RE: EXEMPTED PROJECT (MINOR) EXEMPTION
STRUCTURAL ACCESSWAY (15A NCAC 7K .0207) — Exemption# NTBEXI7-45
Beach access walkway — Village of Stump Sound, North Topsail Beach, NC
AREA OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN — Ocean Hazard AEC
Dear Mr. Bowman:
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. Based on the information
provided, I have determined that the activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor development permit if
it remains consistent with your site drawing dated received by DCM on 11/7/17, 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.
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 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 to significantly diminish its
capacity as a protective barrier against flooding and erosion.
(3) Construction of the accessway be shall consistent with all other applicable local ordinances and
N. C. Building Code standards.
(4) No portion of the proposed walkway may extend beyond the mean high water boundary; nor shall
it extend onto the wet sand beach. The walkway shall terminate as close as possible to the toe of
the existing frontal dune.
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.
S' rely,
"Dail,

minute I'll write it up for you. Will be in the field for the next two days and we're off Fri.
