Cox and family acting through Sloane Realty, Inc. P.O. Box 345 Shallotte, North Carolina 28459 RE: Violations) of Coastal Area Management Act and CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-0001 Dear Mr. Anderson: I thank you and your clients for meeting with me and other representatives of the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources to discuss this matter. I have concluded that the information gathered by the Division of Coastal Management shows that Rae S. Cox and family acting through Sloane Realty, Inc., have undertaken minor development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act and the Conditions of CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-cool. The investigation by the Division of Coastal Management has revealed that CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-0001 which was issued by the Local Permit Officer, Town of Ocean Isle Beach, authorizes the construction of a motel which violates the erosion setback requirement for large structures established by the Coastal Resources Commission in Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(4). Permit No. 89-0001 authorizes the construction of five motel buildings each containing ten units, and these buildings do not comply with the minimum 120 foot setback for motels with more than four units in Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(4). The Minor Development Permit was issued in violation of G.S. 113A-120(a)(8) which provides that a permit shall not be issued if it is inconsistent with the Rules adopted by the Coastal Resources Commission. The Division's investigation has also revealed Violations of the Conditions attached to Permit No. 89-0001. condition (1) has been violated because one of the buildings is being constructed PO 11- 27687, FtAigh, North CArcIma 27611-76V Trlephone 919733-2293 „09.91 02:41 PM *COOPER BUILDING P03 -2- within 60 feet of the first line of stable, natural vegetation. condition (6) has been violated because one of the dunes has been breached, thus weakening its protective value. I hereby request that Rae Sloane Realty, Inc., and their CEASE AND DESIST all further buildings which violates the Coastal Area Management Act, commission, and conditions in 89-0001. This prohibition on any interior finishing work on S. Cox and family acting through agents and employees immediately construction of the five motel above -cited provisions in the Rules of the Coastal Resources CAMA Minor Development Permit No. sny further construction includes the five motel buildings. In addition, I hereby request that these violations be restored to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management within 90 days of receipt of this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST pursuant to a restoration plan approved by the Division. In order to restore the violations, the number of units in each of the motel buildings must be reduced to four or less, all of the buildings must be located 60 feet or more landward of the first line of stable, natural vegetation, and the breached dune must be repaired and stabilized. An acceptable restoration plan shall be submitted to the Division of Coastal Management within ten days of receipt of this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST. A civil penalty may be assessed or an injunction or criminal penalty may be sought against anyone who violates the Coastal Area Management Act or the conditions of a LAMA Development Permit. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of $50.00 against all minor development violations. This is done to recoup some of the cost of investigating violations and/or to compensate .the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a'higher penalty will be assessed will depend upon several factors, including the nature and area of the resources which were affected and the extent of the damage to them. If restoration of ,the violations is not undertaken or completed satisfactorily, a substantially higher civil penalty will be assessed and a court injunction will be sought ordering restoration. A separate penalty may be assessed for each day of a willful action or failure to act after notice of violation is given, and receipt of this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST constitutes receipt of a notice of violation. The provisions and rules governing civil penalties, injunctions, and criminal penalties are found in G.S. 113A-126 and Rule 15A NCAC 7J .0409. I should be contacted immediately about this matter. A site inspection will be made to determine whether this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST has been complied with.

The condominum declaration will contain language which will preclude further division of the building into smaller units. We will accomplish the Creation of the condominium and have it properly filed in the Brunswick County Registery within 30 days; and 2, We will restore the breach in the dune in front of the buildings within 10 days consistent with the requirement of coastal Management; and 3, we will meet on site with a representative of Coastal Management and determine what corrective action is to be followed to correct any deficiency regarding the 60 ft,requirement. In this connection we recognize that acceptance of this proposal will zit constitute; a waiver of the division's right to assess a civilpenalty should that be appropriate in the circumstances.

ARTICLE ONE DEFINITIONS Certain terms and provisions as used in this Declaration with its attached and incorporated exhibits shall be defined as follows, unless the context clearly requires and indicates a different meaning: (1) Allocated Interest: means the undivided interests in the Common Elements, the Common Expense Liability, and Votes in the Association allocated to each Unit. (2) Association: means the Unit Owners Association which is organized to administer this Condominium. (3) Common Elements: means all portions of the Condominium other than the Units and Limited Common Elements. (4) Common Expenses: means expenditures made by or financial liabilities of the Association, together with any allocations to reserves. (5) Declaration: means this instrument which creates this Condominium, and any amendments to this instrument. (6) Limited Common Elements: means a portion of the Common Elements allocated by this Declaration or by the operation of law for the exclusive use of one or more but fewer than all of the Units. The Limited Common Elements as shown on the plans are the entrance, stairways, foyers, hallways, landings located in the building, decks and/or porches. (7) Unit: means a physical portion of the Condominium designated for separate ownership or occupancy, the boundaries of which are established by the walls, floors and ceilings as shown on the plans; therefore, all lath, furring, wallboard, plasterboard, plaster, paneling, tiles, wallpaper, paint, finished flooring and any other materials constituting any part of the finished surfaces thereof are a part of the Unit; and all other portions of such walls, floors, or ceilings are a part of the Common Elements. All spaces, interior partitions, and other fixtures and improvements within the boundaries of a Unit are a part of the Unit. In this connection, pipes, ducts, wire, conduits and other facilities for the furnishing of water, electrical, cable T.V., telephone, sewage facilities and other services to the Unit and Common Elements from the point of entry through the interior surface, material for the walls, ceilings and floors are a part of the Unit. Any shutters, awnings, window boxes, doorsteps, stoops, decks, porches, balconies, patios, and all exterior doors and windows or other fixtures designed to serve a single 2. 0 Unit but located outside the Unit's boundaries are Limited Common Elements allocated exclusively to that Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, heating and air conditioning systems which serve only a particular Unit shall be considered a part of the Unit even though a portion thereof lies outside of the boundaries of the Unit. All other technical words which may be used in this Declaration, unless it is plainly evident from the context of this Declaration that a different meaning is intended, shall, as used herein, have the meaning set out in NCGS 47C-1-103. ARTICLE TWO ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CONDOMINIUM Declarant is the owner of a certain tract or parcel of land located in the Town of Ocean Isle Beach, and in Shallotte Township, Brunswick County, North Carolina, as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and on which property there has been constructed five (5) buildings containing a total of twenty (20) Condominium Units and their supporting facilities and appurtenant improvements. The buildings are of concrete and frame construction with a vinyl exterior siding as more particularly shown on the plans and specifications which appear in Unit Ownership File , Pages - recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds of Brunswick County which are fully incorporated herein by reference as a part of this Declaration of Condominium. The Declarant does hereby 3. submit the above described property and improvements to Condominium ownership under the provisions of Chapter 47C of the General Statutes of North Carolina (North Carolina Condominium Act) and does hereby'declare the same to be a Condominium to be known and identified as "OCEAN ISLE MOTEL, A CONDOMINIUM". ARTICLE THREE DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND UNIT DESIGNATIONS A graphic description of the Condominium appears in the Unit Ownership File described in Article Two. The plans and specifications for the improvements constituting the Condominium identifies the Condominium Units, Common Elements, Limited Common Elements, respective locations, dimensions and building materials. Each Unit is identified by a code number consisting of a letter and a digit. The letter will designate the building and the digit will identify the unit number. Building "A" will be located on the east side of the property and building "B" through "E" will be located in sequence moving from the east side to the west side of the property. Thus building "A" will be on the left if you are standing in the street facing the ocean, building "B" will be on the right of building "A" and likewise, building "C", "D" and "E" will be in sequence moving from east to west. The individual Units will be identified as Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 in each of the buildings. Unit 1 will be located on the first 4. floor, street side of the building, Unit 2 will be located on the first floor, ocean side of the building, Unit 