PROJECT ADDRESS – 814 Villa Drive, North Topsail Beach, Onslow County
AREA OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN – Ocean Hazard Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC)

Dear Ms. Keselosky:

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
with your contractor Mr. Jason Anderson with Coastal Land Worx & Maintenance on January 5, 2022, the NC
Division of Coastal Management has determined that the activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor
development permit if it 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 – [G.S. 113-103(5)(B)(5) and 15A NCAC 7K.0103(a)] - Maintenance and repairs
(excluding replacement) necessary to repair damage to structures caused by the elements are specifically excluded
from the definition of development under the conditions and in the circumstances set out in G.S. 113A-103(5)(b)(5).
Individuals required to take such measures within an AEC shall contact the local CAMA representative for
consultation and advice before beginning work.

Structures may be repaired in a similar manner, size and location as the original structure. No expansions or
additions are permissible. The repairs are limited to 50% of the market value of the existing structure and the
following specific conditions.

1. The project consists of the repair of community pool area decking and handrailing, and installation of sand
and silt fencing to contain and stabilize existing fill under decking and pool area as shown on the attached
drawing and materials list dated received on January 10, 2022.
2. The proposed repairs shall be consistent with all other applicable local ordinances and North Carolina
Building Code standards.
3. No expansions or enlargements of any kind are authorized by this permit. All work must occur in the original
footprint.
4. No other work is authorized by this exemption letter.
5. The Permittee shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary authorizations, approvals, or zoning and
building permits from the local government having jurisdiction (Town of North Topsail Beach and/or Onslow
County) prior to commencing work.

This exemption to CAMA permit requirements does not alleviate the necessity of your obtaining any other State,
Federal or Local authorization and N.C. Building Permits. This exemption expires 90 days from the date of the
letter.

Sincerely,

Robb Mairs
Minor Permits Coordinator
