The violation involved the Public Trust and Estuarine Waters, which are Areas of Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon several site visits to define the normal high water contour, and a waiver of the riparian corridor setback dated May 19, 2005, and submitted on May 25, 2005, by Ms. Terry Parker-Eakes, Beaufort Town Manager, the restoration requested appears to be complete to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management.

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 Resource Commission, a proposed civil penalty in the amount of $500.00 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.

SHEFFIELD, JR. (252) 672-5507 Fax (252) 672-5477 the@wardandsmith.com COPY This letter responds to the Notice of Violation ("NOV") dated January 21, 2005 issued to the Town of Beaufort, c/o Mr. Haywood Weeks concerning construction of a set of floating docks along Front Street in Beaufort ("the Beaufort Docks"). After discussing this matter with you and Mr. Mark Hardeman in your office on January 21, 2005, and further reviewing the facts surrounding this permit and dock construction project details, we believe that the new floating decks as constructed could have been permitted and, therefore, we ask that resolution of this matter be governed by 15A N.C. Admin. Code § 7J .0409(f)(4) for the following reasons: 1. The applicant is the Town of Beaufort. The Beaufort Docks are part of the series of docks that make up the Beaufort historic waterfront area. The Beaufort Docks are owned by the Town and operated under lease by Mr. Weeks for use by the general public. The availability of these docks will help support and promote tourism in Beaufort and provide revenues for the Town. In short, the Beaufort Docks provide substantial public benefits. 2. The docks are within the general footprint of the Beaufort waterfront docks area, which extends from the west end of Beaufort ,down Front Street to the east -- Well past this location. Boats of all varieties have been part of the visual landscape a 1001 COLLEGE COURT PO BOX 867 NEW BERN, NC 28563-0867 GREENVILLE NEW BERN RALEIGH .. WILMINGTON (252)215-4000 (252)672-5400 (919)836-4260 _ (910)794-4800 WARD AND SMITH, P.A. Ms. Tere Barrett January 25, 2005 Page 2 DTR JAN 2 6 2005 Morehead City DCM all the properties along Front Street for many years. Indeed, the area of the docks under discussion has been a boat basin for use by boaters visiting Beaufort for over 20 years. 3. As discussed further below, we believe the docks are more than 15 feet from the riparian area of any separate adjoining riparian property owner. Accordingly, no waiver by any adjoining riparian property owner in that area appears to have been necessary in order for the Beaufort Docks to be permitted for the additional % in dock length.,( °) 4. In any case, in good faith our client provided notice to BB&T on the understanding that they were the next adjoining property owner. As you will recall, BB&T was noticed during the CAMA Major Development permitting process for these docks in 2002 without objection from anyone. Our client assumed that the same procedure used by the applicant and approved by your office during the Major Development permit process should be used last year for the General Permit, which involves replacing the same docks authorized by the CAMA Major Development Permit. As we discussed last Friday, in our view Mr. Robert Stephens does not appear to have any land on the water side of Front Street and the Town bulkhead. At most, he may have only a very small sliver of mudflat at the foot of the Town bulkhead. We do not believe he has any land at r present above the mean high water line for several reasons. First, there are oysters growing on the Town bulkhead in front of the Stephens property. Oysters do not grow above the mean high J water line. Second, considerable marsh grass is present directly in front of the Town bulkhead. To the extent any marsh grass is present in this general area with the characteristics of grasses that can survive above the mean high water line, such grass is believed to be located on the adjoining property to the east -- not in front of the Stephens property. The adjoining property, which apparently is owned by the Town, begins several feet west of the Lookout Express/Mystery pier. Thus, the small area of land where some grass is present in the comer nearest the pier is believed to be on the Town's rather than Stephens' property. In any case, the tiny sliver of mudflat in front of the Stephens property does not extend the full width of his property. It appears to extend only about half the width of his lot. Accordingly, as you indicated during our discussion, it would appear that the Town, as owner of Front Street, would be the next adjoining riparian property owner to the east of the project area. If that is correct, then Mr. Stephens' riparian corridor does not coincide with his western property line, but extends from the channel to the point where this tiny sliver of purported high ground begins to the east. My inspection of the site indicates that the point where this tiny sliver begins is more than 15 feet east of the project area. Accordingly, it does not appear to us that our client was or is required to obtain a setback waiver from Mr. Stephens in order to extend the length of WARD AND SMITH, P.A. Ms. Tere Barrett January 25, 2005 Page 3 JAN 2 6 Z005 Morehead City DCM the docks an additional 10 feet. The end of the docks is considerably more than 15 feet from Mr. Stephens' purported riparian corridor. We would also note that, to our knowledge, no one complained to the Division of Coastal Management about the additional length during the construction of the docks. Since the docks were completed, there has been nothing but praise from the general public about the new docks. It is interesting that concern has arisen only now -- several months after completion of the project. In conclusion, both the Town and Mr. Weeks very much wish to resolve this matter in an expeditious and cooperative manner. Accordingly, we ask that you consider the above comments and advise us how this situation can be resolved. We look forward to speaking with you about how we mutually can achieve that end.

