PROJECT LOCATIONIADDRESS—16,18,20 East Columbia Street
Dear Mr. Tim Canady:
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 April 27, 2016,1 have determined that the activity you propose is
exempt from needing a minor development permit as long as the project remains in accordance with
your project scope submittal, which was received by this office on April 26, 2016 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.
15A NCAC 07K .0212 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF SAND FENCING
Sand fences that are installed and maintained subject to the following criteria are exempt from the
permit requirements of the Coastal Area Management Act:
(1) Sand fencing may only be installed for the purpose of: building sand dunes by trapping
wind blown sand; the protection of the dune(s) and vegetation (planted or existing).
(2) Sand fencing shall not impede existing public access to the beach, recreational use of
the beach or emergency vehicle access. Sand fencing shall not be installed in a manner that
impedes or restricts established common law and statutory rights of public access and use
of public trust lands and waters.
(3) Sand fencing shall not be installed in a manner that impedes, traps or otherwise
endangers sea turtles, sea turtle nests or sea turtle hatchlings.
(4) Non-functioning, damaged, or unsecured, sand fencing shall be immediately removed by
the property owner.
(5) Sand fencing shall be constructed from evenly spaced thin wooden vertical slats
connected with twisted wire, no more than 5 feet in height. Wooden posts or stakes no larger
than 2" X 4" or 3" diameter shall support sand fencing.
