Re: Alan Wooten (Hampstead Marina) Subject: Re: Alan Wooten (Hampstead Manna) From: Roy Brownlow <Roy.Brownlow@ncmail.net> Date: Wed, 18 Jan 200613:58:22 -0500 To: Linda Lewis <linda.lewis@ncmail.net> CC: Jim Gregson <Jim.Gregson@ncmail.net>, Ted Tyndall <Ted.Tyndall@ncmail.net> Linda: Hope this message finds you doing well. Please allow me to share some information/evidence that was introduced during our investigation of Coastal Management Case no. 05-30D, involving Allen Wooten and the Hampstead Marina project. Insofar as the plans submitted with the application, let's just say that we had to utilize discretion and field judgment during the enforcement investigation in lieu of sole reliance on the development plans. Likewise, the only photograph I saw from the permit file was the single photo from Jerry Parker (picture IDR 9571. If there are other photos, then they were not shown to me during the investigation. During the investigation, Mr. Wooten provided me several historic photos, two (2) of which in my opinion, provided significant evidence of the prior existence of existing compacted surface (parking and driveway area). I am attaching those photos (Wooten - Hampstead Marina) to this message for your review. Based on that evidence and our site visit investigation, we requested the restoration accordingly. Please note in photo %MVC-6125 that Jim is standing in the approximate landward extent of the 30' buffer area. According to our restoration request, Mr. Wooten had to re -vegetate the area shown in the photo (Wooten Hampstead Marina - restoration) because the landward extent of the existing impervious area is outside of DCM's 30' buffer area and the other area was the existing driveway. The restoration requested him to re -vegetate what we believed to be previously vegetated area based on the best available information and belief. Hope this helps. Please feel free to give me a call to discuss further if necessary Best regards, Roy Brownlow Linda Lewis wrote: Mr. Alan Wooten came by to see me today regarding my request for a stormwater permit at this site. He still doesn' ` understand why I am requesting that he make application for a stormwater permit, and frankly, after speaking with ! him, I'm not sure I do either. If This all started when Mr. Wooten placed gravel within the 30' AEC all the way up to the new bulkhead, without a CAMA permit. I got a copy of the January, 2005, Cease and Desist letter which indicated that a total of 6,060 sq. ft. of gravel had been placed within the 30' AEC, and that it needed to be removed. My understanding is that some of this gravel was removed, but not all of it. I need to know if the entire 6,060 sq. ft. was removed. This is where my problem comes in. The original 2001 CAMA Permit application clearly outlines the existing graveled areas as dashed lines. From the plans submitted with the application it appears that not all of the site was shown as gravelled. Mr Wooten does not know why the plans that accompanied the 2001 CAMA application does not indicate complete gravel coverage. He maintains that the entire site has been gravelled and used for parking for many years. The photographs that Jerry Parker took in 2001 to document the existing condition show some vegetated areas adjacent the gravel drives. Mr. Wooten maintains that after the 1996 and 1997 hurricanes, use of the host ramp declined because the channel filled in and only small skiff type boats could use the channel, so, in the absence of continual traf Eic, the vegetation started growing through the gravel. I just need verification from somebody that knows, if the entire marina area now covered by the new gravel was completely gravelled or used for traffic and parking for many years in the recent past. I have to call it new development or redevelopment and decide if a SW permit is necessary. It was my understanding from Jim Gregson that he thought additional area that was not previously graveled is now graveled, and that was the basis for my request for a permit. If this is not a correct statement, I need to know as soon as possible. If anyone can vouch for the previous condition at this marina in regards to the extent of gravel, I need to hear from you ASAP.

Director ��► Division of Water Quality January 10, 2006 Mr. Allen Wooten Hampstead Marina, Inc. 8155 Malpass Corner Road Currie, NC 28435 Subject: Request for State Stormwater Management Permit Application j Hampstead Marina Stormwater Project No. SW8 010429 Ponder County Dear Mr. Wooten: On December 14, 2005, the Division sent you a Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement regarding your lack of response to the Division's requests for a Stormwater Management Permit application for the subject project. As we discussed on the phone on December 19, 2005, Mr. Roy Brownlow's restoration acceptance letter dated February 22, 2005 is a determination that you have satisfied CAMA's requirements for restoration of the site. This in no way should be construed as a determination that a State Stormwater Management Permit is not required. I have photos of the site taken by CAMA on May 7, 2001, which show that a large portion of the site was grassed. Photographs of the same areas of the site taken by CAMA on February 5, 2005, show that those grassed areas have now been graveled. While CAMA has determined that removal of the new gravel within the 30' AEC has been accomplished, the photographs clearly show that new gravel has been added outside of the AEC. On the phone with me, you claimed that this area had been graveled for the past 20 years. The photographic evidence tends to dispute this claim. Unless you can provide other evidence to support your claim, a stormwater management permit application to deal with the new gravel areas will be required. The second issue involves the extension of the existing boat ramp by 21'. Your explanation that the boat ramp has not been extended has been accepted because the 2001 CAMA photos show an existing gravel access road leading down to the boat ramp. The 21' extension of the concrete for the boat ramp over the existing gravel can be considered under redevelopment, as long as the width of the concrete ramp area is the same as the width of the previous gravel road. Please consider this the Division's formal request to submit the required stormwater permit application. To avoid potential enforcement action, the application should be received in this Office prior to February 10, 2006. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 796-7404.

The violation took place on your property located at Hampstead Marina off of SR 1606 in or near the community of Hampstead in Pander County, North Carolina. This unauthorized activity constituted development and you were requested to remove all loose rock and gravel material from within the 30' buffer area with the exception of the existing impervious driveway. In addition, you were requested to install reflectors or other signaling devices attached to the cluster piles and navigation marker pile. 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 by restoring the project site to pre -development conditions to recover lost resources or to prevent further resource damage. I conducted a site visit at the aforementioned property on 17 February 2005 to inspect the restoration of the unauthorized activity addressed in the Notice of Violation 05-03D. Based on this inspection, it appears the restoration is accomplished to the satisfaction of this Division. Upon my submission of an enforcement report, 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 (252) 808-2808.