Ross Jr., Secretary NOTICE OF VIOLATION January 21, 2005 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Town of Beaufort C/o Mr. Haywood Weeks 500 Front Street Beaufort, NC 28516 RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO . CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT - CAMA VIOLATION #05-02C Dear Mr. Weeks: This letter confirms that on December 28, 2004, Mr. Mark Hardeman and Mr. Ryan Davenport, Coastal Management Representatives for the Division of Coastal Management were onsite at your property located at 500 Front Street, known as The Beaufort Docks, within the Town of Beaufort, Carteret County, North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized development in the form of expansion of the existing marina within the Taylor's Creek. Again, on December 30, 2004, Mr. Mark Hardeman and I visited the site to confirm the normal high water.. contour line, and to take measurements of the newly replaced dock. Information gathered by me for the NC Division of Coastal Management shows that you have violated the terms or conditions of State Permit No. 36765-C which was issued to the Town of Beaufort, C/o Mr. Haywood Weeks, by the Coastal Resources Commission and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. I hereby request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST such violations and comply with the terms and conditions of the above permit. On 12/22/03, State Permit No. 36765-C was issued to the Town of Beaufort, C/o Mr. Haywood Weeks for the replacement of the fixed docks with floating docks on the east end of the marina within Taylor's Creek Public Trust Waters. This development was to take place on property located in Carteret County, North Carolina, at 500 Front Street, Beaufort, NC. The permit was issued for a CAMA Major Development in an Area of Environmental Concern, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. This permit included the following terms and conditions: 1. The marina was to be replaced within the existing marina footprint, except that it could be moved 10' waterward to align with the other marina docks. 151-B Hwy. 24, Hestron Plaza II, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-28081 FAX: 252-247-33301 Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer-50% Recycled 110% Post Consumer Paper Town of Beaufort Page 02 January 21, 2005 2. The permit prohibited the creation of new slips or the enlarging of existing slips. 3. The development as proposed was for a 232' x 8' main dock. These dimensions are reflected on the submitted plat stamped received on December 19, 2003, and are as authorized in the permit. 4. The permit is attached to conditions T15A NCAC 07H .2000, which states that all development activity must be setback 15' from adjacent riparian corridor lines unless such is waived by the adjacent riparian property owner. 5. The General Permit is issued contingent upon the accuracy of all information submitted by the applicant. For the following reasons, you are in violation of the above terms and conditions of your permit: 1. The docks as constructed exceed the pre-existing marina footprint to the east by 10'. 2. The main dock as constructed is 242' in length. 3. The additional 10' in length has either enlarged slips or created a new slip. 4. The additional 10' appears to be, and has been reported to be, within the 15' required setback from the adjacent riparian corridor, and no waiver has been submitted. 5. One of the two signatures/notifications of the adjacent riparian property owners that are required for the issuance of a General Permit was not that of the adjacent riparian property owner, making State Permit 36765-C void from the date of issuance. 6. A mooring piling has been installed at some point in time to the east of the marina footprint and within the 15' required riparian corridor setback on the mainland side of the marina with no evidence of authorization. If the terms and conditions of a permit are not complied with, the permit is null and void from the date of its issuance. In order to determine if the aforementioned development activity may have been permitted via the CAMA Permit process and to determine if the activity is consistent with the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, 07H State Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern, I am requesting that Mr. Haywood Weeks, as the responsible party, provide the Division with the following: 1. Provide written signatures of no objection or Certified Mail Return Receipts of notification from the adjacent riparian neighbor to the east. 2. Provide a waiver of the required 15' riparian corridor setback for the current development from the adjacent riparian property owner to the east. Please note that if the above -referenced information is not submitted within a reasonable timeframe, the development will be deemed inconsistent with state guidelines, and will have to be restored to the previously authorized dimensions and configuration. A civil penalty of up to Twenty -Five Hundred Dollars ($2500) may be assessed, or an injunction or criminal penalty may be sought against any person who violates a CAMA Major Development permit. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of $500.00 against all violations of this type. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating Town of Beaufort Page 03 January21, 2005 violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a higher amount will be assessed will depend on several factors, including the nature and area of the resources that were affected and the extent of the damage to them. If restoration of the affected resources is requested but is not undertaken or completed satisfactorily, a substantially higher civil penalty will be assessed and a court injunction will be sought ordering restoration (N.C.G.S. 113A- 126). The relevant statutes and regulations are available from this office, and I am willing to assist you in complying with the requirements of these laws. A site inspection will be made in the near future to determine whether this REQUEST TO CEASE AND DESIST has been complied with. I request that you contact me immediately. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. If you have any questions about this or related matters, please call me at 252 808-2808. Upon submittal of all required information showing that your development is consistent with T15A NCAC 07H, or completion of restoration to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management, you will be notified as to the amount of the civil assessment for failure to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of your permit.

Ross Jr., Secretary Town of Beaufort June 25, 2005 C/o Mr. Haywood Weeks 500 Front Street Beaufort, NC 28516 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED RE:RESTORATION ACCEPTANCE - CAMA VIOLATION #05.02C Dear Mr. Weeks: This letter is in reference to the Notice of violation # 05-02C sent to you dated January 21, 2005 for the unauthorized expansion of the marina known as The Beaufort Docks. This development is located at 500 Front Street, Beaufort, Carteret County, NC, adjacent to Taylor's Creek. This unauthorized activity constituted development and you were requested to restore to an acceptable and statutorily consistent condition. In accordance with the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0410, any violation involving development which is inconsistent with guidelines for development within Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) must be corrected. This restoration is necessary to bring the project into compliance with Subchapter 7H Guidelines governing coastal development. I have visited the site on several occasions of normal high tides, and have determined that the property shown on the city tax records as being owned by Mr. Robert Stephens, located on the south side of Front Street and to the east side of The Beaufort Docks, is flooded during normal high fides. Mr. Stephens is therefore no longer entifled to the riparian rights afforded a property owner with high ground abutting the normal high water contour. Accordingly, the property owner that currently has high ground abutting the normal high water line of Taylor's Creek is afforded the riparian rights. Based on city tax records, the property that is now affected during phases of normal high tides is the Front Street R.O.W, owned by the Town of Beaufort. Consequently, the waiver of the required 15' riparian corridor setback is required from the Town.

Even in the later leases and deeds, reference is made to "...all land on the southside of Front Street ..." in the various property descriptions. All land on the southside of Front Street would include everything south of The road right-of-way line, which would include the bulkhead and possibly even the sidewalk. Based on this analysis, BWE is the long-term lessee of the adjoining riparian property (the bulkhead) and, therefore. would appear to be the proper parry To wive its setback. Just a Thought for you to consider! However, if you feel assured That Town approval will be forthcoming at the May 9th Board meeting, we will leave it To your judgmaent as to whether use of the above analysis or Taking This To the Town Board is the better course of action. Hearing nothing further from you, we will assume that you feel comfortable going the Town Board route and that you have coordinated This matter with Terri Parker-Eakes- Thanks for your paTience in getting This matter resolved.

