RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA VIOLATION #14-23A
Dear Mr. Wright:
This letter confirms that on June 2, 2014, , I met with you on your property located at 251 N. Dogwood Trail
adjacent to the Currituck Sound located in or near Southern Shores, Dare County, North Carolina. The
purpose of the visit was to investigate the unauthorized development of a four -piling boatlift as well as a
pier and platform within a basin -like waterbody that connects to the Currituck Sound. This letter also
confirms a follow-up site visit on September 3, 2014.
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 North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This requirement is imposed
by North Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 11 3A-1 18.
I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for the installation of a
-13'x12' four -piling boatlift as well as a 16'x4' pier with a 11'xl0' platform on the aforementioned property.
Additionally, an aerial photo review revealed that a 12'x4' drop -down platform was added to the existing
docking facility located within the Currituck Sound. This activity took place in the Public Trust Area and
Estuarine Waters that are contiguous with the Currituck Sound. The Public Trust Area and Estuarine
Waters are designated as Area(s) of Environmental Concern (AEC). No CAMA 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 and the State's Dredge and Fill Law.
I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further development. A civil assessment of up to
$10,000 plus investigative costs 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 $10,000. An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to enforcWny,,,ID
violation in accordance with N.C.G.S. 113A-126.

It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a civil penalty plus investigative costs
against all violations. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating the violation and/or to
compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. The amount assessed will depend upon
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. However, the four -oiling boatlift appears to be located within the 15'
riparian owner. Therefore, a signed written agreement waiving the 15' setback must be submitted to
this office within 30 days for the four -piling boatlitt to remain in its current location.
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 [phone]. 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.
Sincerely,
Ron Renaldi

RE: CAMA VIOLATION #14-23A
Dear Mr. Wright:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated September 10, 2014 that Ron Renaldi,
representative for the Division of Coastal Management, issued to you for the unauthorized development of
a four -piling boatlift as well as a pier and platform at 251 N. Dogwood Trail, Dare County. The violation
involved the Public Trust Area and Estuarine Waters, which are Areas of Environmental Concern
designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. A 15' setback waiver was required from the adjacent
riparian property owner to the north to allow the four -piling boatlift to remain at its present location. Our
office received the signed 15' setback waiver on September 26, 2014 making removal and/or relocation of
the four -piling boatlift unnecessary.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $10,000 plus investigative
costs may be assessed for any violation. 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, a proposed civil penalty in the amount of $427.00 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. In order to
do this, you must: (1) sign one of the attached copies of an "Agreement to Pay Civil Assessment;" (2)
attach a check or money order for $427.00 made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR); and, (3) return the signed agreement and payment to this office in the
enclosed, self-addressed envelope within ten (10) days of your receipt of this letter. Upon deposit of your
check in the Department's account, you will receive a Notice of Compliance officially closing this
enforcement action.

Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