The purpose of the visit was to investigate development not authorized by State Permit number 50-02. The unauthorized development involves the installation of additional linear footage of the southwest wall adjacent to the boat ramp; adding linear footage to the boat ramp; installation of a basin channel marker piling; installation of two cluster piles; and the grading and filling with loose rock and gravel within the 30' Coastal Shoreline buffer on or near property adjacent to the AIWW. This letter also confines a prior site visit to this subject property by Jim Gregson and me on 23 November 2004. This letter further confirms a brief meeting on 23 December 2004 with you, your father-in-law Mr. Honeycutt, and me prior to the meeting with Mr. Gregson. Information gathered by me for the Division of Coastal Management indicates that you have undertaken major development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). No person may undertake Major Development in a designated Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) without first obtaining a permit from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This requirement is imposed by North Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. 1 have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for the following unauthorized development on the aforementioned property: 1. Installation of an additional 21 linear feet of wooden wall parallel to the boat ramp on the southwest side of the boat ramp. 50 linear feet was permitted, however, field measurements indicate the wall is at least 71 linear feet. It appears the waterward termination is in alignment with existing pilings on adjacent property to the southwest, however the additional 21' extends landward due to the re -sloping and re -surfacing of the boat ramp and is not authorized or described by State Permit No. 05-02. 2. Installation of an additional 21 linear feet of concrete boat ramp. The existing boat ramp (26' wide by 60' long) was permitted to be resurfaced and repaired, however the additional 21' extends landward due to the re -sloping and re -surfacing of the boat ramp and is not described or authorized by State Permit No. 05-02. 3. Installation of a wooden piling on the southwestern tip of a sand shoal within the Hampstead Marina basin. This piling was not described or authorized by State Permit No. 05-02. 151-13 Hwy. 24, Hestron Plaza II, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-2808 \ FAX: 252-247-3330 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer - 50% Recycled \ 10% Post Consumer Paper Mr. Allen Wooten Hampstead Marina, Inc. 21 January 2005 Page 2 of 4 4. Installation of at least two (2) wooden piling clusters within the Hampstead Marina basin. These pilings are not described or authorized by State Permit No. 05-02. 5. Grading and filling with loose rock and gravel within 30' of the normal high water level in area at least ±30' feet wide north to south by approximately ±202' feet in length east to west encompassing approximately 6,060 square feet in area. The rock and gravel is packed to serve as a parking and driveway area. Coastal Shorelines category includes Estuarine Shoreline. The Estuarine Shoreline AEC, in part, extends from the normal high water level for a distance of 75 feet landward. Within the Coastal Shoreline AEC buffer, new development shall be located a distance of 30 feet landward of the normal high water level. The grading and filling with this rock and gravel within the Coastal Shoreline AEC is not described or authorized by State Permit No. 05-02. This activity took place in Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Area, and Coastal Shoreline areas that are contiguous with the AIWW near Topsail Sound. Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Area, and Coastal Shoreline areas are designated as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). No permit was issued to you for work in this area. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further unauthorized activities within designated Areas of Environmental Concern. A civil assessment of up to $2,500 may be assessed against any violator. Each day that the development described in this notice is continued or repeated may constitute a separate violation that is subject to an additional assessment of up to $2,500. An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to enforce any violation (N.C.G.S. 113A-126). It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to levy a minimum civil assessment of $500.00 not to exceed $2,500 against all violations. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a higher amount will be assessed depends on several factors, including the nature and area of the resources that were affected and the extent of the damage to them. Based upon the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 07H. State Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern, part of the activity you have undertaken, filling and grading with rock and gravel in the Coastal Shoreline AEC 30' buffer zone, is not consistent with Section 07H .0209(d), which does not allow non -water dependent development within 30' landward of the normal high water level. Therefore, I am requesting that all loose rock and gravel material be removed within 30' landward of the normal high water level. It is acknowledged that a driveway existed prior to the unauthorized development and in this case, may be allowed to remain. The Coastal Resources Commission rules allow development over existing. impervious surfaces provided that it is not enlarged and complies with the rules to the maximum extent feasible. Please refer to the enclosed Restoration Agreement for specific restoration guidelines. Likewise, upon review of the Coastal Area Management Act, Coastal Resource Commission's rules, and the local jurisdiction's Land Use Plan, the other activity you have undertaken: the landward extension of the southwest wall adjacent to the boat ramp, the landward extension of the boat ramp, the installation of the navigation pile, and the installation of the cluster pilings, appear consistent with the guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern. Therefore, restoration of the impacted area is not requested at this time with the exception of providing permanent reflectors on the freestanding cluster piles and navigation marker pile to make them more visible. However, please be advised that upon request, you must be able to provide us proof that you have given your adjacent riparian property owner(s) notice of this unauthorized development and provided them the opportunity to comment to the Division of Coastal Management. 151-B Hwy. 24, Hestron Plaza II, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-2808 \ FAX: 252-247-3330 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled \ 10% Post Consumer Paper VD WOOTEN FARMING &SEED 8155 MALPASS CORNER ROAD CURRIE, N.C. 28435 to JAN 0 7 2005 Morehead City DCM i V.

The violation involved Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Area, and Coastal Shoreline areas, which are Areas of Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal Resources Commission. Based upon the site visit conducted on 17 February 2005 by Roy Brownlow, the restoration requested appears to be complete to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management. The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $2,500 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 Resource Commission, a proposed civil penalty in the amount of $500.00 is appropriate for this violation.

