STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA BEFORE THE CHAIRMAN
COASTAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
COUNTY OF BRUNSWICK CMT-09-13
IN THE MATTER OF THE THIRD PARTY RECOMMENDATION OF THE
HEARING REQUEST BY DIVISION OF COASTAL
KEVAN BUSIK MANAGEMENT
I. BACKGROUND
Petitioner Kevan Busik (Petitioner) requests permission to file a petition for a contested
case hearing as a third party pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b). Petitioner seeks to challenge
the October 9, 2009 issuance of Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Minor Permit No.
2009-12, issued by Daralyn Spivey, the CAMA Local Permit Official (LPO) for the Village of
Bald Head Island (Village) to Natale Kuey (Permittee), the representative for the landowner,
1118 Longwood Avenue Realty Corporation (Longwood).
Under the CAMA, a third party may file a contested case hearing petition to challenge the
granting or denial of a CAMA permit to someone else only if the Coastal Resources Commission
(CRC) first determines that a contested case hearing is appropriate_ N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)
provides that along with being timely filed, the determination as to whether a hearing is
appropriate should be based upon a consideration of whether the petitioner:.
1. Has alleged that the decision is contrary to a statute or rule;
2. Is directly affected by the decision; and
3. Has alleged facts or made legal arguments that demonstrate that the hearing
request is not frivolous.
The CRC has delegated the authority to. its Chairman to determine whether a third party
request for a hearing should be granted or denied. Rule 15A NCAC 7J .0301(b). A third party
Page 1 of 11
whose hearing request is granted may file a contested case hearing petition with the Office of
Administrative Hearings. N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1 (b) A third party whose hearing request is
denied may seek judicial review. Id.
II. FACTS
A. The Permittee is Ms. Natale Kuey (Permittee), acting as the representative for the
property owner of record, 1118 Longwood Avenue Realty Corporation (Longwood), a New
York corporation. This entity was incorporated in New York on July 11, 1995 and is an active
corporation according to the state's corporation website. Longwood owns property known as
Lot 4030 of Cape Fear Station Single Family 14 Subdivision (Map 23/538) on Bald Head Island
(the site). Longwood has owned this property since March 24, 2003, as evidenced by a deed
recorded at Book 1720, Page 60 of the Brunswick County Registry. Currently this site is
undeveloped.
B. Petitioner owns Lot 4032 of Cape Fear Station Single Family 14 Subdivision
(Map 23/538), also on Bald Head Island. This lot is located adjacent to, and to the north of the
site at issue in this case. Petitioner has owned this lot since May 11, 2009, as evidenced by a
deed recorded at Book 12924, Page 904 of the Brunswick County Registry. Currently,
Petitioners' property has a 4,797 square foot home located on it, which was built in 2005.
C. The site is located adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, and the proposed residence is
within the High Hazard Flood and Ocean Erodible Area sub -categories of the Ocean Hazard
Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). Accordingly, any development on this site requires a
CAMA permit perN.C.G.S. § 113A-1.18.
D. At this site, the applicable long-term annual erosion rate per 15A NCAC 7H.0304
is 2.0 feet per year.
Page 2 of 11
E. In this case, the Perlmttee's agent incorrectly listed the total enclosed floor area of
the building within the AEC as 6,500 square feet. He based his calculation on the old setback
8 F A -+s+Ar —
rules which included roof -covered deck areas. The Commission's "new" setback rules, which
went into effect on August 11, 2009, no longer include roof -covered deck areas as total enclosed
floor area. Based on the construction drawings and the application submitted for a building
permit, the LPO calculated the total of the heated or air-conditioned living space, including the
two stories of the house and the crofter over the garage, as 4,878 square feet. Per the definition
in 15A NCAC 7H.0306(a)(1), this is the figure to use to determine the setback. A copy of the
�q D1 building permit application is attached.
F. Since the applicable long-term erosion rate is 2 feet per year, and because the
¢aq1
proposed house has a total of 4,878 total floor area based on the definition found at 15A NCAC
7H.0306(a)(1), the resulting applicable setback for the proposed development is 60 feet, per 15A
NCAC 7H.0306(a)(2)(A).
G. On or about September 28, 2009, the Village's received an application for a
CAMA minor permit from Mr. Wayne Lambert, Agent for the Permittee. The Permittee was
f acl-a.
proposing to develop a 4,878 square foot single family residence and associated landscaping. A
copy of the CAMA permit application and plat drawing is attached.
H. As part of the CAMA minor permit review process, the Permittee sent notice of
the proposed project to the adjacent riparian owners, which includes the Petitioner. USPS
tracking shows that Petitioner received the notice on September 30, 2009. No objection letters
were received before the permit was issued. The required notice to the public through a
newspaper ad and posting on -site was also completed.
Page 3 of 11
I. On October 9, 2009 T&e Village's LPO issued CAMA Minor Permit No. 2009-
12 to the Permittee.
I On October 21, 2009, the Village received an objection letter from Attorneys
Prevatte & Prevatte, PPLC representing Petitioner. A copy of this objection letter is attached.
K. On or about October !�, 2009 (Heather is getting this), as part of the LPO
permit program review process, staff from the DCM Wilmington Regional Office reviewed the
permit, and after spotting the incorrect figure of a 6,500 square foot enclosed floor area structure
only using a 60-foot setback, contacted the LPO and resolved the issue. It was found that the
correct figure for the heated or air conditioned living space under the "new" rule and definition
ya9I-
was actually 4,878 square feet.
L. On October 28, 2009 the Village faxed a letter to Petitioner's counsel notifying
them of the permit issuance on October 9, 2009 and the appeal rights for third -parties under the
CAMA which had to be received by DCM within 20 days of the permit issuance date. A copy of
this letter is attached.
M. On October 31, 2009, DCM received this third parry hearing request from
Petitioner, seeking to challenge the issuance by DCM of CAMA Minor Permit No. 2009-12.

Page 11 of 11
III. DCM'S RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Was the appeal of the permit timely filed?
No. As an initial matter of jurisdiction, the CAMA specifically requires that third
parties
... may file a petition for a contested case hearing only if the Commission determines
that a hearing is appropriate. A request for a determination of the appropriateness of a
contested case hearing shall be made in writing and received by the Commission within
20 days after the disputed permit decision is made.
N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b) (emphasis added). Petitioners take issue with CAMA Minor Permit
No. 2009-12, which was issued by the Village CAMA LPO on October 9, 2009. The 20-day
appeal period to file a hearing request petition expired on October 29, 2009. Petitioner's counsel
was made aware of this fact on October 28, 2009, through a faxed letter from the Village, but
still failed to submit its appeal to DCM in time. Therefore, the CRC and the Office of
Administrative Hearings (OAH) lack jurisdiction to consider the merits of this untimely Petition.
North Carolina case law is clear that an untimely filing cannot be considered by OAH or
other courts as they lack jurisdiction over the matter. "North Carolina cases interpreting
administrative laws have consistently held that a contested case petition to challenge an agency's
decision must be filed within the statutory deadline." Gaskill v. State, 109 N.C. App. 656, 658,
428 S.E.2d 474, 475, disc. rev. denied, 334 N.C. 163 (citing Gummels v. N.C. Dept. of Human
Resources, 98 N.C. App. 675, 392 S.E.2d 113 (1990)). If a petition is not filed before the
statutory deadline, the court does not obtain subject matter jurisdiction. Gaskill, 109 N.C. App.
at 660, 428 S.E.2d at 476; see also Gummels, 98 N.C. App. at 678, 392 S.E.2d at 115 (holding
the trial court properly affirmed the ALTs dismissal of the petition for a contested case hearing
that was filed in OAH one day late); Lewis v. N. C. Dept. of Human Resources, 92 N.C. App.
Page 5 of 11
737, 741, 375 S.E.2d 712, 715 (1989) (upholding the dismissal of an employee grievance appeal
because it was filed one day late). Subject matter jurisdiction is not waivable by the court or
either party. See Dale v. Lattimore, 12 N.C. App. 348, 183 S.E.2d 417 (1971). Under N.C. Gen.
Stat. § IA-1, Rule 12(h)(3), when a court lacks jurisdiction of the subject matter, the court shall
dismiss the action.
As Petitioner's hearing request, received by DCM on October 30, 2009, was after the
statutory 20-day deadline to file, the appeal period had elapsed and the Petition was one -day late.
Petitioner's untimely filing results in the CRC and OAH lacking jurisdiction to consider the
merits of Petitioner's hearing request.
Notwithstanding the argument for lack of jurisdiction, if the Commission finds that
Petitioners' petition was timely filed and that it has jurisdiction to consider the merits of the
petition, Staff offer the following responses to the statutory criteria which Petitioners must prove
in order to have the right to file a contested case petition in the OAH
B. Has the Petitioner Alleged that the Decision is Contrary to a Statute or Rule?
Yes. In order to prevail in a third party hearing request, a petitioner must first allege
that the agency has made a decision that is contrary to a statute or rule. N.C.G.S. § 113A-
121.1(b)(1). Petitioner states that "Petitioner alleges that the decision is contrary to a Coastal
Area Management Act Rule" and then attached a copy of the text of Rule 15A NCAC 7H.03061
.
Staff agrees that the Petitioner has "alleged that the agency has made a decision that is contrary
to a statute or rule" insofar as Petitioner has alleged the CAMA permit is contrary to 15A NCAC
711.0306. For this reason, Staff agrees Petitioners have met the requirements of N.C.G.S. §
113A-121.1(b)(1).
'Petitioner attached a copy of the "new" version of 7H.0306 which became effective in August 2009 and which was
used for this permit review.
Page 6 of 11
C. Is the Petitioner Directly Affected by the Decision?
No. Staff does not agree that Petitioners meet the requirements of N.C.G.S. § 113A-
121.1(b) (2). Petitioner first states that "Petitioner owns a home located adjacent to the subject
property." (Petitioner's Petition, Exhibit item 2) Adjacent ownership alone fails to qualify a
person as directly affected, without further information about possible harm. Petitioner also
notes that,
Location of house on proposed site interferes with the use and enjoyment of
Petitioner's property in that it obstructs Petitioner's view, is substantially closer to
the ocean and could possibly damage Petitioner's property in the event of a storm.
(Petitioner's Petition, Exhibit item 3) Staff contends that Petitioners' stated concerns about view
are not the focus of the Commission's rules for development within the Ocean Hazard AEC.
According to 15A NCAC 7H.0303 and 7H.0306(a), the purpose of the rules is to protect life and
property. Also, Petitioner's allegation that the permitted development "could possibly damage
Petitioner's property in the event of a storm" is much too speculative to base a whole contested
case on, and could also be made by any oceanfront owner against any other oceanfront owner on
the coast. The Commission's rules at 15A NCAC 7H.0303 recognize that "absolute safety from
the destructive forces indigenous to the Atlantic shoreline is an impossibility for development
located adjacent to the coast." To have a contested case on this issue would be futile. For all
these reasons, Staff contend that Petitioner fails to meet the requirements of N.C.G.S. § 113A-
121.1(b)(2).
Page 7 of 11
D. Has the Petitioner Demonstrated that the Hearing Request is not Frivolous?
No. Staff contend that Petitioner has failed to demonstrate that the hearing request is
not frivolous as required by N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1 (b)(3). Petitioner alleges that the "new"
oceanfront setback rules at 15A NCAC 71-1.0306 were not met. While the incorrect figure on the
CAMA permit application is misleading, further examination of the facts by the LPO and by
DCM staff last week as part of the LPO permit program review process and again through this
4,;I-9j--
staff recommendation, show that the 4,878 square foot total floor area structure must only meet
the 60-foot setback from the vegetation line. As that setback is met by the proposed and
permitted development, there is no reason to have a contested case on this issue. For this reason,
Staff contends that Petitioners have not met the burden of showing that the hearing request is not
frivolous as required by N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1 (b)(3).
Page 8 of 11
IV. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Staff maintains that Petitioner has not met the criteria justifying a
contested case hearing. For the reasons stated herein, the Division of Coastal Management,
through its undersigned attorney, recommends that Petitioner's Third Party Hearing Request be
DENIED by the Chairman.
This the _ day of November, 2009.

IN THE MATTER OF THE )
THIRD PARTY HEARING )
REQUEST BY )
KEVAN BUSIK )
BEFORE THE CHAIRMAN
COASTAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
CMT 09-13
FINAL DECISION
I. PERMIT & REQUEST
Petitioner requests permission to file a petition for contested case hearing as a third party
pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b). Petitioner seeks to challenge a CAMA Minor Permit No.
2009-12, issued to Natale Kuey (Permittee), the representative for the landowner, 1118
Longwood Avenue Realty Corporation, on October 9, 2009.
U. STANDARD OF REVIEW
Under the Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA), a third party may file a contested
case hearing petition to challenge the issuance or denial of a CAMA permit to someone else only
if the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) first determines that a contested case hearing is
appropriate. Section 113A-121.1(b) of the North Carolina General Statutes provides that the
determination as to whether a hearing is appropriate should be based upon a consideration of
whether the petitioner:
1. Has alleged that the decision is contrary to a statute or rule;
2. Is directly affected by the decision; and
3. Has alleged facts or made legal arguments that demonstrate that the
hearing request is not frivolous.
1
The CRC has delegated to its Chairman the authority to determine whether a third party
request for a hearing should be granted or denied. 15A NCAC W .0301(b). A third party whose
hearing request is granted may file a contested case hearing petition with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, and the permit remains suspended pursuant to N.C.G.S. §113A-121.1
(b) and (c). A third party whose hearing request is denied may seek judicial review. Id. If the
third party's hearing.request is denied, the permittee's permit is reinstated by operation of law
pursuant to N.C.G.S. §113A-121.1(6).
III. FACTS
A. The Permittee is Natale Kuey (Pemrittee), acting as the representative for the
property owner of record, 1118 Longwood Avenue Realty Corporation (Longwood), a New
York corporation. Longwood owns property known as Lot 4030 of Cape Fear Station Single
Family 14 Subdivision (Map 23/538) on Bald Head Island (the site). Longwood has owned this
property since March 24, 2003, as evidenced by a deed recorded at Book 1720, Page 60 of the
Brunswick County Registry. Currently this site is undeveloped.
