Dear Susan:
It's been a few weeks since our last correspondence, and I wanted to made sure you
had received my comments concerning the signature page of the Transfer of Ownership
form. First, it was submitted on a different form than State Stormwater uses, and
second, I am unable to accept the signatures on different pages. Both original
sianatures must be on the some page.

Re: Beachwalk @ Kure Beach Subdivision
Transfer of Stormwater Permit 960158
Dear Linda:
As we discussed by telephone, Beachwalk Homeowners Association and Robert
Weinbach have reached an agreement, whereby the Association will accept transfer of
Stormwater Permit 960158, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in a settlement
agreement to be executed by the parties, and subject to your approval of the permit transfer.
It is my understanding that in order for the transfer to be approved, both Mr.
Weinbach, as the current permit holder, and the Association, as the proposed transferee of
the permit, must sign the "Water Quality Section Permit Name/Ownership Change Form",
Form Number SWU-239-080102, and that the Association must sign the "Wet Detention
Basin Supplement", Form Number SWU 102.
The "Wet Detention Basin Supplement" includes a section entitled "Required Items
Checklist", and calls for the applicant's initials to indicate that various design requirements
have been met, or if a requirement has not been met, an explanation of the justification
therefore. As you know, information provided to the Association indicates that the
stormwater system is not currently in compliance with the permitted design criteria. Under
the terms of the settlement agreement, and subject to your approval, the Association has
agreed to accept transfer of the permit, and all obligations that go with it, without requiring
Mr. Wembach to first bring the stormwater system into compliance. As such, the
Association cannot currently represent .on the Wet. Detention Pond Supplement that the
design requirements have been met. However, upon acceptance of the permit, the
Association. will accept responsibility for compliance with DWQ's rulesand regulations.
Also, it is my understanding that the permit will remain valid for a period of ten years from
the date of transfer of the permit to the Association.
Ms. Linda Lewis
March 26, 2004
Page 2 of 2
Please confirm that this course of action is acceptable, and that DWQ will approve
transfer of the permit as described herein.
I appreciate the professional and cooperative manner with which you have treated
this difficult situation.
With kind regards, I remain
Si erely yours,
usan McDaniel Keelin

Re: Beachwalk Homeowners Association, Inc.
Dear Edward:
Your letter of March 4 is bewildering. I tried to reach you by telephone on Friday
and again this afternoon to discuss the matter directly, but you were not available.
On February 10, you wrote that "This will also confirm that your client requests an
opportunity 0 speak with W. Talton p' or.to.responding to Mr. Weinbach's offer. Given
the fact that Mr. Talton is. out.of town until next. Monday, Mr. Weinbach has no Abjection to
extending the time for a, response untilearly nett week. Please note that I will be in
depositions all day on Tuesday, February 17 and Wednesday, February 18."
I confided in you by telephone one day during the week of February 16 that I had
suffered a personal loss and would not be able to meet with my clients or talk with Mr.
Talton until the following week You assured me that was not a problem.
When I returned to the office on Monday, February 23, I met with my clients and
attempted to speak with Mr. Talton. As set forth in my letter to you of February 26, since
Mr. Talton was unwilling to discuss his bid with me, I.posed certain pertinent questions to
you, in order to ' allow the Association to make a prudent decision on' how to respond to. Mr.
Weinbach's offer
Your March 4 letter ends with the statement that "[I] regret that your client did not
wish to accept Mr. Weinbach's settlement offer." At this point, the Association has neither
accepted nor rejected Mr. Weinbach's settlement offer as set forth in your February 5 letter,
and I find it curious that Mr. Weinbach would unilaterally end settlement negotiations in
lieu of responding to the request for information that the Association has no way of
obtaining on its own.
It appears to me that a monetary settlement is feasible and both parties have
expressed an interest in such a resolution. The Association's last demand was $125,000,
and Mr. Weinbach's last offer was $85,000. Mr. Weinbach's attempt to force Talton
Contractors on the Association without responding to the Association's questions diverts
Edward Coleman
March 8, 2004
Page 2.of 2
both parties from their objective. The Association's concerns about Talton are legitimate:
this company admittedly has no experience with this type of project, and its bid is so far out
of line with the bids of experienced companies that it seems unrealistic. Talton's bid
includes no explanation of how the removed sediment will be disposed of and the price
does not take into account liability for damage to private property or city streets. Mr.
Weinbach faces significant potential liability if Talton falls short of his objectives on this
project.
If Mr. Weinbach's goal is to be free from liability associated with the stormwater
management ponds at Beachwalk, I do not believe the approach set forth in your March 4
letter will. help ltim accoRiphsh that goal an the Sher hand, if you or your client has any
interest .in contmuing settlement' negotiations; including a monetary settlement, 'ttansfet of
the stormwater permit, legal transfer of title to the common areas and a release of claims by
the Association, please let me know. Otherwise, we will prepare for continued litigation.
With kind regards, I remain
Scerely yours,

Re: Beachwalk Homeowners Association, Inc.
Dear Edward:
In accordance with our prior discussions, I contacted Michael Talton of Talton's
Clearing Contractors, Inc. on Monday, February 23 with the intention of discussing his
$85,000 bid to perform work on the, stormwater management system at Beachwalk at Kure
Beach. The undated bid which yoti provided to me on Febraaiy 5, is addressed to acid bears
A. signature line for Beachwalk, Homeowners. Association, .Inc:. Your letter. of February 5
indicates that Talton's is prepared to enter into a contract for $815,000 with either Mr.
Weinbach or the Association.
As you are aware, Mir. Talton declined to discuss the bid or any other matter with
me. He requested that I direct my questions to Bob Weinbach: As Mr. Weinbach's counsel,
I pose the following questions to you, the answers to which the Association requires in order
to prudently determine how to respond to the current state of affairs:
1. Is Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc. still willing to enter into a contract
with the Association?
2. Please have Talton's provide a list of all projects completed within the past 3
years, including the name and phone numbber of a contact person for each
project.
3. It is my understanding that Talton's has never performed a project
comparable to this one. That being the case, how did he calculate his bid for
this project? Did he have access to the bids from Retention Pond Services,
Malpass, or Thompson? If so, how does he rationalize his dramatically lower
bid, given that they have experience with similar projects and he does not?
4. Is Talton's a financially viable company? What type of insurance does it
carry?
5. Is Talton's willing to submit a detailed bid that can be compared with the bid
provided by Retention Pond Services?
6. How does Talton's propose to handle the disposal of the sediment removed
from the ponds?