Weatherly Calvin Wellons Vice -Chairperson Hackney called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. Vice -Chairperson Hackney advised that Chairperson Tomlinson could not be at this meeting due [o surgery he was undergoing that could not be scheduled at another date. Vice - Chairperson Hackney said that Executive Order One mandated that CRC members avoid conflict of interest or appearances of conflict. He asked CRC members to state, as the roll was called, if they had any such conflict or appearances of conflict. Roll Call Eugene Tomlinson: Not present. Bob Barnes: Not present. Renee Cahoon: Present. No conflict. Bob Emory: Present. No conflict. Peggy Griffin: Present. No conflict. Courtney Hackney: Present. No conflict. Mary Price Harrison: Not present. NOTE: Ms. Harrison arrived at 10:05 a.m. Doug Langford: Present. No conflict. Jerry Old: Not present. NOTE: Mr. Old arrived at 10:04 a.m. Bill Peele: Not present. Mary Price Harrison moved that the CRC adopt the ALJ's decision as recommended by DCM staff and her motion was seconded. Doug Langford advised that he would like to be excused from voting on this case since he was unavoidably out of the room during most of the discussion. The CRC voted unanimously in favor of Ms. Harrison's motion (Renee Cahoon, Bob Emory, Peggy Griffin, Mary Price Harrison, Jerry Old, Larry Pittman, Melvin Shepard, Joan Weld, Lee Wynns). Helen Smith Contested Case (CRC-CC-03-02 Metric Jo Alcoke said this case was Helen Smith versus the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and DCM. Ms. Alcoke advised that Ms. Smith was present today with her son, Frank Smith. Ms. Alcoke reported that the ALJ in this case made a decision in favor of the petitioner after an evidentiary hearing. Ms. Alcoke stated she had filed exceptions to the ALJ's decision on numerous basis. She said the primary basis was that the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) lacked the subject matter jurisdiction over the case. Ms. Alcoke said on the first page of Respondent's Brief with Exceptions to ALPs Decision she had a 1 and a 2. Ms. Alcoke advised that the first was that she requests the CRC to reverse this decision and modify it by finding, first, that OAH lacks subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to two rules of North Carolina civil procedure. She said that, secondly, she asked that in the alternative, that respondent did not err in the particular ways that were outlined in this decision. Ms. Alcoke said she was going to ask that the CRC consider reversing the ALJ's decision in the way enumerated in number 1 but also to make findings relevant to number 2 for purposes of judicial economy. She said, for example, if the CRC was to find that OAH did not have jurisdiction and then maybe on appeal it was found that they did, then the issue could be sent back to the CRC on the substance of the matter which was what was covered by number 2. Ms. Alcoke stated she would ask that the CRC also make findings and reverse the ALPs decision on the substance as outlined in number 2. Ms. Alcoke advised that the background of this case was outlined in her Statement of Case on page 2. Ms. Alcoke said the petition had first been filed by Ms. Smith in December of 2000 challenging the location of some pilings in the Intercoastal Waterway near property that she owns in Hampstead, North Carolina. Ms. Alcoke said Ms. Smith alleged that the pilings were blocking their access to the waterway. Ms. Alcoke said she filed a Motion to Dismiss in that first instance but this motion was never ruled on because a Settlement Agreement was entered into where the owner of the pilings, Joe Honeycutt, agreed to move the pilings. Ms. Alcoke advised that without ever having a hearing, the various parties entered into a Settlement Agreement. Ms. Alcoke said it was this Settlement Agreement that lead to the case that was now before the CRC. Ms. Alcoke advised that after the Settlement Agreement the pilings were realigned and moved but the petitioner was not satisfied with that realignment and, therefore, filed this case appealing the terms of the Settlement Agreement and alleging that the terms of the settlement were not properly implemented. Ms. Alcoke said in this appeal, filed in 2002, the petitioner alleged that she was not given notice of the surveyor going out on site and secondly that the pilings were still not straight and not in accordance with the alignment she was seeking. Ms. Alcoke referred the CRC to Exhibit 7 in the record which was a picture of the disputed pilings after they were realigned by Mr. Honeycutt explaining what was depicted in the photograph. Ms. Alcoke stated that the important thing about subject matter jurisdiction was that DCM had to have undertaken an action that would be subject to review by the OAH and by the CRC. Ms. Alcoke said that unlike all the other things the CRC had heard today where there was not a decision to grant or deny a permit giving someone the right or denying them the right to do something, there was no permit application in this case and no request for a permit. Ms. Alcoke advised this was the primary basis for her Motion to Dismiss. Ms. Alcoke said subject matter jurisdiction had to exist before the OAH could hear a case and so she had brought a Motion to Dismiss on numerous bases of why subject matter jurisdiction did not exist in this case. Ms. Alcoke stated that those bases were the OAH did not have jurisdiction over breech of contract. She said a settlement agreement was a contract as established by North Carolina Law. Ms. Alcoke stated that if a party to a contract was unhappy with the enforcement of that contract, their remedy would be to go to a superior court for interpretation of that contract and for determination of whether or not it was properly implemented. Ms. Alcoke advised this was provided by statute in NCGS 7A-240 which says the proper forum for justiciable matters of a civil nature, such as contract disputes, are the trial divisions of the General Court of Justice. Ms. Alcoke stated that OAH was not a trial division of the General Court of Justice. Ms. Alcoke said a trail division of the General Court of Justice like a superior court or district court would have the power to issue injunctive relief which was the type of relief that was sought in this case. Ms. Alcoke said secondly she argued that OAH did not have subject matter jurisdiction because the petitioner was not a "person aggrieved." Ms. Alcoke advised that under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) to go into the OAH you had to be a "person aggrieved." Ms. Alcoke stated she had argued that the petitioner was not a "person aggrieved" because a "person aggrieved" was defined as someone adversely affected in their legal rights or property by an administrative decision. Ms. Alcoke stated that for two reasons the petitioner was not a "person aggrieved" . She said the petitioner did not own riparian property and had not, therefore, been adversely affected in her property rights, and secondly there had been no administrative decision by an agency. Ms. Alcoke stated that the third basis for lack of subject matter jurisdiction was that the petitioner did not comport with the requirements of the APA. She said the next basis was that CAMA provided the exclusive way to appeal a CAMA permitting decisions and the petitioner was not one of the people who were entitled to an appeal under CAMA. She advised that two different types of people could appeal under CAMA. Ms. Alcoke said one was a permit applicant which was provided for in NCGS 113A-121.1. Ms. Alcoke stated that another person who could file an appeal was a third party who was aggrieved by a permit decision but they first had to go through the chairperson of the CRC through a proceeding called a Third Party Hearing Request. She advised that if that Third Party Hearing Request was granted by the chairperson of the CRC then that person got to go to OAH. Ms. Alcoke stated the Secretary of DENR was afforded an automatic right to appeal and so the petitioner, not being a permit applicant and