B. Petitioner owns Lot 4032 of Cape Fear Station Single Family 14 Subdivision
(Map 23/538), also on Bald Head Island. This lot is located adjacent to, and to the north of, the
site at issue in this case. Petitioner has owned this lot since May 11, 2009, as evidenced by a
deed recorded at Book 12924, Page 904 of the Brunswick County Registry. Currently,
Petitioners' property has a 4,797 square foot home located on it, which was built in 2005, based
on county records.
K
C. The site is located adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, and the proposed residence is
within the High Hazard Flood and Ocean Erodible Area sub -categories of the Ocean Hazard
Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). Accordingly, any development on this site requires a
CAMA permit per N.C.G.S. § 113A-118.
D. At this site, the applicable long-term annual erosion rate per 15A NCAC 7H .0304
is 2.0 feet per year.
E. On or about September 28, 2009, the Village's Local Permit Official (LPO)
received an application for a CAMA minor permit from Mr. Wayne Lambert, Agent for the
Permittee. The Permittee was proposing to develop a single-family residence and associated
landscaping.
F. In the application for a CAMA minor permit the Permittee's agent incorrectly
listed the total enclosed floor area of the single-family residence located in the AEC as 6,500
square feet. As suggested by the information on the application form completed, the Permittee's
agent based this calculation on the "old" CRC rules which included roof -covered porches in the
total enclosed floor area total. The Commission's "new" rules, which went into effect on August
11, 2009, no longer include roof -covered porches in the total enclosed floor area.
G. Based on the architectural drawings submitted to the Village of Bald Head Island
(the Village), along with the information provided to the Village in the application for a building
permit, the LPO calculated the total of the heated or air-conditioned living space for the two-
story house, as 4,292 square feet. Therefore, per the definition in 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(1),
the proposed structure is less than 5,000 square feet for purposes of determining the correct
setback.
3
H. Based on the total floor area of the structure as defined above and given the
applicable long-term erosion rate of 2.0 feet per year, the resulting applicable setback for the
proposed development is 60 feet, per 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(2)(A).
I. As part of the CAMA minor permit review process, the Permittee sent notice of
the proposed project to the adjacent riparian owners, which includes the Petitioner. The required
notice to the public through a newspaper ad and posting on -site was also completed. United
States Postal Service tracking shows that Petitioner received the notice on September 30, 2009.
On October 9, 2009, the Village's LPO issued CAMA Minor Permit No. 2009-12
to the Permittee. No objection letters were received before the permit was issued.
K. On October 21, 2009, the Village received an objection letter from Attorneys
Prevatte & Prevatte, PLLC representing Petitioner.
L. On or about October 26; 2009, as part of the LPO permit program review process,
staff from the DCM Wilmington Regional Office reviewed the permit, and after spotting what
appeared to be an error allowing a 6,500 square foot enclosed floor area structure to use only a
60-foot setback, DCM contacted the LPO to resolve the issue. It was determined, as indicated in
the application for building permit and attached plans, that the correct figure for the heated or
air-conditioned living space under the "new" rule and definition was 4,292 square feet.
M. On October 28, 2009, the LPO faxed a letter to Petitioner's counsel notifying
them of the perrnit issuance on October 9, 2009 and the appeal rights for third -parties under
CAMA, including the need for such document to be received by DCM within 20 days of the
permit issuance date.
M. On October 30, 2009, DCM received this third party hearing request from
Petitioner seeking to challenge the issuance by DCM of CAMA Minor Permit No. 2009-12.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The Coastal Area Management Act was adopted, in significant part, to address
"development," as defined in N.C.G.S. § 113A-103(5a) in any area that the CRC may designate
as an "Area of Environmental Concern," pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 113A-113.
2. The CRC has by rule designated the High Hazard Flood Area and Ocean Erodible Area
of the Ocean Hazard Area as areas of Environmental Concern. 15A NCAC 07H .0301 and 15A
NCAC 07H .0304.
3. CAMA requires that third parties who wish to challenge a decision to deny or grant a
minor or major development permit file their hearing request "within 20 days after the disputed
permit decision is made." N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b). The statutory right to request a third party
hearing is not given for any other actions taken: e.g., civil penalties assessed against the permitee
for violations of CAMA or the CRC's rules that occur during development pursuant to a permit
granted by DCM.
In the present case, DCM issued its decision to grant Natale Kuey's CAMA minor permit
for construction of a single-family dwelling on October 9, 2009. The deadline for any petitions
challenging the decision expired on October 29, 2009, before Petitioner's request for third party
hearing was received on October 30, 2009. For this reason alone the third party hearing request
is DENIED.
5
4. In the event that a court determines that the twenty -day deadline of N.C.G.S. § 113A-
121.1(b) does not bar Petitioner's hearing request, the Chairman addresses the factors set forth in
N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(1)-(3) as follows:
A. Petitioner has alleged the issuance of CAMA Minor Permit No. 2009-12
to Natale Kuey, as the representative for 1118 Longwood Avenue Realty Corporation,
has violated the provisions of 15A NCAC 7H .0306; therefore, Petitioner's request meets
requirements of N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(1).
B. Petitioner alleges that he owns the property adjacent to the property in
question. He further alleges that he is harmed by the approved development because it is
substantially closer to the ocean than Petitioner's property and may obstruct Petitioner's
view and could possibly damage Petitioner's property in the event of a storm. The CRC
rules do not address view as a criteria for development within the Ocean Hazard AEC
and the allegation concerning potential harm is not supported by any facts to distinguish
why this property is any different than any other property built adjacent to the coast;
therefore, Petitioner's request does not meet the requirements of N.C.G.S. § 113A-
121.1(b)(2).
C. Admitting that there is an error in the CAMA Minor permit application
form stating the size of the structure to be 6,500 square feet total enclosed floor area,
including roof -covered porches, instead of 4,292 square feet total heated or air-
conditioned living spaces, excluding covered porches (per CRC rule 15A NCAC 07H
.0306, effective August 11, 2009), as shown on the building permit application and
attached architectural drawings, Petitioner has not demonstrated that issuance of the
3
■
permit allowing construction with a 60-foot setback violates CAMA or the CRC's rules.
Therefore, Petitioner has not demonstrated that his appeal would not be frivolous and
would meet the requirements of N.C.G.S. § 113A-121.1(b)(3).
V. DECISION
For the reasons stated herein, Petitioner's third party hearing request is DENTED.
This the 13th day of November 2009.

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Re: Suspension of Work / Appeal of CAMA Permit Decision
Dear Mr. and Mrs, Kuey:
The Chairman of the Coastal Resources Commission, Robert Emory, has received a request for
an administrative hearing to challenge CAMA Minor Permit #2009-12. The Third Party Hearing
Request was filed on behalf of petitioner Kevan Busik on October 30, 2009. Under N.C.G.S.
§ 113A-121.1 (the Coastal Area Management Act), your CAMA permit is automatically
suspended upon receipt of a hearing request and will remain suspended until either: (1)
Chairman Emory denies the hearing request (under standards set out in the statute); or (2) there is
a final Coastal Resources Commission decision on the permit appeal. You may not undertake
any development under the permit until further notice after Chairman Emory issues his decision.