RE: Beachwalk at Kure Beach
Our File 279-GEC-02
Dear Ms. Lewis:
This correspondence will bring you up to date as to the status of the settlement negotiations
between my client, Mr. Bob Weinbach/Beachwalk Development, Inc., and the Beachwalk
Homeowners Association, who is represented by Ms. Susan Keelln. After speaking with Mr.
Weinbach today, I have been authorized to advise you that Mr. Weinbach will be entering into a
contract within the next few days with Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc. to remove sediment from
both retention ponds, as well as to clean the feeder ditches to provide proper flow. The scope of
the work to be performed by Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc. was confirmed on February 18,
2004 during the course of an on -site meeting with Mr. Weinbach, Mr. Michael L. Talton (President
of Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc.) and Mr. David Hollis of Hanover Design. Please recall that
Mr. Hollis designed the drainage system and certified the as -built plans.
While Ms. Keelin and her client may disagree, Mr. Weinbach has attempted in good faith
to resolve this matter amicably. In fact, in Mediation on January 15, 2004, Mr. Weinbach offered
to pay $100,000 toward a $165,000 proposed contract from Retention Pond Services. The
representatives from the Beachwalk HOA at Mediation, Including the Board President, Mr. Rich
Camilletti, indicated that they would recommend the settlement offer to the full Board but that
acceptance of the offer was contingent upon approval of the entire Board. Unfortunately, the Board
rejected the offer on January 20, 2004.
Thereafter, the Homeowners Association demanded Mr. Weinbach to pay $150,000 to
settle the matter and later reduced. their demand to $125,000. Prior to responding to the
Homeowners last demand of $125,000, Mr. Weinbach felt it was prudent to try to solicit a lower bid
for the remediation work. Fortunately, Mr. Weinbach was able to secure a bid in the amount of
$85,000 from Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc. "Initially, the bid was offered to both the
Homeowners Association, as well as Mr. Weinbach. Given the fact that the $85,000 bid from
Talton's was $15,000 less than Mr. Weinbach had previously offered to settle the matter, Mr.
Weinbach offered to pay the Beachwalk HOA $85,000 and have the HOA contract directly with

e

Talton's similar to the proposal at Mediation where the Beachwalk HOA was to contract directly with
Retention Pond Services.
Mr. Weinbach's offer to pay $85,000 to settle the matter was made in writing on February
5, 2004, and a copy of the Talton proposal to the Beachwalk HOA in the amount of $85,000 was
attached to Mr. Weinbach's proposal. A few days later, Mr. Talton advised Mr. Weinbach that he
was no longer interested in contracting with the Beachwalk HOA in light of a conversation that Mr,
Talton had with Mr. Dean Lambeth, who is a representative of the Beachwalk HOA.
Based on the fact that Mr. Talton received instructions with respect to the scope of the work
from Mr. Hollis, I am confident that the work that will be performed by Talton is consistent with what
needs to be done to satisfy the concerns of your office. While the language contained in the permit
issued by your office to Beachwalk Development, Inc. affords your office the ability to seek
compliance by Mr. Weinbach/ Beachwalk Development, Mr. Weinbach contends that the
responsibility for maintenance was clearly transferred to the Beachwalk HOA in both the restrictive
covenants and the plats which were recorded. Mr. Weinbach intends to file suit against the
Beachwalk HOA seeking contribution/ indemnification for the $85,000 that he will pay to Talton.
Perhaps I have given you more information that you need to know, however, it is important
to me that you understand that Mr. Weinbach has attempted to resolve this matter amicably and
most importantly that Mr. Weinbach has arranged for the requisite work to be performed. It is my
understanding that, pending weather constraints, Mr. Talton will begin work by mid -June 2004.
Given the fact that the Beachwalk HOA has filed suit contending that they do not own the common
areas, I assume that Talton will be afforded access over the maintenance easements to perform
the work. I have attached correspondence to Ms. Keelin confirming Mr. Weinbach's decision to
proceed with the work.
I will advise you when the work begins and when it is completed. Should you have any
questions concerning the contents of this correspondence, please feel free to contact me. Finally,
I sincerely appreciate you affording the parties an opportunity to attempt to resolve this matter
amicably.

WILLIAM L. HILL, II (1931-2001)
Further to Mr. Weinbach's most recent settlement offer as recited in my
correspondence to you dated February 5, 2004, our subsequent telephone conversation
on February 10, and your correspondence of February 26, it is my understanding that Mr.
Dean Lambeth contacted and met with Mr. Michael Talton of Talton's Clearing Contractors,
Inc. with respect to Talton's bid to the Beachwalk HOA in the amount of $85,000. It is my
further understanding that following the meeting between Mr. Talton and Mr. Lambeth, Mr.
Talton decided that he does not wish to enter into a contract with the Beachwalk HOA but
will enter into a contract with Mr. Weinbach. In addition to discussing the scope of work,
Mr. Lambeth apparently felt compelled to advise Mr. Talton that he believes Mr. Talton had
undervalued the project given the fact that other bids are significantly higher than
Mr. Talton's.
Mr. Weinbach met on February 18, 2004 at Beachwalk with Mr. Talton and Mr.
David Hollis of Hanover Design. Please recall that Mr. Hollis is the engineerwhu designed
the Storm Water system and certified the as -built plans. As a result of the meeting with
Mr. Talton and Mr. Hollis, Mr. Weinbach has decided that he will enter into a contract with
Talton and file suit against the Beachwalk HOA seeking indemnity/contribution.
It is my understanding that the work will begin in late May or early June. Talton will
need complete access of the 30-foot wide feeder ditch drainage easements, as well as the
pond common area drainage easements, as provided in the recorded plat in Map Book 36,
pages 284 and 285. Based on my inspection of the premises with Glen Garrett several
weeks ago, as well as the inspection by Mr. Talton, Mr. Hollis and Mr. Weinbach on
February 18, it is readily apparent that there are various items within the drainage
easements, including mature vegetation/landscaping, fencing and possibly two air
5—`4-04;11:13AM;HO13UE HILL JONES
e,
Ms. Susan McDaniel Keelin
Page 2

conditioning/heating units. Please advise the property owners within the drainage
easements that they are to remove all mature vegetation/landscaping, fencing, air
conditioning/heating units or any other object within the drainage easement at the property
owners' expense prior to May 15. 2004. Any items left in the drainage easement that need
to be removed in order to do maintenance will be removed at the property owners'
expense.
My recent inspection of the property also revealed that many homeowners have
buried drain lines that are tied into the homeowners' roof gutters so that the gutter
discharge flows through an underground pipe and is deposited directly into the storm water
system feeder ditches. This practice is expressly prohibited by the Storm Water Permit.
Please have all homeowners who have pipes that allow gutter runoff to flow into the feeder
ditches to remove the pipes. Finally, the fountains that have been placed in the ponds
should be removed immediately, as they are in violation of the Storm Water Permit.
As I indicated in my February 5, 2004 correspondence, Mr. Weinbach is willing to
consider a proposed Consent Judgment in the pending lawsuit that the Beachwalk HOA
has filed. Ideally, the Beachwalk HOA would agree to assume transfer of the Storm Water
Permit and common areas after Talton completes its work. If the Beachwalk HOA is not
willing to accept transfer of all of the common areas and Storm Water Permit at that time,
we will need to discuss a lease for the amenities.
Again, please advise the affected property owners to remove all items within the
drainage easements, to remove drain pipes that channel wafter directly into the feeder
ditches, and to remove the fountains from both of the ponds.
I appreciate your effort to get this matter resolved and regret that your client did not
wish to accept Mr. Weinbach's settlement offer.

