Emerald Isle, NC 28594 Dear MR. SMITH:
252-354-8548 voice I have reviewed the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning the necessary
252-354-5068 fax filing of an application for a minor development permit under the Coastal Area Management Act.
After making a site inspection on SEPTEMBER 25,2017, I have determined that the activity you
www.emeraldisle-nc.org propose is exempt from needing a minor development permit as long as it remains consistent with
your site drawing dated SEPTEMBER 22, 2017,and meet the conditions specified below. If you
plans should change and your project will no longer meet these conditions,please contact me
Town Planner before proceeding.
Josh Edmondson 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.
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.
Sincerely,
)OSH EDMONDSON, LPO