M., April 21, 2005 Operator.• ltil(-1� COMMENTS: Tere, with reference to my fax message earlier today, a correction is needed. Upon further review, the property description in the 1978 lease does NOT appear to include the bulkhead after all. However, the property descriptions in each of the later documents, including dte current lease between BWE and the Town, does include all the area on the southside of Front Street. As stated in my earliec fax, that area would appear to include the bulkhead, since the road right-of-way is not believed to extend to the water. So, we still believe that BWE's current lease encompasses the bulkhead in front of the Stephens property across Front Street and that J3WE is in £act the proper party to waive its setback. l just wanted to convey this correction re the 1978 lease.

Please reference documents 4, 9, 10, and 12 of our April 1, 2005 submittal. Doc. 4. Sublease from Inlet Inn Associates to BWE. Exhibit A of Doc. 4 shows the area covered by the lease to include the entire area in front of Robert Stephens house (see dotted line). This is the "adjoining property" to the docks projecL Doc. 9. Quitclaim Deed and Bill of Sale from Inlet Inn Associates ("IIA") to BWE. This confirms that BWE acquired all of the IIA's interest in this area. Doc. 10. Deed and Bill of Sale from BWE to Town of Beaufort. This shows that the property was sold by BWE to the Town. Doc. 12. Lease Mod and Extension between the Town and BWE. This shows that BWE has a long-term lease with the Town which currently runs to 2013. Hence, by virtue to being a long-term lease holder for the area Immediately adjoining the project area, BWE is the proper party to waive Its setback. As evidenced by the waiver form signed by Haywood Weeks dated March 31, 2005, which appears as the final document in our submittal, BWE has in fact waived it setback rights to the Town's docks as built. I will call you shortly to follow up on this fax and will be more than happy to meet with you today at your office as necessary. Regards.

We accomplished the first, and the resulting letter from Mr. John Young, Public Works Director for the Town of Beaufort, is enclosed for your information. However, the Beaufort Board of Commissioners was not able to add our request to the agenda for its meeting of March 21, 2005, due to the last minute nature of our request, and we will not be able to schedule an appearance until mid -May or even later, due to people's schedules. In the meantime, I consulted with one of our real estate specialists who pointed out that the title history of the Town's properties along the Beaufort waterfront reveals that Beaufort Waterfront Enterprises, Inc. holds leases dating back to 1978 from the Town of Beaufort with respect to the Inlet Inn docks property (see enclosed). The current lease runs through 2013. As you will note, the property description in the lease includes the area in front of Mr. Robert Stephens' house "except for the 66-foot tract on the south side of Front Street owned by Mr. Stephens which consists of the west one-half of Lot 260 and the east one-half of Lot 261, Old Town." (emphasis added) Since Mr. Stephens' property no longer includes any upland property on the south side of Front Street due to the long-term effects of erosion, the Town of Beaufort owns the uninterrupted stretch of property along the entire waterfront as far east as the Eury property (including the area in front of Mr. Stephens' house), which in turn has been leased to Beaufort Waterfront Enterprises, Inc. on a long-term basis. 1001 COLLEGE COURT PO BOX 867 NEW BERN, NC 28563-0867 GREENVILLE NEW BERN RALEIGH WILMINGTON (252)215-4000 (252)672-5400 (919)836-4260 (910)794-4800 WARD AND SMITH, P.A. Ms. Tere Barrett April 1, 2005 Page 3 Accordingly, based on long-established CAMA policies, Beaufort Waterfront Enterprises, Inc., as the holder of a long-term lease for the area immediately adjacent to the project site, is the appropriate entity to waive its 15-foot setback rights with respect to the new docks owned by the Town of Beaufort. As indicated by the enclosed waiver form signed by Mr. Haywood Weeks, Beaufort Waterfront Enterprises, Inc. hereby waives its riparian setback rights with respect to the Town docks. In conclusion, we respectfully request that this matter be closed without further action by the Town or the Department, because the docks as constructed could have been approved originally under CAMA rules as a result of a setback waiver by the adjacent riparian owner.

Henderson Henderson, Baxter, Taylor & Gatchel, P.A. PO Drawer U New Bern, NC 28563 COPY RE: Beaufort Docks Project Our File 900583-00005-001 Dear Mr. Henderson: This letter will confirm the request made during my meetings on February 7, 2005 with Mr. Robert Stephens and his son, Paul, and subsequently with you. Our client's request is that Mr. Stephens indicate that he has no objection to the floating docks constructed along Front Street in Beaufort remaining as built. We are making this request as a courtesy at the suggestion of Division of Coastal Management staff. In our view, waiver of Mr. Stephens' riparian rights, if any, is not required in this situation. This whole situation appears to result from a misunderstanding about who is the adjoining property owner based on information from an old tax map. The tax map shows a small sliver of Mr. Stephens' property on the water side of the Town bulkhead above the mean high water line, which investigation reveals no longer exists. Accordingly, our client provided notice to BB&T as the adjoining property owner rather than Mr. Stephens. We would very much appreciate Mr. Stephens' cooperation in this matter. We look forward to receiving a reply from you in the near future. Yours very truly, Frank H. Sheffield, Jr. FHS:rlc NBMAIN\621096\1 / cc: Ms. Tere Barrett) Mr. Haywood Weeks Mr. J.