not being a third party who had filed a Third Party Hearing Request through the chairperson and not being the Secretary of DENR was, therefore, not entitled to an appeal under CAMA. Ms. Alcoke reported that she had next pointed out that in order to have subject matter jurisdiction you had to timely file your appeal. Ms. Alcoke advised that the petitioner did not allege and the ALJ's Decision did not state what the alleged date of the agency action in this case was. Ms. Alcoke said she argued that there was no agency action from which an appeal could be made. Yet, even if there was agency action, the date of any such action triggered the statutory appeal period under CAMA, which the petitioner clearly did not meet when the petitioner filed for a contested case hearing on January 28, 2002. Ms. Alcoke said finally she had argued that the petition should be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Ms. Alcoke advised this was Rule 12(b)(6) of the North Carolina Rules for Civil Procedure which requires the petitioner to make a claim that OAH could help them with and give them some relief. She said the petitioner sought to have the pilings realigned and this relief exceeded the power assigned to ALJs which was specifically described in the APA in 150B-33 and 36. Ms. Alcoke said injunctive relief was not one of them. Ms. Alcoke said the petitioner's claim, if any, was against Mr. Honeycutt, the owner of the pilings, and not the State and therefore was in the wrong forum. Ms. Alcoke said that because the complaint was against the riparian property owner, Mr. Honeycutt, it did not lend itself to proper review by the CRC because the CRC's job was to review DCM decisions. Ms. Alcoke said she was not going to go into detail about why the ALJ's Decision should be reversed regarding the substance of it. She said she had outlined that in her brief with citations to the transcript, record and exhibits. Ms. Alcoke asked the CRC to reverse the ALJ's Recommended Decision and find there was no subject matter jurisdiction and also to find in the alternative that the agency did not err in the ways enumerated in the APA. Helen Smith stated she too had some pictures of the pilings she wanted to share with the CRC. Ms. Smith advised they had agreed, and Ms. Alcoke and Ms. Moffitt had signed the agreement and everyone signed the agreement to have the pilings straightened up. Ms. Alcoke stated these pictures were not part of the record so it was not something that could be considered by the CRC. Ms. Smith advised she had heard that she had been sent a kit about what was in the record but she did not receive any kit so she did not know what Ms. Alcoke was talking about. Ms. Smith said all these things were added into evidence at the hearing. Vice -Chairperson Hackney stated that the CRC could only discuss things that were in the hearing record that they had been provided. Ms. Smith asked who had provided the CRC with the record. Ryke Longest stated that the OAH should have provided both Ms. Smith and Ms. Alcoke with a copy of the hearing record. Ms. Smith stated that she did not receive anything but Ms. Alcoke's response. Mr. Longest asked Ms. Smith if she took part in the hearing and was present during the hearing. Ms. Smith responded that she had. Mr. Longest asked Ms. Smith if she was there when the evidence was presented and Ms. Smith said she was. Mr. Longest asked Ms. Smith if what she wanted to present today was something that was presented at that hearing. Ms. Smith's son, Frank Smith, responded it was in one or the other of two hearings. Ms. Smith said there had been several hearings. Mr. Smith said this was not really a major concern. It was simply the way the pilings were installed without a permit and that was what the whole issue was about. He said the pilings were installed in the waterway below the water line without a permit. Mr. Longest asked Ms. Alcoke if the item that had been handed to Commissioner Shepard was not in the record. Ms. Alcoke responded that if you referred to the ALJ's Recommended Decision on the very first page it listed the exhibits that were part of the hearing. Ms. Alcoke advised that the petitioner entered just one exhibit and that was a survey. She stated that the respondents entered in seven exhibits and that was not an exhibit that was a part of the hearing. Mr. Longest reiterated that the CRC could only hear what was in the hearing record. Ms. Smith said there were two hearings and the an agreement was made at the first hearing and all these things that Ms. Alcoke addressed about the zoning restrictions and all that sort of stuff was addressed in that first hearing. Ms. Smith said at that time they got the agreement and that was supposed to have settled that case. Vice -Chairperson Hackney asked if he was correct that there was no ALJ decision in that first case. Ms. Smith responded there was an agreement made. Ms. Alcoke responded there was no court reporter and no proceedings but they had come to a Settlement Agreement that day. Ryke Longest asked if the Settlement Agreement was in the record and Ms. Smith responded that was correct and there were seven signatures on it. Mr. Longest referred the CRC to the Settlement Agreement contained in the hearing record they had received. Mr. Longest said this was the Settlement Agreement Ms. Smith was here to discuss. Mr. Longest asked Ms. Smith what itwas she wanted the CRC to do. Ms. Smith said all she wanted was to have done what was in the Settlement Agreement and this had not been done. Mr. Longest asked Ms. Smith how they had not done it. Ms. Smith advised that it had been agreed that the pilings would be straightened out in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement. Additional discussion followed on what was contained in the hearing record and what would be allowable for Ms. Smith to discuss and present. Ms. Smith reiterated that she had not received a copy of the hearing record. Ms. Smith said she had also not been notified when the surveyor would be at the site. Ms. Smith reviewed why she felt the terms of the Settlement Agreement had not been adhered to and why she felt the pilings still needed realignment. Mr. Smith said they were asking the CRC to affirm the ALJ's Recommended Decision. Vice -Chairperson Hackney said that in the Settlement Agreement it was agreed that the pilings would be moved and they had been moved. He asked the Smiths if it was correct that were contending that even though the pilings were moved, the pilings were still 3.2 feet from where they should be. Mr. Smith responded that they were still 3.2 feet from where the Settlement Agreement stated they should be. Vice -Chairperson Hackney said this was the subject the CRC was dealing with but the argument right now was whether the ALJ had the authority to rule in this case since there was no permit and no "aggrieved person" and if the CRC had the authority to grant this. He said it clearly had some civil elements that they very well might have a basis for a case but DCM had not granted a permit. Mr. Smith asked if it was not correct that a permit was required for the sinking of pilings below the waterline. Vice -Chairperson Hackney asked Ms. Moffitt if there was a permit request and Ms. Moffitt responded that there had been no permit application by these people. Mr. Smith said that was the complaint` about the pilings that were installed without a permit. He said this was how this started. Vice -Chairperson Hackney asked if there was any enforcement action in this matter. Mr. Smith responded they came down and looked at it and said they did not see anything wrong with what he had done. Mr. Smith stated the fact that he had done anything without a permit was a violation of the rules. Vice -Chairperson Hackney said what the CRC's charge was to affirm the ALJ's Recommended Decision or deny it or alter it as they felt appropriate. Melvin Shepard asked if these pilings were all in public trust waters and not on these individuals' personal property and Vice - Chairperson Hackney said that was correct. Mr. Shepard said the next question