Ms. Judy W. Taylor's proposed civil penalty regarding NOV No. 05-13B
February 17, 2009
David Moye issued Notice of Violation No. 05-13B to Ms. Judy W. Taylor dated 16 August
2005 for the unauthorized construction of 15-feet of wooden bulkhead onsite her property located at 380
Queen Anne Drive adjacent to Mixon Creek, a tributary of the Pamlico River, in Kilby Island Subdivision
near the town of Bath, off SR 1774, in Beaufort County, North Carolina. The unauthorized installation of
the bulkhead on Ms. Taylor's property was done in 2005 by contractor, George Linton. David Moye's
2005 field notes indicate the following sequence of events regarding this case. On 09 August 2005, Mr.
Moye met with Mr. Linton onsite Jimmy Hicks' property, the riparian neighbor to Ms. Taylor, and issued
General Permit No. 38796B for the construction of 20-feet of bulkhead on Mr. Hicks' property. On 15
August 2005, Mr. Linton contacted Mr. Moye to let him know he installed 15-feet of bulkhead on Mr.
Hicks' neighbor's property, Ms. Judy Taylor. Mr. Linton explained that he didn't think he (Mr. Moye)
would mind since a hurricane was sitting offshore. Mr. Moye explained to Mr. Linton that both he and the
property owner would be issued a Notice of Violation for the unauthorized work. D. Moye contacted Ms.
Taylor on 16 August 2005 to discuss the violation. During this conversation, Ms. Taylor told Mr. Moye that
it was her fault and she would pay the fine. Mr. Linton's violation case was closed; however, an
assessment letter for Ms. Taylor's case was never issued to her in 2005.
During investigation of open cases in my district, I discovered that an assessment letter
was never sent to Ms. Taylor for the aforementioned violation. Therefore, in an attempt to close this
case, I contacted Ms. Taylor on 28 January 2009 to discuss the issuance of an assessment letter, and
she could not recall receiving a violation or anything about the case. I prepared the assessment letter
dated 04 February 2009 that was received via certified mail by Ms. Taylor on 07 February 2008 and I
included a copy of NOV No. 05-13B in the mailing. We received correspondence from Ms. Taylor dated
08 February 2009 requesting reconsideration of the penalty (see attached).

Re: CAMA Violation # 05-13B
380 Queen Anne Drive
Bath, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Moore,
Today I received a Notice of Violation dated 16 August 2005 for unauthorized construction of
a 15. foot long bulkhead at the above listed property.
I.have a recollection of George Linton, who did the construction, telling me that he would
obtain the permit. I am aware of the necessity of obtaining a permit and would certainly not
knowingly violate this code.
I'would respectively request a reconsideration of the fine due to the fact that I was unaware of
the: violation• and the delay in notification.
I appreciate any consideration you can give to this matter.

RE: CAMA VIOLATION #05-13B
Dear Mrs. Taylor:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated 16 August 2005 that David Moye, Express Permit
Coordinator for the Division of Coastal Management, issued to you for the unauthorized construction of a 15-foot
long wooden bulkhead. This occurred on your property located at 380 Queen Anne Drive adjacent to Mixon Creek,
which connects into the Pamlico River, near the Town of Bath, off SR 1774, in Beaufort County, North Carolina. The
violation involved Public Trust Area and Public Trust Shoreline of Mixon Creek, which are Areas of Environmental
Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon the site visit conducted on 09 August
2005 by David Moye, the "Development' that you have undertaken without the proper permit(s) is consistent with
the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 07H, Sections .0208, State Guidelines for Areas of
Environmental Concern. Therefore, no restoration was required in the notice of violation for the unauthorized
development.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $2,500 may be assessed for
any violation occurring prior to February 1, 2008. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a
civil penalty for all violations in order to recover some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate
the public for any damage to its natural resources.
Under the rules of the Coastal Resources Commission prior to February 1, 2008, a proposed civil penalty in
the amount of $200 is appropriate for this violation. You may expeditiously resolve this matter prior to the
assessment of a formal civil penalty by accepting responsibility for the violation and paying the amount proposed
above.

RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA VIOLATION #05-13B
Dear Mrs. Taylor
This letter confirms that on 9 August 2005, 1 met your contractor George Linton onsite your property located
at 380 Queen Anne Drive adjacent to Mixon Creek which connects into the Pamlico River located near the
Town of Bath, off SR 1774, in Beaufort County, North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to discuss
permit requirements for the bulkhead construction on your property adjacent Mixon Creek. This letter also
confirms our 16 August 2005 telephone conversation.
Information gathered by me for the Division of Coastal Management indicates that you have undertaken
major development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). No person may undertake
major development in a designated Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) without first obtaining a permit
from the Noah Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This requirement is imposed
by Noah Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 11 3A-1 18.
1 have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for the construction of ±15'
of wooden bulkhead on the aforementioned property. This activity took place within the Public Trust Area
and the Coastal Shoreline that is contiguous with Mixon Creek. Public Trust Areas and Coastal Shoreline
areas are designated as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). No permit was issued to you for work in
these areas. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of
Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act.
I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further unauthorized activities within designated
Areas of Environmental Concern. A civil assessment of up to $2,500 may be assessed against any violator.
Each day that the development described in this notice is continued or repeated may constitute a separate
violation that is subject to an additional assessment of up to $2,500, An injunction or criminal penalty may
also be sought to enforce any violation (N.C.G.S. 11 3A-126).