3 will be located on the second floor, street side of the building and Unit 4 will be located on the second floor, ocean side of the building. Thus, a correct designation of the Units in building "A" will be Unit "Al" on the first floor, street side, Unit "A2" on the first floor, ocean side, Unit "A3" on the second floor, street side and Unit "A4" on the second floor, ocean side. Units in the remaining buildings will likewise be identified with the building letter designation being first and the unit designation second in the code. The verified statement of Joseph G. Johnson, a North Carolina Licensed Architect certifying that such plats and plans fully and accurately depict the layout, location, ceiling and floor elevations, Unit numbers and dimensions of the Units "as built", appears on the plans which are incorporated herein by reference as identified in Article Two. The Certificate of Completion prepared by the same Architect is attached hereto as Exhibit B. ARTICLE FOUR OWNERSHIP OF UNITS AND APPURTENANT ALLOCATED INTEREST TO EACH UNIT Each Unit shall be conveyed and treated as an individual property capable of independent use and fee simple 5. ownership, and the Owner of each Unit shall also own, as an appurtenance to the ownership of each said Unit, an undivided interest in the Common Elements, votes in the Association and Common Expense Liabilities. The Allocated Interest appurtenant to each Unit as of the date of this Declaration is as set out on Exhibit C attached hereto and.made a part hereof. The Allocated Interest that is appurtenant to each Unit as shown in said exhibit, has been determined by a ratio formulated by the value of "l" as the numerator for each two (2) bedroom Unit and the value of "1.33" as the numerator for each three (3) bedroom Unit over the aggregate number of Unit values constituting the Condominium, as the denominator. Thus since the Condominium consists of ten (10) two (2) bedroom Units and ten (10) three (3) bedroom Units, the formula for determining the undivided allocated interest as appurtenant to each Unit is "l" over "23.33" (1/23.33) for each two (2) bedroom Unit and "1.33" over "23.33" (1.33/23.33) for each three (3) bedroom Unit. ARTICLE FIVE RESTRICTION AGAINST FURTHER SUBDIVIDING OF UNITS: SEPARATE CONVEYANCE OF APPURTENANT COMMON ELEMENTS PROHIBITED No Unit may be divided or subdivided so as to create more than four (4) Units in any one building and any Unit Owner or subsequent Unit Owner shall have the authority to enforce this restriction. The Units are shown in the Unit Ownership File for the Condominium referred to in Article 2 and are incorporated herein by reference. The undivided interest in 9P Common Elements appurtenant to each Unit shall be deemed conveyed, devised, encumbered or otherwise included with the Unit even though such undivided interest is not expressly mentioned or described in the instrument conveying, devising, - encumbering or otherwise dealing with such Unit. Any conveyance, mortgage or other instrument which purports to grant any right, interest or lien in, to or upon the Unit shall be null, void and of no effect insofar as the same purports to affect any interest in a Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in Common Elements, unless the same purports to convey, devise, encumber or otherwise trade or deal with the entire Unit. Any instrument conveying, devising, encumbering or otherwise dealing with any Unit, which describes said Unit by the designation assigned thereto in Article Three without limitation or exception, shall be deemed and construed to affect the entire Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in the Common Elements. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or preventing ownership of any Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in the Common Elements by more than one person or entity as tenants in common, joint tenants, or as tenants by the entirety. ARTICLE SIX ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION A. A non-profit North Carolina corporation known and designated as OCEAN ISLE MOTEL PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC., (the "Association"), has been organized to provide for 7. the administration of the property; and said corporation shall administer the operation and maintenance of the property and undertake and perform all acts and duties incident thereto in accordance with the terms of its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Each Unit Owner shall automatically become a member of the corporation upon his acquisition of an ownership interest in any Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in the Common Elements; and the membership of such Unit Owner shall terminate automatically upon such Unit Owner being divested of ownership interest in the title to such Unit. In the operation and management of the property, the Board of Directors shall have the power to enforce the provisions of this Declaration; to levy and collect assessments in the manner herein provided; to grant permits, license and easements over the Common Elements for utility, roads and other purposes reasonably necessary for the proper maintenance or operation of the Condominium; and to adopt, promulgate and enforce such rules and regulations governing the use of the Units and Common Elements as the Board of Directors may deem to be in the best interest of the Association. B. Subject to the provisions of Section C of this Article Seven, the Declarant shall have the right to appoint or remove any member or members of the Board of Directors or any Officer or Officers of the Association until 75% of the Units have been conveyed to Unit Owners other than the Declarant. Any member of the Board of Directors or Officer of the [- Association designated and selected by the Declarant need not be a Unit Owner or a resident of the property. C. Not later than 60 days after conveyance of 25% of the Units to Unit Owners other than the Declarant, at least one member and not less than 25% of the members of the Board of Directors shall be elected by Unit Owners other than the Declarant. Not later than 60 days after conveyance of 50% of the Units to Unit Owners other than the Declarant, not less than 33% of the members of the Board of Directors shall be elected by Unit Owners other than the Declarant.

The Board of Directors shall elect the officers of the Association. Board of Director members and Officers shall take their office upon election. ARTICLE SEVEN ASSESSMENTS: LIABILITY. LIEN AND ENFORCEMENT The Association is given the authority to administer the operation and management of the Condominium, it being recognized that the delegation of such duties to one entity is in the best interest of the Owners of all Units. To administer properly the operation and management of the Condominium, the Association will incur, for the mutual benefit of all of the owners of Units, costs and expenses as necessary for such M proper operation, management and capital improvement; therefore, the Association is granted the right to make, levy and collect assessments against the Unit Owners and their Units. In furtherance of this grant of authority to the Association to make, levy, and collect assessments to pay the costs and expenses of the operation and management of the capital improvements to the Condominium, the following provisions shall be operative and binding upon the Owners of all Units. A. So long as the Declarant is the owner of all of the Units constituting the Condominium, it shall pay all of the expenses for operation, maintenance, upkeep, insurance and otherwise which may be incurred on the property. Commencing upon the conveyance of the first Unit to an owner other than the Declarant and unless specifically provided for otherwise in this Declaration, Common Expenses must be assessed against all Units in accordance with the allocations set forth in Article Four of this Declaration. B. Subject to the provisions of Section C of this Article Seven, assessments provided for herein shall be payable in monthly installments as determined by the Board of Directors of the Association. Such assessments shall commence for each Unit on the first day of the month following the conveyance of the first Unit to an owner other than the Declarant. C. In addition to the annual assessment authorized above, the Board of Directors may levy, in any assessment year, 10. a special assessment applicable to that year only for the purposes of: 1. Funding any shortage caused by increase in insurance premiums on the premises and 2. Defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of the Common Elements, including fixtures and personal property related thereto. D. In order to insure that the Association will have sufficient monies available to meet operational needs during the initial months of the Condominium's existence, a Working Capital Fund is hereby established. At the time of closing of the first sale of each Unit, the purchaser thereof shall pay into such Fund an amount equal to two-twelths (2/12ths) of the current annual assessment established by the Association. No such payments made into the Working Capital Fund shall be considered advance or current payment of regular assessments. All monies paid into the Working Capital Fund shall be held and administered by the Association in accordance with the terms of this Declaration and the Bylaws. E. Subject to the provisions of Sections A and B of this Article, the Board of Directors of the Association shall establish an Annual Budget in advance for each fiscal year. Such budget shall project all expenses for the forthcoming year which may be required for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the Condominium, including a reasonable 11. allowance for contingencies and reserves, and the budget shall take into account anticipated income which is to be applied in reduction of the amounts required to be collected as an assessment each year. The Board of Directors shall keep separate, in accordance with paragraph "F" hereof, items relating to operation and maintenance from items relating to capital improvements. Upon adoption of the Annual Budget by the Board of Directors of the Association, copies shall be delivered to each owner of a Unit and the assessment for the year shall be established based upon the Budget, although the failure to deliver a copy of the Budget to each owner shall not affect the liability of any owner for the assessment. F. All monies collected by the Association shall be treated as separate property of the Association, and such monies may be applied by the Association to the payment of any expense of operation and management of the Condominium, or to the proper undertaking of all