Dear Susan:
This will confirm our conversation this morning regarding Mr. Weinbach's recent proposal.
This will also confirm that your client requests an opportunity to speak with Mr. Talton prior to
responding to Mr. Weinbach's offer. Given the fact that Mr. Talton is out of town until next
Monday, Mr. Weinbach has no objection to extending the time for a response until early next
week. Please note I will be in depositions all day on Tuesday, February 17 and Wednesday,
February 18.

blind p.s. to Ms. Lewis:
Dear Ms. Lewis:
The parties have had ongoing settlement negotiations with Mr. Rountree serving
as Mediator over the last several weeks. In fact, Mr. Weinbach left Mediation on January 15,
2004 after offering $100,000.00 to settle this matter thinking that the case had been resolved.
While the $100,000.00 was accepted by the Board Members who were present at Mediation,
it was conditioned on acceptance of the entire Board, who rejected the offer on Tuesday,
January 20, 2004. Since that time, there have been ongoing discussions which have resulted
in what I believe to be another more than fair offer on the part of Mr. Weinbach. I expect to
receive either an acceptance or a rejection of Mr. Weinbach's most recent proposal within the
next week to ten days. If the HOA does not accept Mr. Weinbach's most recent offer, he is
prepared to enter into a contract with a licensed contractor to remove the sediment, and clean
the feeder ditches as suggested by Mr. David Hollis of Hanover Design. Otherwise, Mr. Hollis
believes the pond is in compliance. The bottom fine is either the HOA will accept
Mr. Weinbach's final offer to settle the case or they will reject it. If the HOA rejects the offer then
Mr. Weinbach is prepared to personally see that the work is done and then he will file a lawsuit
against the HOA seeking contribution and indemnity based on the fact that the Restrictive
Covenants and Recorded Plat clearly provide that the homeowners are responsible for
maintenance, coupled with the fact that the HOA has, in fact, assessed homeowners for
maintenance and has maintained the pond system up to the point it was discovered that
sediment needed to be removed.
I sincerely appreciate your office granting the parties an opportunity to resolve this matter
amicably. Again, I am optimistic that this case will be resolved in the next week to ten days.
However, the negotiation process is quickly nearing an end and it is important for your office to

OF COUNSEL
CYRUS D. HOGUE, JR.
WILLIAM L. HILL, II (1931-2001)
Please be advised that counsel for the respective parties (myself on behalf of
Beachwalk Development/Bob Weinbach; Susan Keelin on behalf of the Beachwalk
Homeowners Association; and Andy Canoutas on behalf of the Town of Kure Beach) met at
Mr. George Rountree's office on the morning of Tuesday, December 2, 2003 for a
"pre -mediation meeting." Counsel discussed the issues associated with this matter as well
as potential settlement options. As you are aware, the case was set for Mediation on
Tuesday, December 16, 2003 to include negotiation on all issues associated with this matter,
including allocation of financial responsibility for the pond maintenance work that Ms. Keelin
and I discussed with you during or recent meeting.
During the course of the meeting at Mr. Rountree's office, a creative potential
resolution was discussed that would require Mr. Canoutas to get the approval of the Kure
Beach Board of Aldermen. Assuming Mr. Canoutas is able to gain the approval of the Kure
Beach Board of Aldermen then it is likely that this matter will be resolved very quickly.
Unfortunately, the next Kure Beach Board of Aldermen meeting is scheduled for the
evening of Tuesday, December 16, 2003 which was the date for Mediation.
Ms. Linda Lewis
December 8, 2003
Page 2
The parties agreed to postpone Mediation pending Mr. Canoutas presenting the
proposal to the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen. If the Board accepts the proposal, then, as
stated above, this matter should be wrapped up fairly quickly. The other two obvious
responses from the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen are (1) a request for additional
information from Mr. Canoutas, or (2) reject the proposal. If the Kure Board of Aldermen
rejects the proposal, then the parties will be prepared to return to Mediation as soon as a new
date is agreed upon. I would hope that date would be either by the end of the year or within
the first two weeks of January 2004. If the Board of Aldermen requests additional
information, then it is likely that Board approval of the potential settlement might not come
until the January 2004 meeting of the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen which I assume will be
held on Tuesday, January 20, 2004.
I fully understand your desire to get this matter resolved and sincerely appreciate you
allowing counsel the opportunity to pursue an amicable resolution. As evidenced by the
progress made during the meeting with Mr. Rountree, I am cautiously optimistic that the
parties are close to resolving this matter.
I request that you allow the parties to continue settlement negotiations which will
include either (1) a report to you on December 17 that the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen has
accepted the proposal; (2) the Town of Kure Beach requests additional information and will
not be prepared to make a decision until January 20, 2004; or, (3) that the Kure Beach Board
of Aldermen rejects the proposed settlement and the parties will proceed to Mediation.
Please feel free to contact me or any of the other attorneys, including Mr. Rountree,
if you have any additional questions. Otherwise, I will report to you on December 17, 2003
to provide you with a status report.
Very truly yours,

It was a pleasure meeting with you and Ms. Thompson yesterday afternoon at which
time we reviewed the current status and history of this matter in detail. Further to your
request, I have enclosed a copy of the Time Line I have prepared along with a copy of
Mr. Hollis' survey reflecting the depth of both ponds. In addition, I have enclosed a copy of
the $125,000.00 bid received from Retention Pond Services, Inc.
As indicated yesterday, this case is set for Mediation on Tuesday, December 16, 2003,
at the office of Mr. Rountree who is serving as Mediator. I do not have an objection to either
you or someone from your office attending Mediation, however, I would appreciate you letting
me know ahead of time so that we can advise Mr. Rountree. If I do not hear from you, it will
be my assumption that neither you nor someone from your office plan on attending Mediation
and I will promptly report to you following Mediation.
Again, I appreciate your cooperation. Please let me know if you have any questions.

May 7, 1996 North Carolina Storm Water Maintenance Permit Application
is submitted by Beachwalk Development, Inc. including
Attachment "A" (Low Density in Subdivision Projects) and
Pond Maintenance Requirements.
September 9, 1996 Correspondence from Jim Bushardt (acting Regional Water
Quality Supervisor of DEHNR) advising Mr. Weinbach that the
Wilmington Regional Office has approved the Storm Water
Management Permit Application from Beachwalk in Kure
Beach on May 16, 1996. A staff review of the plans and
specifications has determined that the project as proposed will
comply with the Storm Water Regulations set forth in Title 15A
NCAC 21-1. 1000. Mr. Bushardt forwards Permit No. SW8
960518 dated September 9, 1996. The correspondence
advises that"failure to establish adequate system for operation
and maintenance of the storm water management system will
result in future compliance problems."
The State Storm Water Management Permit was granted to
Beachwalk Development, Inc. and Gulfstream Group, Inc.
Beachwalk at Kure Beach. Mr. Bob Weinbach is listed as the
Applicant. Point of depth is stated to be 7.5 feet. Permanent
Pool Elevation is stated to be 17.6 MSL, Offsite area entering
the pond is identified as Kure Dunes Lots at 70% Maximum
BUA. Numbered paragraph 4 under Section 1 (Design
Standards) states that no homeowner shall pipe any drainage
feature without submitting a revision to the Permit. Numbered
paragraph under Section 2 (Schedule of Compliance) requires
the Permitee shall at all times provide the operation and
maintenance necessary to assure the permitted storm water
system functions at optimal efficiency. The approved
Operation and Maintenance Plan must be followed in its
entirety and maintenance must occur at the scheduled interval

on side slopes; immediate repair of eroded areas;
maintenance of side slopes in accordance with approved plans
and specifications; debris removal and unclogging of outlet
structure orifice device in catch basins and piping; access to
the outlet structure must be available at all times.
Numbered paragraph 4 under Section 2 (Schedule of
Compliance) requires that records of maintenance activities
must be kept and made available upon request to authorized
personnel of DWQ.
February 27, 1997 Beachwalk at Kure Beach plat/map is recorded providing that
all common areas and drainage easements are to be
maintained by the Beachwalk Property Owners Association
and all common area ponds are to be the property of the
Beachwalk Property Owners Association.
March 7, 1997 Beachwalk Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions are filed.
"Common Area" includes any small common area designated
on the map recorded for Beachwalk. Special assessments
may be had for the improvement and maintenance of the
common areas. A special assessment must have the approval
of two-thirds of the vote of each class of members. Notice of
in10 days must be provided to call a meeting for consideration

June 28, 2001 Linda Lewis sends correspondence to Bob Weinbach stating
that she understands Mr. Weinbach is no longer associated
with the project. Ms. Lewis states that she believes Mr.
Weinbach may have violated Section 3, Part 1 of the Storm
Water Permit by not seeking a name/ownership change.
August 7, 2001 Bill Lynch sends correspondence to Linda Lewis [erroneously]
advising that the common areas have been transferred to the
HOA. My Lynch takes the position that the North Carolina
Planned Community Act (N.C.G.S. 47F-3-107) places the
obligation for operation and maintenance of common facilities
upon the HOA.
March 8, 2002 Linda Lewis sends correspondence to Edward Coleman stating
that the HOA is questioning whether the approved drainage
and grading plans were followed, who owns the common
areas, and who has responsibility for maintaining the wet
detention pond. Ms. Lewis states that Section 3, Part 1 of the
Permit requires that the Permitee must submit a
Name/Ownership Change Form and supporting documentation
to transfer maintenance responsibility. Ms. Lewis requests that
a copy of the written maintenance records be submitted. Ms.
Lewis indicates that the homeowners allege that stockpiled
material may be blocking drainage and may keep it from
reaching the detention pond and that Mr. Weinbach performed
no maintenance on the system while he was on site.
April 4, 2002 Edward Coleman provided Linda Lewis via hand delivery with
a copy of the Certified As Built Blueprints and photographs.
April 9, 2002 Edward Coleman and David Hollis inspect the drainage system
at Beachwalk. It is discovered that a dam has been
10-14-03; 2:16PM;HOGUE H'LL JONES ;9i0 763 4985 # 10/ 13
constructed at the mouth at the southeasternmost drainage
ditch which causes the pool level to be higher than the design
and approved level. It is also discovered that numerous
homeowners have piped gutter runoff directly into the drainage
system.
April 24, 2002 Correspondence is sent from Edward Coleman to Linda Lewis
detailing the on -site inspection performed by Mr. Coleman and
Mr. Hollis on April 9, 2002. The correspondence also includes
photographs and a copy of the certified As Built Plans.
May 1, 2002 Edward Coleman meets with Bob McKoy (Property Manager),
and homeowners/board members, Dean Lambeth, Tim Fuller,
Pat Holleman and Rick Camilletti. The group performs an
on -site inspection and discusses Mr. Weinbach's potential
responsibility for 4 "items" which include: (1) removal of the
large mound of dirt on the north common area; (2) removal of
sediment in the drainage ditch between the ponds; (3)
placement of sod in a 150 feet by 4 feet section along the
western bank of the southeasternmost drainage ditch; and (4)
filling in a small area with dirt and covering the same with sod
along the eastern side of the southeasternmost drainage ditch.
There was no mention of concern regarding pond depth and
no mention of having the drainage system re -certified prior to
transfer of the Permit.
July 30, 2002 Correspondence to Bob McKoy confirming our meetings over
the last few weeks. Correspondence acknowledges that
Mr. Weinbach is prepared to incurthe expense associated with
removing the mound of dirt in the common area; add dirt to a
small section on the southeast bank of the southernmost
drainage ditch and cover the dirt with sod; add sod to an
approximately 150 ft. x 4 ft. section on the western bank of the
southernmost drainage ditch; and remove a small amount of
sediment built up in the middle section of the drainage ditch
between the two large ponds.

August 6, 2002 Hogue, Hill, Jones, Nash & Lynch records a deed conveying
the common area to the HOA,
August 6, 2002 Correspondence from 'Edward Coleman to Linda Lewis
confirming conversation last week regarding Beachwalk at
Kure Beach. Original Permit Application was approved on
September 9, 1996 and included consideration for storm water
runoff from Kure Dunes accounting for 4.5 acres at 70%
impervious. Thereafter, Mr. Hollis inspected the storm water
drainage system for certification and discovered that the
system as constructed could not be certified due to minor
deviations from the approved plans. Working with the Division
of Water Quality, Mr. Weinbach applied for a Modification
Permit using the as -built plans. The Modification Permit was
granted on April 6, 1998. Thereafter, Mr. Hollis certified the
storm water drainage system on April 13, 1998.
Ms. Lewis is advised that Mr. Weinbach will incur the expense
associated with removing the dirt on the northern common
area, removing sediment in the area between the two ponds;
adding sod to the northern bank of the southeasternmost
drainage ditch; and filling in a hole and sodding a small area
on the east side of the southeasternmost drainage ditch.
August 19, 2002 Correspondence from Linda Lewis to Edward Coleman stating
that Ms. Lewis, after discussion with the homeowners and
input from the Central Office and Staff, believes that the
homeowners' main issue revolves around the uncertainty of
the pond's depth. Ms. Lewis suggests that Mr. Weinbach have
the pond's depth checked by a disinterested third party. Ms.
Lewis advises that a full recertification is not necessary since
all other permitted requirements of the pond desican have been
verified by the engineer prior to the most recent modification in

1998. Ms. Lewis states that it will be up to Mr. Weinbach and
the homeowners to negotiate the terms for who will pay for
removal of the sediment. Both sides need to acknowledge
their part in creating this situation. The homeowners need to
be aware that they have enjoyed the use of the pond since
1996. Mr. Weinbach needs to remember that he violated his
Permit by not submitting a formal request to the Division to
transfer the Permit to the HOA. The fact that the Kure Dunes
homeowners will not be contributing to the cost to maintain the
pond does not sit well. Please get this matter resolved prior to
October 19, 2002.
September 5, 2002 Correspondence from David Hollis to Edward Coleman
containing results of the pond inspection which revealed that
sediment needed to be removed from both ponds.
October 14, 2002 Correspondence from Edward Coleman to Linda Lewis

to reschedule our meeting until Monday, October 13 at 10:00 a.m. in Ms. Lewis' office. I ask
that Ms. McDaniel please let me know if she is not available on October 13 and/or if there is
an objection to me contacting the Town of Kure Beach to request that they send a
representative to the meeting.
Unless I hear from Ms. McDaniel, I will assume that the meeting will proceed as

Dear Ms. Lewis and Ms. McDaniel:
This will confirm receiptof Ms. McDaniel's message leftwith my secretary earlier today
regarding her availability on October 15, 2003 and suggestion that the meeting only take
place between the three of us. I do not have an objection to the three of us meeting,
however, I do believe it might be prudent for a representative of the Town of Kure Beach to
also attend the meeting as 38% of the flow impacting the system flows from property owned
by the Town of Kure Beach. I believe this fact was raised in a recent letter I received from
Ms. McDaniel.
I believe the Town's interest in participating in settlement at mediation is contingent
upon the Town being fully advised of the situation associated with the system, including their
use and enjoyment of the system prior to mediation. If either of you object to a representative
of the Town of Kure Beach attending the meeting between us, then I ask that you please let
me know as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will contact the Kure Beach Town Attorney once
we have agreed upon a date.

With respect to the scheduling of our meeting, I learned earlier today that I will not be
available on Wednesday, October 15, 2003, and apologize for having to reschedule. I am
representing one of the 13 defendants that have been sued by 71 former employees of the
Honeywell plant in Brunswick County. Counsel has been reserving the week of October 13,
2003 for depositions. I learned earlier today that I will need to attend depositions on
October 14, 15, and 16. 1 could still meet on Monday, October 13, if that is acceptable with
you. In addition, I can be flexible in scheduling a meeting during the week of October 20.
Again, I sincerely appreciate your cooperation and look forward to hearing from each
of you regarding scheduling as well as your opinion as to whether a representative from the
Town of Kure Beach should attend the meeting.

Further to your facsimile of yesterday, I have set aside October 15 for a meeting at
your office. In addition, I have copied Ms. McDaniel on this correspondence and ask that she
contact both you and I if she is unavailable October 15, 2003 at 10:00 a.m.
Ms. McDaniel and I have been discussing over the past few weeks, the possibility of
attempting this matter via mediation and have identified Mr. George Rountree as a mutually
acceptable mediator, contingent upon his fee. In addition, Ms. McDaniel and through recent
facsimiles to each other, agree that it might be more prudent for the meeting on October 15
to be with you, Ms. McDaniel, a representative from the Town of Kure Beach (presumably
Andy Kanutus), and myself. If the parties will commit to go to mediation shortly after our
meeting with you then that will allow the parties to share their concerns and positions with you
as well as for you to share your concerns and questions with counsel prior to mediation and
would not place you in the position of serving as a "mediator" if we were to meet with the
parties being present, as well as counsel.
Unless I hear from you or Ms. McDaniel to the contrary, it will be my assumption that
we will meet in your office on October 15 at 10:00 with attorneys only. Unless you object, I
will contact Mr. Kanutus and request that he also attend the meeting. I will let you know
Mr. Kanutus' position regarding attendance.

Dear Ms. Lewis:
The Beachwalk Homeowners Association has been trying to work with Bob Weinbach to
settle the issues about our retention ponds and drainage system.
Unfortunately, Mr. Weinbach is unwilling to talk with us and refuses to honor previous
commitments. The Beachwalk HOA has no leverage with Mr, Weinbach, In
conversations with you in the past, you indicated that DENR could exert some Muence
on Mr. Weinbach.
I know you have been busy lately with other thznp4, but 1 wonder if you might be able to
assist us in this matter.
Attached are copies of recent correspondence from our attorney and a time line of the
discussion that we compiled to illustrate the difficulty we have had.
Please call me if you need any further information.

Subject: Beachwalk HOA/Weinbach
Edward,
From our telephone conversation this afternoon, it is my understanding that
Mr. Weinbach is unwilling to sign the agreement tendered and signed by the
HOA, primarily because he believes Hollis' survey is sufficient, and he does
not want to incur the additional cost of an independent surveyor to
determine the depth of the drainage ditches, to locate and determine the
condition of the forebays shown on the certified as -built drawings, or to
provide an opinion regarding compliance of the stormwater drainage system,
as originally constructed, with DWQ regulations in effect at the time of the
construction. I indicated that I am willing to discuss any alternate
proposal with my client, but that the HOA is losing faith and patience, and
wants Weinbach to sign an agreement with teeth in it which fairly and
reasonably addresses ail of the issues on the table.
You indicated that David Hollis of Hanover Design Services believes it is
unnecessary to survey the drainage ditches in order to obtain a binding bid
for removal of sediment from the ditches, because in his experience the
bidders will inspect the ditches betbre they bid, and zhe cost of removal of
sediment from the ditches is a "miniscule part of the bid relative to the
cost of removing sediment from the ponds. If the bidders find Hollis'
optimistic opinion not to hold true, please suggest a mechanism that would
allow the bidding to move forward without delay. Please also address how
the HOA is to obtain current information about the location and condition of
the forebays, and how the HOA is to obtain an opinion regarding compliance
of the system with DWQ regulations in effect at the time of construction.
This ir&rmation is important because it will obviously influence tb .fair.
cost allocation between Weinbach and the HOA for bringing the system up to
par-
Keepin mind that the HOA wants to have Weinbach pay the costs associated
with removal of sediment from the drainage ditches, sodding of the western
bank of the southernmost drainage ditch, filling the indention on the
eastern bank of the southernmost drainage ditch and cover the same with sod,
and any other work required to bring the drainage system up to state
standards. The only work tho HOA proposes to have Weinbach handle directly
is removal of the dirt mound. The HOA can then coordinate the most