SHEFFIELD, JR. (252) 672-5507 Fax (252) 672-5477 fhs@wardandsmith.com RICE JAN 2 6 2005 Morehead City I)C44 This letter responds to the Notice of Violation ("NOV") dated January 21, 2005 issued to the Town of Beaufort, c/o Mr. Haywood Weeks concerning construction of a set of floating docks along Front Street in Beaufort ("the Beaufort Docks"). After discussing this matter with you and Mr. Mark Hardeman in your office on January 21, 2005, and further reviewing the facts surrounding this permit and dock construction project details, we believe that the new floating docks as constructed could have been permitted and, therefore, we ask that resolution of this matter be governed by 15A N.C. Admin. Code § 7J .0409(f)(4) for the following reasons: 1. The applicant is the Town of Beaufort. The Beaufort Docks are part of the series of docks that make up the Beaufort historic waterfront area. The Beaufort Docks are owned by the Town and operated under lease by Mr. Weeks for use by the general public. The availability of these docks will help support and promote tourism in Beaufort and provide revenues for the Town. In short, the Beaufort Docks provide substantial public benefits. 2. The docks are within the general footprint of the Beaufort waterfront docks area, which extends from the west end of Beaufort down Front Street to the east -- well past this location. Boats of all varieties have been part of the visual landscape of 1001 COLLEGE COURT PO BOX 867 NEW BERN, NC 28563-0867 GREENVII t F NEW BERN RALEIGH (252) 2154000 (252) 672-5400 (919) 8364260 WIIMINGTON (910) 7944800 WARD AND SMITH, P.A. Ms. Tere Barrett January 25, 2005 Page 2 EVED JAN 2 6 2005 Morehead City DCM all the properties along Front Street for many years. Indeed, the area of the docks under discussion has been a boat basin for use by boaters visiting Beaufort for over 20 years. 3. As discussed further below, we believe the docks are more than 15 feet from the riparian area of any separate adjoining riparian property owner. Accordingly, no waiver by any adjoining riparian property owner in that area appears to have been necessary in order for the Beaufort Docks to be permitted for the additional 5% in dock length. 4. In any case, in good faith our client provided notice to BB&T on the understanding that they were the next adjoining property owner. As you will recall, BB&T was noticed during the CAMA Major Development permitting process for these docks in 2002 without objection from anyone. Our client assumed that the same procedure used by the applicant and approved by your office during the Major Development permit process should be used last year for the General Permit, which involves replacing the same docks authorized by the CAMA Major Development Permit. As we discussed last Friday, in our view Mr. Robert Stephens does not appear to have any land on the water side of Front Street and the Town bulkhead. At most, he may have only a very small sliver of mudflat at the foot of the Town bulkhead. We do not believe he has any land at present above the mean high water line for several reasons. First, there are oysters growing on the Town bulkhead in front of the Stephens property. Oysters do not grow above the mean high water line. Second, considerable marsh grass is present directly in front of the Town bulkhead. To the extent any marsh grass is present in this general area with the characteristics of grasses that can survive above the mean high water line, such grass is believed to be located on the adjoining property to the east -- not in front of the Stephens property. The adjoining property, which apparently is owned by the Town, begins several feet west of the Lookout Express/Mystery pier. Thus, the small area of land where some grass is present in the comer nearest the pier is believed to be on the Town's rather than Stephens' property. In any case, the tiny sliver of mudflat in front of the Stephens property does not extend the full width of his property. It appears to extend only about half the width of his lot. Accordingly, as you indicated during our discussion, it would appear that the Town, as owner of Front Street, would be the next adjoining riparian property owner to the east of the project area. If that is correct, then Mr. Stephens' riparian corridor does not coincide with his western property line, but extends from the channel to the point where this tiny sliver of purported high ground begins to the east. My inspection of the site indicates that the point where this tiny sliver begins is more than 15 feet east of the project area. Accordingly, it does not appear to us that our client was or is required to obtain a setback waiver from Mr. Stephens in order to extend the length of WARD AND SMITH, P.A. RIF 1��IIVI1' j� Ms. Tere Barrett JAN 2 6 2005 January 25, 2005 Page 3 Morehead City DCM the docks an additional 10 feet. The end of the docks is considerably more than 15 feet from Mr. Stephens' purported riparian corridor. We would also note that, to our knowledge, no one complained to the Division of Coastal Management about the additional length during the construction of the docks. Since the docks were completed, there has been nothing but praise from the general public about the new docks. It is interesting that concern has arisen only now -- several months after completion of the project. In conclusion, both the Town and Mr. Weeks very much wish to resolve this matter in an expeditious and cooperative manner.

