Re: Objection to the Issuance of CAMA General Permit No. A-50519
for a Bulkhead Replacement Development Project, at 115 Tulls
Bay Drive, Currituck County For John J. Flora III
Dear Mr. Springle:
This letter is in response to the objection letter received from your attorney, M.H. Hood Ellis, on
your behalf as an adjacent riparian property owner to a permit request from John J. Flora III for
the replacement of a deteriorated bulkhead at 115 Tulls Bay Drive, Currituck County. Ron
Renaldi, of the Division of Coastal Management staff, was recently on site to evaluate the permit
applicant's request.
The permit applicant has requested a permit to construct a replacement bulkhead. Under the
Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA), the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) has
established Rules for General Permits for this type of development that are found in 15A NCAC
07H .1100.
You have notified the Division of Coastal Management of your objections to this proposed
development by a letter dated September 7, 2007. Your objections to this proposed development
related to the dispute over the common property line between your and Mr. Flora's properties.
The Division has reviewed your objections, along with all aspects of this development proposal
for consistency with the aforementioned Rules, which describe the CRC's standards and
guidelines for this type of development. Our review of the proposed development has found it to
be consistent with these Rules.
Because of this property line dispute, Mr. Flora has indicated that he will stop the bulkhead one
foot short of the disputed property line keeping the project solely on his undisputed land.
When issued, the General Permit will allow Mr. Flora 120 days to complete his project. When
the project is completed, a compliance check will be performed to insure that the project is
consistent with the issued permit and the rules found in 15A NCAC 07H .1100.
After having given careful consideration to your objections to this proposed development, we
have determined that it is consistent with the Rules of the CRC and the State's Coastal

Management Program, and that all pre -requisites have been satisfied. Therefore, the Division of
Coastal Management issued General Permit No. A50519 on July 8, 2008 (copy attached) for the
proposed development.
If you wish to appeal this permit decision, you must file a Third Party Hearing Request form
with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management within 20 days of the permit issuance
date. I am enclosing the form to be completed if you wish to do so.
Please note the three factors listed on this form, which need to be specifically addressed with
additional attachments. This documentation must be sent to:
Director
Division of Coastal Management

A copy of this documentation must be sent to:
Attorney General's Office
Environmental Division

If the Chairman of the Coastal Resources Commission grants a hearing of your appeal, you then
must file a petition for a Contested Case Hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings
within 20 days of the Chairman's decision. This office can assist you with the forms and
addresses associated with this portion of the process. If the Chairman denies your hearing
request, this decision can be appealed to the Superior Court in the county where the property is
located.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Ron
Renaldi, or me, at this office.
Sincerely,

We represent Mr. and Mrs William Earl Springle in the boundary line proceeding
referenced in Mr. Flora's application for a CAMA permit to construct a new bulkhead, pier
and related appurtenances at 115 Tulls Bay Drive, Moyock, N.C. Enclosed you will find the
Springes' signed form regarding the above project which we submit within the ten days
provided. The Springles own the adjacent property on the west.
The Springles object to the project described in the correspondence provided. While
the sketches and illustrations of the project are difficult to follow and do not appear to scale,
the basis for this objection is the pending boundary line case which will establish where the
common line is between the Springle and the Flora property. While the correspondence
regarding the project indicates Mr. Flora's intention to stay one foot short of the disputed
area in the proceeding, past history shows that any activity in close proximity to the disputed
area has produced serious problems and it is simply unlikely that history will be proven
different as to this project.
For your information, we are enclosing a copy of the Petition and the Response filed
in the boundary proceeding. We also enclose copies of the deeds and plats referenced in the
pleadings. Based on our review of Mr. Flora's own survey, the boundary contended by Mr.
Flora in the court proceeding does not appear in his survey or in his deed, but is apparently
claimed by adverse possession. It is the Springles' fear that issuance of a CAMA permit for
the project will only serve as further authorization for Mr. Flora to attempt to go upon and
September 7, 2007

claim the disputed area by adverse possession. They prefer that the parties maintain the
status quo until the boundary proceeding is resolved.
If the Division feels constrained to issue a CAMA permit at this time then we
encourage a substantial buffer, not one foot, between the Springle and Flora properties until
the boundary proceeding is resolved. Before any such permit is issued, there should be a
survey so identifying the disputed area with certainty and a defined buffer line located
therefrom approved by the Springles. Also, be aware of the Springle's intent to insure the
Division enforces the terms of the Permit particularly if Mr. Flora or his contractors go upon
or do anything upon the Springles' property (including their bulkhead) which includes the
area in dispute as reflected on the Springle and Flora surveys enclosed.
Thank you for your consideration. Advise if further information is needed. I am
Sincerely yours,
C�
