Dear Mr. Bucher:
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 2/15/19, 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.

Courtney,
Attached are sketches of my proposed beach steps for 424 NRI.
I followed the examples you sent yesterday.
Please issue my exemption for the new steps.
Thanks,
