RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT
CAMA MINOR VIOLATION #17-16A
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Keeter:
This letter confirms that on August 3, 2017, 1 was onsite at your property located at 148 Willow Street, Snug
Harbor Subdivision, in Perquimans County, adjacent to a man-made canal. The initial purpose of the visit
was to look at a bulkhead replacement with your contractor Joe Riddick. While onsite I observed that
unauthorized development had been undertaken within the 75' Area of Environmental Concern. The
development in question included a deck addition constructed —34' from normal water level (NWL) and a
porch addition constructed —60' from NWL. This letter also confirms our phone conversation regarding the
matter on August 30, 2017.
Information gathered by me shows that you did undertake minor development in violation of the Coastal Area
Management Act. No person may undertake minor development in a designated Area of Environmental
Concern without first obtaining a permit from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality per
North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 11 3A-1 18.
You are legally responsible for the minor development by constructing two residential additions within 75' of
a man-made canal on the aforementioned property. This activity took place within the Estuarine Shoreline
which is contiguous with the adjacent man-made canal and the Yeopim River, a designated Areas of
Environmental Concern (AEC). No permit was issued to you for work in this area, and as such I am initiating
an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act
I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further unauthorized development. A civil
assessment of up to $1,000 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 $1,000. An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to enforce any violation in
accordance with N.C.G.S. 11 3A-1 26.
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. Therefore, restoration of the impacted area is not requested at this
time.
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. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important
matter.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Keeter:
ROY COOPER

MICHAEL REGAN
Secretary
BRAXTON DAVIS
Director
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated August 30, 2017, that Lynn Mathis, Field Specialist
for the Division of Coastal Management, issued to you for unauthorized construction of a deck addition -34'
from normal water level (NWL) and a porch addition constructed -60' from NWL, along a man-made canal
at 148 Willow Street, off the Albemarle Sound, in Snug Harbor, Perquimans County.
The violation involved the Estuarine Shoreline, which is an Area of Environmental Concern designated by
the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon review of the Coastal Area Management Act, Coastal
Resource Commission's rules, and the local jurisdiction's Land Use Plan, the activity you have undertaken
appears consistent with the guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern. Therefore, restoration of the
impacted area is not requested at this time.
The Coastal Area Management Act does provide that a civil assessment of up to $1,000.00 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 $237.00 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 $237.00 made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ); 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.
If you do not send a signed agreement and payment to this office within ten (10) days, the Director of the
Division of Coastal Management will formally assess a civil penalty against you. You will then have the
opportunity to request a hearing on the penalty or request settlement of the penalty.
