Mr. and Mrs. Looney arc the fee simple owners of Lot 9 in the Intracoastal Watch subdivision, and are adjacent riparian property owners to Lot 10 owned by Arthur J. Frankel. The purpose of this correspondence is to formally object in writing to the issuance of the above-referenced CAMA permit to Dr.Frankel. While Lot 10 in Intracoastal Watch is owned by Dr, Frankel,the community pier is owned by the Intracoastal Watch HOA. The landward portion of the pier is constructed on a private access casement located on Dr. Frankel's property. At present,the pier is located on the northern edge of the casement. Dr. Frankel has applied for a CAMA permit to relocate a portion of the pier to the southern edge of the easement. The permit initially was issued by you on October 26, 2004, and requires that all activities under the permit comply with the provisions of 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2000. Thereafter, I informed you that my clients, adjacent riparian property owners, had not received the notice and opportunity to comment as required by 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2002. After confirming this, you suspended the permit until such time as the proper notice was provided. My clients received the appropriate notification by certified mail on November 3,2004. An executed copy of my clients'Notification/Waiver Form is attached hereto for your file.

(FAX)910 7721723 P. 003/0 Robb Mairs November 12,2004 Page 2 First, you have indicated to me that there has been no formal determination of the normal high water line in this area. Without a determination of the normal high water line, it is impossible to determine whether the relocated portion of the pier will meet the required setback of fifteen (15) feet from my clients' "property lines extended into the water at the points that they intersect the shoreline." As noted on the enclosed form,my clients do not waive this setback requirement. As you arc aware, the riparian corridors in this area have been the subject of much dispute, as evidenced by the Gray appeal. During the investigation of the Gray permit application, DCM was notified that the Intracoastal Watch community pier was not constructed as depicted on the initial application by Daclar, Inc., the developer of the subdivision, Moreover, in a memo dated March 20, 2000, Jim Gregson indicated that if the owner of Lot 9 desired to build an individual private pier, the existing community pier would encroach into the area of riparian access for that properly. [As the community pier was permitted prior to the subdivision of the waterfront lots in Intracoastal Watch, there is no issue as to any waiver of riparian rights for individual properties in the development.] My review of the file found no riparian corridor surveys of the individual lots in the subdivision. I believe it is incumbent upon your office to ensure that the proposed relocation will not interfere with my clients' riparian corridor prior to issuance of the proposed permit. To this end, I request that you make a formal determination of the normal high water line, so that it can be determined if any part of the proposed relocation is below the normal high water line and, if so, meets the applicable riparian setback requirement. Given the unusual circumstances of this shoreline, I believe it would be erroneous for your office to issue the permit to Dr. Frankel without making this threshold determination. Second, 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2005(a)requires that all proposed modifications be carried out within the "existing footprint of the development." Without question, the relocated portion of the pier will not have the same footprint as the original development. Moreover,there is no indication on either the permit or the diagram submitted by the applicant demonstrating that the modified area will be located in the"existing footprint"as defined by the regulation. In fact, neither the permit nor the drawing indicate precisely how far to the south the pier is to be moved(there is a notation on the applicant's drawing asking"What is this distance?). Furthermore, the provisions of 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2004(1) require that "[d]evelopment carried out under this permit must be consistent with all local requirements, AEC rules, and local land use plans current at the time of authorization.

