Dear Town of North Topsail Beach:
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 February 8, 2022,1 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 2/25/2022, 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. 11 3.103(5)(B)(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. 11 3A-1 03(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 the public crossover, as shown on the attached drawing and
materials list and the existing stairs which attach to the access associated with the maintenance.
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,
Curt Weychert , DCM Field Representative
