.Dear Mi. Belt:
This letter confirms that on Wednesday 07-Jun-17, Sean Farrell, DCM Field
Representative and I were onsite at your property located at 179.7 $hallotte Inlet Drive
SW adjacent to Intracoastal Waterway located in Shallotte, .Brunswick County, North
Carolina. The purpose of the visit was to investigate unauthorized development of a
Retaining Wall within the Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern. Prior to
mysite visit on Wednesday 07-Jun-17, we spoke on two separate occasions regarding the
unauthorized. developmentafter a stop work order was place on your property on or about
Thursday 01-Jun-17 by an inspector with the Brunswick County Code Administration
office. It was determined that a CAMA Minor Development permit was likely needed,at
that time when you provided a copy of a site plan to Sean Farrell indicating where the
land disturbing, activity occurred on site.
Information gathered by me shows that you have undertaken minor development and no
CAMA Minor Development Permit has been issued for this development activity. No
person may undertake minor development in a designated Area of Environmental
Concern without first obtaining a permit from the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality, 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 constructed a Retaining, Wall on the aforementioned property. This
activity took place in Estuarine Shoreline AEC that is contiguous with the Intracoastal
Waterway. Estuarine Shoreline areas are designated as Area(s) of Environmental
Concern (AEC).
