Re: Application of Crosswinds, LLC for a CAMA Permit to Build a
Boardwalk to the Ocean, dated July 17, 2012
Dear Ms. Fiester:
I have been engaged by Gerald Cox, an oceanfront property owner
near the east end of Club Colony Drive in Atlantic Beach, to
review the above referenced application for compliance with
state law and local ordinance. Unfortunately, the application
is not complete and I, therefore, am not able to form an opinion
as to whether the proposed boardwalk is fully compliant -with law
and ordinance; therefore, on behalf of Mr. Cox, we object to
issuance of either a CAMA permit, a zoning permit, or building
permit for the construction of the proposed walkway.
The application is incomplete because itdoes not specify how
Crosswinds, LLC has title, and therefore, the legal right, to
build the ramp in the area proposed. There is a specific
reference on the application form in the "Statement of
Ownership" to a deed book and page number at the county register
of deeds office to be completed by the applicant, or an
explanation by attachment of a separate sheet, to describe
ownership/legal right. But these were left blank and therefore,
2
the application is incomplete and we cannot review the right of
the applicant to build the proposed walkway.
While we know that the county tax maps are not the final word on
either ownership of property or location of boundary lines, we
nonetheless use tax maps as a resource in determining these
things. When we reviewed the county tax map for the area in
question, we believe the proposed walkway is located on property
listed for ownership by the NC Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources. This raises the question of the
legal right of Crosswinds to build the walkway. It is certainly
possible that Crosswinds has a recorded easement over this
property to access the ocean; but if so, it would be an easy
matter for Crosswinds to reference the book and page number of
the easement on the application and/or to attach a copy of the
easement.
On a related note, I am curious about the location of the
proposed walkway as it relates to boundary lines. While I have
not reviewed the Atlantic Beach land use ordinances recently, it
is certainly possible that a boardwalk, being a structure, would
be subject to side setbacks. Therefore, the location of the
boardwalk relative to boundary lines is necessary for a
determination as to whether any setbacks are involved.
For these reasons, on behalf of Mr. Cox, we register an
objection. If the application is supplemented to provide the
information that currently seems to be missing, Mr. Cox will
certainly reexamine his position and concerns.
Sine y,

Dear Mr. Whitford:
This letter is in response to your correspondence on behalf of Gerald Cox, which was mailed to the Town of
Atlantic Beach on July 25, 2012 regarding your concerns about the proposed development by Crosswinds,
LLC, on the 20-foot wide easement located near the end of Club Colony Drive, in Atlantic Beach in Carteret
County. The information you requested on the easement was mailed to you on August 1, 2012. The
project consists of the construction of a handicap beach access ramp. The proposed project has been
determined to comply with Town of Atlantic Beach regulations and the Rules of the Coastal Resources
Commission, and as such, a permit has been issued to authorize the development. I have enclosed a copy
of the permit, as well as, the applicable rules.
If you wish to contest our decision to issue this permit, you may file a request for a Third Party Appeal. The
Chairman of the Coastal Resources Commission will consider each case and determine whether to grant
your request to file for a Contested Case Hearing. The hearing request must be filed with the Director,
Division of Coastal Management, in writing and must be received within twenty (20) days of the disputed
permit decision. I have enclosed the applicable forms and instructions that must be filed prior to that
deadline. Please contact me at (252) 726-4456, if you have any questions, or if I can provide any additional
information.
Respectfully yours,

Dear Mr. Barbee,
The N.C. Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application
from Crosswinds, LLC, for State approval for minor development of property located between
the terminus of Club Colony Drive and the property at 132 Island Quay Court (in the easement)
in Atlantic Beach in Carteret County. It was received complete on July 18, 2012 and appears to
be adequate for processing at this time. The deadline for making a permit decision is August 6,
2012.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location.of the
proposed development. You were given a "Notice of Permit Filling" postcard which must be
posted at the property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a
conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed from a public road. Some
examples would be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-
way fronting your property; or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would
lead one into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be notified.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely, .

AEC HAZARD NOTICE
Ocean Erodible Area High Hazard Flood Area Inlet Hazard Area
This notice is intended to make you, the applicant, aware of the
special risks and conditions associated with development in this
area, which is subject to natural hazards such as storms, erosion
and currents. The rules of the Coastal Resources Commission
require that you receive anAEC Hazard Notice and acknowledge
that notice in writing before a permit for development can be
issued.
The Commission's rules on building standards, oceanfront
setbacks and dune alterations are designed to minimize, but not
eliminate, property loss from hazards. By granting permits, the
Coastal Resources Commission does not guarantee the safety of
the development and assumes no liability for future damage to
the development. Permits issued in the Ocean Hazard Area of
Environmental Concern include the condition that structures be
relocated or dismantled if they become imminently threatened by
changes in shoreline configuration. The structure(s) must be
relocated or dismantled within two (2) years of becoming
imminently threatened, and in any case upon its collapse or
subsidence.
The best available information, as accepted by the Coastal
Resources Commission, indicates that the annual long-term
average ocean erosion rate for the area where your property is
located is Q_ feet per year.
The rate was established by careful analysis of aerial photographs
of the coastline taken over the past 50 years.
Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move as much as
(j0 - -feet landward in a major storm.
The ood waters in a major storm are predicted to be about
/sy feet deep in this area.
Preferred oceanfront protection measures are beach nourishment
and relocation of threatened structures. Hard erosion control
structures such as bulkheads, seawalls, revetments, groins, jetties
and breakwaters are prohibited. Temporary sand bags may be
authorized under certain conditions.
The applicant must acknowledge this information and requirements
by signing this notice in the space below. Without the proper
signature, the application will not be complete.
SPECIAL NOTE: This hazard notice is required for development
in areas subject to sudden and massive storms and erosion. Permits
issued for development in this area expire on December 31 of the
third year following the year in which the permit was issued.
Shortly before work begins on the project site, the Local Permit
Officer must be contacted to 4etermine the'vegetation line and
setback distance at your site. If the property has seen little change
since the time ofpermit issuance, and the proposed development
can still meet the setback requirement, the LPO will inform you
that you may begin work. Substantial progress on the project
must be made within 60 days of this setback determination, or
the setback must be remeasured. Also, the occurrence of a major
shoreline change as the result of a storm within the 60-day period
will necessitate remeasurement of the setback. It is important
that you check with the LPO before the permit expires for official
approval to continue the work after the permit has. expired.
Generally, if foundation pilings have been placed and substantial
progress is continuing, permit renewal can be authorized. It is
unlawful to continue work after permit expiration.