It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to levy a minimum civil assessment of $200 not to
exceed $2,500 against all violations. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating violations
and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a higher amount will be
assessed depends on several factors, including the nature and area of the resources that were affected
and'the:extent of the damage to them.
Based upon review of the Coastal Area Management Act, Coastal Resource Commission's rules, and the
local jurisdiction's Land Use Plan, the activity you have undertaken appears consistent with the guidelines
for Areas of Environmental Concern.Therefore, restoration of the impacted area is not requested at this
time. However, please be advised that upon request, you must be able to provide us proof that you have
given your adjacent riparian property owner(s) notice of this unauthorized development and provided them
the opportunity to comment to the Division of Coastal Management.
Should you be requested to provide this documentation, you must provide confirmation that a written
statement has been obtained, signed by the adjacent riparian property owners, indicating that they have no
objection to the completed work; or you must provide confirmation that the adjacent riparian property
owners have been notified by certified mail of the completed work. This notice shall instruct adjacent
property owners to provide any comments on the completed development in writing to this Division within
ten (10) days of receipt of the notice and shall indicate. that no response from them will be interpreted as
not having any objection.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. If you have any questions
about.this or related matters, please call me at (252) 948-3852. Upon my submission of an enforcement
report to the District Manager, you will be notified as to the amount of a civil assessment for undertaking
development without first obtaining the proper permit(s).
The relevant statutes and regulations are available from this office, and I am willing to assist you in
complying with the requirements of these laws. A site inspection will be made in the near future to
determine whether this REQUEST TO CEASE AND DESIST has been complied with. I request that you
contact me immediately about these important matters.

2005 field notes indicate the following sequence of events regarding this case. On 09 August 2005, Mr.
Moye met with Mr. Linton onsite Jimmy Hicks' property, the riparian neighbor to Ms. Taylor, and issued
General Permit No. 38796B for the construction of 20-feet of bulkhead on Mr. Hicks' property. On 15
August 2005, Mr. Linton contacted Mr. Moye to let him know he installed 15-feet of bulkhead on Mr.
Hicks' neighbor's property, Ms. Judy Taylor. Mr. Linton explained that he didn't think he (Mr. Moye)
would mind since a hurricane was sitting offshore. Mr. Moye explained to Mr. Linton that both he and the
property owner would be issued a Notice of Violation for the unauthorized work. D. Moye contacted Ms.
Taylor on 16 August 2005 to discuss the violation. During this conversation, Ms. Taylor told Mr. Moye that
it was her fault and she would pay the fine. Mr. Linton's violation case was closed; however, an
assessment letter for Ms. Taylor's case was never issued to her in 2005.
During investigation of open cases in my district, I discovered that an assessment letter
was never sent to Ms. Taylor for the aforementioned violation. Therefore, in an attempt to close this
case, I contacted Ms. Taylor on 28 January 2009 to discuss the issuance of an assessment letter, and
she could not recall receiving a violation or anything about the case. I prepared the assessment letter
dated 04 February 2009 that was received via certified mail by Ms. Taylor on 07 February 2008 and I
included a copy of NOV No. 05-13B in the mailing. We received correspondence from Ms. Taylor dated
08 February 2009 requesting reconsideration of the penalty (see attached).

Dear Mr. Moore,
Today I received a Notice of Violation dated 16 August 2005 for unauthorized construction of
a 15 foot long bulkhead at the above listed property.
Lhave a recollection of George Linton, who did the construction, telling me that he would
obtain the permit. I am aware of the necessity of obtaining a permit and would certainly not
knowingly violate this code.
I.wot ld respectively request a reconsideration of the fine due to the fact that I was unaware of
the violation and the delay n notification.
I appreciate any consideration you can give to this matter.

RE CAMA VIOLATION #05-13B
Dear Mrs. Taylor:
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated 16 August 2005 that David Moye, Express Permit
Coordinator for the Division of Coastal Management, issued to you for the unauthorized construction of a 15-foot
long wooden bulkhead. This occurred on your property located at 380 Queen Anne Drive adjacent to Mixon Creek,
which connects into the Pamlico River, near the Town of Bath, off SR 1774, in Beaufort County, North Carolina. The
violation involved Public Trust Area and Public Trust Shoreline of Mixon Creek, which are Areas of Environmental
Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon the site visit conducted on 09 August
2005 by David Moye, the "Development" that you have undertaken without the proper permit(s) is consistent with
the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 07H, Sections .0208, State Guidelines for Areas of
Environmental Concern. Therefore, no restoration was required in the notice of violation for the unauthorized
development.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $2,500 may be assessed for
any violation occurring prior to February 1, 2008. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a
civil penalty for all violations in order to recover some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate
the public for any damage to its natural resources.
Under the rules of the Coastal Resources Commission prior to February 1, 2008, a proposed civil penalty in
the amount of $200 is appropriate for this violation. You may expeditiously resolve this matter prior to the
assessment of a formal civil penalty by accepting responsibility for the violation and paying the amount proposed
above.