LANDLORD through its Board of Commissioners duly expressed its intent to extend the Lease and modify it in accordance with the 2 preceding paragraph, caused a publication of notice of such intent. to be made, held a public hearing on the question, and following Aw the public hearing approved the extension of the Lease with the further qualification that during each year of the Lease, including its extended term, the rent will be adjusted upward in accordance with the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of Labor, but not providing for an adjustment downward in the event of a decrease in the consumer Price Index. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the sum of TEN ($10.00) DOLLARS by TENANT to•LANDLORD paid, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, LANDLORD and TENANT do agree as follows: 1. The Lease between LANDLORD and TENANT referred to above is hereby amended to provide that it shall be extended through and including August 31, 2003. 2. The rental to be paid by TENANT to LANDLORD beginning with the Lease year from September 1, 1993 to August 31, 1994, shall be TWENTY-NINE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FORTY AND 00/100 ($29,440.00) DOLLARS, which rental shall be paid in monthly installments in advance of TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY-THREE AND 34/100 ($2,453.34) DOLLARS beginning on or before September 1, 1993 and continuing on or before the first day of each and every calendar month thereafter during the Lease term and any authorized extension thereof. 3. TENANT shall make improvements to the docks and piers in the demised area to change one (1) or more of these docks and piers 0 3 to floating docks at a cost of not less than SIXTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 ($60,000.00) DOLLARS. Before embarking upon improvementssuch , TENANT shall submit to LANDLORD plans and specifications for such improvements and obtain LANDLORDIS approval thereof, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld. TENANT shall submit to LANDLORD evidence satisfactory to LANDLORD that the cost of such improvements have at least equaled SIXTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 ($60,000.00) DOLLARS. These improvements shall be completed on or before the 31st day of August, 1998, upon failure of which this Extension of Lease shall be null and void without further action by LANDLORD. 4. During each year of the Lease term and any authorized extension thereof beginning with the Lease year starting on September 1, 1994, the rental to be paid by TENANT to LANDLORD shall be adjusted upwardly in accordance with the increase with the COnsumer,Prlce index for All Items for All Urban Consumers (1982_ 84=100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (hereinafter called the "Index") . Rental for each Lease year shall be determined as follows: A. (1) As promptly as practicable after the end of each lease year of this Lease (hereinafter sometimes called the "Lease Year", the Lease Year ending August 31, 1994 being called the "Base Year"), LANDLORD shall compute the increase, if any, in the cost of living based upon the Index. (2) The Index number for September, 1993, the first month of the Base Year, shall be the "Base Index Number" and the u 4 corresponding Index number for the first month of the Lease Year for which rent is being determined shall be the "Current Index Number." (3) The Current Index Number shall be divided by the Base Index Number. From the quotient thereof, there shall be subtracted the integer 1, and any resulting positive number shall be deemed to be the percentage of increase in the cost of living. (4) The percentage of increase multiplied by TWENTY- NINE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FORTY AND 00/100 ($29,440.00) DOLLARS, the annual rent specified for the Base Year, shall be the increase determined by the requirements of this provision regarding rental for the Lease year for which rent is being determined. (5) LANDLORD shall, within a reasonable time after obtaining the appropriate data necessary for computing such increase, give the TENANT notice of any increase so determined, and the LANDLORDIS computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding, (but shall not preclude any adjustment which may be required in the event of a published amendment of the Index figures upon which the computation was based),. unless the TENANT shall, within sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice, notify LANDLORD in writing of any claimed error therein. Any dispute between the parties as to any such computation shall be determined by arbitration, with LANDLORD selecting one (1) arbiter, TENANTselecting one (1) arbiter, and these two (2) arbiters selecting a third arbiter, and the decision of any two (2) or more arbiters shall be final and binding upon the partihs, and LANDLORD and TENANT shall pay equally 5 any costs involved in such arbitration. B. The rent, as so determined (i.e., the annual rent specified for the Base Year and the "increase" calculated in accordance with the provision for calculating rent for all Lease Years except the Base Year) shall be the rental to be paid during the Lease Year for which rent is then being calculated. Any rent due for any period which elapses before the LANDLORD has provided TENANT with the new rent figure will be due and payable within thirty (30) days after TENANT has notice of the new rental figure. In the interim, TENANT will continue to pay the monthly rental which has been paid up until that time. If it is later determined that the rental as calculated by LANDLORD is erroneous, the party found to owe the other any sum as additional rent or as a refund for rent overpaid shall make payment of such sum within thirty (30) days of notice of such sum being due. C. If publication of the Index shall be discontinued, the parties hereto shall thereafter accept comparable statistics on the cost of living as they shall be computed and published by an agency of the United States of America or by a responsible financial i periodical of recognized authority then to be selected by the parties hereto, or, if the parties cannot agree upon a selection, by arbitration as provided above. In the event of (1) •use of comparable statistics in place of the Index as above mentioned, or (2) publication of the Index figure at other than monthly intervals, there shall be made in the method of computation herein '•� provided for such revision as the circumstances may require to E carry out the intent of this provision regarding rental adjustment, and any dispute between the parties as to the making of such adjustment shall be determined by arbitration as above provided. 5. Beginning with September 1, 1998, TENANT shall make available to LANDLORD all of TENANT'S books and records regarding its income and expenses and all other business records of its operations at and from the leased premises. LANDLORD may inspect or audit all such records at all reasonable times during regular working hours. 6. Except as herein specifically or by necessary implication modified, the aforesaid Lease dated August 29, 1978, as amended by the Assignment dated November 21, 1979, and the Agreement and Amendment of Lease dated August 27, 1987, shall remain in full force and effect. 7.

Ross Jr., Secretary CERTIFIED MAIL `lWq -, nC- G00.3- 9641 -q8%(0 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED RE:RESTORATION ACCEPTANCE - CAMA VIOLATION #05.02C Dear Mr. Weeks: June 25, 2005 This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation # 05-02C sent to you dated January 21, 2005 for the unauthorized expansion of the marina known as The Beaufort Docks. This development is located at 500 Front Street, Beaufort, Carteret County, NC, adjacent to Taylor's Creek. This unauthorized activity constituted development and you were requested to restore to an acceptable and statutorily consistent condition. In accordance with the North Carolina Administrative Code; Title 15A, Subchapter 7J.0410, any violation involving development which is inconsistent with guidelines for development within Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) must be corrected. This restoration is necessary to bring the project into compliance with Subchapter 7H Guidelines governing coastal development. I have visited the site on several occasions of normal high tides, and have determined that the property shown on the city tax records as being owned by Mr. Robert Stephens, located on the south side of Front Street and to the east side of The Beaufort Docks, is flooded during normal high tides. Mr. Stephens is therefore no longer entitled to the riparian rights afforded a property owner with high ground abutting the normal high water contour. Accordingly, the property owner that currently has high ground abutting the normal high water line of Taylor's Creek is afforded the riparian rights. Based on city tax records, the property that is now affected during phases of normal high tides is the Front Street R.O.W, owned by the Town of Beaufort. Consequently, the waiver of the required 15' riparian corridor setback is required from the Town. Permission to allow the docks to remain as constructed was received from Ms. Terri Parker-Eakes, Town Manager, on May 25, 2005. With this information in hand, I now consider the restoration to be completed to the satisfaction of the Division. Soon to follow this correspondence, you will be notified as to the amount of the civil penalty for undertaking this unauthorized activity within an Area of Environmental concern. Thank you for your attention and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions pertaining to this matter, please feel free to call me at 808-2808. Sincerely, 9 k�-� . T.

Even in the later )eases and deeds, reference is made to "...all land on The southside of Front Suter ..." in the various property descriptions. All land on the southside of Front Street would include everything south of the road right-of-way line, which would include The bulkhead and possibly even the sidewalk. Based on This analysis, BWE is the long-term lessee of the adjoining riparian property (the bulkhead) and, therefore, would appear to be the proper parry To wive its setback. Just a Thought for you to consider! However, if you feel assured that Town approval will be forthcoming at the May 9rh Board meeting, we will leave it to your judgment as to whether use of the above analysis or raking this to the Town Board is the bener course of action. Hearing nothing further from you, we will assume that you feel comfortable going the Town Board route and that you have coordinated This matter with Terri Parker-Eakes- Thank, for your patience in gelling This [patter resolved.

Upon further review, the property description in the 1978 lease does NOT appear to include the bulkhead after all. However, the property descriptions in each of the later documents, including the current lease between 13WE and the Town, does include all the area on the southside of Front Street. As stated in my earlier fax; that area would appear to include the bulkhead, since the road righr-of-way is not believed to extend to the water. So, we still believe That AWE's current lease encompasses the bulkhead in front of the Stephens property across Front Street and that BWE is in fact the proper parry to waive its setback. 1 just wanted to convoy this correction re the 19781easc.

