PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a 6' wide x 274' dock, 6' x 15' pier with 500 sq. ft. covered platform and 10 boat slips along the waterward side of the 274' long dock. Kellam-France, Inc. Bio Report Page Two Site Description Kellam-France, Incorporated owns a one-acre restaurant site located on the north side of US Highway 64/264, on the causeway at the west end of the Melvin Daniels Bridge in Nags Head, Dare County adjacent Roanoke Sound. The waters of the sound in the vicinity of this project are classified SA by the NC Division of Environmental Management and are closed to shellfishing. Since the 1950's this site has been operated as the Oasis Restaurant. In 1991, in accordance with Nags Head CAMA Minor Permit #91-009 the current owner installed a new septic system, redirected surface drainage away from the sound and replaced approximately 6,300 square feet of concrete with open faced paving blocks. The existing restaurant building, contains 115 customer seats, is served by 42 parking spaces and is located on a lot with an elevation of approximately 4.5' above NWL. The parcel fronts US 64/264 for a distance of 430 linear feet and runs along the shoreline of Roanoke Sound a distance of 485'. The shoreline is protected from erosion by concrete riprap ranging 6'-25' in width and averaging 15' in width. Along the entire shoreline riprap extends waterward of the NWL an average distance of 7'. Across the sound approximately 175' northwest of this site is the shoreline of Pond Island, Section III, a subdivision constructed in the 1960's of dredged-up material. The subdivision is now developed with single family residences. Water depths in the channel running between the two sites are approximately 4.0' at NWL as verified by soundings carried out on March 22, 1996. Proposed Development The applicant proposes to construct the following: • A 6' x 274' long dock approximately 7' beyond the NWL and parallel the shoreline. • Ten boat slips by placing 11 mooring piles 25' to 27' apart along the waterward side of the 274' long dock. • A 500 square foot octagonal-shaped platform with roof and open sides at the east end of the dock with a 53' long pier/walkway providing direct access from the restaurant building to the platform. Anticipated Impacts The construction of the dock, pier, and covered platform will result in the shading of 2,280 square feet of shallow water habitat and the coverage of 132 square feet of highground located within the Estuarine Shoreline. Approximately 2,000 square feet of Public Kellam-France, Inc. Bio Report Page Three Trust Waters will be captured by the construction of the shore parallel dock. No archeological/historical significance has been associated with this site. No unique remanent species or geological formations are know to exist within the project area. Submitted by: M.
