RE: EXEMPTED PROJECT —STRUCTURAL BEACH ACCESSWAY (15A NCAC 7K .0207)
PROJECT ADDRESS — 801 Ocean Ridge Drive
AREA OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN — Ocean Erodible
Dear Edmund:
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 9, 2016,1 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 3, 2016, 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.
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 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.