Please reference documents 4, 9, 10, and 12 of our April 1, 2005 submittal. Doc. 4. Sublease from Inlet Inn Associates to BWE. Exhibit A of_Doc. 4 shows the area covered by the tease to include the entire area in front of Robert Stephens house (see dotted line). This is the 'adjoining property' to the docks project Doc. 9. Quitclaim Deed and Bill of Sale from Inlet Inn Associates ("IIA") to OWE. This confirms that BWE acquired all of the IIA's interest In this area Doc. 10. Deed and Bill of Sale from BWE to Town of Beaufort. This shows that the property was sold by BWE to the Town. Doo.12. Lease Mod and Extension between the Town and BWE. This shows that BWE has a long-term lease with the Town which currently runs to 2013. Hence, by virtue fo being a long-term lease holder for the area immediately adjoining the project area, BWE is the proper parry to waive its setback. As evidenced by the waiver form signed by Haywood Weeks dated March 31, 2005, which appears as the final document In our submittal, BWE has in fact waived it setback rights to the Town's docks as built. I will call you shortly to follow up on this fax and will be more than happy to meet with you today at your office as necessary.

In response to our discussions concerning resolution of the Notice of Violation issued for the new Town docks along the Beaufort waterfront, we undertook to: (1) obtain a letter from the Town confirming that Front Street in the subject area is a town road; and (2) obtain a waiver of any riparian setback rights the Town may have as an adjacent riparian owner (based on the high tide line being at the Town bulkhead in the area immediately east of the project site). We accomplished the first, and the resulting letter from Mr. John Young, Public Works Director for the Town of Beaufort, is enclosed for your information. However, the Beaufort Board of Commissioners was not able to add our request to the agenda for its meeting of March 21, 2005, due to the last minute nature of our request, and we will not be able to schedule an appearance until mid -May or even later, due to people's schedules. In the meantime, I consulted with one of our real estate specialists who pointed out that the title history of the Town's properties along the Beaufort waterfront reveals that Beaufort Waterfront Enterprises, Inc. holds leases dating back to 1978 from the Town of Beaufort with respect to the Inlet Inn docks property (see enclosed). The current lease runs through 2013. As you will note, the property description in the lease includes the area in front of Mr. Robert Stephens' house "except for the 66-foot tract on the south side of Front Street owned by Mr. Stephens which consists of the west one-half of Lot 260 and the east one-half of Lot 261, Old Town." (emphasis added) Since Mr. Stephens' property no longer includes any upland property on the south side of Front Street due to the long-term effects of erosion, the Town of Beaufort owns the uninterrupted stretch of property along the entire waterfront as far east as the Eury property (including the area in front of Mr. Stephens' house), which in turn has been leased to Beaufort Waterfront Enterprises, Inc. on a long-term basis.

Ms. Tere Barrett April 1, 2005 Page 3 Accordingly, based on long-established CAMA policies, Beaufort Waterfront Enterprises, Inc., as the holder of a long-term lease for the area immediately adjacent to the project site, is the appropriate entity to waive its 15-foot setback rights with respect to the new docks owned by the Town of Beaufort. As indicated by the enclosed waiver form signed by Mr. Haywood Weeks, Beaufort Waterfront Enterprises, Inc. hereby waives its riparian setback rights with respect to the Town docks. In conclusion, we respectfully request that this matter be closed without further action by the Town or the Department, because the docks as constructed could have been approved originally under CAMA rules as a result of a setback waiver by the adjacent riparian owner. .

Our client's request is that Mr. Stephens indicate that he has no objection to the floating docks constructed along Front Street in Beaufort remaining as built. We are making this request as a courtesy at the suggestion of Division of Coastal Management staff. In our view, waiver of Mr. Stephens' riparian rights, if any, is not required in this situation. This whole situation appears to result from a misunderstanding about who is the adjoining property owner based on information from an old tax map. The tax map shows a small sliver of Mr. Stephens' property on the water side of the Town bulkhead above the mean high water line, which investigation reveals no longer exists. Accordingly, our client provided notice to BB&T as the adjoining property owner rather than Mr. Stephens. We would very much appreciate Mr. Stephens' cooperation in this matter. We look forward to receiving a reply from you in the near future. Yours very truly, Frank H. Sheffield, Jr. FHS:rlc NBMAIN\621096\1 / cc: Ms. Tere Barrett/ Mr. Haywood Weeks Mr. J.

After discussing this matter with you and Mr. Mark Hardeman in your office on January 21, 2005, and further reviewing the facts surrounding this permit and dock construction project details, -we believe that the new floating docks as constructed could have been permitted and, therefore, we ask that resolution of this matter be governed by 15A N.C. Admin. Code § 7J .0409(f)(4) for the following reasons: The applicant is the Town of Beaufort. The Beaufort Docks are part of the series of docks that make up the Beaufort historic waterfront area. The Beaufort Docks are owned by the Town and operated under lease by Mr. Weeks for use by the general public. The availability of these docks will help support and promote tourism in Beaufort and provide revenues for the Town. In short, the Beaufort Docks provide substantial public benefits. he doc are wl in the genera oo plfini ofMe- eaut3—fort wad rort rit doc s area, which extends from the west end of Beaufort down Front Street to the east -- well past this location.