The Division of Coastal Management will prepare a recommendation for the Chairman on
whether to grant or deny the hearing request. The Chairman must make a decision within 15
days after receipt of the hearing request. Therefore his decision is due close of business on
November 16, 2009. If you wish to submit any materials for the Chairman's consideration in
ruling on the request for contested case hearing, please send them to me as soon as possible.

by Robert R. Emory, who denied Petitioner's request for a third -party hearing regarding the

10. The Superior Court of Brunswick County is the appropriate venue to hear this

Carolina General Statutes, because the land in question is Iocated in Brunswick County and the
CAMA Permit was issued in Brunswick County. Additionally, Petitioner has a residence
constructed on Lot 4032.
STATEMENT OF THE FACTS
11. The Subject Property is a part of Bald Head Island Stage Two located on Bald Head
Island, and was acquired by Bald Head Island Limited, a Texas limited partnership, in June, 1983.
Bald Head Island Limited began development of Bald Head Island Stage Two in 1995, as stated in"
the Protective Covenants, Bald Head Island Stage Two, recorded in Book 1045 at Page 676 in the
ld
Brunswick County Registry. The Cape Fear Station Single Family 14 Map was recorded in Map
Book 23 at Page 538 in the Brunswick County Registry on February 14, 2001. This Cape Feaz
Station Single Family 14 Map ("Single Family 14 Map") shows Lot 4030 and Lot 4032, which are
adjacent to each other. Lot 4020, Lot 4022, Lot 4024, Lot 4026, Lot 4028, Lot 4030, Lot 4032, and
Lot 4034 are shown on the Single Family 14 Map as bordering the Atlantic Ocean. A conservation
easement is indicated on the eight lots by a shaded area that is located between the Atlantic Ocean
and the buildable area of the eight tots.
12. Petitioner's Lot 4032 is located directly adjacent to and to the north of Lot 4030.
Based on Brunswick County public records, Lot 4032 has a 4,797 square foot residence on it,
built in 2005.
13. On April 8, 2009, Homesales, Inc. d/b/a/ Homesales, Inc. of Delaware conveyed Lot
4032 Single Family 14, Cape Fear Station, Bald Head Island as shown on the recorded plat for Cape
Fear Station Single Family 14 to Kevin [sic] Busik, 6603 Route 202, New Hope, PA, which deed is
recorded in Book 2924 at Page 904 of the Brunswick County Registry ("Lot 4032"). The legal
description was by reference to the recorded plat of Cape Fear Station Single Family 14 and
incorporated by reference the legal description of the property conveyed via the Substitute Trustee's
Deed dated July 21, 2008 and recorded in Book 2820 at Page 953 of the Brunswick County
Registry, which conveyed Lot 4032 to Homesales, Inc. d/b/a/ Homesales, Inc., of Delaware.
14. On March 24, 2003, Howard M. Long and wife, Diane T. Long, conveyed Lot
4030 Single Family 14, Cape Fear Station, Bald Head Island as shown on the recorded plat for

15. Lot 4030 and Lot 4032 lie adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. Both lots are within the
High Hazard Flood and Ocean Erodible Area sub -categories of the Ocean Hazard Area of
Environmental Concern (AEC). Pursuant to N.C. GEN. STAT. § 113A-118, any development on
these properties requires a CAMA permit.
16. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 7H.0304, the long-term annual erosion rate for this area is
2.0 feet per year.
17. On August 11, 2009, new setback rules went into effect regarding the total
enclosed floor area total. The new rules no longer required inclusion of roof -covered porches in
the total enclosed floor area.
18. In the September 28, 2009 Natale Kuey CAMA Permit Application ("Permit
Application"), Natale Kuey was listed as the "Land Owner," and Wayne Lambert was listed as
the "Authorized Agent." However, no DCM authorized agent form was signed by the owner of
the property, Respondent Longwood. The size of the lot was listed as 40,000 square feet, and the
total enclosed floor area of a building in the Ocean Hazard Area of Environmental Concern
(AEC) was listed as 6,500 square feet, which number included all floors and roof covered decks.
The size of the building footprint and other impervious or built -upon surfaces in the Coastal
Shoreline. AEC was listed as 8,000 square feet. This calculation included the area of the
roof/drip line of all buildings, driveways, covered decks, concrete or masonry patios, etc., that
within the applicable AEC. Applicants were directed to attach these calculations with their
project drawings. The total built upon area/impervious surface allowed for Lot 4030 was listed
as 5,500 square feet.
2
19. In the Permit Application, the directive for the Statement of Ownership section of
the application stated:
The undersigned, an applicant for a CAMA minor development permit,
being either the owner of property in an AEC or a person authorized to act
as an agent for purposes of applying for a CAMA minor development
permit, certify that the person listed as landowner on this application has a
significant interest in the real property described therein. This interest can
be described as: (check one)
4 an owner or record title, Title is vested in 1118 Longwood Av. Realty
Corp Natale Kuev, see Deed Book 1720 Page 60 in the Brunswick County
Registry of Deeds.
(handwritten sections are indicated by underlining). The Permit Application was signed by
Wayne Lambert.
20. According to United States Postal Service tracking confirmation dated
September 30, 2009, Petitioner received a letter dated September 28, 2009 from Wayne Lambert of
Custom Built Homes, which stated: "Mr. and Mrs. Natale Kuey are applying for a CAMA permit
to build a new residence on Lot #4030 Station House Way, Bald Head Island, NC. The plans of the
new residence are at my office for review."
21. No objection letters were received before the CAMA permit was issued for the
development on Lot 4030. Notice to the public via newspaper ad and on -site posting, as required,
was completed.
22. Daralyn Spivey, CAMA Local Permit Official of Bald Head Island, NC ("LPO"),
issued CAMA Minor Development Permit No. 2009-12 ("Permit") to Natale Kuey on October 9,
M
authorizing development in the Ocean Hazard (AEC) at 230 Station House
Way, Lot 4030, in Bald Head Island, as requested in the pemuttee's
application, dated September 28, 2009. . . . This permit authorizes:
construction of a new single family residence.
7
(1) All proposed development and associated construction must be done in
accordance with the permitted work plat drawings(s) dated received on
September 28, 2009....
(3) Any change or changes in the plans for development, construction, or
land use activities will require a re-evaluation and modification of this
permit.
23. In a letter dated October 20, 2009, James R. Prevatte, Jr., attorney for Petitioner,
alerted Ms. Corey Boyette, Bald Head Island Architectural Review, and Mr. Chris Mitchell,
Assistant Village Manager & Development Services Director, that the plans for Lot 4030's
proposed residence called for the home to be built much closer to the ocean than the other houses
in that area. The Village of Bald Head Island received this objection letter on October 21, 2009.
Mr. Prevatte stated in this letter: "The location of the house appears to be in violation of the
restrictions for `Single Family 14 Cape Fear Station' and most likely, in violation of the
regulations of Coastal Area Management Act. The residence should be in line with that of Mr.
Busik at lot 4032.11
24. On or about October 26, 2009, staff from the DCM Wilmington Regional Office
reviewed the permit as part of the LPO permit program review process. Staff spotted the error of
a 6,500 square foot enclosed floor area structure only using a 60-foot setback, contacted the
LPO, and revised the Application to show the correct heated square footage of the proposed
residence for Lot 4030 under the "new" setback rules and definitions, which were made effective
August 11, 2009.
