PO Box 22 Kure Beach, NC Vice President Subject: REQUEST FOR RECORDED DEED RESTRICTIONS Kure Estates, Phase III Stormwater Project No. SW8 990413 New Hanover County Dear Mr. Hearne: On August 19, 1999, the Wilmington Regional Office issued a Stormwater Management Permit to you for Kure Estates Phase III. You had previously indicated that you had submitted a name/ownership change request form in February, in order to transfer the permit to the Homeowner's Association, however, the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality has no record of receiving this document. Please complete a new form and send it directly to me at the address indicated at the bottom of this letter. Per the requirements of. your permit, a copy of the recorded deed restrictions must be forwarded within 30 days of the date of recording. A review of our files indicates that, as of this date, a copy of the recorded deed restrictions for Lots 59-84, 87 & 88 has not been received in this Office. A search of the New Hanover County Public Records website also failed to return a copy of these restrictions. Additionally, a copy of the proposed plans for the pool area that has been constructed on Lots 87 and 88 has not been submitted to the Division for approval. Per Section 11.3 of your permit, a modification to the permit is required for any revisions to the approved plans. Failure to record and/or provide a copy of the recorded deed restrictions prior to selling lots and failure to submit revised plans for the pool area are violations of your permit, and subject to enforcement action. Prior to transferring ownership, please forward a copy of the recorded deed restrictions for the lots specified, and 2 copies of the plans for the pool area to this Office at the address below by April 29, 2005. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 395-3900.