BACKGROUND Petitioners Mark and Elisabeth Looney request permission to file a petition for contested case hearing as a third party pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b). Petitioner seeks to challenge CAMA General Permit No. 38466 issued to Arthur Frankel authorizing minor modification of an existing community access pier adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway in Wilmington, New Hanover County. Under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA), a third party may file a contested case hearing petition to challenge the issuance or denial of a CAMA permit to someone else only if the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) first determines that a contested case hearing is appropriate. Section 113A-121.1(b) of the North Carolina General Statutes provides that the determination as to whether a hearing is appropriate should be based upon a consideration of whether the petitioner: 1. Has alleged that the decision is contrary to a statute or rule; The CRC has delegated the authority to its Chairman to determine whether a third party request for a hearing should be granted or denied. Rule 15A NCAC 7J .0301(b). A third party whose hearing request is granted may file a contested case hearing petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) within 20 days after the Commission makes its determination. N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b). A third party whose hearing request is denied may seek judicial review. Id. II. FACTS 1. Petitioners Mark and Elisabeth Looney are the owners of Lot 9 in the Intracoastal Watch subdivision in Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina. 2. Intracoastal Watch is located adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway(AIWW) near Myrtle Grove Sound. 3. The permittee in this case is Arthur Frankel. Dr. Frankel is the owner of Lot 10 adjacent to Petitioners. 4. There is an existing residence on the Petitioners' lot. Dr. Frankel is in the process of constructing a residence on his lot. 5. There is a 10-slip community pier for the residents of Intracoastal Watch located within a private access easement across Dr. Frankel's property. 6. Dr. Frankel applied for and received a CAMA General Permit (No. 38466) to modify the upland portion of the community pier ("access pier"). No part of the actual community docking facility will be altered because there will be no modifications of the flier ctn,rt,,, authorized to move the pier 15 feet to the south toward the Petitioners' property. It would still be located within the existing private access easement. 8. Petitioners filed this third party hearing request on January 20, 2005. Their hearing request materials were previously sent to the Chairman and are incorporated by reference. III. DCM'S RECOMMENDATIONS A. Has the Petitioner Alleged that the Decision is Contrary to a Statute or Rule? Yes. In order to prevail in a third party hearing request, a petitioner must first allege that the agency made a decision that is contrary to statute or rule. N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(1). In this case, Petitioner alleges that the decision is contrary to certain conditions required in 15A NCAC 7H .2000, the general permit for minor modifications of docks and piers. Although Petitioners cite to certain rules, they have not made specific factual allegations or legal arguments that demonstrate such provisions have been violated. B. Is the Petitioner Directly Affected by the Decision? Yes. Petitioners own property adjacent to the property to be developed. For purposes of this third party hearing request only, Staff does not contest that Petitioners are directly affected by the decision as required by N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(2). C. Has the Petitioner Demonstrated that the Hearing Request is not Frivolous? No. Petitioners have not demonstrated that the hearing request is not frivolous. N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(3). Petitioners raise the following issues: (1) that the modified pier is not within the "existing footprint"; (2) that the modified pier will be lengthened. (11 that the , depth review, as discussed below. Petitioners have challenged a General Permit authorized under Section 15A NCAC 7H .2000 which is titled "General Permit for Authorizing Minor Modifications and Repair to Existing Pier/Mooring Facilities in Estuarine and Public Trust Waters and Ocean Hazard Areas." The purpose of this general permit is to allow for"reconfiguration, minor modifications, repair and improvements to existing pier and mooring facilities[.]" 15A NCAC 7H .2001. See general permit rules, Exhibit 1. By definition, development under this part is deemed to be of minimal impact and can be approved under expedited procedures. Footprint Petitioners first allege that the pier modification violates the "Specific Condition" in 7H .2005 requiring that "All proposed development must be carried out within the existing footprint of the development with no increase in the number of slips nor any change in the existing use." This contention misconstrues the requirement. "Existing footprint" is defined as "the area delineated by the outer most line of tie pilings, ends of piers, and upland basin or area within an enclosing breakwater, whichever is greater." The primary purpose of this rule, like most of the pier rules, is to limit impacts to navigation in public trust waters. If an applicant carries out work