Dee Freeman, Secretary
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation dated Februayr 12, 2010 that Mr. Brad Connell, representative
for the Division of Coastal Management issued to you as contractor for the unauthorized construction of a wooden
ramp and platform at Mr. Sammartino's property located off Garbacon Drive, near Merrimon, Carteret County.
The violation involved Coastal Wetlands, which is an Area of Environmental Concern designated by the Coastal
Resources Commission.
The Coastal Area Management Act provides that a civil assessment of up to $10,000 plus investigative costs may
be assessed for any violation. It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to assess a civil penalty for
all violations in order to recover some of the costs of investigating violations and/or to compensate the public for
any damage to its natural resources.
Under the rules of the Coastal Resources Commission, a proposed civil penalty in the amount of $500 plus $27
investigative costs, for a total of $527, is appropriate for this violation. You may expeditiously resolve this matter
prior to the assessment of a formal civil penalty by accepting responsibility for the violation and paying the amount
proposed above. In order to do this, you must: (1) sign one of the attached copies of an "Agreement to Pay Civil
Assessment;" (2) attach a check or money order for $527 made payable to the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR); and, (3) return the signed agreement and payment to this office
in the enclosed, self-addressed envelope within ten (10) days of your receipt of this letter. Upon deposit of your
check in the Department's account, you will receive a Notice of Compliance officially closing this enforcement
action.
If you do not send a signed agreement and payment to this office within ten (10) days, the Director of the Division
of Coastal Management will formally assess a civil penalty against you. You will then have the opportunity to
request a hearing on the penalty or request remission of the penalty.

RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND REQUEST TO CEASE UNAUTHORIZED
DEVELOPMENT
CAMA MINOR VIOLATION #10-18C
Dear Mr. Fitzhenry:
This letter confirms that on September 15, 2010, I was on site at your property located at 5001 Ocean
Drive adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean located in the Town of Emerald Isle, Carteret County, North
Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized development of a newly placed
concrete driveway measuring an area of approximately 496 sq. ft. located landward of the Ocean
Erodible Setback, the static vegetation line and landward of the most landward adjacent structure but
within the High Hazard Flood Area of Environmental Concern (AEC).
Information gathered by me shows that you have undertaken minor development in violation of the
Coastal Area Management Act. No person may undertake minor development in a designated Area of
Environmental Concern (AEC) without first obtaining a permit from the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, North Carolina General Statutes (N.C.G.S.) 113A-118.
I have information that you have undertaken, or are legally responsible for, minor development by
unauthorized development of a newly placed concrete driveway measuring an area of approximately
496 sq. ft. located landward of the Ocean Erodible Setback, the static vegetation line and landward of
the most landward adjacent structure on the aforementioned property. This activity took place in the
High Hazard Flood Area that is contiguous with the Atlantic Ocean. The High Hazard Flood areas are
designated as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). No permit was issued to you for work in this
T 1A r' RECEIVED
area. Based on these findings, I am initiating an enforcement action by issuing this Notgf q) lZr"n
for violation of the Coastal Area Management Act. Morehead Cf y DCM
I request that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any further development and contact me about
this important matter. A civil assessment of up to $1,000 may be assessed against any violator. Each
day that the development described in this Notice is continued or repeated may constitute a separate
violation that is subject to an additional assessment of $1,000. An injunction or criminal penalty may
also be sought to enforce any violation in accordance with N.C.G.S. 113A-126.
It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) to levy a civil assessment not to exceed
$1,000 plus investigative costs against all violations. This is done to recoup some of the costs of
investigating the violation and/or to compensate the public for any damage to its natural resources.
Whether a higher amount will be assessed will depend on several factors, including the nature and area
of the resources 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, the activity you have undertaken, a newly placed concrete driveway
measuring an area of approximately 496 sq. ft. in the High Hazard Flood AEC, appears consistent with
Section 7H. 0306, which regulates this type of development, therefore, I am not requesting restoration
at this time.
I request that you contact me immediately about this matter. The relevant statute 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 immediate future to determine whether this REQUEST
TO CEASE AND DESIST has been complied with. Upon submission of my enforcement report to
the Division of Coastal Management (DCM), you will be notified by the Division as to the amount of a
civil assessment for undertaking development without first obtaining the proper permit(s).
