Based on the information provided, I have determined that the activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor development permit as long as it remains consistent with and meets the conditions specified below. If your plans should change and your project will no longer meet these conditions, please contact me before proceeding. This exemption to CAMA permit requirements does not alleviate the necessity of your obtaining any other State, Federal or Local authorization. STRUCTURAL ACCESSWAY EXEMPTED 1. The accessway must not exceed six feet in width and shall provide only pedestrian access to the ocean beach. 2. The accessway must be constructed so as to make negligible alterations to the frontal dunes. This means that the accessway must be constructed on raised posts or pilings of five feet or less in depth, so that wherever possible only the posts or pilings touch the frontal dunes without any alteration to the dunes. In no case shall the frontal dune be altered so as to significantly diminish its capacity as a protective barrier against flooding and erosion. 3. Construction of the accessway be shall consistent with all other applicable local ordinances and N. C. Building Code standards. 4. No portion of the proposed walkway may extend beyond 6’ seaward of the waterward toe of the dune, nor shall it extend onto the wet sand beach.
