Dear Mr. Richardson:
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 16, 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 and materials list submitted on May 16, 2007, and
meets the conditions specified below. If your plans should change and your project will no
longer meet these conditions, please contact me before proceeding.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR — [G.S. 113-103(5)(13)(5) and 15A NCAC 7K.0103(a)] -
Maintenance and repairs (excluding replacement) necessary to repair damage to structures
caused by the elements are specifically excluded from the definition of development under
the conditions and in the circumstances set out in G.S. 113A-103(5)(b)(5). Individuals
required to take such measures within an AEC shall contact the local CAMA representative
for consultation and advice before beginning work.
Structures may be repaired in a similar manner, size and location as the original
structure. No expansions or additions are permissible. The repairs are limited to 50%
of the market value of the existing structure and the following specific conditions.
1. The project consists of the repair of an elevated wood deck (4 feet x 12 feet), as
shown on the attached drawing and materials list.
2. The proposed repairs shall be consistent with all other applicable local ordinances and
North Carolina Building Code standards.

This exemption to CAMA permit requirements does not alleviate the necessity of your
obtaining any other State, Federal or Local authorization and N.C. Building Permits. This
exemption expires 90 days from the date of the letter.
Sincerely,
hn Michael Morris, LPO
