I have reviewed the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning the necessary filing of an
application for a minor development permit under the Coastal Area Management Act After making a site
inspection on August 26, 2009,1 have determined that the activity you propose is exempt from needing a
minor development permit as long as it remains consistent with your site drawing and materials list submitted
on August 26, 2009, 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.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR — 115A NCAC 7K .0209(c)1 - Any structure or part thereof may be
