AREA OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN - Ocean
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Ruffin:
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. After making a site inspection on February 9, 2023, 1 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 and materials list
submitted on February 8, 2023, 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.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR — [G.S. 113-103(5)(B)(5) and 15A NCAC 7K.0103(a)] -
Maintenance and repairs (excluding replacement) necessary to repair damage to
structures caused by the elements are specifically excluded from the definition of
development under the conditions and in the circumstances set out in G.S.
113A-103(5)(b)(5). Individuals required to take such measures within an AEC shall
contact the local CAMA representative for consultation and advice before beginning
work.
Structures may be repaired in a similar manner, size and location as the original
structure. No expansions or additions are permissible. The repairs are limited to 50%
of the market value of the existing structure and the following specific conditions.
1. Replace deck boards on existing beachwalk.
2. The proposed repairs shall be consistent with all other applicable local
ordinances and North Carolina Building Code standards.

This exemption to CAMA permit requirements does not alleviate the necessity of your
obtaining any other State, Federal or Local authorization and N.C. Building Permits. This
exemption expires 90 days from the date of the letter.
Sincerely,
Christine R. Bouffard, LPO

Christine,
We are looking to replace rotten and weather beaten wood on the existing beachwalk located at 324 Beach Rd. North
for the Owners, John and Fowler Ruffin. I have attached the Scope of Work along with several photos.
I am seeking a waiver for a new permit to accompany my submittal to the Figure 8 HOA for notification and approval of
this work.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

DURABUILD SERVICES, LLC
Ruffin Beachwalk Repairs, Feb 2023 Scope of Work
This Scope of Work is for the removal and replacement of rotten, splintered and weather
beaten wood decking, trim boards and joists -on an existing Beachwalk. We do not anticipate
any post replacement, but may find damage that necessitates post replacement during the
course of work. Replacement material will be Pressure Treated Lumber with Stainless Steel
fasteners.
There will be no change to size, height or location of the existing beachwalk. All materials
will be removed from the visible area of the beachwalk daily, so as not to effect the neighbors
view. Materials and debris will be stored in the homeowners carport. All work that can be
accomplished from the surface of the existing beachwalk will be done so, to minimize damage
to existing vegetation.
We expect this work to take about 8 working days.
