NUIhous Docldng Facility Permit Refinement State Permit No. 25-23
Robert and Debra Milhous
145 Blue Church Ct.,
Columbia, SC 29212
Dear Mr. Milhous,
This is with reference to the request received from you on August 23, 2023 by DCM to refine State
Permit No. 25-23, which was originally issued to Robert and Debra Milhous on February 10, 2023. The
permit authorized the construction of a 4-slip docking facility located at 9193 Schulyer Dr. SW on the
AIW W in Calabash, Brunswick County, NC. State Permit No. 25-23 is due to expire on February 10,
2028.
The action proposed in your submittal is to reconfigure the 4-slip docking facility within the authorized
footprint. As proposed, the permitted 20' x 20' gazebo roof would be reduced to 15'3" x 15'3" leaving a
6' x 14' open platform that the waterward end of the pierhead. The permitted 15' x 15' boathouse roof
would expand landward to a 15' x 24' roofline to accommodate a longer vessel on the boatlift. The
permitted 8' x 16' floating dock on a lift system would be expanded landward to a 10' x 16' floating dock
on a lift system. Lastly, the 6' x 320' access pier would be extended landward an additional
approximatley 24' to better accommodate wheelchair access. As proposed, the reconfiguration of the
authorized 4-slip docking facility would reduce the total platform area from 753 sq. ft. to 752.5 sq. ft. The
proposed reconfiguration would not extend further waterward than previously permitted. The proposed
reconfiguration would remain outside of the eastern riparian setback and would not extend further into the
western riparian setback.
Upon reviewing the information provided, the Division of Coastal Management has determined that the
proposed action is consistent with existing State rules and regulations and is in keeping with the original
purpose and intent of the permit. I hereby submit this Letter of Refinement authorizing the modification
of State Permit #25-23, as described in your request dated received August 23, 2023. Please note this
refinement does not alleviate the need to obtain any other local, state or federal permits.
If you have any questions concerning the above or if l can be of any other assistance, please contact me at
910-796-72A6.
Sincerely,
Tara MacPherson

The applicants, Robert and Debra Milhous, are proposing `refinements' to Permit #25-23, issued
February 10, 2023. Part of the proposed refinements are to reduce the covered roof area of the
fixed platform and increase the covered roof area over the boat lift. The proposed refinements will
not exceed the permitted coverage of 753 square feet (sgft). Additionally, the applicants wish the
beginning of the pier (walkway) structure to start some 24' landward (toward the uplands of the
aforementioned property) in order to center the structure in the property and provide better
wheelchair access.
Communications with CAMA Field Representative, Brendon Brock (along with Cameron Luck,
Assistant Major Permits Coordinator), have occurred via telephone and emails regarding possible
changes to the major permit #25-23 and the process for seeking a `letter of refinement' (see copy
of major permit and emails dated July 5, 2023, attached).

• Boat Lift Structure —14' x 14' w/ roof 15' x 15' (dripline dimensions)
• Floating Dock on lift system — 8' x 16'
• Jet Ski Davit
• Fish Cleaning Station
Total Shaded Impact — 753 sgf1.
Total Shoreline of the property —156'
Proposed Refinements:
1) Reduce covered roof area of the permitted fixed platform section to 1513" x 15'3" dripline
dimensions (232.5 sgft).
2) Increase covered roof area of the permitted boat lift section to 15' x 24' dripline dimensions

Mr. Milhous,
I spoke with major permits staff as well as my district manager and they agree that the proposal you sent to increase the
boathouse roof while decreasing the gazebo roof would fall under a letter of refinement and not need a minor
modification. For the Letter of refinement request, please include a narrative explaining the scope of the work, a work
plat that includes dimensions and shows the proposed changes, the two new adjacent neighbor notification forms, and a
copy of the active permit.
Please let know if you have any questions.

As I briefly mentioned, I wish to 'reduce' the covered (roof) portion of the Fixed Section, and 'increase' the covered

The total covered square feet of this 'refinement' is less than the permitted size of 753 sgft.

Yes sir, thanks for your quick response!
So in talking with my contractor (construction has not started), the thought would be to reduce the `roof size of the
fixed section..., and increase the roof size over the boat lift section (for,the new proposed lift).
Total coverage area (I understand) would be 743 sq.ft. ..(I.e., would not exceed 753 sq ft).
Does this trigger the "letter of refinement"?
If a letter of refinement is required under this scenario, how do I prepare and file?
Thanks again for explaining?

Good Morning,
You are permitted up to the total square footage of 753. Since the final construction is less, there is no need for an
additional permit action.
Please note that if you decide to reorganize the permitted square footage within the same footprint, then you will creed
at minimum a letter of refinement. But If the platform of floating section is just smaller than proposed, that is fine,
Thanks,

Good Morning,
I was advised to contact you directly.
I am the homeowner at 9193 Schuyler Dr., Calabash, NC, and received the above referenced permit.
The above referenced permit -- permits a total 753 sq ft of covered area (15'x15' boat lift roof; 20'x20' covered fixed
section; and Vx16' floating section).
My question -- If the `coverage square feet' is actually constructed to be approximately 10 sq ft LESS (or 743 sq ft), do
need to do anything for CAMA permission?
Thank you in advance for your response.
