Page 2 '
9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION 09/11/95
The project site is a 15,000 square foot residential lot in a commercial area. There is a duplex
and free standing garage on the property. The property is located behind a Domino's Pizza,
adjacent to the Carolina Beach Yacht Basin. There is a residence to the north, and a commercial
fish house to the south. There is a 64' x 6' pier on the property. The bottom in the basin is
primarily sand.
The Carolina Beach Land Use Plan classifies the area as Developed/Conservation. The waters
are classified SB by the Division of Environmental Management. The area is not a Primary
Nursery Area, and is closed to the taking of shellfish.
The proposal is to replace the failing bulkhead in place with a timber wall, and overhang the
wall with a 6' wide deck. Six mooring pilings are proposed for docking.
The existing bulkhead is breached to the point where mean high water comes approximately 4'
behind the wall, and is cutting under the escarpment. There is a fringe of wetlands orrichia
frutescens and Spartina atens approximately 8' wide along the water from the existing pier to
the north end of the lot. From the pier southward, the wetland fringe diminishes to
approximately 2' wide. These species are overhanging the escarpment and are being lost to tidal
action in large chunks. There are no wetlands on the basin side of the bulkhead. The applicant
proposes the, replacement of the bulkhead in its existing location, approximately 83' in length.
A 6' wide deck is proposed to parallel the bulkhead. Six mooring pilings are to be placed on
the north side of the pier. These pilings extend approximately 50' from the deck, and terminate
at the pier head line with approximately -8' mean low water. No waiver has been submitted
with the file, and the mooring pilings are proposed on the property line.
10. . ANTICIPATED Il"ACTS
The proposed bulkhead will cause the filling of approximately 468 s.L of wetlands, and 340 s. f.
of sandy bottom. Approximately 200 s.f. of adjacent high ground will be disturbed during
bulkhead installation. The deck and mooring pilings will incorporate approximately 1800 s.f.
of Public Trust Area, and will have the mooring potential for 6 vessels. No hazard to navigation
is present as the project terminates at the pier head line. Temporary turbidity increases can be
expected during construction.
