Easley, Governor Charles S. Jones, Director William G. Ross Jr., Secretary March 9, 2006 Mr. Roger Jacquelin 406 Chaptico Road South Hill, VA 23970 Re: Objection to the Issuance of CAMA General Permit No. 43056-A Development Project, Location, Dare County Dear Mr. Jacquelin: This letter is in response to your objection as an adjacent riparian property owner to a permit request from Dennis Hawthorn, an agent for Bill and Kim Lane for the installation of a dock, gazebo, and boatlifts at 1340 Duck Road in Dare County. Mr. John Cece, 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 install: • A pier 200 feet long and 6 feet wide, • A 100 square foot platform/gazebo, • A boat lift encompassing 260 square feet, and • A second boatlift encompassing 60 square feet. 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 .1200, titled "General Permit for Construction of Piers, Docks, and Boat Houses in Estuarine and Public Trust Waters and Ocean Hazard Areas." You have notified the Division of Coastal Management of your objections to this proposed development by responding negatively to the adjacent riparian notification letter sent by Dennis Hawthorn of Coastal Area Permit Assistance. Your objections to this proposed development related to the aesthetics of the environment and boat/navigation safety. Mr. Cece 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. Section 07H.1205(g) of the Division of Coastal Management's rules states that platforms (which includes gazebos) "shall not exceed more than 4 square feet per linear foot of shoreline." One of the reasons this restriction has been established is to limit the aesthetic affects of platforms and gazebos. Because the Lane's property has a shoreline length of 100 feet, they are permitted to 1367 U.S. 17 South, Elizabeth City, North Carolina 27909 Phone: 252-264-3901 1 FAX: 252-264-37231 Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer - 30% Recycled by Fiber Weight Mr. Roger Jacquelin March 9, 2006 Page 2 install a platform/gazebo up to 400 square feet in size (4 x 100 = 400), the maximum size allowed by the regulation. The sketch submitted with the riparian notification form depicts a platform/gazebo approximately 325 square feet in size. Therefore, the proposed structure can be permitted. Section 07H.1205(1) limits the height of the proposed gazebo to a single story. The gazebo will be roofed, but it cannot be designed to allow for second story use. Section 1205(b) of this same rule states "piers, docks, and boat houses shall not extend beyond the established pier length along the same shoreline for similar use." The purpose of this particular restriction is to prevent unreasonable hazards to navigation. Mr. Cece has examined piers located near the Lane's property and has identified a pier located approximately one-half mile south that is 150 feet long with a 15-foot platform. Therefore, the Lane's pier will be limited to a length of 150 feet with a 15-foot platform.. Finally, Section 07H.1205(k) states that "the area enclosed by a boat lift shall not exceed 400 square feet." Both of the proposed boatlifts meet this requirement, therefore these structures can also be permitted. 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. 43056-A on March 9, 2006 (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 Mr. Cece, or me, at this office.
