RE: EXEMPTED PROJECT (MINOR) EXEMPTION
Structural Accessway (15A NCAC 7K .0207) Exemption# SCEX22-09
1020 S Shore Drive, Surf City, NC
AREA OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN — Ocean Hazard AEC
Dear Mr and Mrs. Filer:
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 November 29, 2022, 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 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 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 seaward toe of the Frontal Dune, 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 120 days from the date of the letter.
S' erely, son it