he had was whether the CRC and DCM had any authority in this case to even grant permits or get involved with putting pilings in a public trust area. Mr. Shepard stated that he knew, for example, in their oyster garden they did not have to ask the CRC anything about putting pilings within inches of the shore. He said the CRC did not become involved. Mr. Shepard questioned who was the legal authority was for granting pilings in public trust areas. Ryke Longest responded that when it was development within an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) it was in DCM's permitting jurisdiction. Mr. Longest advised that the question here was not an objection to any permit. Mr. Longest said the question was the enforcement of a requirement as cited by the ALJ and to enforce the Settlement Agreement. Mr. Longest stated the ALJ's order ordered three things and he thought the CRC should be pretty clear about this. Mr. Longest advised that the CRC only had jurisdiction to decide should the ALJ's order be upheld or should the ALJ's order not be upheld and the basis for that would be to consider the arguments in the Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law that Ms. Alcoke had submitted. Mr. Longest said to adopt the ALJ's decision, the CRC would need to make no decision about anything else they would just need to say they adopted the ALTs decision. " Mr. Longest said, in fact, if no action were taken by the CRC that would happen by default. Mr. Longest said the question of whether or not a permit is required was really not the question in this case because that was the subject of something called a Third Party Hearing Request process as set forth in CAMA if a third party did not like some permitted activity. Mr. Longest advised there was a permit entered in the record for some dredge and fill activity but that permit did not mention anything about pilings one way or the other. Mr. Longest said there might be other information in the record that he was not aware of about what was required and what was not. Mr. Longest said it certainly may have been required pursuant to that marina but he thought it would be good for the CRC to ask Ms. Alcoke and Ms. Smith what they know, if anything, about what is in the record about how those pilings were placed and whether a permit was required and was this pursuant to a permit as long as something about that was in the record. Mr. Longest asked if there was anything in the record about under what authority these pilings had been placed. Mr. Smith asked if CRC members had a transcript of the hearing and Mr. Longest responded they did. Mr. Smith said there was testimony in the record but he did not know where it was. Ms. Alcoke referred CRC members to page 11 of her Respondent's Brief with Exceptions to ALJ's Decision. Ms. Alcoke said it gave background that she thought would help the CRC on how these pilings got there in the first place. Ms. Alcoke said she did not think any of this was disputed by the parties. Ms. Alcoke said under Proposed Additional Findings of Fact it states: Petitioner is not a riparian property owner, but owns property on the landward side of Broadview Lane, across the road from the property where the disputed pilings are located. The tract of land over which the petitioner claims a right to access the AIW W is privately owned by Carl and Lou Rose. Ms. Alcoke said Exhibit 1 in the record also supported that. She stated the Roses had denied the petitioner's right to cross over their property to land a boat there but that was not being looked at. Ms. Alcoke advised that in respondent's Exhibit 1 there was a letter from the Roses' attorney to the petitioner saying not to cross over their property anymore. Ms. Alcoke said the petitioner claims that in July of 1999 Mr. Honeycutt who owns the pilings and the boat landing added some pilings to the existing ones making the landing on the Rose side where they claim to go down nearly unusable by blocking access to deep water. Ms. Alcoke said the permit Ms. Smith held up earlier was a 1975 Army Corps of Engineers permit that authorized 11 pilings and that was before CAMA. Ms. Alcoke advised this permit was not entered into the record at the hearing but was a part of the Settlement Agreement and that was a part of the record. Ms. Alcoke said there was a 1985 permit in the record and the purpose for this being in the record was because when permit applications are submitted a plat is drawn that shows what they have now and the plat showed that the pilings were there in 1985. Ms. Alcoke said the pilings were permitted in 1974 and they were still there in 1985. Ms. Alcoke said DCM would agree that they had been modified over time. Ms. Alcoke stated that in July of 1999 Mr. Honeycutt added some to the existing ones making the access to deep water difficult. Ms. Alcoke said that the petitioner's son, Frank Smith, rented a backhoe and tore the pilings down. She said he was found responsible by an arbitrator for destruction of property. Ms. Alcoke said the pilings were reinstalled by Mr. Honeycutt and no permit was ever applied for when Mr. Honeycutt either allegedly added the pilings that blocked deep water access or when he put them back after they were pulled out She said nobody looked at anything. Ms. Alcoke stated that after the fact when the petitioner made the claim that they were blocking access, DCM looked at them and advised that the pilings had been there forever and a permit was not needed to repair them. Ms. Alcoke said DCM did not have a personal stake in the pilings and did not have the ability to exercise self- help and go move them because the pilings were not in violation of CAMA. Doug Langford asked Ms. Alcoke if during the hearing that was the subject of the case before the CRC today did she make argument at that time that the ALJ did not have jurisdiction in this case. Ms. Alcoke responded that she moved for a lack of jurisdiction in both cases and none of her motions were ever ruled upon until the decision was issued and he found in their favor and ruled that the Motion to Dismiss was denied. Bob Emory said he did not know what could be done if the CRC decided in favor of the petitioner. Mr. Emory stated that he could not see where the CRC had any authority in this matter. Mary Price Harrison moved that the CRC reverse the ALJ's Decision and modify it as recommended by Ms. Alcoke and her motion was seconded. CRC members discussed at length and questioned how this case should be resolved and what, if any, authority the CRC and DCM had in this matter and would have if the CRC upheld the ALJ's Recommended Decision. The CRC voted five in favor of Ms. Harrison's motion (Bob Emory, Peggy Griffin, Mary Price Harrison, Joan Weld, Lee Wynns) and five opposed to Ms. Harrison's motion (Renee Cahoon, Doug Langford, Jerry Old, Larry Pittman, Melvin Shepard). Vice - Chairperson Hackney broke the tie on this motion by voting in favor of the motion. Melvin Shepard said it seemed to him that perhaps the CRC and other agencies did not have the rules in place to deal with this kind of thing. Mr. Shepard stated that he believed the CRC was in conflict rather than in concert with what the Marine Fisheries Commission says on certain things. Mr. Shepard advised that he thought they had a dog in the fight of the case the CRC just heard. Mr. Shepard said dealing with 15A NCAC 7H where it talked about wooden groins and riprap offshore it was certainly talking about getting into areas where the Division of Marine Fisheries could want to have a say in whether we did or did not do something. Vice -Chairperson Hackney stated they did comment on permits. Mr. Shepard said in this case he could not find where the Division of Marine Fisheries had been asked for an opinion. Mr. Shepard advised his recommendation to the Chair was that the Chair appoint a committee consisting of a member of DCM and ask for a member from the Division of Marine Fisheries and a member from the North Carolina Fish and Wildlife who were the designated law enforcement officers on the water in the State of North Carolina and