OCEAN HAZARD AREA OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN
Dear Mr. Green:
I have reviewed the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning
the necessary filing of an application for a minor development permit under the
Coastal Area Management Act. After making a site inspection on April 9, 2015,1
have determined that the activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor
development permit as long as it remains consistent with your site drawing dated
April 10, 2015, and meet the conditions specified below. if you plans should
change and your project will no longer meet these conditions,. please contact me
before proceeding.
STRUCTURAL ACCESSWAY EXEMPTED
1. The accessway must not exceed six feet in width and shall provide only
pedestrian access to the ocean beach.
2. The accessway must be constructed so as to make negligible alterations
to the frontal dunes. This means that the accessway must be
constructed on raised posts or pilings of five feet or less in depth, so that
wherever possible only the posts or pilings touch the frontal dunes
without any alteration to the dunes. In no case shall the frontal dune be
altered so as to significantly diminish its capacity as a protective barrier
against flooding and erosion.
3. Construction of the accessway be shall consistent with all other
applicable local ordinances and N. C. Building Code standard

I
This exemption to CAMA permit requirements does not alleviate the necessity of
your obtaining any other State, Federal or Local authorization. This exemption
expires 90 days from the date of the letter.
Sincerely,
