US Army Corps of Engineers Brad Shaver
1. The jurisdictional determination expired in 2017 but based on site conditions the Corps would not
expect the line to have changed much if any since the issuance date.
2. The Corps is concerned about the development of Lots 2,3,7,8,9,and 11 as the development
footprint is pushed up against the mapped wetland line. Typically on lots of this size the buyers are
seeking yards and do not prefer those yards to be subject to seasonal wetness typically expected
in wetlands. The Corps could easily see indirect effects occurring if this plan were approved.
3. Since the development does not have any infrastructure impacts into Corps responsible resources,
the Corps would not likely be able to officially weigh on this concern since no permits would be
expected.
Planning (Addressing), Dylan MCdonnel 910-798-7223
1. Unduplicated road named needed. Will be reviewed and approved by Planning Dept.

Estates lots 128 - 131 (1, 3, 5 and 6 Millhouse Rd) and 4609 Parmele Rd. Please make a note on
the site plan if there are no septic systems and wells within 50 feet of the property borders. Please