maybe a member of the Attorney General's Office to take a look at what had been talked about today, things in the public trust waters. Mr. Shepard stated that those were under the Department of Administration and the Secretary of DENR was given the job of handling those but exactly who handled them and under what conditions and under what conditions would you want to make sure that you pulled in another agency for comment before you looked at any kind of a case and where would law enforcement come in where two guys got in a quarrel in the water about whether you were allowed to do something in front of your property. Mr. Shepard said what he had found out in dealing with oyster gardens was that everybody had a right to be everywhere. Vice -Chairperson Hackney asked Mr. Shepard if it was alright if he requested that DCM staff develop a short presentation on public trust in the coastal zone and how that was handled. Mr. Shepard agreed with U Vice -Chairperson Hackney's proposal Public Tout and Comment Don Morris of 511 Broad Creek Loop Road, Newport, North Carolina, said that the North Carolina Constitution proclaims that the ocean beaches of North Carolina are held in public trust for all of its citizens. He said the North Carolina Constitution directs all elected and appointed officials to protect and defend public trust rights. Mr. Morris stated that the sharp rise in development of the oceanfront beaches in North Carolina had created severe problems with traditional beach access and use by the public. Mr. Morris advised that developers and communities alike ignore the public trust doctrine when oceanfront property was transferred and developed. He stated that instead the developers and locally elected officials imply that the beaches fronting the newly developed properties were private beaches for area residents only and that locally elected officials allow further restrictions on public access by banning sport fishing vehicle use by fishermen on beaches and implementing no parking bans on streets in the vicinity of the beaches. Mr. Morris stated that the Whalehead lawsuit filed in Currituck County Superior Court was a classic example of wealthy oceanfront property owners attempting to usurp traditional beach rights of citizens of the State. He said if the State courts rule in favor of the Whalehead group, all developed beaches in the State would soon be off limits to the public except for federal and State owned areas. Mr. Morris said another glaring example of oceanfront property owners attempting to exclude the public from their private beaches was taking place in Pine Knoll Shores. Mr. Morris reported the municipality was attempting to secure a federal beach nourishment project without strictly adhering to the federal Army Corps of Engineers (COE) public access requirements. Mr. Morris stated that Pine Knoll Shores evaded the COE requirements lastyear by claiming the nourishment project was a privately funded project and did not have to met COE requirements. He said, however, in order to secure funding for a Federal 933 project planned for the winter of 2004, Pine Knoll Shores is pressing the COE to approve an access scheme which provided limited parking and access to their beach during the summer tourist season only. Mr. Morris said the Pine Knoll Shores scheme did not provide year round parking with access for all of the beach included in the proposed taxpayer financed renourishment project. Mr. Morris advised that, in effect, the beachfront property owners were seeking approval from the COE to continue privatizing the beaches of the State even though federal and State funds were paying for the sand being dumped in front of their palatial beachfront homes. Mr. Morris stated that this proposed violation of the public trust continues while elected and appointed officials did nothing to protect the public trust rights. He said, indeed, it appeared that officials do everything they could to gain favor among the well to do oceanfront property owners while ignoring the public trust rights of American taxpayers. Mr. Morris said if the Whalehead subdivision and the Town of Pine Knoll Shores were allowed to privatize the oceanfront beaches in their areas, the practice would undoubtedly spread to all the coastal areas of the state. Mr. Morris said to paraphrase a statement recently made by Governor Easley which was analogous to beach access; "Our state is indeed fortunate to have so many natural resources and as the heirs we have a special responsibility to take care of this bounty." Mr. Morris urged the Governor's office, DCM and the court system to uphold the rights of the people by insuring compliance with federal and State standards for public access to all of the beaches in our State. Vice -Chairperson Hackney thanked Mr. Morris for his comments. Nobody else asked to address the CRC CRC/CRAC Committee as a Whole Vice -Chairperson Hackney advised that the two standing committees were now meeting as a committee of the whole. Holden Beach Land Use Plan Amendment fP&SI-03-01 Kathy Vinson said what was before the CRC today was a proposed amendment to the 1997 Town of Holden Beach Land Use Plan Update. She said this plan was certified by the CRC in November of 1998. Ms. Vinson reported that what the Town of Holden Beach was proposing to do was to clarify that they would allow bulkhead construction consistent with State standards. Ms. Vinson introduced Steven Wheeler, Holden Beach Town Manager. Ms. Vinson advised that the current policy in the plan that was certified in 1998 states unequivocally that the Town intends to prevent damage to existing coastal and freshwater marshes resulting from bulkhead construction. Ms. Vinson said DCM's regulatory staff had determined that correct application of this policy to a CAMA major permit would require a proposed bulkhead to be aligned landward of all vegetated wetlands at the construction site. Ms. Vinson said the Town says this is stricter than what they intended since the CRC's minimum use standards allow that bulkheads be constructed landward of just significant marshlands and marshgrass fringes IL Michael F.

Director Division of Water Quality !7EY ED 2 2005 Morehead City DCM Subject: Request for Stormwater Management Permit Application Allen Wooten Site Stormwater Project No. SW8 010429 Pender County Dear Mr. Wooten: On January 25, 2005, the Wilmington Regional Office received a copy of a Notice of Violation and Request to Cease Unauthorized Development for the subject project. The Division previously issued an exemption for this project, but due to the unauthorized addition of 21 linear feet of concrete boat ramp, and the creation of approximately 6,060 ft2 of built -upon area within the 30' AEC with packed gravel, the Division is now requiring you to submit a new Stormwater Management Permit application to address the additional built -upon area. The North Carolina Administrative Code requires any project that must receive either Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan approval and/or a CAMA Major permit, or modifications to these permits after January 1, 1988, to apply for and receive a Stormwater Management Permit by the Division of Water Quality. Any construction on the subject site, prior to receipt of the required permit, will constitute a violation of 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and may result in appropriate enforcement action by this Office. Please submit a Stormwater Management Permit Application Package including 2 sets of plans, completed application form, fee, and supporting documentation, no later than February 25, 2005. Failure to respond to this request may result in the initiation of enforcement action, and construction may experience a subsequent delay. The NPDES 010000 Federal Stormwater Permit that accompanies the Erosion Control Plan approval letter must NOT be considered the Coastal Stormwater Management Permit, which will be signed by the Water Quality Supervisor. Please reference the Project Number above on all correspondence. If you have any questions, please call me at (910)-395-3900.

NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED DEVELOPMENT CAMA VIOLATION !105-03D Dear Mr. Wooten: This letter confirms that on 23 December 2004, you, District Manager Jim Gregson, Coastal Management Representative Jon Giles, and I were onsite your property located at the Hampstead Marina, off SR 1606, 122 Broadview Lane, adjacent to the AIWW (Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway) located in or near Hampstead, Pender County, North Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate development not authorized by State Permit number 50-02. The unauthorized development involves the installation of additional linear footage of the southwest wall adjacent to the boat ramp; adding linear footage to the boat ramp; installation of a. basin channel marker piling; installation of two cluster piles; and the grading and filling with loose rock and gravel within the 30' Coastal Shoreline buffer on or near property adjacent to the AIWW. This letter also confirms a prior site visit to this subject property by Jim Gregson and me on 23 November 2004. This letter further confirms a brief meeting on 23 December 2004 with you, your father-in-law Mr. Honeycutt, and me prior to the meeting with Mr. Gregson. Information gathered by me for the Division of Coastal Management indicates that you have undertaken major development in violation of the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). No person may undertake Major Development in a designated Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) without first obtaining a permit from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This requirement is imposed by North Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118. I have information that indicates you have undertaken or are legally responsible for the following unauthorized development on the aforementioned property: 1. Installation of an additional 21 linear feet of wooden wall parallel to the boat ramp on the southwest side of the boat ramp. 50 linear feet was permitted, however, field measurements indicate the wall is at least 71 linear feet. It appears the waterward termination is in alignment with existing pilings on adjacent property to the southwest, however the additional 21' extends landward due to the re -sloping and re -surfacing of the boat ramp and is not authorized or described by State Permit No. 05-02. 2. Installation of an additional 21 linear feet of concrete boat ramp. The existing boat ramp (26' wide by 60' long) was permitted to be resurfaced and repaired, however the additional 21' extends landward due to the re -sloping and re -surfacing of the boat ramp and is not described or authorized by State Permit No. 05.02. 3. Installation of a wooden piling on the southwestern tip of a sand shoal within the Hampstead Marina basin. This piling was not described or authorized by State Permit No. 05-02. 151-B Hwy. 24, Hestron Plaza II, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-2808 \ FAX: 252-247-3330 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net Mr. Allen Wooten Hampstead Marina, Inc. 21 January 2005 Page 2 of 4 4. Installation of at least two (2) wooden piling clusters within the Hampstead Marina basin. These pilings are not described or authorized by State Permit No. 05.02. 5. Grading and filling with loose rock and gravel within 30' of the normal high water level in area at least ±30' feet wide north to south by approximately ±202' feet in length east to west encompassing approximately 6,060 square feet in area. The rock and gravel is packed to serve as a parking and driveway area. Coastal Shorelines category includes Estuarine Shoreline. The Estuarine Shoreline AEC, in part, extends from the normal high water level for a distance of 75 feet landward. Within the Coastal Shoreline AEC buffer, new development shall be located a distance of 30 feet landward of the normal high water level. The grading and filling with this rock and gravel within the Coastal Shoreline AEC is not described or authorized by State Permit No. 05.02. This activity took place in Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Area, and Coastal Shoreline areas that are contiguous with the AIWW near Topsail Sound. Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Area, and Coastal Shoreline areas are designated as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). No permit was issued to you for work in this area. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notice of Violation for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further unauthorized activities within designated Areas of Environmental Concern. A civil assessment of up to $2,500 may be assessed against any violator. Each day that the development described in this notice is continued or repeated may constitute a separate violation that is subject to an additional assessment of up to $2,500. An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to enforce any violation (N.C.G.S.113A-126). It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to levy a minimum civil assessment of $500.00 not to exceed $2,500 against all violations. This is done to recoup some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources. Whether a higher amount will be assessed depends on several factors, including the nature and area of the resources that were affected and the extent of the damage to them. Based upon the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 07H. State Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern, part of the activity you have undertaken, filling and grading with rock and gravel in the Coastal Shoreline AEC 30' buffer zone, is not consistent with Section 07H .0209(d), which does not allow non -water dependent development within 30' landward of the normal high water level. Therefore, I am requesting that all loose rock and gravel material be removed within 30' landward of the normal high water level. It is acknowledged that a driveway existed prior to the unauthorized development and in this case, may be allowed to remain. The Coastal Resources Commission rules allow development over existing impervious surfaces provided that it is not enlarged and complies with the rules to the maximum extent feasible. Please refer to the enclosed Restoration Agreement for specific restoration guidelines. Likewise, upon review of the Coastal Area Management Act, Coastal Resource Commission's rules, and the local jurisdiction's Land Use Plan, the other activity you have undertaken: the landward extension of the southwest wall adjacent to the boat ramp, the landward extension of the boat ramp, the installation of the navigation pile, and the installation of the cluster pilings, appear consistent with the guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern. Therefore, restoration of the impacted area is not requested at this time with the exception of providing permanent reflectors on the freestanding cluster piles and navigation marker pile to make them more visible. However, please be advised that upon request, you must be able to provide us proof that you have given your adjacent riparian property owner(s) notice of this unauthorized development and provided them the opportunity to comment to the Division of Coastal Management. 151-B Hwy. 24, Hestron Plaza II, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-2808 \ FAX: 252-247-3330 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net r Mr. Allen Wooten Hampstead Marina, Inc. 21 January 2005 Page 3 of 4 Should you be requested to provide this documentation, you must provide confirmation that a written statement has been obtained, signed by the adjacent riparian property owners, indicating that they have no objection to the completed work; or you must provide confirmation that the adjacent riparian property owners have been notified by certified mail of the completed work. This notice shall instruct adjacent property owners to provide any comments on the completed development in writing to this Division within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice and shall indicate that no response from them will be interpreted as not having any objection If you intend to cooperate with my request, please sign one of the attached Restoration Agreements and return it to me in the enclosed, self-addressed envelope within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter. Failure to comply with this request or respond back to this office prior to the requested deadline with an acceptable schedule for compliance will be interpreted as a refusal to cooperate and will result in a Notice of Continuing Violation, as well as a court injunction being sought ordering compliance. 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 completion of the restoration as requested in the Restoration Plan Agreement to the satisfaction of the Division of Coastal Management, you will be notified as to the amount of the civil assessment for undertaking development without first obtaining the proper permit(s) and/or development that is inconsistent with Coastal Resources Commission rules.

