Re: Exempted Project (Minor) Dennis Evans 6004 Cassowary Dr. New Bern, NC
THIS PERMIT# 17956 IS VALID FOR 90 DAYS FROM ISSUANCE
Dear Mr. Foley:
We have received your proposal for development regulated by the Coastal Area Management
Act (CAMA). The activity you propose is exempt from needing a Minor Development Permit as
long as it meets the conditions specified below. If your plans should change and your project
will no longer meet these conditions, please contact me before proceeding.
Piers: (7K.0203) - A private, non-commercial pier may be constructed if it does not exceed 200'
in total length offshore; is not within 150' of a federally maintained channel; does not extend
beyond the 4' mean low water contour line or normal water level (whichever is applicable) of the
waterbody; does not exceed 6' in width; does not include an enclosed structure; and, does not
interfere with established navigation rights. The 4' mean low water restriction shall not apply to
piers constructed on man-made canals and basins, It may be built through wetland vegetation
only if elevated and may have a T-head or platform not exceeding 500 sq. ft. in area at its
waterward end if no wetland areas are covered. The pier must be set back a minimum of 15'
from adjacent property owner's area of rlparlan access unless waived by a wtltten agrc►c�rnelit.
Also, piers authorized by this exemption shall be for the exclusive use of the landowner, and
shall not provide either leased or rented docking space or any other cominerclal services. Friers
and mooring facilities designed to provide docking space for more than four(4) boats shall,
because of their greater potential for adverse Impacts, be reviewed through thn penrlitting
process, and are therefore, not authorized by this exemption. This exornption ahall not apply to
docks and piers being built within shellfish franchises or leases unless the applicant for
authorization to construct can provide written confirmation of no objections to the proposal from
the leasee.
Thank you for the statements from the riparian property owners Indicating that they have no
objections to the proposed construction. Please feel free to contact our office If we can be of
further assistance.
Sincerely,
Jonathan I_oeko