Beachwalk HOA/Weinbach
Edward,
From our telephone conversation this afternoon, it is my understanding that
Mr. Weinbach is unwilling to sign the agreement tendered and signed by the
HOA, primarily because he believes Hollis' survey is sufficient, and he does
not want to incur the additional cost of an independent surveyor to
determine the depth of the drainage ditches, to locate and determine the
condition of the forebays shown on the certified as -built drawings, or to
provide an opinion regarding compliance of the stormwater drainage system,
as originally constructed, with DWQ regulations in effect at the time of the
construction. I indicated that I am willing to discuss any alternate
proposal with my client, but that the HOA is losing faith and patience, and
wants Weinbach to sign an agreement with teeth in it which fairly and
reasonably addresses all of the issues on the table.
You indicated. that David Hollis of Hanover Design Services believes it is
unnecessary to survey the drainage ditches in order to obtain a binding bid
for removal of sediment from the ditches, because in his experience the
bidders will inspect the ditches betbre they bid, and the cost of removal of
sediment from the ditches is a "miniscule" part of the bid relative to the
cost of removing sediment from the ponds. If the bidders find Hollis'
optimistic opinion not to hold true, please suggest a mechanism that would
allow the bidding to move forward without delay. Please also address how
the HOA is to obtain current information about the location and condition of
the forebays, and how the HOA is to obtain an opinion regarding compliance
of the system with DWQ regulations in effect at the time of construction.
Tbls, Wbrmation is important bewise It will obviously influence the fair
cost allocation between Weinbach and the HOA for bringing the system up to
par -
Keep in mind that the HOA wants to have Weinbach pay the costs associated
with removal of sediment from the drainage ditches, sodding of the western
bank of the southernmost drainage ditch, filling the indention on the
eastern bank of the southernmost drainage ditch and cover the same with sod,
and any other work required to bring the drainage system up to state
standards. The only work tho HOA proposes to have Weinbach handle directly
is removal of the dirt around. The HOA can then coordinate the most
efficient timing of the other work.
Also, please address in your proposed agreement resolution of the

Beachwalk Development
Stormwater Permit No. SW8 960518
New Hanover County
On October 8, 1998, the Division of Water Quality issued you a modined Stormwater Management
Permit for the development known as Beachwalk @Kure Beach. The modification was issued to allow for the
runoff from Kure Dunes to be treated in the wet detention pond approved for Beachwalk. Since that time,
several events have occurred which require your immediate attention.
It is my understanding that you are no longer associated with this project. Per the requirements of
Section III, Part 1 of your permit, a name/ownership change form must be completed and submitted along with
other supporting documentation in order to transfer the permit and maintenance responsibility to the
Homeowner's Association. Until this is done, you will remain legally responsible for maintaining the pond and
the project in compliance with the permit conditions.
The Division is requesting that you meet with the HOA and resolve any outstanding issues with them,
complete the appropriate form to transfer the permit and submit it along with the required supporting
documentation. Once the site is determined to be compliance, the permit will be transferred. Please respond to
this letter by August 25, 2001. Failure to respond by the due date will result in the initiation of enforcement
action, which may include recommendations for the assessment of civil penalties, pursuant to NCGS 143-
215.6A.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 395-3900.

WILLIAM L. HILL, II (1931-2001).
Further to your correspondence of August 19, 2002, this will confirm that I have
been working diligently on behalf of my client, Mr. Bob Weinbach, regarding the dispute
with the Beachwalk at Kure Beach Homeowners Association. Approximately three weeks
ago, the HOA obtained the services of an attorney, Ms. Susan McDaniel. Over the last
three weeks, Ms. McDaniel and I have had several conversations regarding resolution of
this matter and we have also traveled to Beachwalk together to inspect the property.

Further to my correspondence to you October 14, 2002, this will confirm that
Ms. Susan McDaniel (attorney for the Beachwalk HOA) and I are continuing our
discussions with respect to resolution of the above -referenced matter. Given the current
posture of the settlement discussions, both Ms. McDaniel and I are optimistic that a
resolution will be reached in the very near future. While Ms. McDaniel and I are making
progress toward the resolution , it will be necessary for both she and I to consult with our
clients to obtain approval before a final agreement can be reached. Therefore, with
Ms. McDaniel's consent, I am requesting that your office allow my client and the Beachwalk
HOA to continue their good faith effort to resolve this matter amicably without intervention
from the Division of Water Quality.
I anticipate Ms. McDaniel and I will be able to report to you more fully regarding a
possible resolution within the next two to three weeks. During the interim, please contact
me should you have any questions or if I can be of assistance in any way.
Please note that I will be out of my office until Wednesday, November 6. If you
need to reach me during that time frame, please feel free to call me on my cellular phone

This will confirm receipt of your March 8, 2002 correspondence to my attention. I have
reviewed the aforementioned correspondence with our client, Mr. Robert Weinbach, and enclosed for
your review the following docurncnts:
Deed transferring ownership of the Common Area from to dated
Certi 6cation of the ponds by David Hollis of Hanover Design Services, P.A.; and
Certification from David Criser, Town Engineer for Kure Beach.
Your aforementioned correspondence of March 8, 2002 seems to address five issues which are
as follows:
Whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed?;
2. Who owns the Common Areas?;
Who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond?;
4. Whether stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and maybe keeping it from
reaching the detention pond?; and
Whether Mr. Weinbach performed maintenance while he was on site.
Each of the aforementioned concerns are addressed below. As stated in correspondence from
Mr. Bill Lynch to you dated August 7, 2001 our client maintains that North Carolina Planned
Community Act (specifically N.C.G.S. 47F-3-107) places the obligation for operating and maintaining
common facilities upon the HOA for each planned community. The statutory provision does not
require that a name/ownership change form or any permanent transfer occur before the obligation of the
r +
• ' Ms. Linda Lewis
April 4, 2002
Page 2
HOA to operate and maintain common areas is imposed by statute. In fact, Mr. Weinbach has no right
of access over the property to perform maintenance.
Whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed? Our client
contends that the approved drainage and grading plans were followed as evidenced by
the certification of the Kure Beach Town Engineer, David Criser, a copy of which is
attached.
2. Who owns the common areas? Our client maintains that the common areas are owned
by the HOA as evidenced in the deed, a copy of which is attached hereto.
3. Who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond? Our client
maintains that the HOA is responsible for maintaining the detention pond as it is a
common area pursuant to the North Carolina Planned Community Act.
4. Whether stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and may be keeping it from
reaching the detention pond? At this point, I am not able to respond to this allegation
pending an onsite inspection. Our client has no knowledge of stockpiled material
blocking drainage and denies that he caused or contributed to any material being
stockpiled in the development.
Whether Mr. Weinbach performed no maintenance on the system while he was on
site? Mr. Weinbach contends that he maintained the pond in the course of the
development of the property and, in fact, made significant modifications to the pond
prior to receipt of the certificate attached hereto.
Your letter indicates that Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr. Dean Lambeth have had discussion with you
concerning the detention pond. I will be contacting both Mr. Fuller and Mr. Lambeth in the near future
to discuss any concerns that they may have. I anticipate these conversations will take place within the
next two weeks and you can expect to receive supplemental correspondence from me following those
conversations. I ask that you please diary your file ahead to May 15, 2002 in order to allow me an
opportunity to explore the HOA's concerns. During the interim, please contact me should you have any
questions or if I can be of assistance in any way.
Finally, you have requested I provide you with Mr. Weinbach's address which is 5216
Treybrooke Drive, Wilmington, North Carolina 28409. I ask that you please copy me on any
correspondence sent to Mr. Weinbach as well as advise me of you or anyone associated with the
Division of Water Quality or DNER wishes to speak with Mr. Weinbach.

