Dear Ms. Chipley,

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 reviewing the submitted drawings, GIS aerial photography, and the CAMA handbook,
I have determined that the activity you propose (remove/replace 13 decayed 8x8 house pilings
in same footprint and remove/replace 2 - 6x6x16 stair/landing pilings in same footprint) is
exempt from needing a minor development permit as long as it remains consistent with your site
drawing submitted on October 10, 2024 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 landform or vegetation of a frontal dune;

5. the development must not be within 30 feet of normal water level or normal
DECEIVED
high-water level; and;
6. development must be consistent with all applicable use standards and local land OCT 14 2024
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. DCM-EC
No expansions or additions are permissible, and the following specific conditions apply:
1. The project consists of the replacement of 13-8"x8x16' house pilings and 2-
6"x6"x16' stair/landing pilings in the existing footprint, as shown on the attached
drawing.
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,
Debbie LaShomb, CAMA LPO