25. Based on the construction drawings and the application submitted for a building
permit, the LPO changed the calculated total enclosed floor area from the applicant's response of
6,500 square feet 4,292 square feet, pursuant to the "new" setback rules and definitions, made
effective August 11, 2009, in 15A NCAC 7H.0306(a)(1).
3
26. Because the applicable long-term erosion rate is 2 feet per year, and because the
proposed residence for Lot 4030 has a total of 4,292 total floor area based on the definition found
in 15A NCAC 7H.0306(a)(1), the resulting setback applicable to the proposed development on
Lot 4030 is 60 feet, pursuant to 15A NCAC 7H.0306(a)(2)(A).
27. On October 28, 2009, the LPO telefaxed a letter to Petitioner's counsel, Mr.
Prevatte, notifying them of the issuance of the permit on October 9, 2009, and listing the rights
of appeal for third -parties under LAMA. This appeal had to be received by DCM within 20 days
of the permit issuance date, which was October 9, 2009.
28. , In the letter to Mr. Prevatte dated October 28, 2009, Chris McCall, Assistant
Village Manager & Development Services Director/CAMA LPO, stated: "The proposed project
has been determined to comply with local regulations and the Rules of the Coastal Resources
Commission (15A NCAC 07H.0306), and as such, a permit has been issued to authorize the
development." A copy of the permit and the applicable rules were enclosed with this
correspondence.
29. Mr. Prevatte, on behalf of Petitioner, sent a Third Parry Hearing Request on
CAMA Permit No. 2009-12 Decision ("Hearing Request") to the Director of DCM, via
UPS/Overnight delivery, on October 28, 2009. UPS tracking shows delivery of copies of this
Request to the Environmental Division of the Attorney General's Office in Raleigh, to the
Director of the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, and to the Petitioner in
Pennsylvania on October 28, 2009. This Hearing Request was stamped as filed on October 30,
2009 by DCM staff. I -
30. In a Memorandum dated November 6, 2009, Assistant Attorney General Christine
A. Goebel ("Goebel") explained the Staff Recommendation regarding Petitioner's Third Parry
6
Hearing Request. This Memorandum is attached as Exhibit "A." In this Memorandum, Goebel
stated: "On October 30, 2009, DCM received this third parry hearing request from Petitioner,
seeking to challenge the issuance by DCM of CAMA Minor Permit No. 2009.12." Goebel stated in
DCM's Recommendations that the Request was not timely filed, pursuant to N.C. GEN. STAT.
§ 113A-121.1(b). CAMA Permit No. 2009-12 was automatically suspended upon receipt of the
hearing request by DCM on October 30, 2009, and no development under this permit would be
allowed to take place until further notice by the CRC.
31. Goebel, in her November 6, 2009 Memorandum, stated: "The 20-day appeal period
to file a hearing request petition expired on October 29, 2009. Petitioner's counsel was made aware
of this fact on October 28, 2009, through a faxed letter from the Village, but still failed to submit its
appeal to DCM in time. Therefore, the CRC and the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) lack
jurisdiction to consider the merits of this untimely Petition." In her conclusion, Goebel
recommended that Petitioner's Hearing Request be denied by the Chairman.
32. On November 13, 2009, the Final Decision of the CRC ("Final Decision") was
signed by Emory, in his capacity as Chairman of the CRC, denying Petitioner's Hearing Request
because "[t]he deadline for any petitions challenging the decision expired on October 29, 2009,
before Petitioner's request for third party hearing was received on October 30, 2009. For this
reason along the third party hearing request is DENIED." The Final Decision is attached as
Exhibit 'B." In the cover letter for the Final Decision, it is stated: "Pursuant to N.C. GEN.
STAT. § 113A-121.1(c), the permit is no longer suspended and the permittee is allowed to
proceed insofar as it concerns CAMA."
10
33. Petitioner is entitled to appeal the decision of the Commission denying his
Hearing Request on the Final Decision, and this Court has jurisdiction of this matter, pursuant to
N.C. GEN. STAT. § 113A-121.1.
CRC RULES AND GENERAL STATUES AT ISSUE
34. According to 15A N.C.A.C. 710201 (2009), entitled "Permit Required," "[a]fter
March 1, 1978, every person wishing to undertake any development in an area of environmental
concern shall obtain a permit ... from the local permit officer, in the case of a minor development
permit, unless such development is exempted by the Commission."
35. In 15A N.C.A.C. 710202, it is stated in provision (b) that "[a]ny person seeking to
obtain a permit for a minor development project is required to file with the local permit officer a
completed application form as adopted and approved by the Coastal Resources Commission and in
accordance with the minor permit provisions in 15A NCAC 7J .0204. Provision (c) of that same
rule states: "Regardless of whether any advice or information was provided by other persons,
including department officials, the applicant is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the
information provided in the application."
36. According to 15A N.C.A.C. 710208 (2009)(b), the LPO "may condition a minor
development permit upon amendment of the proposed project to take whatever measures may be
reasonably necessary to protect the public interest with respect to the factors enumerated in G.S.
113A-120."
37. N.C. Gen. STAT. § 55-15-01 (2009) states that authority from the Secretary of State
for foreign corporations to transact business in this State is required. Subsection (a) states: "A
foreign corporation may not transact business in this State until it obtains a certificate of authority
from the Secretary of State."
11
Commission's Final Decision Was Based upon Numerous Errors of Fact and Law
38. Petitioner incorporates and realleges the foregoing Paragraphs 1-39.
39. The Commission's November 13, 2009, decision denying Petitioner's Request for a
Third -Parry Hearing was in violation of constitutional provisions, was in excess of the statutory
authority or jurisdiction of the CRC, was based on unlawfiil procedure, is in error as a matter of law,
in unsupported by substantial evidence, and is arbitrary and capricious. Among other things,
Respondents Emory, CRC, and Department:
a. Erred by allowing the submission of a CAMA Permit Application from a
foreign corporation that did not have the requisite authority to transact business in this State.
Longwood has not domesticated itself in North Carolina. There are no records for
Longwood on the North Carolina Secretary of State's corporation's website. As stated in
N.C. GEN. STAT. § 55-15-01 (2009) (a), "A foreign corporation may not transact business in
this State until it obtains a certificate of authority from the Secretary of State." Longwood
has not met any of the exclusions to N.C. GEN. STAT. § 55-15-01, which are listed as
follows:
(b) Without excluding other activities which may not constitute
transacting business in this State, a foreign corporation shall not be
considered to be transacting business in this State solely for the purposes of
this Chapter, by reason of carrying on in this State any one or more of the
following activities:
(1) Maintaining or defending any action or suit or any administrative
or arbitration proceeding, or effecting the settlement thereof or the
settlement of claims or disputes;
(2) Holding meetings of its directors or shareholders or carrying on
other activities concerning its internal affairs;
(3) Maintaining bank accounts or borrowing money in this State, with
or without security, even if such borrowings are repeated and
continuous transactions;
12
(4) Maintaining offices or agencies for the transfer, exchange, and
registration of its securities, or appointing and maintaining trustees
or depositories with relation to its securities;
(5) Soliciting or procuring orders, whether by mail or through
employees or agents or otherwise, where such orders require
acceptance without this State before becoming binding contracts;
(6) Making or investing in loans with or without security including
servicing of mortgages or deeds of trust through independent
agencies within the State, the conducting of foreclosure
proceedings and sale, the acquiring of property at foreclosure sale
and the management and rental of such property for a reasonable
time while liquidating its investment, provided no office or agency
therefor is maintained in this State;
(7) Taking security for or collecting debts due to it or enforcing any
rights in property securing the same;
(8) Transacting business in interstate commerce;
(9) Conducting an isolated transaction completed within a period of
six months and not in the course of a number of repeated
transactions of like nature;
(10) Selling through independent contractors;
(11) Owning, without more, real or personal property.