New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Coleman:
I am in receipt your letter of August 6, 2002, on behalf of your client, Bob Weinbach,
regarding the Beachwalk pond re -certification. After much discussion with you, the
homeowners, and input from Central Office staff, it appears to me that the homeowners main
issue revolves around the uncertainty of the pond's depth. If this is the pivotal issue, then it would
be in your client's best interest to have the pond's depth checked by a disinterested third party. A
full re -certification is not necessary, since all other permitted requirements of the pond design
have been verified as provided by the engineer prior to the most recent modification in 1998.
Once the depth is checked, and assuming it needs to be cleaned out, it will be up to Mr.
Weinbach and the homeowners to negotiate the terms for who will pay for what. Both sides need
to acknowledge their parts in creating this situation. The homeowners need to be aware that they
have enjoyed the use of this pond since 1996. Mr. Weinbach needs to remember that he violated
his permit by not submitting a formal request to the Division to transfer the permit to the HOA_.
The fact that the Kure Dunes homeowners will not be contributing to the cost of maintaining the
pond that they enjoy the benefit of does not sit well, but I am here only to protect surface waters
from stormwater runoff pollution, not to negotiate a deal -I'll leave that to you. I encourage both
parties to sit down and reach a reasonable compromise rather than point fingers acid assign
blame.
Due to the extended time frame that has resulted from this staiidof% i an-, forced to place a
time limit on reaching a compromise before I initiate additional enforcemen. action. Please get
this resolved prior to October 19, 2002. Ed, it has been a real pleasure dealing with you, and 1
look forward to the equitable resolution of this situation in the near future. Upot: satisfactory
resolution, please forward all the necessary paperwork to my office f:ii, processing.;.

Linda:
BB and I talked this one over and came up with the following:
If the pond is out of compliance, we need to cite the permittee and get him
to bring it back into compliance, before executing the permit transfer.
If the pond is in compliance, we don't think we have any authority to make
him "fix" something that isn't "broke". It is up to the HOA and developer
to work out the details on who is going to "muck out" the pond, if that is
what they want done..
Both sides have to sign on for the transfer to take place. If the HOA
doesn't want to assume responsibility for the permit with the pond in it's
current condition, that is their choice, we can't force them to take on the
responsibility.
If the two parties want to transfer the permit, they need to workout their
differences among themselves, not dump the dispute in your lap.

*This email is a private communication and is not to be made public*.
Dear Jill:
Lots of progress being made today. RE Beachwalk- (where the developer,
Robert Weinbach, did not transfer common area to the HOA). Brian
Cheshire found that no taxes were being levied for those common areas,
but more importantly, that as of January 1, 2001, Beachwalk Development,
Inc. was still the owner, not the HOA. My letter to the developer's
attorney will include a request to produce legal documentation of the
ownership change.
Also, I was not successful in finding any statutes where it talks about
the fact that a permittee is considered responsible for compliance with
the permit until such time as it is transferred to another party or
superceded, all with the Division's full knowledge. The closest I come
is 143-215.1 (b)(4)(a), where the Commission has the power to grant a
permit with whatever conditions necessary to achieve the purposes of the
Article. If this is all we have, then Mr. Weinbach's attorney is
correct. The permit does not hold him responsible for pond maintenance
after title is transferred to the HOA. The violation of one condition
(to notify the Division and transfer the permit) is being used as an
excuse. My argument is that had we known about the transfer (as required
by the permit) we could ,have avoided this whole ugly mess, but as Mr.
biz inbach told the HOA, ;:.e had no intention of ever complying with the
permit. Maybe that qualifies as getting a permit under false pretenses.
Bradley is working on it. A draft copy of my incomplete letter will be
faxed.
RE Dawning Creek/Whispering Pines, I have drafed a letter and will fax
it to you for review.
Dan Sams has used the Sheriff's department to deliver Notices of

have altered to reflect DWQ. These will be faxed to you as well for

DearJill:
I was writing a permit and suddenly thought about the wording of that
condition. When we issue a permit, do we have to say that the permittee
is responsible for doing what the permit says until the permit transfer
is approved? For example, one of the permittees "transfers" the SW
permit to an HOA, but doesn't submit any of the documentation to the
Division. We don't know anything about it. He thinks that he doesn't
have to maintain the stormwater system because the permit doesn't
specifically say that he is responsible for maintaining the pond after a
transfer occurrs. HOWEVER, all of our permits say that the permit is not
transferable to any person until it has been approved by the Division.
Since we never approved the transfer, isn't it a simple conclusion that
the permittee is responsible for permit compliance until the permit
transfer is approved by the Division? Just a thought.

yes, it is that simple. The permittee is always responsible for compliance. The
way to become not responsible is to have the permit transferred to someone else (who
agrees to be the permittee).

WILLIAM L. HILL, II (1931-2001)
This will confirm our conversation last week regarding the issues between the
Beachwalk at Kure Beach Homeowners Association and my client, Mr. Bob Weinbach
as well as your concerns with respect to the storm water management system ("the
system") at Beachwalk. During the course of our conversation, we reviewed in detail
the demands of the HOA (many of which we believe do not pertain to the system) as
well as the demand presented by the HOA that the system be re -certified before the
HOA will agree to accept transfer of the Permit. In the course of our conversation you
advised that the pond must be re -certified in order for your office to approve transfer,
even though the pond has been certified by Mr. David Hollis.
Following our most recent conversation, I contacted Mr. Hollis to inquire as to his
availability for inspection of the system. During the course of my conversation with Mr.
Hollis we reviewed his involvement to date. The original Permit Application was
approved on September 9, 1996 and included consideration for storm water runoff from
Kure Dunes (specifically accounting for 4.5 acres at 70% impervious). Thereafter, Mr.
Hollis inspected the storm water drainage system for certification and discovered that
the system, as constructed, could not be certified due to minor deviations from the
approved plans. Working with your office, Mr. Weinbach applied for a Modification
Permit using the as -built plans. The Modification Permit was granted on April 6, 1998.
Thereafter, Mr. Hollis certified the storm water drainage system on April 13, 1998. It is
Mr. Hollis' position, based on my recent conversations with him over the last twa days,
that both the modification and storm water runoff from Kure Dunes were considered in
his certification.
As we discussed, Mr. Weinbach is prepared to incur the expense associated with
performing the tasks requested by the HOA which include:
Ms. Linda Lewis
August 6, 2002
Page 2
(1) filling a small area on the eastern bank of the drainage ditch near
the southernmost point of the drainage system and covering the
dirt with sod;
(2) sodding a roughly 90 feet by 5 feet bank on the western side of the
southernmost drainage ditch;
(3) removing sediment buildup in the drainage ditch between the
northern pond and the southern pond. Mr. Weinbach will have this
done by hand in order to minimize the effect on the landscaping of
the adjacent homes; and
(4) removal of a large amount of dirt on the common area adjacent to
the northern boundary. Following removal of the dirt,
Mr. Weinbach will grade and seed the area. The removal of dirt
has already begun.
In exchange for Mr. Weinbach completing the aforementioned tasks, he has
requested that the HOA assume transfer of the Permit. Therefore, the remaining issue
is whether the system must be re -certified in order to gain approval of your office. I ask
that you please review your file as well as the enclosed documents and provide me with
your opinion as to whether re -certification is necessary.
I have enclosed a copy of pertinent documents from my file including both the
original Application and resulting Permit dated September 9, 1996; Modification
Application and resulting Permit dated April 6, 1998; April 13, 1998 Certification; and
pertinent correspondence. I previously forwarded to your attention, via hand delivery
on April 24, 2002, a copy of the Certified As -Built Blueprints.
I sincerely appreciate your cooperation and look forward to hearing from you.