acts and duties imposed upon it by virtue of this Declaration of Condominiums, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Association. As monies for any assessment are paid unto the Association by any owner of a Unit, the same may be commingled with monies paid to the Association by the other owners of Units. Although all funds and common surplus, including other assets of the Association, and any increments thereto or profits derived therefrom or from the leasing or use of Common Elements, shall be held for the benefit of the members of the Association, no member of the 12. Association shall have the right to assign, hypothecate, pledge or in any manner transfer his ownership interest therein, except as an appurtenance to his Unit. When the Owner of a Unit ceases to be a member of the Association by reason of his divestment of ownership of such Unit, by whatever means, the Association shall not be required to account to such owner for any share of the funds or assets of the Association, or which may have been paid to the Association by such owner, as all monies which any owner has paid to the Association shall be and constitute an asset of the Association which may be used in the operation and management of the Condominium. G. The payment of any assessment or installment thereof shall be in default if such assessment or installment is not paid to the Association within thirty (30) days of the due date for such payment. when in default, the delinquent assessment or delinquent installment thereof due the Association shall bear interest at the highest rate allowed by law until such delinquent assessment or installment thereof, and all interest due thereon, has been paid in full to the Association. All monies owing to the Association shall be due and payable at the main office of the Association in the State of North Carolina. H. The owner or owners of each Unit shall be personally liable, jointly and severally, to the Association for the payment of all assessments, regular or special, which may be levied by the Association against such Units while such 13. party or parties are owner or owners of a Unit. In the event that any Unit Owner is in default in payment of any assessment or installment thereof owed to the Association, such Unit Owner or Owner shall be personally liable, jointly and severally, for interest on such delinquent assessment or installment thereof as above provided, and for all costs of collecting such assessment or installment thereof and interest thereon, including reasonable attorneys fees, whether suit be brought or not. I. No owner of a Unit may exempt himself from liability for any assessment levied against him or his Unit by waiver of the use of enjoyment of any of the Common Elements, or by abandonment of the Unit or in any other way. J. Recognizing that proper operation and management of the Condominium requires the continuing payment of costs and expenses therefor, and that such proper operation and management results in benefit to all of the owners of Units, and that the payment of such Common Expenses represented by the assessments levied and collected by the Association is necessary in order to preserve and protect the investment of each Unit Owner, upon an assessment remaining unpaid for thirty (30) days, the Association is hereby granted a lien effective on the Unit when filed of record in the office of the Brunswick County Clerk of Superior Court in the manner provided in Article 8, Chapter 44 of the.North Carolina General Statutes, upon each Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in Common 14. Elements, which lien shall secure and does secure the monies due for all assessments then or thereafter levied against the owner of each such Unit, which lien shall also secure interest, if any, which may be due on the amount of any delinquent assessments owing to the Association, and which lien shall also secure all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, which may be incurred by the Association in enforcing this lien upon said Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in Common Elements. The lien granted to the Association may be foreclosed in the same manner as a mortgage on real estate with the power of sale under Article 2A, Chapter 45 of the North Carolina General Statutes. The lien granted to the Association shall further secure any advances for taxes, and payments on account of superior mortgages, liens or encumbrances which may be required to be advanced by the Association in order to preserve and protect its lien, and the Association shall further be entitled to interest at the highest rate allowed by law on any such advances made for such purpose. All persons, firms or corporations who shall acquire, by whatever means, any interest in the ownership of any Unit, or who may be given or acquire a mortgage, lien or other encumbrances thereon, are hereby placed on notice of the lien rights granted to the Association, and shall acquire such interest in any Unit expressly subject to such lien rights. K. The lien herein granted to the Association shall be enforceable from and after the time of recording a Claim of 15. Lien in the Public Records of Brunswick County, North Carolina, which claim shall state the description of the Unit encumbered thereby, the name of the record owner, the amount due and the date when due. The Claim of Lien shall be recordable any time after default (thirty (30) days past due), but shall be extinguished unless proceedings to enforce the lien are instituted within three years after the docketing thereof in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court of Brunswick County. Such claims of lien shall include assessments which are due and payable when the Claim of Lien is recorded, plus interest, fees, charges, late charges, fines, advances to pay taxes and prior encumbrances and interest thereon, all as above provided. Such Claims of Lien shall be signed and verified by an officer or agent of the Association. Upon full payment of all sums secured by such claim of lien, the same shall be satisfied of record. The lien provided for herein is prior to all other liens and encumbrances on a Unit except (i) liens and encumbrances (specifically including, but not limited to, a mortgage or deed of trust on the Unit) recorded before the docketing of the lien in the Office of the Clerk of Superior Court and (ii) liens for real estate taxes and other governmental assessments or charges against the Unit. Any person, firm or corporation acquiring title to any Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in the Common Elements by virtue of any foreclosure of a first deed of trust or judicial sale 16. relating to a first deed of trust, shall be liabla and obligated only for assessments as shall accrue and become due and payable for said Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in Common Elements subsequent to the date of acquisition of such title, and it shall not be liable for the payment of any assessments which were in default and delinquent at the time it acquired such title. In the event of the acquisition of title to a Unit by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or judicial sale, any assessment or assessments as to which the party so acquiring title shall not be liable shall be absorbed and paid by all owners of all Units as a part of the Common Expense, although nothing herein contained shall be construed as releasing the party liable for such delinquent assessment from the payment thereof or the enforcement of collection of such payment by means other than foreclosure. In the event a Unit is leased, sold or mortgaged at the time when payment of any assessment is past due (whether or not a claim of lien has been recorded by the Association), then the rent, proceeds of sale or mortgage shall be applied by the lessee or purchaser first to payment of any then delinquent assessment or installments thereof due to the Association before the payment of any rent, proceeds of sale or mortgage to the owner who is responsible for payment.of such delinquent assessment. In any voluntary conveyance of a Unit, the purchaser thereof shall be jointly and severally liable with seller for 17. all unpaid assessments against the seller made prior to the time of such voluntary conveyance, without prejudice to the rights of the purchaser to recover from seller the amounts paid by purchaser therefor. Institution of a suit at law to attempt to affect collection of the payment of any delinquent assessment shall not be deemed to be an election by the Association which shall prevent it from thereafter seeking, by foreclosure action, enforcement of the collection of any sums remaining owing to it, nor shall proceeding by foreclosure to attempt such collection be deemed to be an election precluding the institution of a suit at law to collect any sum then remaining owing to Association. ARTICLE EIGHT COMMON SURPLUS Any surplus funds of the Association remaining after payment of or provision for Common Expenses and any prepayment of reserves shall be paid to the Unit Owner in proportion to their Common Expense Liabilities or credited to them to reduce their future Common Expense Assessment. ARTICLE NINE USE OF COMMON ELEMENTS Each Unit Owner, his lessees, invitees, or guests shall have the right to use the Common Elements in accordance with the purposes for,which they are intended and for all purposes incident to the use and occupancy of his Unit, and such right shall be appurtenant to and run with his Unit; provided, however, that no person shall use the Common Elements or any part thereof in such a manner as to interfere with or restrict or impede the use thereof by others entitled to the use thereof or in any manner contrary to or not in accordance with this Declaration, the Bylaws, and such rules and regulations as may be established from time to time by the Board of Directors. ARTICLE TEN RIGHT OF ASSOCIATION TO ALTER AND IMPROVE COMMON ELEMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS THEREFOR The Association shall have the right to make or cause to be made such alterations or improvements to the Common Elements (including the right to grant and establish upon, over and across the Common Elements such easements as are necessary or desirable for providing service or utilities to the Units and the Common Elements) which do not materially prejudice the rights of the owner of any Unit in the use and enjoyment of his Unit, provided the making of such alterations and improvements are approved by the Board of Directors of the Association, and the cost of such alterations or improvements shall be Common Expenses to be assessed and collected from all of the owners of