within the existing footprint, presumably there will be no new impacts on the established riparian corridors or navigation in general. In this case, the minor modification of the pier is above the normal high water line. Logically, there are no legitimate concerns regarding navigation for this development upland development are the same under the minor permit and the general permit. Consequently, a minor permit could have been issued for this development instead. Length Petitioners next argue that the modification will add length to the structure. This argument raises no justiciable issue. First, the general permit requirements do not address this issue. The only applicable limitations are that there can be no new slips, nor a change in existing use. Second, the CRC's rules in general do not limit the length of access piers. Similar to setbacks, pier length is only a concern within public trust waters because length may impact navigation. In the upland area, pier length is not limited. Even if there is some additional decking associated with the pier's modification, it is primarily cosmetic and minimal in size and impact. Trees Petitioners' argument that the modified pier will require destruction of hardwood trees raises no issue of relevance under the CRC's rules. There are young trees in the area in question. While DCM Staff would prefer such trees be replanted or avoided, there is no rule prohibiting the cutting or removal of upland vegetation. Local Requirements Lastly, Petitioners argue that the proposed modification violates the "General Condition" in 7H .2004(f) requiring that "development under this permit must be consistent with all local requirements, AEC rules, and local land use plans current at the time of authorization_" The only basis on which DCM can determine if a proposed development is consistent with local requirements is by asking the local government authority. In this case, that is precisely what DCM did. In response to DCM's inquiry, the Director of Planning for New Hanover County specifically indicated that "the proposed relocation within the existing easement is consistent with the County requirements and previous approval." Any changes to the easement location, the County indicated, would require approval of a revised subdivision map. If Petitioners disagree with County's determination, the appropriate relief will have to be sought in another forum. Such issues cannot be adjudicated in the Office of Administrative Hearings. In conclusion, it appears that Petitioners' primary concern is that the community access pier is being moved closer to Petitioners' residence. It is clear that the HOA authorized Dr. Frankel to seek this modification. Petitioners' cause of action, if any, is against the HOA. The rules and standards of the CRC have not been violated. Petitioners have not made sufficient allegations to show that the project violates any development standards and therefore has failed to demonstrate that the request is not frivolous as required by N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(3). IV. CONCLUSION In conclusion, Petitioners did not meet the criteria justifying a contested case hearing. For the reasons stated herein, the Division of Coastal Management, through its undersigned attorney, recommends that the Petitioner's Third Party Hearing Request be DENIED by the Chairman.

Wes Hodges II on behalf of Mark and Elisabeth Looney. The Looneys challenge a CAMA General Permit (No. 38466-D) issued to Dr. Arthur Frankel. The permit authorizes relocation of an existing access walkway to a private community pier in the Intracoastal Watch subdivision in Wilmington, NC. Primarily, petitioners claim that the new configuration is not within the "existing footprint" as required by the general permit under which it was authorized. Petitioners also argue that the relocated pier is inconsistent with the special use permit issued by New Hanover County for the initial pier construction, and that the Intracoastal Watch HOA is not authorized to allow Dr. Frankel to change the pier which is used by the whole subdivision.

The Petitioners are the fee simple owners of Lot 9 in the Intracoastal Watch subdivision, and are adjacent riparian property owners to Lot 10 owned by Arthur J. Frankel. Dr. Frankel has applied for and received a CAMA General Permit to modify the existing community pier for Intracoastal Watch. While Lot 10 is owned by Dr. Frankel, the community pier is owned by the Intracoastal Watch HOA. The landward portion of the pier is constructed on a private access easement located on Dr. Frankel's property. At present, the pier is located on the northern edge of the easement. The community pier was situated in its present location at the time both the Petitioners and the Applicant purchased their respective lots in Intracoastal Watch. Dr. Frankel has applied for a CAMA permit to relocate a portion of the pier to the southern edge of the easement and otherwise reconfigure the pier. The DCM originally issued Permit No. 38466-D to Dr. Frankel on October 26, 2004, which Permit required that all activities under the Permit comply with the provisions of 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2000. Thereafter, the undersigned notified DCM that the Petitioners, adjacent riparian property owners, had not received the notice and opportunity to comment as required by 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2002. After confirmation of this lack of notice, DCM