By initiating and following through with the construction of.a residence in this Ocean
Hazard Area, Longwood excludes itself from two of the above -listed exclusions that are
applicable to this situation:
(9) Conducting an isolated transaction completed within a period of six
months and not in the course of a number of repeated transactions of
like nature;
(11) Owning, without more, real or personal property.
Construction of the proposed residence involves the rendering of drawings of the proposed
residence and its ancillary buildings, the submission of these plans to various local and state
agencies, the application of various permits, and the approval of those permits after
considerable review. This process, by itself, is more than just owning real property, and this
process takes longer than six months to complete; therefore, Longwood cannot avail itself of
the above -listed exceptions to N.C. GEN. STAT. § 55-15.01(a). Because Longwood is
13
required to have a certificate of authority from the North Carolina Secretary of State, and it
does not have this certificate, Longwood is not permitted to complete this type of transaction
in this State. Longwood was not a permitted entity to fill out or sign a CAMA Permit
Application and was the only entity or person to be allowed as a permittee of the subject
CAMA Permit.
b. Erred by failing to require DCM's appropriate agency authorization form
from Longwood, which authorizes an agent to act on behalf of a corporation. Kuey is not
listed as the registered agent of the owner, Longwood, on the State of New York's Secretary
of State's Corporations website, and Kuey is not the owner of the fee simple to Lot 4030.
There is no evidence, other than the bare -bones Application, that Kuey is the authorized
agent of Longwood. Without including the form that authorizes Kuey to act on behalf of
Longwood in the Application, the Application is incomplete and erroneous. Issuance of a
CAMA Minor Permit on the basis of an incomplete and erroneous application is an
unlawful procedure. The burden is on the applicant to submit a complete application. This
Application was deficient, and it should not have been processed.
C. Erred by accepting a CAMA Permit Application from one who is neither the
landowner nor the authorized agent of the landowner. Longwood, or its authorized agent,
did not sign the CAMA Permit Application. The applicant, Kuey, in the CAMA
Application at hand is not the landowner, nor has Kuey met the requirements as an
authorized agent. "In the general information section, the applicant and future permittee
is always the Land Owner, although an agent, such as a contractor or realtor, may obtain
the permit for the property owner." North Carolina Division of Coastal Management,
Directions For Filling Out A CAMA Minor Permit, http://dcm2.enr.state.nc.us/permits/
14
Minor%20Peimit%2OApplication%2Odirections.pdf (last visited Dec. 14, 2009). To
issue a CAMA Minor Permit to one who is not the landowner and who is not an
authorized agent for the landowner is in excess of the statutory authority of the CRC.
d. Erred by awarding a CAMA Minor Permit to Kuey and by denying
Petitioner's Third Party Hearing Request because the CAMA Minor Permit was
improperly issued, incomplete, and deficient as a matter of law.
e. Erred by awarding a CAMA Minor Permit to Kuey and by denying
Petitioner's Hearing Request because the Permit was altered or amended after its initial
October 9, 2009, issuance. An amended or altered permit changes the timeline for when
objections to the issuance of the permit are due. On or about October 26, 2009, the
Application was revised to show the correct applicable square footage to consider when
calculating the setback for the proposed residence. This should have reset the
Application timeline. Petitioner mailed his Hearing Request, via UPS/Overnight
delivery, on October 28, 2009. UPS tracking shows delivery of copies of this Request to
the Environmental Division of the Attorney General's Office in Raleigh, to the Director
of the DCM in Morehead City, and to the Petitioner in Pennsylvania on October 28,
2009. Even though tracking confirmed the receipt of this Hearing Request to the
applicable agencies on October 28, 2009, the Hearing Request was not file -stamped until
October 30, 2009. This should not cut off Petitioner's right to a Hearing Request because
the revisions to the Application were made on or about October 26, 2009. Petitioner
should have had.an additional, proportional amount of time to submit his Hearing
Request. In any event, the filing of the Hearing Request was timely if received on
15
October 28, 2009, as the. filing stamp has nothing to do with jurisdiction of this Court or
the Office of Administrative Hearings.
f. Erred by stating that Petitioner's Hearing Request is frivolous and that
Petitioner lacks sufficient standing to contest the issuance of the Permit. Contrary to the
findings and conclusions of Emory as the Chairman of the CRC, Petitioner is directly
affected by the issuance of the Permit to Kuey within the meaning of N.C. GEN. STAT.
§ 113A-121(b)(1-3) in that Petitioner is an adjoining property owner. Petitioner's status
as an adjoining property owner is significant, contrary to the arguments of the DCM and
its counsel and findings in Chairman's Final Decision.
i. Recently, the Supreme Court clarified the special status that an
adjoining property owner has to oppose or contest zoning and other regulatory
decisions, such as the Permit issued to Kuey. See, Mangum v. Raleigh Bd. of
Adjustment, 362 N.C. 640, 644, 669 S.E.2d 279, 283 (2008). In Mangum, the
Supreme Court noted in that case that, " [i]t is undisputed that defendants'
proposed use of the land is unlawful unless they are issued a Special Use Permit"
Mangum, 362 N.C. at 643, 669 S.E.2d at 282 362 N.C. at 643, 669 S.E.2d at 282.
The Court held that the petitioners' allegations in their petition for writ of
certiorari as well as the evidence presented "in regards to the `increased traffic,
increased water runoff, parking, and safety concerns,' as well as the secondary
adverse effects on petitioners' businesses, were sufficient special damages to give
standing to petitioners to challenge the issuance of the permit" Mangum, 362
N.C. at 644, 669 S.E.2d at 282-83 362 N.C. at 644, 669 S.E.2d at 282-83. The
Mangum Court explained that the "petitioners alleged that they either owned
16
property immediately adjacent to or in close proximity to the subject property"
and that, while such allegations standing alone are insufficient, proximity to the
property that is the subject of a variance "bears some weight" on determining
whether the petitioner has suffered or will suffer special damages necessary for
standing. Mangum, 362 N.C. at 644, 669 S.E.2d at 283 362 N.C. at 644, 669
S.E.2d at 283.
I Furthermore, a determination of standing is jurisdictional and is
always de novo upon judicial review. Id The legal right to appear in any action,
commonly referred to as having "standing," is jurisdictional and depends in part
upon the existence of a justiciable case or controversy. Town of Ayden v. Town of
Winterville, 143 N.C. App. 136, 141, 544 S.E.2d 821, 824 (2001); Town of Pine
Knoll Shores v. Carolina Water Serv., 128 N.C. App. 321, 321, 494 S.E.2d 618,
618 (1998). The standing of a party to pursue any case or cause of action is a
necessary prerequisite to the Court's proper exercise of subject matter jurisdiction.
