Dear Mrs. Bullard:
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 May
23, 2007,1 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 May 23, 2007, and meet the conditions specified below. If your 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 standards.
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.
