RE: EXEMPTED PROJECT - MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR of STRUCTURES
CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT RULES [15A NCAC 07K .0209(c)]
PROJECT ADDRESS — 139 Ocean Isle West Blvd.
AREA OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN — Ocean Hazard
Dear Property Owner:
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 15, 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 15, 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 — [15A NCAC 7K .0209(c)] - Any structure, or part thereof,
consistent with current CRC rules may be maintained, repaired or replaced in a similar manner,
size and location as the existing structure without requiring a permit, unless the repair or
replacement would be in violation of the criteria set out below. This exemption applies to those
projects that are not within the exclusion for maintenance and repairs as set out in G.S. 113A-
103(5)b.5., Rule .0103 of this Subchapter and Rule 07J .0210.
1. the development must not disturb a land area of greater than 200 square feet on a
slope of greater than 10 percent;
2. the development must not involve removal, damage, or destruction of threatened or
endangered animal or plant species;
3. the development must not alter naturally or artificially created surface drainage
channels;
4. the development must not alter the land form or vegetation of a frontal dune;
5. the development must not be within 30 feet of normal water level or normal high
water level; and;

6. development must be consistent with all applicable use standards and local land use
plans in effect at the time the exemption is granted.
Structures may be repaired in a similar manner, size, and location as the original structure. No
expansions or additions are permissible, and the following specific conditions apply:
1. The project consists of repairing beach access to existing gazebo, as shown on the
attached drawing and materials list dated February 15, 2023.
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,
Keith Dycus, LPO