I used a magnifying glass and based upon my review, it appears the waterward extent of the south wall adjacent to the boat ramp are reasonably in alignment with the adjacent structures's waterward extent existing at that time. Actually, the structures existing at that time on Wooten's property shown in this photo appear to extend to some degree beyond the last (waterward) pole on the southwestern adjacent property (now Piermeyer's property). Based on my site visits to the property and the photos I took (attached) showing the alignment of the south boat ramp wall and the last (waterward) pole on the adjacent property, I am satisfied it appears that the structures are reasonably in alignment with each other's waterward extent, or replaced in close proximity of the once existing poles/structures.

Piepmeyer@ gene.ge.com>, "Kevin Strickland (E-mail)" <stricklandkevin @ bellsouth.net> Mr. Gregson, My name is David Piepmeyer and my family and I reside at 122 Broadview Lane, Hampstead NC. I am the adjoining property owner on the southwest side of Hampstead Marina. On the afternoon of December 23rd, I noticed some activity in my landing and went down to investigate. At that time, I introduced myself to three CAMA representatives and asked if I could help them with anything. The CAMA representatives asked me several questions about Hampstead Marina's recently built groin's effect on my riparian access. They also questioned me about the groin construction timing, the physical length of the groin into the water as compared to the previously existing mooring poles and the ending location of a residential easement on my lot. I answered all these questions to the best of my knowledge and added that the groin in question is not displayed on Hampstead Marina's February 2002 CAMA site plan. One of the CAMA representatives looked at the February 2002 site map and agreed with my comment. Also I noted that at the time of the groin construction (sometime around November 2002), 1 asked Mr. Allen Wooten if he had wavier documentation for the groin construction. Mr. Wooten assured me that everything was in order and he would provide me with all the proper paperwork. Although I have 1 of 4 1/25/2005 11:38 AM Re: [Fwd: Possibly spam: Hampstead Marina] asked on several occasions since that time, no paperwork or wavier has been sent to me as of this date. One of the CAMA representatives indicated that at a minimum, I would be sent a waiver to review and this would allow me an avenue to voice my concerns. Since I have not been contacted since December 23rd with regards to the above mentioned subjects, I felt that it was in my best interest to send you this email. The following are my comments and concerns regarding the Hampstead Marina groin construction. CONCERNS: I . The fact that I, an adjoining property owner, was not included in the process as outlined in the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Chapter 7H, Coastal Management, Section 1400, Subsection 1402. 2. That the groin construction has occurred and was not present on Hampstead Marina's February 2002 site plan, which suggests that the groin construction was not properly reviewed by CAMA and was not part of the original permit issued by CAMA to Hampstead Marina. 3. That Hampstead Marina's newly constructed groin is not perpendicular to the shoreline and extends more than the allowed 25 feet waterward of the normal high water level. (15A NCAC 07H .1405 Specific Conditions, paragraph (a)). This violation in of itself affects my riparian access by inhibiting my ability to back a boat trailer down my landing. 4. The required 15 foot set back from my property line was violated and I was never properly contacted or given an opportunity to object prior to Mr. Wooten initiating the groin construction.

On th I noticed some activity in my landing and went down to investigate. At that tin CAMA representatives and asked if I could help them with anything. The CAI several questions about Hampstead Marina's recently built groin's effect on n questioned me about the groin construction timing, the physical length of the compared to the previously existing mooring poles and the ending location of lot. I answered all these questions to the best of my knowledge and added th displayed on Hampstead Marina's February 2002 CAMA site plan. One of th at the February 2002 site map and agreed with my comment. Also I noted th construction (sometime around November 2002), 1 asked Mr. Allen Wooten it for the groin construction. Mr. Wooten assured me that everything was in arc with all the proper paperwork. Although I have asked on several occasions s wavier has been sent to me as of this date. "Kevin Strickland ne, Hampstead NC. I am the afternoon of December 23rd e, I introduced myself to three 1A representatives asked me y riparian access.

Since I have not been contacted since December 23rd with regards to the above mentioned subjects, I felt that it was in my best interest to send you this email. The following are my comments and concerns regarding the Hampstead Mari Ina groin construction. CONCERNS: 1. The fact that I, an adjoining property owner, was not included in the process as outlined in the North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Chapter 7H, Coastal Management, Section 1400, Subsection 1402. 2. That the groin construction has occurred and was not present on Hampstead Marina's February 2002 site plan, which suggests that the groin construction was not properly reviewed by CAMA and was not part of the original permit issued by CAMA to Hampstead Marina. 3. That Hampstead Marina's newly constructed groin is not perpendicular to the shoreline and extends more than the allowed 25 feet watenvard of the normal high water level. (15A NCAC 07H .1405 Specific Conditions, paragraph (a)). This violation in of itself affects my riparian access by inhibiting my ability to back a boat trailer down my landing. 1 4. The required 15 foot setback from my property line was violated and I was never properly contacted or given an opportunity to object prior to Mr. Wooten initiating the groinll construction. No waiver form was ever sent to me.notifying me of Mr. Wooten's intentions with regards to the groin construction. (15A NCAC 07H .1402 Specific Conditions, paragraph (c)). 5. That the newly constructed groin is catching all the sediment causing my landing to fill in and thus affecting my riparian access. Additionally, at some point, this filling in of my landing will force me to apply for more CAMA permits and pay for more physical dredging than would have been required if the groin had not been built (that is assuming I can get a CAMA permit). 6. That by merely sending you this list of concerns, that Mr. Wooten, as adjoining property owner, will retaliate and negatively impact my ability to secure any future required CAMA permits for dredging, bulkhead maintenance or landscaping of my property.