Units. However, where any alterations and improvements are exclusively or substantially for the benefit of the owner or owners of certain Unit or Units requesting the same (excluding the sewer system which shall always be a Common Expense to be 19. assessed and collected from all of the Unit Owners), then the cost of making, maintaining, repairing and insuring such alterations or improvements shall be assessed against and collected solely from the owner or owners of the Unit or Units exclusively or substantially benefited, the assessment to be levied in such proportion as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Association. ARTICLE ELEVEN MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR BY OWNERS OF UNITS Every owner shall perform promptly all maintenance and repair work within his Unit which, if omitted would affect the Condominium, either in its entirety or in a part belonging to other owners, every owner being expressly responsible for the damages and liability which his failure to do so may engender. The owner of each Unit shall be liable and responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement, as the case may be, of all of the Unit's air conditioning and heating equipment, including compressors, ducts, wiring, pipes and so forth. He shall also be responsible for the upkeep for any utility fixtures and/or their connections required to provide water, light, power, telephone, sewage and sanitary service to his Unit from the point of entry into his Unit. Such owner shall further be responsible and liable for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the exterior surfaces of any and all walls, ceilings and floors within his Unit including painting, 20. decorating and furnishings, and all other accessories which such owner may desire to place or maintain in his Unit. Whenever the maintenance, repair and replacement of any item for which the owner of a Unit is obligated to maintain, replace or repair at his own expense is occasioned by any loss or damage which may be covered by any insurance maintained in force by the Association, the proceeds of the insurance received by the Association shall be used for the purpose of making such maintenance, repair or replacement except that the owner of such Unit shall be, in such instance, required to pay such portion of the costs of such maintenance, repair and replacement as shall, by reason of the applicability of any deductibility provision of such insurance, exceed the amount of the insurance proceeds applicable to such maintenance, repair or replacement. The owner of a Unit who has exclisive use of any Limited Common Element shall maintain such at his own expense. All glass, doors, window frames, panes and screens are a part of the respective Units and shall be maintained by the respective Unit Owners. ARTICLE TWELVE EASEMENTS A. Each Unit Owner shall have a perpetual nonexclusive easement in common with all other Unit Owners to use all pipes, wires, ducts, cables, conduits, public utility lines and other Common Elements located in any of the other Units and serving his Unit. Each Unit shall be subject to a 21. perpetual non-exclusive easement in favor of all other Unit Owners to use the pipes, ducts, cables, wires, conduits, public utility lines and other Common Elements serving such other Units and located in such Unit. The Board of Directors shall have the right of access to each Unit to remove violations therefrom and to maintain, repair or replace the Common Elements contained therein. B. To the extent that any Unit or Common Element encroaches on any other Unit or Common Element, a valid easement for the encroachment is hereby granted pursuant to N.C.G.S. 47C-2-114. C. The Board of Directors may hereafter grant easements for utility purposes for the benefit of the property including the right to install, lay, maintain, repair and replace water lines, pipes, ducts, sewer lines, gas mains, telephone wires and equipment and electrical conduits, and wires over, under, along and on any portion of the Common Elements; and each Unit Owner hereby grants to the Board of Directors an irrevocable power of attorney to execute, acknowledge and record for and in the name of each Unit Owner such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the foregoing and said Unit Owner hereby binds himself, his grantee(s), heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns. D. In case of emergency originating in or threatening any Unit or the Common Elements, regardless of whether the Unit 22. 0 Owners are present at the time of such emergency, the Board of Directors, or any other person authorized by it, shall have the right to enter any Unit for the purpose of remedying or abating the cause of such emergency and making any other necessary repairs not performed by the Unit Owners, and such right of entry shall be immediate. E. The Declarant reserves for itself, its successors and assigns the right to grant easements for utility purposes for the benefit of the property including the right to install, lay, maintain, repair and replace water lines, pipes, ducts, sewer lines, gas mains, telephone wires and equipment and electrical conduits, and wires over, under, along and on any portion of the Common Elements, as necessary for the development of its adjoining property. ARTICLE THIRTEEN PARTITIONING Recognizing that the proper use of a Unit by an owner or owners is dependent upon the use and enjoyment of the Common Elements with the owners of all other Units, and that it is in the interest of all owners that the ownership of the Common Elements be retained in common by the owners, it is hereby declared that the Allocated Interest in the Common Elements appurtenant to each Unit shall remain undivided and no Unit Owner shall bring or have any right to bring any action for partitioning or division. 23. ARTICLE FOURTEEN LIENS ON THE COMMON ELEMENTS A judgment for money against the Association is not a lien on the Common Elements, but if docketed at the Brunswick County Clerk of Courts Office, shall be a lien in favor of the judgment lienholder against all of the Units in the Condominium at the time the judgment was entered. No other property of a Unit Owner is subject to the claim of creditors of the Association. Notwithstanding this statement however, if the Association grants a security interest in the Common Elements to a creditor of the Association, the holder of the security interest must exercise its right against Common Elements before its judgment lien on any Unit may be enforced. If a lien (other than a deed of trust) becomes effective against two or more Units, the Unit Owners of any effected Unit may pay the lienholder the amount of the lien attributable to his Unit and obtain a release of the lien on his Unit. ARTICLE FIFTEEN INSURANCE A. Commencing not later than the time of the first conveyance of a Unit to a person other than the Declarant, the Association shall maintain, to the extent available: 1. Property insurance on the Common Elements and Units insuring against all risks of direct physical loss commonly insured against including fire and extended coverage perils. The total 24. amount of insurance after application of any deductibles shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost of the insured property at the time the insurance is purchased and at each renewal date, exclusive of land, excavations, foundations and other items normally excluded from property policies; and 2. Liability insurance in reasonable amounts, covering all occurrences commonly insured against death, bodily injury and property damage arising out of or in connection with the use, ownership, or maintenance of the Common Elements. B. The insurance maintained under subsection (A)(1) need not include improvements and betterments installed by Unit Owners. C. If the insurance described in subsection (A) is not reasonably available, the Association promptly shall cause notice of that fact to be hand -delivered or sent prepaid by United States mail to all Unit Owners. The Declaration may require the Association to carry any other insurance, and the Association in any event may carry any other insurance it deems appropriate to protect the association or the Unit Owners. D. Insurance policies carried pursuant to subsection (A) must provide that: 1. Each Unit Owner is an insured person under the policy with respect to liability arising out of his interest in the Common Elements or membership 25. f in the Association; 2. The insurer waives its right to subrogation under the policy against any Unit Owner or members of his household; 3. No act or omission by any Unit Owner, unless acting within the scope of his authority on behalf of the Association, will preclude recovery under the policy; and 4. If, at any time of a loss under the policy, there is other insurance in the name of a Unit Owner covering the same risk covered by the policy, the Association's policy provides primary insurance. E. Any loss covered by the property policy under subsections (A)(1) and (B) shall be adjusted with the Association, but the insurance proceeds for that loss shall be payable to any insurance trustee designated for that purpose, or otherwise to the Association, and not to any mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of trust. The insurance trustee or the Association shall hold any insurance proceeds in trust for Unit Owners and lienholders as their interests may appear. Subject to the provisions of subsection (H), the proceeds shall be disbursed first for the repair or restoration of the damaged property, and Unit Owners and lienholders are not entitled to receive payment of any portion of the proceeds unless there is a surplus of proceeds after the property has been completely repaired or restored, or the Condominium is terminated. 26. l F. An insurance policy issued to the Association does not prevent a Unit Owner from obtaining insurance for his own benefit. G. An insurer that has issued an insurance policy under this section shall issue certificates or memoranda of insurance to the Association and upon written request, to any Unit Owner, mortgagee, or beneficiary under a deed of trust. The insurer issuing the policy may not cancel or refuse to renew it until 30 days after notice of the proposed cancellation or nonrenewal has been mailed to the Association, each Unit Owner and each mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of trust to whom certificates or memoranda of insurance have been issued at their respective last known addresses. H. Any portion of the Condominium for which insurance is required under this section which is damaged or destroyed shall be repaired or replaced promptly by the Association unless (1) the Condominium is terminated, (2) repair or replacement would be illegal under any State or local health or safety statute or ordinance, or (3) the Unit Owners decide not to rebuild by an eighty percent (80%) vote, including one hundred percent (100%) approval of owners of Units not to be rebuilt or owners assigned to Limited Common Elements not to be rebuilt. The cost of repair or replacement in excess of insurance proceeds and reserves is a Common Expense. If the entire Condominium is not repaired or replaced, (1) the insurance proceeds attributable to the damaged Common Elements 27. 