Ms. Tere Barrett January 25, 2005 Page 2 � 11 Morehead City DCM all the properties along Front Street for many years. Indeed, the area of the docks under discussion has been a boat basin for use by boaters visiting Beaufort for over 20 years. 3. As discussed further below, we believe the docks are more than 15 feet from the riparian area of any separate adjoining riparian property owner. Accordingly, no waiver by any adjoining riparian property owner in that area appears to have been necessary in order for the Beaufort Docks to be permitted for the additional 5% in dock length. - 4. In any case, in good faith our client provided notice to BB&T on the understanding that they were the next adjoining property owner. As you will recall, BB&T was noticed during the CAMA Major Development permitting process for these docks in 2002 without objection from anyone. Our client assumed that the same procedure used by the applicant and approved by your office during the Major Development permit process should be used last year for the General Permit, which involves replacing the same docks authorized by the CAMA Major Development Permit. As we discussed last Friday, in our view Mr. Robert Stephens does not appear to have any land on the water side of Front Street and the Town bulkhead. At most, he may have only a very small sliver of mudflat at the foot of the Town bulkhead. We do not believe he has any land at present above the mean high water line for several reasons. First, there are oysters growing on the Town bulkhead in front of the Stephens property. Oysters do not grow above the mean high water line. Second, considerable marsh grass is present directly in front of the Town bulkhead. To the extent any marsh grass is present in this general area with the characteristics of grasses that can survive above the mean high water line, such grass is believed to be located on the adjoining property to the east -- not in front of the Stephens property. The adjoining property, which apparently is owned by the Town, begins several feet west of the Lookout Express/Mystery pier. Thus, the small area of land where some grass is present in the corner nearest the pier is believed to be on the Town's rather than Stephens' property. In any case, the tiny sliver of mudflat in front of the Stephens property does not extend the full width of his property. It appears to extend only about half the width of his lot. Accordingly, as you indicated during our discussion, it would appear that the Town, as owner of Front Street, would be the next adjoining riparian property owner to the east of the project area. If that is correct, then Mr. Stephens' riparian corridor does not coincide with his western property line, but extends from the channel to the point where this tiny sliver of purported high ground begins to the east. My inspection of the site indicates that the point where this tiny sliver begins is more than 15 feet east of the project area. Accordingly, it does not appear to us that our client was or is required to obtain a setback waiver from Mr. Stephens in order to extend the length of WARD AND SMITH, P.A. �[ i r, �( Ms. Tere Barrett January 25, 2005 JAN 2 6 2005 Page 3 Morehead City ®CM the docks an additional 10 feet. The end of the docks is considerably more than 15 feet from Mr. Stephens' purported riparian corridor. We would also note that, to our knowledge, no one complained to the Division of Coastal Management about the additional length during the construction of the docks. Since the docks were completed, there has been nothing but praise from the general public about the new docks. It is interesting that concern has arisen only now -- several months after completion of the project. In conclusion, both the Town and Mr. Weeks very much wish to resolve this matter in an expeditious and cooperative manner. Accordingly, we ask that you consider the above comments and advise us how this situation can be resolved. We look forward to speaking with you about how we mutually can achieve that end.

'Commissioners dul its intent to extend the Lease and modify it in accordance with the 2 preceding paragraph, caused a publication of notice of such intent. to be made, held a public hearing on the question, and following the public hearing approved the extension of the Lease with the further qualification that during each year of the Lease, including its extended term, the rent will be adjusted upward in accordance with the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of Labor, but not providing for an adjustment downward in the event of:a'decrease in the consumer Price Index. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the sum of TEN ($10.00) DOLLARS by TENANT to -LANDLORD paid, the receipt of which is hereby' acknowledged, LANDLORD and TENANT do agree as follows: I. The Lease between LANDLORD and TENANT referred to above is hereby amended to provide that it shall be extended through and including August.31, 2003. 2. The rental to be paid by TENANT to LANDLORD beginning with the Lease year from September 1, 1993 to August 31, 1994, shall be TWENTY-NINE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FORTY AND 00/100 ($29,440.00) DOLLARS, which rental shall be paid in monthly installments in advance of TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY-THREE AND 34/100 ($2,453.34) DOLLARS beginning on or before September 1, 1993 and continuing on or before the first day of each and every calendar month thereafter during the Lease term and any authorized extension thereof. 3. TENANT shall make improvements to the docks and piers in the demised area to change one (1) or more of these docks and piers 3 to floating docks at a cost of not less than SIXTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 ($60,000.00) DOLLARS. Before embarking upon such improvements, TENANT shall submit to LANDLORD plans and specifications for such improvements and obtain LANDLORD rS.approval thereof, which approval shall not unreasonably be: withheld . TENANT shall submit to LANDLORD evidence satisfactory to LANDLORD that the cost of such improvements have at least equaled SIXTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 ($60,000.00) DOLLARS. These improvements shall be completed on or before the 31st day of August, 1998, upon failure of which this Extension of Lease shall be null and void without further action by LANDLORD. 4. During each year of the 'Lease term and any authorized extension thereof beginning with the Lease year starting on September 1, 1994, the rental to be paid by TENANT to LANDLORD shall be adjusted upwardly in accordance -with the increase with the Consumer,Price Index for All Items for All Urban Consumers (1982_ 84=100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (hereinafter called the "Index"). Rental for each Lease year shall be determined as follows: A. (1) As promptly as practicable after the end of each lease year of this Lease (hereinafter sometimes called the "Lease Year", the Lease Year ending August 31, 1994 being called the "Base Year"), LANDLORD shall compute the increase, if any, in the cost of living based upon the Index. "vs' me first month of the Base Year, shall be the "Base Index Number" and the 4 corresponding Index number for the first month of the Lease Year for which rent is being determined shall be the "Current Index Number." (3) The Current Index Number shall be divided by the Base Index Number. From the quotient thereof,* there shall be subtracted the integer 1, and any resulting positive number shall be deemed to be the percentage of increase in the cost of living. (4) The percentage of increase multiplied by TWENTY- NINE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FORTY AND 00/100 ($29,440.00) DOLLARS, the annual rent specified for the Base Year, shall be the increase determined by the requirements of this provision regarding rental for the Lease year for which rent is being determined. (5) LANDLORD shall, within a reasonable time after obtaining the appropriate data necessary for computing such increase, give the TENANT notice of any increase so determined, and the LANDLORD'S computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding, (but shall not preclude any adjustment which may be required in the event of a published amendment of the Index figures upon which the computation was based),. unless the TENANT shall, within sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice, notify LANDLORD in writing of any claimed error therein. Any dispute between the parties as to any such computation shall be determined by arbitration, with LANDLORD selecting one (1) arbiter, TENANT' selecting one (1) arbiter, and these two (2) arbiters selecting a third arbiter, and the decision of any two (2) or more arbiters shall be final and binding upon the parties, and LANDLORD and TENANT shall pay equally 5 any costs involved in such arbitration. B. The rent, as so determined (i.e., the annual rent specified for the Base Year and the "increase" calculated in accordance with the provision for calculating rent for all Lease Years except,the Base Year) shall be the rental to be paid during the Lease Year for which rent is then being calculated. Any rent due for any period which elapses before the LANDLORD has provided TENANT with the new rent figure will be due and payable within thirty (30) days after TENANT has notice of the new rental figure. In.the interim, TENANT will continue to pay the monthly rental which has been paid up until that time. If it is later determined that the rental as calculated by LANDLORD is erroneous, the party found to owe the other any sum as additional rent or as a refund for rent overpaid shall make payment of such sum within thirty (30) days of notice of such sum being due. �. C. If publication of the Index shall be discontinued, the parties hereto shall thereafter accept comparable statistics on the cost of living as they shall be computed and published by an agency of the United States of America or by a responsible financial i periodical of recognized authority then to be selected by the parties hereto, or, if the parties cannot agree upon a selection, by arbitration as provided above. In the event of (1) .use of comparable statistics in place of the Index as above mentioned, or (2) publication of the Index figure at other than monthly intervals, there shall be made in the method of computation herein `� provided for such revision as the circumstances may require to 0 carry out the intent of this provision regarding rental adjustment, and any dispute between the parties as to the making of such adjustment shall be determined by arbitration as above provided. 5. Beginning with September 1, 1998, TENANT shall make available to LANDLORD all of TENANT'S books and records regarding its income and expenses and all' other business records of its operations at and from the leased premises. LANDLORD may inspect or audit all such records at all reasonable times during regular working hours. 6. Except as herein specifically or by necessary implication modified, the aforesaid Lease dated August 29, 1978, as amended by the Assignment dated November 21, 1979, and the Agreement and Amendment of Lease dated August 27, 1987, shall remain in full force and effect. 7.