suspended the Permit until such time as proper notice was provided. The Petitioners received appropriate notification by certified mail on November 3, 2004. The Petitioners timely submitted written objections to the proposed Permit on November 12, 2004. On January 13, 2005, DCM unsuspended CAMA Permit No. 38466-D. Attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is a copy of the diagram submitted by the Applicant in support of the CAMA permit application. Attached hereto as Exhibit"B"is a copy of CAMA General Permit No. 38466-D. Attached hereto as Exhibit "C" is a copy of a letter dated January 13, 2005, from Jim Gregson, District Manager, to the Applicant, Arthur Frankel, giving notice of the intent to unsuspend Permit No. 38466-D. Attached hereto as Exhibit "D" are photographs of the Intracoastal Watch community pier and dock and the surrounding area. Attached hereto as Exhibit"E" is a copy of the Order Granting Special Use Permit for the construction of a community boating facility at the Intracoastal Watch subdivision. a. 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2005(a) — Specific Conditions. Subsection (a) requires that "Tn 111 nrnnncoi7 I,, ,.,.. ] ..s..._.0 47_- -• 4-• - r . 2 structure, as it will require the construction of a new segment of walkway running parallel to the common driveway and perpendicular to the boundaries of the access easement. Furthermore, the diagonal run of the modified pier and dock from the marsh line to the waterline will add length to the total structure. Finally, the proposed new location of the modified pier will necessitate the destruction of numerous hardwood trees that are located adjacent to the existing community pier. Without question, the relocated and reconfigured portion of the community pier will not have the same footprint as the original development. There is no indication on either the Permit (Exhibit "B") or the diagram submitted by the Applicant (Exhibit "A") demonstrating that the modified area will be located in the "existing footprint" as defined by the regulation. This is because the relocated and reconfigured portion of the community pier most certainly will not be located in the "existing footprint" of the original development, as required by 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2005(a). The purpose of Section .2000 is to allow for minor changes and repairs to existing structures that does not expand or alter the existing footprint of the development. The proposed relocation and reconfiguration of the community pier will relocate the pier outside of the existing footprint of the development, will increase the overall length of the structure, will necessitate the destruction of protected hardwood species and marsh grass, and will have the ultimate effect of transforming an aesthetically pleasing structure into a zigzagging monstrosity that benefits nobody but Dr. Frankel —who has no greater rights with respect to the community pier than the Petitioners and any other property owner in Intracoastal Watch. The Petitioners are in the process of preparing a civil action to challenge the authority of the Intracoastal Watch HOA to allow the Applicant to change the configuration and location of the community pier, as that decision is not in the best interests of the members of the Association as a whole. The Petitioners will amend this Request to include copies of pertinent court filings regarding the proposed relocation of the Intracoastal Watch community pier. (b) 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2004(f) — General Condition. Subsection (f) requires that all "[d]evelopment carried out under this permit must be consistent with all local requirements, AEC rules, and local land use plans current at the time of authorization." (emphasis added) The Order Granting A Special Use Permit for construction of the Intracoastal Watch community pier approved the project based on a conclusion by the New Hanover County Commissioners that "the location and character"of the pier"as submitted and approved" conformed with the plan of development for New Hanover County. (Exhibit "E") (emphasis added) No amendments or modifications were made to the Special Use Permit that would allow the location and character of the pier to be changed from what was submitted and approved by the County. The letter from Jim Gregson to Dr. Frankel purporting to unsuspend CAMA Permit No. 38466-D states that DCM "has also received information from the New Hanover County Planning Department, that relocation of the pier access walkway within the easement on the aforementioned property, would be consistent with the special use permit issued by New Hanover County for the Intracoastal Watch community pier. However, any modifications to the easement location will require the anrnrnva1 of o ravianll „1. 1:.,, W _ " m__i_•, «..,,, .. 