Re: Objection to the Issuance of CAMA General Permit No. 36574-A
Cutty Sark Development and Wallace Beckham, Avon Village, Dare Co.
Dear Mr. Olander:
This letter is in response to your objection as an adjacent riparian property owner to a
permit request from Mr. Gary Sisler, an agent for the Cutty Sark bulkhead project in Avon, Dare
County. This project involves the construction of a bulkhead along the shoreline of their
property along a man-made canal that connects to the Pamlico Sound. Dennis Hawthorn, of the
Division of Coastal Management staff, was recently onsite to evaluate the property owners'
request.
The property owners have requested a permit to stabilize 500 linear feet of the canal bank
at this time. Under the Coastal Area Management Area (CAMA), the Coastal Resources
Commission (CRC) has established Rules, referenced in 15A of the North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC), Subchapter Section 07H .1100, for General Permits for this type
of development. An approved bulkhead alignment has been staked landward of all vegetated
wetlands. Mr. Hawthorn noted that approximately 200 linear feet of shoreline near the rear of
the existing dwelling on -site is vegetated in a narrow fringe of coastal wetlands grasses. The
permit for the bulkhead alignment does not allow for any stabilization waterward of this fringe,
nor the filling of any vegetated wetlands. The property owners proposed development is
consistent with the Rules of the CRC for shoreline stabilization with a bulkhead alignment.
In that the total length of shoreline that the owners want to stabilize exceeds the 500 feet
limit of the General Permit rules, they plan to request a modification to their existing CAMA
Major Permit to authorize an additional 400 plus feet of shoreline stabilization. This portion of
the shoreline stabilization project may involve a wetland fringe, and the impacts of this
continued development proposal will be considered as part of their Major Permit modification
request.

You have indicated on a returned adjacent riparian notification form that you object to the
property owners' request to bulkhead their property to stabilize the shoreline and reduce bank
erosion, but have not indicated any specifics as a basis for your objection. It is my understanding
that you and Mr. Hawthorn spoke on March 24, 2004, concerning your objections, and that this
dealt with the filling of a wetland fringe along the far northern corner of the permit applicants'
property. As referenced above, the current proposal will not involve the filling of any wetlands.
In this regard, Mr. Hawthorn has reviewed all aspects of this current proposal for consistency
with 15A NCAC, Section 07H.1100, which describes the standards and guidelines for the
construction of the requested bulkhead. Our review of the proposed development has found it to
be consistent with NCAC Subchapter Sections 07H .1100.
After having given your objections to this proposal careful consideration, we have
determined that the proposed project is consistent with the appropriate rules and regulations and
that all pre -requisite requirements have been satisfied. In this regard, the Division of Coastal
Management issued General Permit # 36574-A for the proposed development on March 19, 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. If you choose to pursue an appeal, please contact this office so that we can
provide you with the appropriate forms and addresses. If you have any further questions
regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Dennis Hawthorn or me at this office.
Sincerely,
