PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to construct a 100' bulkhead an average of 5.76' waterward of the NWL, a 4'x 40' pier, an 8'x 8' gazebo, (2) 4'x 32' bi-level platforms, and (2) mooring pilings in Jean Guite Creek. Karl Cubler Bio Report Page 2 Site Description The applicant, Karl Cubler, owns a 22,309 square foot lot on Creek Road (SR 4029) in Dare County, more specifically described as being Lot 8, Block 6, Section 1 of Martin's Point on Jean Guite Creek in Southern Shores. Currently located on the property is a two story single family dwelling on pilings and a septic tank. The property is 100' wide and forms a high bank along the shoreline with a severe slope. The crest of the existing bank rises approximately 13' above the normal water line (NWL). The average elevation of the property is 4.6' above Base Flood Elevation (BFE). The area where the proposed bulkhead and backfill will be placed is designated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) as AE with an elevation of 8'. Field investigation of the applicants property revealed evidence of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV's) adjacent to the property in the area of proposed activity. Eurasian Water- milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) was sighted in three small patches covering an area totaling four (4) square feet. Located waterward of the bulkhead alignment is a small cluster of black needlerush uncus roemerianus). Vegetation landward of NWL consists of a variety of trees such as Common Oak ( uercus robur), Persimmon Dios ros vir ing iana), Pecan (Cary a illinoiensis) and Loblolly Pine Pinus taeda). Low vegetation found along the bank and yard includes, but is not limited to, domestic grasses, Prickly Pear Cactus (Opunti compressa), Beggertick Bidens vu_ lg_ata), and Common Greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia). Proposed Development The applicant would like to construct a bulkhead, pier and platform along Jean Guite Creek. The bulkhead, as proposed, will be placed a maximum of 9' and an average of 5.76' waterward of the NWL. Sand along the high bank on the applicants lot will be used as backfill in order to reduce the slope leading to the existing shoreline. The area of high ground that will be disturbed by back filling will be approximately 2,000 square feet (100'x 20'). The average depth of fill along the slope of the shoreline (landward of the NWL) will be 2.8' and averages 3' in width and 100' long. The average depth waterward of the shoreline, measured from the proposed finished grade to the NWL is 4.5', with an average width of 5.76' and 100' long (figures shown on work sheet #3). Shallow water habitat to be filled is 576 square feet (100'x 5.76') and currently contains patchy areas of SAV's as noted above. Fill behind the proposed bulkhead will equal approximately 135.5 cubic yards. The proposed alignment will tie into existing bulkheads located on either side of the applicants property. A 4' pier will extend 40' into the bay, perpendicular to the shore, and will terminate at a 64 square foot gazebo. A bi-level platform consisting of (2) 4'x 32' sections will extend from the gazebo and run parallel to the shoreline forming an "L". The two platforms will be separated by a 2' step down. A total of 480 square feet of shallow water habitat will be Karl Cubler Bio Report Page 3 shaded by the pier, gazebo and platform. A single boat slip will be established by the placement of (2) mooring pilings that will be placed 17' apart along the east side of the gazebo. Anticipated Impacts The proposed pier, gazebo and platform will shade 480 square feet of shallow water habitat including SAV habitat within a primary nursery. Approximately 576 square feet of shallow water habitat will be filled and will result in the destruction of approximately 4 square feet of Eurasian Water-milfoil. A small cluster of black needlerush located approximately 3' from the proposed bulkhead alignment should not be affected by the project. Proper measurements will be necessary to stabilize the finished slope above the proposed bulkhead in order to prevent erosion. Some short term turbidity can be anticipated during construction of the bulkhead and the pier, gazebo and platform. CAMA Review and Consistency Jean Guite Creek is classified as "inland" waters by the Wildlife Resource Commission and marine Fisheries, and is classified as public trust water (PT) by the Division of Coastal management. Water quality is classified as "SC" by the Division of Environmental Management and is closed to shellfishing. Jean Guite Creek is also designated as a primary nursery by the Division of Marine Fisheries. Review of available information and the field investigation indicate that no unique remnant species, geologic formations or archeological sites are known to be involved with the property in question. The Southern Shores Land Use Plan classifies Public Trust Waters as "Conservation I" and the high ground area is classified as "Developed". Development in the Conservation I class allows uses permitted in the "Town Zoning Ordinance" when combined with CAMA regulations. The Developed class refers to subdivided areas which have some urban services, such as water, roads, and utilities. Development in or along estuarine waters, estuarine shorelines and public trust waters shall be limited by Southern Shores' Zoning Ordinance in compliance with the Coastal Area Management Act and Corps of Engineer's regulations (Pg. 10). It is the policy of Southern Shores that shoreline erosion control projects be supported only where no significant adverse impacts will occur to shoreline dynamics and significant economic or recreational benefits accrue to the residents of the community.

Approximately 576 square feet of shallow water habitat will be filled and will result in the destruction of approximately 4 square feet of Eurasian Water-milfoil. A small cluster of black needlerush located approximately 3' from the proposed bulkhead alignment should not be affected by the project. Proper measurements will be necessary to stabilize the finished slope above the proposed bulkhead in order to prevent erosion. Some short term turbidity can be anticipated during construction of the bulkhead and the pier, gazebo and platform. CAMA Review and Consistency Jean Guite Creek is classified as "inland" waters by the Wildlife Resource Commission and marine Fisheries, and is classified as public trust water (PT) by the Division of Coastal management. Water quality is classified as "SC" by the Division of Environmental Management and is closed to shellfishing. Jean Guite Creek is also designated as a primary nursery by the Division of Marine Fisheries. Review of available information and the field investigation indicate that no unique remnant species, geologic formations or archeological sites are known to be involved with the property in question. The Southern Shores Land Use Plan classifies Public Trust Waters as "Conservation I" and the high ground area is classified as "Developed". Development in the Conservation I class allows uses permitted in the "Town Zoning Ordinance when combined with CAMA regulations. The Developed class refers to subdivided areas which have some urban services, such as water, roads, and utilities. Development in or along estuarine waters, estuarine shorelines and public trust waters shall be limited by Southern Shores' Zoning Ordinance in compliance with the Coastal Area Management Act and Corps of Engineer's regulations (Pg. 10). It is the policy of Southern Shores that shoreline erosion control projects be supported only where no significant adverse impacts will occur to shoreline dynamics and significant economic or recreational benefits accrue to the residents of the community.
