Dear Ms. O'Brien:
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 May 11,2005, I 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 May 6, 2005, 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 - (G.S. 113-103(5)(B)(5) and 7K.0209) - 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 physical value of the existing structure and the
following specific conditions.
1. The project consists of the repair of Beach Access 921, 16 LF of walkway and associated stairs
on the beach side of the walkway, as shown on the attached drawing and materials list.
2. The proposed repairs shall be consistent with all other applicable local ordinances and North
Carolina Building Code standards.
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.

Dear Ms. O'Brien:
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 May 11,2005, I have determined that the activity you propose is exempt from needing a

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 shall be consistent with all other applicable local ordinances
and N. C. Building Code standards.
This exemption to CAMA permit requirements does not alleviate the necessity of your obtaining any other
State, Federal or Local authorization. This exemption expires 90 days from the date of the letter.