0 shall be used to restore the damaged area to a condition compatible with the remainder of the Condominium, (2) the insurance proceeds attributable to Units and Limited Common Elements which are not rebuilt shall be distributed to the owners of those Units and the owners of the Units to which those Limited Common Elements were allocated or to lienholders, as their interest may appear, and (3) the remainder of the proceeds shall be distributed to all the Unit Owners or lienholders, as their interest may appear, in proportion to their Common Element interest. If the Unit Owners vote not to rebuild any Unit, that Unit's Allocated Interests are automatically reallocated upon the vote as if the Unit had been condemned under N.C.G.S. 47C-1-107(a), and the Association promptly shall prepare, execute, and record an amendment to the Declaration reflecting the reallocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, N.C.G.S. 47C-2-118 governs the distribution of insurance proceeds if the Condominium is terminated. ARTICLE SIXTEEN Except for an amendment permitted by N.C.G.S. 47C-2-117, this Declaration may only be amended by the affirmative vote of or written agreement signed by, the Unit Owners of 67% of the votes in the Association. ARTICLE SEVENTEEN TIME SHARE No Unit may be owned or occupied in a time share form tM of ownership. ARTICLE EIGHTEEN STATEMENT OF PURPOSES, USE AND RESTRICTIONS The Units and Common Elements shall be occupied and used as follows: A. This is a residential Condominium and the Units therefore shall be used only for residential purposes, including temporary rental thereof. B. There shall be no obstruction of the Common Elements. Nothing may be stored in the Common Elements without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. C. Nothing shall be done or kept in any Unit or in the Common Elements which will increase the rate of insurance on the Common Elements or any other Unit without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. No Unit Owner shall permit anything to be done or kept in his Unit or in the Common Elements which would result in the cancellation of insurance on any Unit or any part of the Common Elements, or which would be in violation of any law. No waste of the Common Elements shall be permitted or committed. D. No sign of any kind except in connection with the Declarant's sales model shall be displayed to the public view from any Unit or from the Common Elements without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. E. No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind (except household pets) shall be raised, bred or kept in any 29. Unit or in the Common Elements except in accordance with the promulgated rules of the Board of Directors. F. No noxious, offensive, unlawful, immoral, or improper activity shall be carried on in any unit, or in the Common Elements; nor shall anything be done therein which will be an annoyance or nuisance to other owners. G. Nothing shall be altered or constructed in or removed from the Common Elements except with the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. H. The Board of Directors of the Association is authorized to adopt rules for the use of the Common Elements, said rules to be furnished in writing to the Unit Owners. I. Any lease or temporary rental of any unit shall be in all respects subject to the Condominium documents and any rules and regulations promulgated by the Board of Directors. J. Except with the written consent of the Board of Directors, no natural barriers in the form of trees, bushes or shrubs; and no man-made structures shall be permitted on or about the Common Elements, except such natural barriers and man-made structures existing on the date of this Declaration. ARTICLE NINETEEN REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT The Owner or Owners of each Condominium Unit shall be governed by and shall comply with the provisions of this Declaration of Condominium, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Association, as any of the same are now 30. constituted or as they may be amended from time to time. A default under the provision of any one of these documents by the Owner of any Condominium Unit shall entitle the Association or the Owner of other Condominium Units to the following relief: A. An action to recover sums due for damages, injunctive relief,,foreclosure of liens, or any combination thereof, which action may be brought by the Association or, if appropriate, by an aggrieved Unit Owner. B. Each Unit Owner shall be liable for the expense of any maintenance, repair or replacement rendered necessary by his act, neglect or carelessness, or by that of any member of his family, or his or their guests, employees, agents or lessees, but only to the extent that such expense is not met by the proceeds of insurance carried by the Association. Such liability shall include any increase in fire insurance rates occasioned by use, misuse, occupancy or abandonment of a Condominium Unit or its appurtenances. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be construed so as to modify any waiver by insurance companies of rights of subrogation. C. In any proceeding arising because of an alleged default by a Unit Owner, the Association, or any Unit Owner adversely affected, if successful, shall be entitled to recover the costs of the proceeding and such reasonable attorney's fees as may be determined by the Court.. D. The failure of the Association or any Unit Owner to enforce any right, provision, covenant or condition which 31. may be granted by this Declaration of Condominium or the other above mentioned documents shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the Association or of the Unit Owner to enforce such right, provision, covenant or condition in the future. E. All rights, remedies and privileges granted to the Association or the Owner or Owners of a Condominium Unit, pursuant to any terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of the Declaration of Condominium or the other above mentioned documents, shall be deemed to be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more shall not be deemed to constitute an election of remedies, nor shall it preclude the party thus exercising the same from exercising such other and additional rights, remedies or privileges as may be available to such party at law or in equity. F. The failure of Declarant to enforce any right, privilege, covenant or condition which may be granted to it by this Declaration of Condominium or other above mentioned document shall not constitute a waiver of the right of Declarant to thereafter enforce such right, provisions, covenant or condition in the future. G. The failure of an Institutional Lender or Institutional Lenders to enforce any right, provision, privilege, covenant or condition which may be granted to it or them by this Declaration of Condominium or other above mentioned documents, shall not constitute a waiver of the right of said party or parties to thereafter enforce such right, 32. privilege, covenant or condition in the future. ARTICLE TWENTY USE OF UNITS AND COMMON ELEMENTS FOR SALES AND RENTAL PURPOSES The Declarant reserves the right to maintain a sales and rental office and model sales Units during the period of time that it is actively renting or selling Units in the Condominium. The Declarant further reserves the right to make use of the Common Elements for the purpose of carrying out its sales and rental program. The Declarant may use any Unit it chooses for this purpose and may make whatever use of the Common Elements it chooses for these purposes. ARTICLE TWENTY-ONE INVALIDITY The invalidity of any provision of this Declaration shall not be deemed to impair or affect in any manner the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Declaration; and in such event, all the other provisions of this Declaration shall continue in full force and effect as if such invalid provision had never been included herein. ARTICLE TWENTY-TWO WAIVER No provisions contained in the Declaration shall be deemed to have been abrogated or waived by reason of any failure to enforce the same, irrespective of the number of violations or breaches which may occur. 33. ARTICLE TWENTY-THREE CAPTIONS The captions herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Declaration or the intent of any provision hereof. ARTICLE TWENTY-FOUR LAW CONTROLLING This Declaration and the Bylaws shall be construed and controlled by and under the laws of the State of North Carolina. ARTICLE TWENTY-FIVE LIBERAL CONSTRUCTION The provisions of this Declaration shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purpose of creating a uniform plan of Condominium ownership as provided in the North Carolina Condominium Act. Throughout this Declaration, wherever appropriate, the singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender, the feminine or neuter, as the context permits or requires.

Permit Holder will cause to be created no more than four condominiums units in each of the 5 buildings persuant to and in compliance with the North Carolina Condominium Act. The condominum declaration will contain language which will preclude further division of the building into smaller units.. We will accomplish the creation of the condominium and have it properly filed in the Brunswick County Registery within 30 days; and 2. We will restore the breach in the dune in front of the buildings within 10 days consistent with the requirement of Coastal Management; and , 3. We will meet on site with a representative of Coastal Management and determine what corrective action is to be followed to correct any deficiency regarding the 60 ft.requirement. in this connection we recognize that acceptance of this proposal will not constitute a waiver of the division's right to assess a civil penalty should that be appropriate in the circumstances. Mr. Schecter, on behalf of the of the permit holder we will appreciate your consideration of these proposals and respectfully request that the Cease and Desist Order be suspended until we can comply with these proposals and then to dissolve it in due course.