See Peacock v. Shinn, 139 N.C. App. 487, 491, 533 S.E.2d 842, 845, disc. review
denied, 353 N.C. 267, 546 S.E.2d 110 (2000); Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corp. v. Calco Enter., 132 N.C. App. 237, 241, 511 S.E.2d 671, 675, disc. review
denied, 351 N.C. 121, 540 S.E.2d 751 (1999). Accordingly, standing is a necessary
threshold inquiry for the Court. "Standing" refers to the critical issue of whether a
party or proposed intervenor has a sufficient stake in an otherwise justiciable
controversy that it may properly seek adjudication of the matter. Sierra Club v.
Morton, 405 U.S. 727, 730, 92 S. Ct. 1361, 1364, 31 L.Ed.2d 636, 641 (1972). The
relationship between standing and the requirement of a justiciable controversy has
17
been expressed as follows: "[Jjudicial intervention in a dispute is normally
contingent upon the presence of a `justiciable' controversy." See Texfz Indus. v.
City of Fayetteville, 44 N.C. App. 268, 269-70, 261 S.E.2d 21, 23 (1979) ("The gist
of standing is whether there is a justiciable controversy being litigated among
adverse parties with substantial interest affected so as to bring forth a clear
articulation of the issues before the court."), affd, 301 N.C. 1, 269 S.E.2d 142
(1980). In most cases, the issue of standing depends on whether the party has
suffered an "injury in fact." Neuse River Found v. Smithfield Foods, Inc., 155 N.C.
App. 100, 114, 574 S.E.2d 48, 52 (2002), disc. rev. denied, 356 N.C. 675; 577
S.E.2d 628 (2003); see also Strates Shows, Inc. v Amusements ofAmerica, Inc., 184
N.C. App. 455, 460, 646 S.E.2d 418, 423 (2007); Coker v. DaimlerChzysler Corp.,
172 N.C. App. 386, 391, 617 S.E.2d 306, 310 (2005), 'aff'd per curiam, 360 N.C.
398, 627 S.E.2d 461 (2006); Dunn v. Pate, 334 N.C. 115, 119-20,.431 S.E.2d 178,
180-81 (1993). .
iii. The allegations of Petitioner in his Hearing Request on the CAMA
Permit Decision was sufficient as a matter of law to met this threshold inquiry and
the technical requirements of N.C. GEN. STAT. § 113A-121(b)(1-3). The
placement of any structure as "development" under CAMA is absolutely
controlled and governed by the intricate structure of the Rules adopted by the
CRC and as enumerated in CAMA. An example of this is the hardened structure
, rules applicable to the areas of environmental concern applicable to oceans. See,
e.g., Shell Island Homeowners Assn v. Tomlinson, 134 N.C. App. 217, 224, 517
S.E.2d 406, 412 (1999) (hardened structure rules) and Robert Don Foster,
18
Petitioner vs. N. C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division
of Coastal Management, Respondent and William F. Candy, Respondent
Intervenor, 06 EHR 1833 (applying the Coastal Shoreline Buffer Rule which
requires development to be located 30 feet from the normal high water level and
the exception known as the small house exception set forth in 15A NCAC
7H.0209(d)(10)(I))•
iv. Based upon Petitioner's Hearing Request on the CAMA Permit
Decision, there was sufficient information alleged to demonstrate that Petitioner
was entitled to proceed to a contested case hearing on the merits of his objections
to an Administrative Law Judge. The third parties in Robert Don Foster,
Petitioner vs. N. C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division
of Coastal Management, Respondent and William F. Candy, Respondent
Intervenor, 06 EHR 1833 bore the same relationship to the permitted property as
Petitioner Busik does in the instant case. Thus, to be consistent with other CAMA
cases and contested case hearings, Petitioner Busik should have been allowed to
have a Third Party Contested Case Hearing before the Office of Administrative
Hearings.
40. For the foregoing reasons, the CRC erred in denying Petitioner's Hearing Request
on the Permit, and the CRC's decision is contrary to N.C. GEN. SrAT. § 113A-121.1 and other
applicable Iaw, in the following respects:
a.. The proposed location of the residence presents an unacceptable safety risk-.,:
to the property and persons, including Petitioner, proximate thereto. Because of the
residence's improper location further seaward of Petitioner's residence, during a large
19
storm, as frequently experienced on Bald Head Island, great debris from the residence will
impact Petitioner's property and the property of others.
b. The proposed location of the residence would unlawfully diminish
Petitioner's use and enjoyment of his property and property value. Petitioner's home on his
property is located and designed to take advantage of the expansive view the property
affords of the Atlantic Ocean. Such view and Petitioner's property value would be
decimated by the proposed location of the Longwood residence.
c. The grant of the Permit and the denial of Petitioner's Hearing Request has
deprived Petitioner of his property rights, jeopardized the safety of his property and persons
thereon, and has otherwise substantially prejudiced Petitioner's rights as follows:
i. Respondents Emory, Department, and CRC acted wrongfully by
basing their decisions on findings of fact that were erroneous or that were
unsupported by any competent underlying evidence or factual information.
ii. Upon information and belief, Respondents Emory, Department, and
CRC failed to use proper procedures and acted wrongfully in evaluating Pennittee's
permit application and Petitioner's Hearing Request in violation of applicable law.
iii. Respondents Emory, Department, and CRC acted arbitrarily and
capriciously in basing their decisions on erroneous information or factually
unsupported presumptions.
iv. Respondents Emory, Department, and CRC failed to act as required
by N.C. GEN. STAT. §§ 113A-120(a) and -121.1 in that the purported findings, upon
which the Department based the grant of the Permit, are unsupported by any facts
and are based on erroneous presumptions.
20
V. The grant of the permit is unconstitutional and the rules upon which
the Permit grant was based are unconstitutional and/or are unconstitutional as
applied In particular, the Permit's grant and the rules upon which the grant were
based are:
1. in excess of the police power;
2. deny Petitioner substantive and procedural due process; and,
3. deny Petitioner equal protection of law and discriminate
against Petitioner without a lawful basis.
vi. The denial of Petitioner's Hearing Request by the CRC is
unconstitutional. In particular, the denial of the hearing request is:
1. in excess of the police power;
2. denies Petitioner's substantive and procedural due process;
3. denies Petitioner equal protection of law and discriminates
against Petitioner without a lawful basis; and,
4. is otherwise unlawful.
vii. Petitioner is directly affected by the Department's decision to grant
the permit and the CRC's denial of Petitioner's Hearing Request.
1. The decisions of Respondents Emory, Department, and CRC,
complained of herein, are:
a. In violation of constitutional provisions of N.C.
Const. Art. I, § 18 which.. provides that "All courts shall be open;
[and] every person for an injury done him in his lands, goods, person,
or reputation shall have remedy by due course of law ...: ;
21
b. In excess of the statutory authority or jurisdiction of
the agencies;
C. Made upon unlawful procedures;
d. Affected by other error of law;
e. Unsupported by substantial evidence; and/or
f. Arbitrary or capricious.
viii. Petitioner's Hearing Request on the Permit is not frivolous for the
reasons and legal arguments herein stated.
