REFERENCE: Exempted Project (CAMA Project #71-97)
Exempted #2, 402B Shoreline Drive, Atlantic Beach, NC,
Dear Mr. McLawhom:
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: You propose to install a 8 x 5 pier at 402E
Shoreline Drive, Atlantic Beach, NC.
Private, non-commercial piers/boatlifts/mooring facilities 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/boatlifts/mooring facilities 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 square feet in area at its waterward end if no wetland
areas are covered. The pier/boatlift/mooring facilities 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 construction.
The pier/boatlift/mooring facilities 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 shellfish franchises or leases. Also,
piers/boatlifts/mooring facilities authorized by this exemption shall be for the exclusive use of
the landowners, and shall not provide either leased or rented docking space or any other
commercial services. Piers/boatlifts/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.