The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized development in the form of expansion of the existing marina within the Taylor's Creek. Again, on December 30, 2004, Mr. Mark Hardeman and I visited. the site to confirm the normal high water. contour line, and to take measurements of the newly replaced dock. Information gathered by me for the NC Division of Coastal Management shows that you have violated the terms or conditions of State Permit No. 36765-C which was issued to the Town of Beaufort, C/o Mr. Haywood Weeks, by the Coastal Resources Commission and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. I hereby request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST such violations and comply with the terms and conditions of the above permit. On 12/22/03, State Permit No. 36765-C was issued to the Town of Beaufort, C/o Mr. Haywood Weeks for the replacement of the fixed docks with floating docks on the east end of the marina within Taylor's Creek Public Trust Waters. This development was to take place on property located in Carteret County, North Carolina, at 500 Front Street, Beaufort, NC. The permit was issued for a CAMA Major Development in an Area of Environmental Concern, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. This permit included the following terms and conditions: 1. The marina was to be replaced within the existing marina footprint, except that it could be moved 10' waterward to align with the other marina docks. 151-B Hwy. 24, Hestron Plaza II, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-28081 FAX: 252-247-33301 Internet: www.nccoastalmanageme6t.net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer— 50% Recycled 110% Post Consumer Paper " 4 Town of Beaufort Page 02 January 21, 2005 2. The permit prohibited the creation of new slips or the enlarging of existing slips. 3. The development as proposed was for a 232' x 8' main dock. These dimensions are reflected on the submitted plat stamped received on December 19, 2003, and are as authorized in the permit. 4. The permit is attached to conditions T15A NCAC 07H .2000, which states that all development activity must be setback 15' from adjacent riparian corridor lines unless such is waived by the adjacent riparian property owner. 5. The General Permit is issued contingent upon the accuracy of all information submitted by the applicant. For the following reasons, you are in violation of the above terms and conditions of your permit: 1. The docks as constructed exceed the pre-existing marina footprint to the east by 10'. 2. The main dock as constructed is 242' in length. 3. The additional 10' in length has either enlarged slips or created a new slip. 4. The additional 10' appears to be, and has been reported to be, within the 15' required setback.from the adjacent riparian corridor, and no waiver has been submitted. 5. One of the two signatures/notifications of the adjacent riparian property owners that are required for the issuance of a General Permit was not that of the adjacent riparian property owner, making State Permit 36765-C void from the date of issuance. 6. A mooring piling has been installed at some point in time to the east of the marina footprint and within the 15' required riparian corridor setback on the mainland side of the marina with no evidence of authorization. If the terms and conditions of a permit are not complied with, the permit is null and void from the date of its issuance. In order to determine if the aforementioned development activity may have been permitted via the CAMA Permit process and to determine if the activity is consistent with the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, 07H State Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern, I am requesting that Mr. Haywood Weeks, as the responsible party, provide the Division with the following: 1. Provide written signatures of no objection or Certified Mail Return Receipts of notification from the adjacent riparian neighbor to the east. 2. Provide a waiver of the required 15' riparian corridor setback for the current development from the adjacent riparian property owner to the east. Please note that if the above -referenced information is not submitted within a reasonable timeframe, the development will be deemed inconsistent with state guidelines, and will have to be restored to the previously authorized dimensions and configuration. A civil penalty of up to Twenty -Five Hundred Dollars ($2500) may be assessed, or an injunction or criminal penalty may be sought against any person who violates a CAMA Major Development permit. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a minimum civil penalty of $500.00 against all violations of this type. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating Town of Beaufort Page 03 January 21, 2005 violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a higher amount will be assessed will depend on several factors, including the nature and area of the resources that were affected and the extent of the damage to them. If restoration of the affected resources is requested but is not undertaken or completed satisfactorily, a substantially higher civil penalty will be assessed and a court injunction will be sought ordering restoration (N.C.G.S. 113A- 126). The relevant statutes and regulations are available from this office, and I am willing to assist you in complying with the requirements of these laws. A site inspection will be made in the near future to determine whether this REQUEST TO CEASE AND DESIST has been complied with. I request that you contact me immediately. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. If you have any questions about this or related matters, please call me at 252 808-2808. Upon submittal of all required information showing that your development is consistent with T15A NCAC 07H, or completion of restoration to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management, you will be notified as to the amount of the civil assessment for failure to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of your permit.
