sound near the coastal wetlands is near or less than 6". The
bottom of Currituck Sound in the vicinity of this project is hard consisting primarily of
coarse sand. Scattered patches of submerged aquatic vegetation were observed approximately
100 feet offshore of the shoreline.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes to construct an elevated 6' by 175' long wooden pier with a
200 ft2, roofed gazebo at its waterward end. The pier would originate at the existing paddle
ball courts and extend across the wetlands to reach Currituck Sound. Approximately 25 feet
of the pier would cross "404" wetlands before crossing approximately 90 feet of coastal
wetlands. The remainder of the pier, approximately 60 feet, would extend over the shallow
waters of Currituck Sound. The proposed pier would stop in water approximately 1 foot
deep, just short of the observed patches of submerged aquatic vegetation.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
Approximately 540 ft2 of coastal wetlands will be shaded by the pier. An additional
150 ft2 of 404 wetlands will also be shaded by the pier. Approximately 560 ft2 of shallow
water habitat in Currituck Sound will be shaded by the pier. Temporary increases in
turbidity may result during the construction of the pier. No archaeological sites should be
impacted by the project.