Cox and family acting through Sloane Realty, Inc. P.O. Box 345 Shallotte, North Carolina 28459 RE: Violation(s) of Coastal Area Management Act and LAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-0001 Dear Mr. Anderson: I thank you and your clients for meeting.with me and other representatives of the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources to discuss this matter. I have, concluded that the information gathered by the Division of Coastal Management shows that Rae S. Cox and family acting through Sloane Realty, Inc., have undertaken minor development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act and the Conditions of CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-0001. The investigation by the Division of Coastal Management has revealed that CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-0001 which was issued by the Local Permit Officer, Town of Ocean Isle Beach, authorizes the construction of a motel which violates the erosion setback requirement for large structures established by the Coastal Resources Commission in Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(4). Permit No. 89-0001 authorizes the construction of five motel buildings each containing ten units, and these buildings do not comply with the minimum 120 foot setback for motels with more than four units in Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(4). The Minor Development Permit was issued in violation of G.S. 113A-120(a)(8) which provides that a permit shall not be issued if it is inconsistent with the Rules adopted by the Coastal Resources Commission. The Division's investigation the Conditions attached to Permit been violated because one of the has also revealed violations of No. 89-0001. Condition (1) has buildings is being constructed . P.O. Box 27697, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Telephone 9I9-733-2293 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer -2- within 60 feet of the first line of stable, natural vegetation. Condition (6) has been violated because one of the dunes has been breached, thus weakening its protective value. I hereby request that Rae S. Cox and family acting through Sloane Realty, Inc., and their agents and employees immediately CEASE AND DESIST all further construction of the five motel buildings which violates the above -cited provisions in the Coastal Area Management Act, Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission, and Conditions in CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-0001. This prohibition on any further construction includes any interior finishing work on the five motel buildings. In addition, I hereby request that these violations be restored to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management within 90 days of receipt of this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST pursuant to a restoration plan approved by the Division. In order to restore the violations, the number of units in each of the motel buildings must be reduced to four or less, all of the buildings must be located 60 feet or more landward of the first line of stable, natural vegetation, and the breached dune must be repaired and stabilized. An acceptable restoration plan shall be submitted to the Division of Coastal Management within ten days of receipt of this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST. A civil penalty may be assessed or an injunction or criminal penalty may be sought against anyone who violates the Coastal Area Management Act or the conditions of a CAMA Development Permit. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of $50.00 against all minor development violations. This is done to recoup some of the cost of investigating violations and/or to compensate 'the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a'•.higher penalty will be assessed will depend upon several factors, including the nature and area of the resources which were affected and the extent of the damage to them. If restoration of the violations is not undertaken or completed satisfactorily, a substantially higher civil penalty will be assessed and a court injunction will be sought ordering restoration. A separate penalty may be assessed for each day of a willful action or failure to act after notice of violation is given, and receipt of this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST constitutes receipt of a notice of violation. The provisions and rules governing civil penalties, injunctions, and criminal penalties are found in G.S. 113A-126 and Rule 15A NCAC 7J .0409. I should be contacted immediately about this matter. A site inspection will be made to determine whether this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST has been complied with. Sinc rely, Rog e Schecter -3- cc: Preston Pate Jim Herstine David Heeter Robin Smith T. D.

The rules of the Coastal Resources Commission require that you receive an AEC hazard notice and acknowledge that notice in writing before any permit for development in this area can be issued. The Commission's rules on building standards, oceanfront setbacks and dune alteration are designed to minimize, but not totally eliminate, property losses from the, hazards. By granting permits, the Coastal Resources Commission does not guarantee the safety of the development and assumes no liability for future damage to the development. The best available information, as accepted by the Coastal Resources Commission, indicates that the annual ocean erosion rate for the area where your property is locates is_�_2— _feet per year. Date — INLET HAZARD AREA This figure was established by careful analysis of aerial photographs of the coastline taken over the past 30 to 40 years. Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move as much ash 0 ___feet landward in a major storm. The flood waters in a r m storare predic- ted to be about / ! fee�in this area. Preferred oceanfront protection measures are beach nourishment projects and relocation of threatened structures. Hard erosion protection structures such as wooden bulkheads, seawalls, rock arid rubble revetments, wooden, metal, concrete or rock jetties, groins and breakwaters, concrete -filled sandbags and tire structures are prohibired. Sandbag bulkheads or groins, beach nourishment, beach bulldozing, and low intensity off -shore passive sancitrapping devices may be p iss ble under certain.%onditions. 's Signature The applicant must acknowledge receipt of this information by signing this ndi.ice in the space above. Without the proper signature, the application will not be complete. SPECIAL NOTE: This hazard notice is required for development in areas subject to =udders and massive storms and erosion. Permits issued in this area expire on December 31 of the third year following the year in which the permit was issued. Shortly before work begins on the project site, the Local Permit Officer will determine the vegetation lire and setback distance at that particular site. If the property has seen littie change and the proposed development can still meet the setback requirement the LPO will inform you that you may begin development. It is important that you check with the LPO before the permir expires for official approval to continue work after ,your permit expires. Gener• ally, if foundation pilings have been placed and substantial progress is continuing, permit renewal may not be necessary. If substantial progress has not been made the permit must be renewed and a new setback may be applied. IT IS UNLAWFUL TO CONTINUE WORK AFTER PERMIT EXPIRATION WITHOUT THIS APPROVAL.

Cobey, Jr. Secretary of the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Roger Schecter Director of the Division of Coastal Management FROM: Mason H. Anderson Anderson & MCLamb Attorneys at Law DATE: April 5, 1991 SUBJECT: Threatened Cease and Desist Order of the building Project pursuant to CAMA Minor Permit No. 89-0001 issued in the name of Sloane Realty, Inc. and Rae S. Cox on January 30, 1989 FACTS 1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Rae S. Cox and her family through Sloane Realty, Inc. of Ocean Isle Beach are the owners of the lots located at Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick County, North Carolina as identified in the above -referenced Minor Development Permit and have been for a number of years. At one time there was a motel located on a portion of this property. The motel was removed because it was antiquated and the property has been vacant for a number of years. The family commenced plans for the development of the property in 1988. They became familiar with and conversant with the rules required to be complied with for a CAMA Minor Development Permit. They understood that the key requirements were: (a) a minimum setback of 60 feet; and (b) that no building in the project contain more than 5,000 square feet; and (c) there be no more than four Units in any building; and (d) there must be one acre or less in the project. Armed with this knowledge and with full intent to comply with these requirements, the Permittee instructed their architect to design a motel project within these guidelines. On January 9, 1989, Sloane Realty, Inc. and Rae S. Cox submitted the general information necessary to apply for a minor permit for the proposed project. A copy of the CAMA Permit application is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The application identified the lots and parcel of property on which the project was to be located. It indicated that there would be five buildings, each containing 4,997 square feet, and that the total area of the site was 36,450 square feet. The application was delivered to Druid Roberson, the Building Inspector for the Town of Ocean Isle Beach and the LPO, with authority in the municipality on the 9th day of January, 1989. The applicant also submitted detailed drawings to Mr. Roberson, the LPO, along with the application. The LPO; as is required, submitted the application together with the plans of the project to the CAMA Wilmington Regional Office immediately upon receipt from the applicant. On January 17, 1989, some 12 or 13 days later, Mr. Roberson sent a letter to Tere Barrett referring to CAMA Permit No. 89-0001 and stated that he was sending "an amended copy to Page A-2 of the accompanying drawings to that application showing changes..." A copy of that letter is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The LPO received no negative comments from the Wilmington Regional Office regarding the permit. The LPO was of the opinion that the project as proposed complied with all of the CAMA requirements for a minor permit and issued the Minor Development Permit under date of January 30, 1989. A copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Applicant obtained a building permit from the Town of Ocean Isle Beach. CAMA reimbursed the Town of Ocean Isle Beach for its services as the LPO in the amount of $560.00. A copy of the deposit slip from United Carolina Bank dated June 9, 1989 evidencing that payment is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Construction was commenced on the project by the Applicant in early 1991 with construction on schedule to be completed within the next month. The building project is approximately 90% complete at this point with the Applicant having expended at this point approximately 1.5 million dollars. On Tuesday, April 2, 1991, representatives of the Wilmington