CONCLUSIONS
Based upon the foregoing citations of authority and arguments, Petitioner requests this Court
to review the administrative record in this case and the Final Decision of Chairman Emory, and
reverse the Final Decision, finding and concluding that Petitioner is entitled to a Third Parry
Contested Case Hearing before the Office of Administrative Hearings to oppose and reverse the
subject CAMA Permit No. 2009-12 wrongfully and illegally issued to Respondent Pennittee Kuey.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully prays the Court:
1. Grant this Petition for Judicial Review;
2. Enter an Order pursuant to N.C. GEN. STAT. § ISOB-48 staying the operation of the
CRC's Final Decision and the issuance of CAMA Permit No. 2009-12 pending the outcome of the
review;
3. Declare and find that the CRC erred in denying Petitioner's request for a contested
case hearing;
22
4. Remand this matter to the CRC for a contested case hearing under N.C. GEN. STAT.
§ 150B-22 before the Office of Administrative Hearings, and final CRC decision on the permit,
pursuant to N.C. GEN. STAT. § 113A-122;
5. Award Petitioner his reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, pursuant to N.C. GEN.
STAT. § 6-19.1;
6. Award Petitioner his costs; and
7. For such other and further relief as to the Court seems proper.
Respectfully submitted,
This the 10 day of December, 2009.

Re: Reinstatement of CAMA Minor Permit #2009-12
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kuey:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
You were informed, by certified mail, that the Chairman of the Coastal Resources Commission,
Robert Emory, received a request for an administrative hearing to challenge CAMA Minor Permit
#2009-12. The request was filed on behalf of Petitioner Kevan Busik on October 30, 2009. Your
CAMA Permit was automatically suspended upon receipt of this hearing request and you were
instructed not to undertake any development under this permit until further notice.
Please be advised that Chairman Emory has DENIED this third party hearing request. At this
time, CAMA Minor Permit #2009-12 is reinstated and you may now undertake development on
this property pursuant to the permit.
Please contact me at 252-808-2808 if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Kuey:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Part of North Carolina's Coastal Management Program includes the delegation of permit authority for minor development
permits from the State to local governments that adopt a local Implementation and Enforcement Ordinance to administer a
Minor Permit Program. This cooperative effort reduces permit review times and provides a convenient service to the
citizens of those participating local governments. The NC Division of Coastal Management trains local government
employees to administer the program and consults on and reviews permits issued by those local programs to ensure
consistency with NC Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) and the Coastal Resources Commission's (CRC)
administrative rules and regulations.
This letter is in reference to CAMA Minor Permit BM 2009-12, which was recently issued to you by the Village of Bald
Head Island on October 9, 2009. Your property at 230 Station House Way (Lot 4030, Cape Fear Station, Tract 14) is
subject to a built -upon -area (BUA) limitation of 5500 square feet in the subdivision's State Stormwater Permit (No. SW8
980920 MOD), which was issued to the island developer Bald Head Island Limited, LLC. Your agent, Wayne Lambert,
submitted a project drawing with your minor permit application (drawn by H. R. Associates) that indicated a built -upon -
area of 5318 square feet, however during our review of the issued permit we have calculated a built -upon -area of
approximately 6000 square feet. This figure is based upon the sum of the square footage of the roofline footprint of the
main house, the crofter and the section of concrete driveway. To resolve this inconsistency it is recommended that you
modify your permitted development to comply with the State Stormwater Permit or obtain additional built -upon -area
allocation for Lot 4030, Cape Fear Station, Tract 14 from Bald Head Island Limited, LLC. Failure to do so would result in
noncompliance with Condition #2 of your CAMA Minor Permit and could result in an enforcement action. Condition #2
of your CAMA Minor Permit states:
"All construction must conform to the N.C. Building Code requirements and all other local, State and
Federal regulations, applicable local ordinances and FEMA Flood Regulations."
By copy of this letter we are notifying the NC Division of Water Quality — Stormwater Section and the Stormwater Permit
holder, Bald Head Island Limited., LLC, of the potential noncompliance with State Stormwater Permit No.SW8 980920
MOD. Any resulting modifications to your permitted design or reallocation of additional BUA allowance should be
submitted to Chris McCall, Local Permit Officer for the Village of Bald Head Island at P. O. Box 3009, Bald Head Island,
NC 28461, or at (910) 457-9700. If you have any questions, or need additional information concerning this matter, please
feel free to contact me at (910) 796-7425.
Sincerely, �

This notice is intended to make you, the applicant, aware of the
,special risks and conditions associated with development in this
area, which is subject to natural hazards such as stones; erosion
.and currents. The rules of the Coastal Resources Commission
:require thatyou receive anAEC Hazard Notice and acknowledge
-that -notice in writing before'a permit for development can be
issued.
The rCommission's rules on building standards, oceanfront.
setbacks and dune alterations are designed to minimize, butnof
eliminate, property loss from hazards. By granting permits, the
Coastal Resources Commission does not guarantee the safety of
the development and assumes no liability for future damage to
the development Permits issued in the Ocean klazard Area of
Environmental Concern include the condition that structures be
relocated or dismantled if they become imminently threatened by
changes in shoreline configuration. The structure(s) must be
relocated or dismantled within two (2) years'of becoming
imminently threatened, and in any case upon its collapse or
'subsidence.
The best available information, as accepted by the Coastal
Resources Commission, indicates that the annual Tong -term
average ocean erosion rate for the area where your prpperry is
located is_ A _ feet per year.
The rate was established by careful analysis of aerial photographs
of the coastline taken over the past50 years.
Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move as much as
a3� feet landward in a major storm.
The flood waters in a major storm are predicted to be about
_feet deep in this area.
Preferred oceanfront protection measures are beach nourishment
and relocation of threatened structures. }lard erosion control
stntctures such as bulkheads, seawalls, reveumcnts, groins, jetties
and breakwaters are prohibited. Temporary sand bags may be
authorized under certain conditions.
The applicant must acknowledge this infomtationand requirements
by signing this notice in the space below. Without the proper
signature, the application will not be complete.
SPECIAL NOTE: This hazard notice is required fordevelopment
in areas subject to sudden and massive stones and erosion. Permits
issued for development in this area expire on December 3l ofthe
third year following the year in which the permit was issued.
Shortly before work begins on the project site, the Local Permit
Officer must be contacted to-detenninedhevegetation line and
setback distance at your site. If the propertyhas seen little change
since the time ofpernlitissuance, and theproposed development
can still meet the setback requirement:the LPO will inform you
ihaf you may begin work. Substantial progress on the project
must be made within 60 days of this setback determination, or
the setback must be remeasured. Also, the occurrence of a major`
shoreline change as the result ofa storm within the 60-day period
will necessitate remeasurement of the setback.lt is important
that you check with the LPO before the permit expires for official
approval to continue the work after the permit has expired.
Generally, if foundation pilings have been placed and substantial,
progress is continuing, permit renewal can be d"uth6fi ed. It is"
unlawful to continue work after permit expiration.
