Dear Kimberly:
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 18, 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 18, 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.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR — [15A NCAC 7K.0209(c)] — Any structure, or part thereof, consistent with current
CRC rules may be maintained, repaired or replaced in a similar manner, size and location as the existing structure
without requiring a permit, unless the repair or replacement would be in violation of the criteria set out below. This
exemption applies to those projects that are not within the exclusion for maintenance and repairs set out in G.S.
11 3A-1 03(5)b.5., Rule .0103 of this Subchapter and rule 07J .0210.
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 development must not disturb a land area of greater than 200 square feet on a slope of greater than 10
percent;
2. The development must not involve removal, damage, or destruction of threatened or endangered animal or
plant species;
3. The development must not alter naturally or artificially created surface drainage channels;
4. The development must not alter the land form or vegetation of a frontal dune;
5. The development must not be within 30 feet of normal high water level; and;

6. Development must be consistent with all applicable use standards and local land use plans in effect and the
time the exemption is granted.
Structures may be repaired in a similar manner, size and location as the original structure. No expansions or
additions are permissible and the following specific conditions apply:
1. The project consists of the repair of the existing wooden deck and change of section of the deck into a ramp
within the same footprint, 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,
Michelle Shreve, LPO