Regional Office came on site and stated that work on the project must stop because the Permit should not have been issued because in their view each building contained more than four Units. They also made some comment to the effect that the project contained more than one acre. 2. SPECIFICS AS APPLIED AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND: Ia) The One Acre or Less Area in the Project Question. It is true the Applicant owns in excess of one acre in this general location; however the adjacent properties do not constitute part of this project and further there has been no land disturbing activity beyond the project limits subsequent to the issuance of this permit or associated with the project. The dunes on the adjoining property have been flattened for some time preceding the application for this permit and had in fact been used by the public for parking and access to the beach with the permission of the Permittee. A temporary office trailer has been parked on the adjoining property and some materials have temporarily been stored on the adjoining property, but this does not in good faith constitute a part of this project sufficient to violate any of the regulations. .mil I'll rvur unrc lnteroretative Question The Applicant's architect with full knowledge of the Minor CAMA Permit regulations on this point concluded that the configuration of the rooms as he prepared on the plans complied with the four Unit requirement. On each floor, two suites were designed, one suite with three bedrooms and one suite with two bedrooms. The suites were made by making all of the rooms within each Unit or suite interconnecting. The regulations, of course, do not speak to the number of bedrooms in a Unit and therefore, the number of bedrooms in each Unit is irrelevant; neither do the regulations speak to how many accesses or entrances there may be to each bedroom constituting the Unit or for that matter how many entrances there may be into the Unit. Based upon this understanding, the architect discussed this matter with the LPO and presented him proposed drawings of the motel complex in advance of the application being submitted. The LPO was also of the opinion that was a correct interpretation of the regulations governing the issuance of a minor permit. Since it has come to the attention of the Applicant and to the LPO that the Wilmington Regional Office interprets the regulations differently, the Applicant and I, as the Applicant's Attorney, have discussed this matter with Mr. Roberson, the LPO, and he continues to hold the opinion that: (a) he followed the proper procedure in handlingthis application, and (b) his interpretation of the rules as applies to this project are accurate. The Applicant, their professional design consultants and the LPO have all acted with the knowledge of the regulations openly, above board and in good faith. Based upon the Permit and in good faith, the Applicant proceeded with construction and is in an extremely vulnerable position, all -in reliance on the Permit. POSITION OF THE PERMITTEE Whatever the merits of the disagreement between the Regional Office and the LPO regarding what constitutes a Unit under the regulations should not be used as a spring board to punish the Permit Holder. The Permit, by its terms, can be appealed at any time within 20 days of the issuing date. The 20 days has expired. Permit Holders must be able to rely upon the permits issued by the LPO or any other agent or employee of CAMA; otherwise, the business risk to developers is unacceptable. We are not dealing here with a set of facts in which the Permittee has been devious, under handed or in some way attempted to conceal the facts. Quite to the contrary, this Permit Holder was cautious to be certain that the Minor Development Permit requirements were met and agreed with by the LPO. Neither are we dealing with a circumstance in which the LPO does not have a history of a good tract record as the LPO. CONCLUSION If, after review, it is the opinion of the State Administrative Staff, that the interpretation by the LPO as applied to these facts are incorrect and that the correct interpretation has been made by Staff at the Wilmington Regional Office, then we suggest the proper procedure is to properly inform the LPOs of this interpretation to protect against future permits being issued under these circumstances. It certainly is not acceptable to penalize the Permittee who has in good faith relied upon the Permit and who would be seriously damaged by any other course of action. In this regard, it seems important to note that this issue has nothing to do with conditions to be protected under the minor permitting regulations. The buildings each exceed the 60 foot set back requirement and each contain less than the permitted square feet. The four Unit rule does not preclude the number of bedrooms that are contained in the buildings, the number of people that can be accomodated or any other safety or environmental factor. The issue solely rests upon and revolves around the definition of a Unit. Although the Permittee does not believe that a Soil and Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan is necessary, if it is felt that because a construction trailer and building materials have temporarily been stored on adjacent land owned by the Permittee, the Permittee will certainly file a plan with the appropriate agency. Finally, we request that no action be taken regarding this permit and that any action taken by Staff be designed to clarify the controversy regarding what constitutes a Unit under the regulations for a Minor Permit.

Cox and family acting through Sloane Realty, Inc. P.O. Box 345 Shallotte, North Carolina 28459 RE: Violation(s) of Coastal Area Management Act and CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-0001 Dear Mr. Anderson: I thank you and your clients for meeting.with me and other representatives of the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources to discuss this matter. I have, concluded that the information gathered by the Division of Coastal Management shows that Rae S. Cox and family acting through ploane Realty, Inc., have undertaken minor development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act and the Conditions of CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-0001. The investigation by the Division of Coastal Management has revealed that CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-0001 which was issued by the Local Permit Officer, Town of Ocean Isle Beach, authorizes the construction of a motel which violates the erosion setback requirement for large structures established by the Coastal Resources Commission in Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(4). Permit No. 89-0001 authorizes the construction of five motel buildings each containing ten units, and these buildings do not comply with the minimum 120 foot setback for motels with more than four units in Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(4). The Minor Development Permit was issued in violation of G.S. 113A-120(a)(8) which provides that a permit shall not be issued if it is inconsistent with the Rules adopted by the Coastal Resources Commission. The Division's investigation has also revealed violations of the Conditions attached to Permit No. 89-0001. Condition (1) has been violated because one of the buildings is being constructed P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 276117687 Telephone 919-733-2293 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer -2- within 60 feet of the first line of stable, natural vegetation. Condition (6) has been violated because one of the dunes has been breached, thus weakening its protective value. I hereby request that Rae S. Cox and family acting through Sloane Realty, Inc., and their agents and employees immediately CEASE AND DESIST all further construction of the five motel buildings which violates the above -cited provisions in the Coastal Area Management Act, Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission, and Conditions in CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 89-0001. This prohibition on any further construction includes any interior finishing work on the five motel buildings. In addition, I hereby request that these violations be restored to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management within 90 days of receipt of this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST pursuant to a restoration plan approved by the Division. In order to restore the violations, the number of units in each of the motel buildings must be reduced to four or less, all of the buildings must be located 60 feet or more landward of the first line of stable, natural vegetation, and the breached dune must be repaired and stabilized. An acceptable restoration plan shall be submitted to the Division of Coastal Management within ten days of receipt of this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST. A civil penalty may be assessed or an injunction or criminal penalty may be sought against anyone who violates the Coastal Area Management Act or the conditions of a CAMA Development Permit. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of $50.00 against all minor development violations. This is done to recoup some of the cost of investigating violations and/or to compensate 'the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a !higher penalty will be assessed will depend upon several factors, including the nature and area of the resources which were affected and the extent of the damage to them. If restoration of the violations is not undertaken or completed satisfactorily, a substantially higher civil penalty will be assessed and a court injunction will be sought ordering restoration. A separate penalty may be assessed for each day of a willful action or failure to act after notice of violation is given, and receipt of this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST constitutes receipt of a notice of violation. The provisions and rules governing civil penalties, injunctions, and criminal penalties are found in G.S. 113A-126 and Rule 15A NCAC 71 .0409. I should be contacted immediately about this matter. A site inspection will be made to determine whether this CEASE AND DESIST REQUEST has been complied with. Sinc rely, Rog e Schecter MEMORANDUM TO: William W. Cobey, Jr. Secretary of the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Roger Schecter Director of the Division of Coastal Management FROM: Mason H. Anderson Anderson & McLamb Attorneys at Law DATE: April 5, 1991 SUBJECT: Threatened Cease and Desist Order of the building project pursuant to CAMA Minor Permit No. 89-0001 issued in the name of Sloane Realty, Inc. and Rae S. Cox on January 30, 1989 FACTS 1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Rae S. Cox nd her family through Sloane Realty, Inc. of Ocean sle Beach are the owners of the lots located at Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick County, North Carolina as identified in the above -referenced Minor Development Permit and have been for a number of years. At one time there was a motel located on a portion of this property. The motel was removed because it was antiquated and the property has been vacant for a number of years. The family commenced plans for the development of the property in 1988. They became familiar with and conversant with the rules required