PROJECT ADDRESS – 4110 Island Drive, North Topsail Beach NC
AREA OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN – Ocean Hazard AEC

Dear Mr. Sharp,

I have reviewed 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 June 3, 2024, I have
determined that the activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor development permit as long as it
remains consistent with the work description submitted on June 19, 3024, 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 15 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. The project consists of the repair of the St. Moritz condominium building as described in the
contractor affidavit.
2. The proposed repairs shall be consistent with all other applicable local ordinances and North
Carolina Building Code standards.

3. No expansions or enlargements of any kind are authorized by this permit. All work must occur
in the original footprint.
4. No other work is authorized by this exemption letter.
5. The Permittee and/or the Permittee’s Authorized Agent shall be responsible for obtaining all
necessary authorizations, approvals, or zoning and building permits from the local government
having jurisdiction (Town of North Topsail Beach and/or Onslow County) prior to commencing
work.

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,

Jonathan Lucas
