DIVISION OF
COASTAL MANAGEMENT
The Local Permit Officer received information submitted pertaining to the necessity of filing for
an application for a minor development permit under the Coastal Area Management Act. The
activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor development permit as long as it meets the
conditions specified below. If your plans should change and your project will no longer meet
those conditions, please contact me before proceeding.
DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY AND CONDITIONS: Charlotte Street Public Access
(1) The accessway must not exceed six feet in width and must be for private residential or for
public access to an ocean beach. This exemption does not apply to accessways for
commercial use or for motor -powered vehicular use.
(2) The accessway must be constructed so as to make no alterations to the frontal dunes that
are not necessary. This means that wherever possible the accessway must be constructed
over the frontal dune without any alteration of the dunes. In no case shall the dune be
altered so as to significantly diminish its capacity as a protective barrier against flooding
and erosion. Driving of pilings into the dune shall not be considered alteration of a
frontal dune for the purpose of this rule.
(3) The accessway shall conform to any applicable local or State building code standards.
This letter of exemption is valid for a period of 90 days only. A new aplication will need to be
submitted if construction is not commenced within that time.
Sincerely,