to be complied with for a CAMA Minor Development Permit. They understood that the key requirements were: (a) a minimum setback of 60 feet; and (b) that no building in the project contain more than 5,000 square feet; and (c) there be no more than four Units in any building; and (d) there must be one acre or less in the project. Armed with this knowledge and with full intent to comply with these requirements, the Permittee instructed their architect to design a motel project within these guidelines. On January 4, 1989, Sloane Realty, Inc. and Rae S. Cox submitted the general information necessary to apply for a minor permit for the 1proposed project. A copy of the CAMA Permit application is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The application identified the lots and parcel of property on which the project was to be located. It indicated that there would be five buildings, each containing 4,997 square feet, and that the total area of the site was 36,450 square feet. The application was delivered to Druid Roberson, the Building Inspector for the Town of Ocean Isle Beach and the LPO, with authority in the municipality on the 4th day of January, 1989. The applicant also submitted detailed drawings to Mr. Roberson, the LPO, along with the application. The LPO, as is required, submitted the application together with the plans of the project to the CAMA Wilmington Regional Office immediately upon receipt from the applicant. On January 17, 1989, some 12 or 13 days later, Mr. Roberson sent a letter to Tere Barrett referring to CAMA Permit No. 89-0001 and stated that he was sending "an amended copy to page A-2 of the accompanying drawings to that application showing changes..." A copy of that letter is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The LPO received no negative comments from the Wilmington Regional Office regarding the permit. The LPO was of the opinion that the project as proposed complied with all of the CAMA requirements for a minor permit and issued the Minor Development Permit under date of January 30, 1989. A copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Applicant obtained a building permit from the Town of Ocean Isle Beach. CAMA reimbursed the Town of Ocean Isle Beach for its services as the LPO in the amount of $560.00. A copy of the deposit slip from United Carolina Bank dated June 9, 1989 evidencing that payment is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Construction was commenced on the project by the Applicant in early 1991 with construction on schedule to be completed within the next month. The building project is approximately 90% complete at this point with the Applicant having expended at this point approximately 1.5 million dollars. On Tuesday, April 2, 1991, representatives of the Wilmington Regional Office came on site and stated that work on the project must stop because the Permit should not have been issued because in their view each building contained more than four Units. They also made some comment to the effect that the project contained more than one acre. 2. SPECIFICS AS APPLIED AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND: (a,) The One Acre or Less Area in the Project Ouestion. It is true the Applicant owns in excess of one acre in this general location; however the adjacent properties do not constitute part of this project and further there has been no land disturbing activity beyond the project limits subsequent to the issuance of this permit or associated with the project. The dunes on the adjoining property have been flattened for some time preceding the application for this permit and had in fact been used by the public for parking and access to the beach with the permission of the Permittee. A temporary office trailer has been parked on the adjoining property and some materials have temporarily been stored on the adjoining property, but this does not in good faith constitute a part of this project sufficient to violate any of the regulations. (b) The Four Unit Interpretative Question The Applicant's architect with full knowledge of the Minor CAMA Permit regulations on this point concluded that the configuration of the rooms as he prepared on the plans complied with the four Unit requirement. On each floor, two suites were designed, one suite with three bedrooms and one suite with two bedrooms. The suites were made by making all of the rooms within each Unit or suite interconnecting. The regulations, of course, do not speak to the number of bedrooms in a Unit and therefore, the number of bedrooms in each Unit is irrelevant; neither do the regulations speak to how many accesses or entrances there may be to each bedroom constituting the Unit or for that matter how many entrances there may be into the Unit. Based upon this understanding, the architect discussed this matter with the LPO and presented him proposed drawings of the motel complex in advance of the application being submitted. The LPO was also of the opinion that was a correct interpretation of the regulations governing the issuance of a minor permit. Since it has come to the attention of the Applicant and to the LPO that the Wilmington Regional Office interprets the regulations differently, the Applicant and I, as the Applicant's Attorney, have discussed this matter with Mr. Roberson, the LPO, and he continues to hold the opinion that: (a) he followed the proper procedure in handling this application, and (b) his interpretation of the rules as applies to this project are accurate. The Applicant, their professional design consultants and the LPO have all acted with the knowledge of the regulations openly, above board and in good faith. Based upon the Permit and in good faith, the Applicant proceeded with construction and is in an extremely vulnerable position, all in reliance on the Permit. POSITION OF THE PERMITTEE Whatever the merits of the disagreement between the Regional Office and the LPO regarding what constitutes a Unit under the regulations should not be used as a spring board to punish the Permit Holder. The Permit, by its terms, can be appealed at any time within 20 days of the issuing date. The 20 days has expired. Permit Holders must be able to rely upon the permits issued by the LPO or any other agent or employee of CAMA; otherwise, the business risk to developers is unacceptable. We are not dealing here with a set of facts in which the Permittee has been devious, under handed or in some way attempted to conceal the facts. Quite to the contrary, this Permit Holder was cautious to be certain that the Minor Development Permit requirements were met and agreed with by the LPO. Neither are we dealing with a circumstance in which the LPO does not have a history of a good tract record as the LPO. CONCLUSION If, after review, it is the opinion of the State Administrative Staff, that the interpretation by the LPO as applied to these facts are incorrect and that the correct interpretation has been made by Staff at the Wilmington Regional Office, then we suggest the proper procedure is to properly inform the LPOs of this interpretation to protect against future permits being issued under these circumstances. It certainly is not acceptable to penalize the Permittee who has in good faith relied upon the Permit and who would be seriously damaged by any other course of action. In this regard, it seems important to note that this issue has nothing to do with conditions to be protected under the minor permitting regulations. The buildings each exceed the 60 foot set back requirement and each contain less than the permitted square feet. The four Unit rule does not preclude the number of bedrooms that are contained in the buildings, the number of people that can be accomodated or any other safety or environmental factor. The issue solely rests upon and revolves around the definition of a Unit. Although the Permittee does not believe that a Soil and Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan is necessary, if it is felt that because a construction trailer and building materials have temporarily been stored on adjacent land owned by the Permittee, the Permittee will certainly file a plan with the appropriate agency. Finally, we request that no action be taken regarding this permit and that any action taken by Staff be designed to clarify the controversy regarding what constitutes a Unit under the regulations for a Minor Permit.

AEC HAZARD NOTICE YOUR PROJECT IS IN AN: , OCEAN ERODIBLE AREA v HIGH HAZARD FLOOD AREA This notice is intended to make you, the appli- cant, aware of the special risks and conditions associated with development in this area, which is subject to natural hazards such as storms, erosion or currents. The rules of the Coastal Resources Commission require that you receive an AEC hazard notice and acknowledge that notice in writing before any permit for development in this area can be issued. The Commission's rules on building standards, oceanfront setbacks and dune alteration are designed to minimize, but not totally eliminate, property losses from the hazards. By granting permits, the Coastal Resources Commission does not guarantee the safety of the development and assumes no liability for future damage to the development. The best available information, as accepted by the Coastal Resources Commission, indicates that the annual ocean erosion rate for the area where your property is locate is feet per year. your ff Date — INLET HAZARD AREA This figure was established by careful analysis of aerial photographs of the coastline taken over the past 30 to 40 years. Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move as much asa2 6 feet landward in a major storm. The flood waters in a I storm are predic- ted to be about Me fee - in this area. Preferred oceanfront protection measures are beach nourishment projects and relocation of threatened structures. Hard erosion protection structures such as wooden bulkheads, seawalls, rock and rubble revetments, wooden, metal, concrete or rock jetties, groins and breakwaters, concrete -filled sandbags and tire structures are prohibited. Sandbag bulkheads or groins, beach nourishment, beach bulldozing, and low intensity off -shore passive sandtrapping devices may be p iss ble under certain,;onditions. Apblicam's Signature The applicant must acknowledge receipt of this information by signing this nduce in the space above. Without the proper signature, the application will not be complete. SPECIAL NOTE: This hazard notice is required for development in areas subject to sudden and massive storms and erosion. Permits issued in this area expire on December 31 of the third year following the year in which the permit was issued. Shortly before work begins on the project site, the Local Permit Officer will determine the vegetation line and setback distance at that particular site. If the property has seen little change and the proposed development can still meet the setback requirement the LPO will inform you that you may begin development. It is important that you check with the LPO before the permit expires for official approval to continue work after your permit expires. Gener-. ally, if foundation pilings have been placed and substantial progress is continuing, permit renewal may not be necessary. If substantial progress has not been made the permit must be renewed and a new setback may be applied. IT IS UNLAWFUL TO CONTINUE WORK AFTER PERMIT EXPIRATION WITHOUT THIS APPROVAL.
