RE: EXEMPTED PROJECT (MINOR) EXEMPTION
STRUCTURAL ACCESSWAY (15A NCAC 7K .0207) — Exemption# NTBEXI6-12
Beach access area opposite Oyster Lane, North Topsail Beach, NC
AREA OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN — Ocean Hazard AEC
Dear Mr. Turille:
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 as
long as it remains consistent with your site drawing dated received by DCM on 5/13/16, 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 only provide pedestrian access to the
ocean beach.
(2) The accessway must be constructed so as to make negligible alterations to the frontal dunes and
or sand bag revetment. 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/sand bags without any alteration to the dunes/sand bags. In no case shall the frontal
dune/sand bags be altered so as to significantly diminish their 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/sand bag revetment.
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.
ely,

Jimmy:
Per Mayor Burns suggestion, Thomas and I rode up and checked out moving the access from Port Dr. to Oyster Ln.
in order to overcome DCM objections to Port Dr. location impacting the geo textile tube.
We agree that Oyster Lane will work and is as safe or safer than Port Dr.
I discussed this with Jason and he said:
"Please send the Port Dr. sketch back to me with a note that we are requesting a change in location to Oyster Ln. with
the only change being that the platform length may shorten and that the geo textile tube will not be affected."
Pat Antinori was with us and said he can get started as soon as Jason says ok.
Thanks,
Stuart
