Easley, Governor Charles S. Jones, Director William G. Ross Jr., Secretary April 14, 2004 Ms. Carmen D. Yarbrough 8500 Woodman Road Richmond, Va. 23228 Re: Objection to the Issuance of CAMA General Permit No. 36593-A for Pine Island Property Owners Association's Dune Restoration Project, Pine Island, Currituck County Dear Ms. Yarbrough: This letter is in response to your objection as an adjacent riparian property owner to a permit request from Mr. Hal Goodman, an agent for Pine Island Property Owners Association, for the restoration of the dunes in the Pine Island Subdivision, in Currituck County. Mr. Dennis Hawthorn, 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 restore the dunes of this subdivision by the placement of hauled -in compatible sand landward of the crest of the dune, the sprigging of this area with beach grass vegetation, and the placement of sand fencing on the east side of the dune. Under the Coastal Area Management Area (CAMA), the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) established a temporary emergency Rule for a General Permit to be activated subsequent to hurricane events, and this is found in 15A NCAC 7H .2500. This General Permit authorizes the issuance of major permits for the reconstruction of primary and frontal dunes, and incorporates the existing use standards and regulations applicable for this type of development. These incorporated Rules are found in 15A NCAC 07H .0306, .0308, .0309 and .0311. You have notified the Division of Coastal Management of your objections to this proposed development by emails and telephone calls. Your objections to this proposed development related to the lack of need for additional restoration of these dunes, and the lack of authority of the Pine Island Homeowners Association to undertake development on the private property of subdivision homeowners. Dennis Hawthorn and I have 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. 1367 U.S. 17 South, Elizabeth City, North Carolina 27909 Phone: 252-264-3901 \ FAX: 252-264-3723 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer — 30% Recycled by Fiber Weight Carmen D. Yarbrough April 14, 2004 Page 2 We found that that the dune remaining after Hurricane Isabel was significantly narrowed, and that within the area of proposed development additional sand on the landward side of the dune should restore some of the protective value of this dune system. In evaluating the permit request, we asked the Association to provide us with any documentation that they felt could establish their authority to undertake the proposed development on behalf of the private property owners. The Association provided copies of the relevant By-laws, Covenants and Minutes of Property Owners' Association meetings to substantiate the legitimacy of their permit application. While you have contested the legitimacy of these claims, within North Carolina the determination of issues of title and ownership are reserved for the judiciary. The Association has provided sufficient information to justify that they may pursue the issuance of this permit, and your recourse on this issue must be through the courts system. As a part of the evaluation of this permit request, it was determined that the size of the project triggered requirements of the Division of Water Quality related to Storm Water. Plans, and the requirements of the Division of Land Quality related to a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. With regard to the former, the applicants have been required to attest that none of the development will result in any alteration to the original CAMA development and Stormwater permits. With regard to the latter, the permit has been conditioned to not take effect until such time as a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan is approved by the Division of Land Quality. As such no development can commence immediately. After having given careful consideration 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. 36593-A on April 13, 2004, (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. Since you have indicated that you intend to appeal this decision, I am enclosing the form to be completed. Please note the three factors listed on this form, which need to be specifically addressed with additional attachments. This documentation must be served on: Director, Division of Coastal Management 1638 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1638 A copy of this documentation needs to be sent to: Attorney General's Office Environmental Division P.O. Box 629 Raleigh, NC 27602-0629 Carmen D. Yarbrough April 14, 2004 Page 3 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. I am enclosing a copy of this form as well. This office can assist you with the points of contact 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 Currituck County. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Dennis Hawthorn, or me, at this office.
