SUBJECT: Consistency Certification Submission Status for Proposed Impacts to Wetlands to
Facilitate the Construction of a Shopping Center, Surf City, Pender County
(DCM#20080097)
Dear Ms. Williams:
We received the consistency certification of the Land Management Group, Inc. on behalf of
Commercial Property Analysts, Inc. ("Applicant") on July 11, 2008 for proposed impacts to 8.65 acres
of wetlands to facilitate the construction of a 220,000 regional shopping center on a 50.58 acre site
southwest of the intersection of US 17 and SR 210 near Surf City in Peilder County, North Carolina.
The Division of Coastal Management (DCM) does not typically issue a consistency decision until the
Applicant has obtained all other required State permits and/or permissions and submitted copies of
them to DCM. Since the Applicant has yet to obtain these approvals, DCM will not be able to issue
either a letter of "concurrence" or "objection" by October 11, 2008.
Based on the requirements of 15 CFR 93 0.62, DCM has until January 11, 2009 to either concur or
object to the consistency certification unless an extension agreement is obtained. Upon the receipt of
the required State approvals, we will make every effort possible to complete our review before the
deadline. Thank you for your consideration of the North Carolina Coastal Management Program.
Sincerely,
Stephen Rynas, AICP
Federal Consistency Coordinator