3 whether the location of the easement played any part in the County's decision to grant a Special Use Permit to the developer of Intracoastal Watch. This hearsay statement from some member of the New Hanover County Planning Department is not sufficient to satisfy this issue, especially where the New Hanover County Commissioners — not the Planning Department — granted the Special Use Permit in question. On its face, the proposed modification and reconfiguration of the community pier violates the express language of the Order Granting Special Use Permit. A Third Party Hearing is necessary to more fully explore the issue of whether the modifications and relocations approved under Permit No. 38466-D are consistent with all local requirements and land use plans — specifically, the Special Use Permit authorizing the construction of the Intracoastal Watch community pier in a specific configuration and location. In conclusion, the Petitioners contend that the proposed relocation and reconfiguration of the Intracoastal Watch community pier exceeds the permissible scope of 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2000 et seq. Furthermore, the Petitioners' allegations, as stated herein, are relevant to the potential impacts of the proposed project, and the permitting issues raised by these allegations are worthy of more detailed review, such that the Applicant should be required to submit an application for a major development permit, as set forth in 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2002(2)(C). (2) The Petitioners are directly affected by the decision. The Petitioners are adjacent property owners to the Applicant and, along with all property owners in Intracoastal Watch, have a beneficial interest in the private access easement over Lot 10 and the community pier and dock. When the Petitioners purchased Lot 9, the developer of the Intracoastal Watch subdivision had already obtained a Special Use Permit and CAMA permit, and had built the community pier and dock in a specific location and configuration approved by DCM and New Hanover County. The community pier was also constructed when the Applicant purchased Lot 10. Consequently, both the Petitioners and the Applicant purchased their Lots with full knowledge of the location of the private access easement and community dock. The Petitioners also purchased their property with the knowledge that the common elements of the subdivision, including the community pier, could only be modified for the benefit of the property owners as a whole. The proposed relocation and reconfiguration of the community pier benefits only the Applicant by providing him with more room for his yard (Exhibit "D"). While all of the property owners of Intracoastal Watch are negatively affected by the unsightly and unnecessary relocation/reconfiguration of the community pier, the Petitioners will suffer the most. Under the CAMA Permit, the community pier will be moved approximately 15 feet closer to the property of the Petitioners, leaving the pier only a few feet from the Petitioners' house. The Petitioners made a significant financial investment when they purchased their property, and this investment was based in part upon the pre-existing location of the community pier. This investment will be diminished if the pier is reconfigured and relocated to twist and turn and run only a few feet from their home — which will require the unnecessary destruction of more marsh grass and protected harriurnnri cTar;ao 'Tin. A .. 4-L_ ..at.__L_ I-----I . I • .. . . - - 4 protection of the vegetation growing within the easement. Because of these environmental and economic factors, the Petitioners are directly affected by the DCM's decision to unsuspend the Applicant's CAMA Permit and allow this unnecessary relocation and configuration that benefits only one member of the Intracoastal Watch HOA. (3) The Petitioners have alleged facts and/or made legal arguments that demonstrate that this request for a hearing is not frivolous. Based upon the foregoing, including the Exhibits attached hereto, there is substantial and material evidence demonstrating that the Applicant's proposed project does not meet the spirit or letter of 15A N.C.A.C. 7H .2000 et seq. Consequently,DCM violated these standards by issuing the Applicant's CAMA Permit. The Petitioners strongly believe that the Applicant's Permit was issued in error, and that a Third Party Hearing is necessary to more fully develop and explore these issues, to ensure that the management objectives and specific requirements of CAMA are being served by the issuance of CAMA Permit No. 38466-D. The Petitioners reserve the right to amend this Third Party Hearing Request on CAMA Permit Decision. This the 19th day of January, 2005. C. WES HODGES, II,P.L.L.C. 7) C.

(as per New Hanover County Tax Office), in Wilmington, New Hanover County. Based upon information brought to the attention of the Division of Coastal Management, it appears that an adjacent riparian property owner notification was properly submitted to the owner of Lot#9 of Intracoastal Watch, adjacent to the property aforementioned. The Division of Coastal Management has also received information from th New Hanover County Planning Department, that relocation of the pier access walkway within the easement on the aforementioned property, would be consistent with the special use permit issued by New Hanover County for the Intracoastal Watch community pier. However, any modification to the easement location will require the approval of revised subdivision map. Under these circumstances, the Division of Coastal Management is unsuspending CAMA General Permit No, 38466-D. The permit will remain active until the expiration date of April 6, 2005. 1 request that you contact Mr. Robb Mairs, Field Representative for the Division of Coastal Management in the Wilmington Regional Office at(910 395-3900 to schedule a meeting to obtain revised and/or new CAMA General Permit, • incerely, regson 'ct Manager rr• Toil T...,A,tl nr' .x ,•., • :N. • ,Wit, L . : • J M la t a •Ni. x , } Yi �i• f4,'4 ttu 1 Pi. �" E t ;I PLAINTIFF'S e.
