Fayetteville, NC 28305 RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND NOTICE OF FAILURE TO OBTAIN A MINOR CAMA PERMIT AND A BUILDING PERMIT. Dear Mr. David Forbis: This letter confirms that myself and the Building Inspector Doug Gillette, was at 128 Lumberton, NC in Brunswick County on May 11, 2001, to investigate the possibility of development activity within an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) on a Estuarine Shoreline without proper authorization. No person may undertake activity constituting minor development within a designated AEC without first obtaining a Minor Development Permit from the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources ora Local Government with an approved Coastal Area Management Implementation and Enforcement program. This requirement is imposed by North Carolina General Statues (NCGS) 113A-118. No Minor Development Permit has been issued for this development activity. If you can provide a valid Minor CAMA Permit please submit to our office as soon as possible. My visit verified that there had recently been a concrete slab poured. An 11'6" x 1519" concrete slab had been poured under an existing porch. A 13'4" x 8' concrete slab had been poured under a existing uncovered area where steps are located. A 12'1" x 12' 8" concrete slab had been poured under a existing uncovered deck. NOTE: All newly poured concrete is located on the canal side of the residence. From the bulkhead (normal high water) to the canal edge of the concrete is a distance of 19'. It appears that almost all of the newly poured concrete has bn poured within the 30-foot buffer area. 126(d)(1)(a). , Visit www.hbtownhall.com o H Z LLI tL W 00 Z Q OZ Q _WM � J Q J DCM ENFORCEMENT REPORT'i (Use for Nalvers) z 4 I 6 i 2001 rase r: Permit #: )-62 Violb)4tonsultant: Name::—,,)(-A�ld Forbes 1 Address: � n�O U( ��� \� d City: �{) �(t✓TIC\%!

I request that you IMMEDIATELY CEASE AND DESIST any further unauthorized development activities within designated AECs on this property. If the development completed to date is not consistent with the applicable standard, you may be required to restore the land to its former condition and/or bring all aspects of the project into compliance. A civil assessment of up to $250.00 may be assessed against any violator. Each day that the development activity described in this Notice is continued or repeated may constitute a separate violation which is subject to an additional assessment of up to $250.00. An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to enforce any violation (NCGS 113a-126). It is the policy of the Coastal Resources Commission to levy a minimum civil assessment of $50.00 against all violators of CAMA Minor Development Permit requirements. This is done to recover 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 amount of resources affected and the extent of damage to them. If any requested restoration is not undertaken or completed satisfactorily, a higher civil assessment may be levied and a court injunction sought to order restoration. The enclosed Restoration Plan describes the action necessary to bring this project into compliance with the Act. Please sign the. Restoration,Agreement and return it to me by May 31, 2001.

Being excited about owning my first beach house I wanted to make all necessary repairs. As requested, I have stopped all work at the home. Regarding the infraction of not obtaining a building and CAMA permit, I did not know a building permit was required to repair the concrete. I have taken the step of hiring a local contractor to guide me. I realize now that I was not fully aware of all the documents needed.
