Fisher 3800 Pleasant Valley Road Raleigh, NC 27612 REFERENCE: Exempted Project (Minor 48-89) Exemption #2, 112 Sound Drive Dear Mr. Fisher: We have reviewed the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning the necessity of filing an application for a minor development permit under the Coastal Area Management Act. 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 those conditions, please contact me before proceeding. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY AND CONDITIONS: According to your contractor, you propose to extend the existing 192 sq. ft. T-head by approximately 308 sq. ft. for a total square footage of no more than 500 sq. ft. A private, non-commercial pier may be constructed ifit 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 the adjacent property owner's area of riparian access unless waived by a written agreement. Confirmation must also be given that written statements have been obtained from adjacent riparian property owners indicating that they have no objections to the proposed pier. The pier shall not extend beyond the established pier length along the same shoreline for similar use, and in no case, extend more than one- third (1/3) of the width of the waterbody and shall not interfere with Mr. W. T. Fisher Page 2 August'7, 1989 shellfish franchises or leases. 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 commercial services. Piers 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 the permitting process, and are, -therefore, not authorized by this exemption. Sincerely, �. LLdGLI� Joy C. Sass e Local CANA Officer for Town of Atlantic Beach 919/726-8380 cc: David Nobles Elton Ellis Sw,t'ce BY t%4n y Ch.,A eS G,r"r, }-