Further to my recent correspondence, this will confirm that I met with the
following individuals on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 1, 2002, to discuss concerns
raised by some of the homeowners through the Homeowners Association of Beachwalk
at Kure Beach:
Mr. Bob McKoy (Property Manager);
2. Mr. Dean Lambeth (homeowner/Board member);
3. Mr. Tim Fuller (homeowner/Board member);
4. Ms. Pat Holleman (homeowner/Board member); and
5. Mr. Rick Camilletti (homeowner/Board member).
During the course of the aforementioned meeting, I discussed concerns that
some of the homeowners have and, along with the five individuals identified above,
visually inspected the areas of concern. An agreement was reached that the
Homeowners Association will accept transfer of the stormwater permit including future
maintenance obligations if their concerns addressed. Obviously, transfer is also
contingent upon the approval by DENR.
In addition, I have enclosed a copy of the Deed transferring the common areas
to the HOA including stormwater ponds and stormwater drainage systems. It is my
understanding from Mr. Weinbach and his attorney, Mr. Ned Barnes, that the deed was
tendered to Mr. McCoy some time ago. Mr. McKoy advises that he does not have
recollection of receiving the deed.

I will be meeting with Mr. Weinbach in the near future as well as with the
appropriate representatives of the HOA in an effort to address the concerns raised in
my recent meeting and facilitate the transfer of the stormwater drainage permit. I will
keep you advised as developments occur and I ask that you please contact me during
the interim should you have any questions or if I can be of assistance in any way.

PROJ #� *8 cf(fG 5 o
In supplement to my recent correspondence of April 8, 2002, this will confirm that I
inspected the drainage system at Beachwalk at Kure Beach with Mr. Weinbach's engineer, Mr.
David Hollis, on Tuesday afternoon, April 9. In addition, Mr. Hollis provided me with a certified
copy of the plans and specifications which reflect, according to Mr. Hollis, that the grading and
drainage construction conformed with the plans and specifications. A copy of the certified plans
is attached for your review.
Mr. Hollis and I inspected the area with reference to the homeowners' allegation that
material has been stockpiled blocking the flow of drainage as alleged in your correspondence to
my attention dated March 8, 2002. Neither Mr. Hollis nor I noticed any material stockpiled which
would block the flow of drainage, however, I do note the following:
1. There is ongoing construction at Lot 23 which is being performed by Tew's
Construction. The construction consists of a two story dwelling. As noted above,
neither Mr. Hollis nor I noticed any stockpiled material that would block the flow
of water. I have highlighted Lot 23 on the plat in pink and I have enclosed
photographs for your review. (Please see photographs 1 and 2)
2. Lot I I appears to be recently graded with a fresh coat of top soil and appears to
be relatively level. There does not appear to be any effect on the storm water
drainage due to the grading of Lot 11. Lot 11 is highlighted on the plat in blue and
I have enclosed a photograph for your review. (Please see photograph 3)
3. There are three pallets of brick and cylinder block, four panels of compressed
board/plywood and a garbage "dumpster" located on Lot 74. The aforementioned
Ms. Linda Lewis
April 24, 2002
Page 2
material does not appear to be blocking the flow of drainage water. My client
does not own Lot 74. Lot 74 is highlighted in yellow and I have enclosed
photographs for your review. (Please see photographs 4, 5 and 9)
4. There are several houses being constructed north of the Beachwalk development in
the separate development, Kure Beach Village. There does not appear to be any
stockpiled material associated with this construction which is outside of the
property developed by my client.
I have also enclosed photographs of the drainage system including photographs of both
ponds. To my untrained eye, the system seems to be extremely well maintained as the grass has
been cut down to the water line in all areas. While the homeowners are apparently raising an
issue with respect to ownership of the common areas and/or maintenance of the drainage system,
it appears that maintenance to date has taken place in a very professional manner. The enclosed
photos are described as follows:
Photo 1 Construction on Lot 23.
Photo 2 Construction on Lot 23.
Photo 3 The grading on Lot 11.
Photo 4 Dumpster on Lot 74.
Photo 5 Bricks and plywood on Lot 74.

This will confirm receipt of your correspondence of March 8, 2002 addressed to ray attention
regarding ownership/compliance issues with respect to the Beachwalk @ Kure Beach under Stormwater
Project Number SWS-960518. In addition, I have reviewed a copy of your correspondence dated June
28, 2001 to our client, Mr. Bob Weinbach, as well as Mr. Bill Lynch's reply correspondence dated
August 7, 2001.
In reviewing both of your aforementioned letters, it seems the issues addressed by the Division
of Water Quality and/or DNER are limited to ownership and/or compliance as there are no allegations
in either of your letters on behalf of the Division of Water Quality and/or DENR with respect to the
drainage and grading plans. I note in your March 8, 2002 correspondence that the HOA is questioning
whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed. Mr. Weinbach contends that the
drainage and grading plans were followed as evidenced in the attached certification of Mr. David Hollis
as well as by the fact that the project was approved by the Town of Kure Beach engineer, Mr. David
Criser. I anticipate 1 will be in receipt of the approved final drainage and grading plans early this week
and we will promptly provide you with a copy.
Your correspondence of March 8, 2002, also indicates that homeowners are alleging that
stockpile material may be blocking drainage and that Mr. Weinbach performed no maintenance on the
system while he was on site. As I have not had an opportunity to make an onsite inspection with our
engineer, Mr. Davis Hollis, I a n not able to respond to tine allegation that the stockpile material may be
blocking drainage. However, Mr. Weinbach maintains that he performed maintenance on the system
while be was on site and ha.s neither caused nor contributed to material being stockpiled_
More importantly, Mr. Weinbach has authorized me to contact the homeowners you identify in
your correspondence (Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr. Deane Lambeth) in addition to the property manager, Mr.
Bob McCoy, to discuss any concerns the homeowners and/or HOA may have. In addition, I will be
meeting with Mr. Weinbach's prior attorney, Mr. Ned Barnes, to discuss the negotiations between Mr.
Weinbach and the Homeowner's Association with respect to transferring the common areas and

P.3
maintenance of the common areas. It is my understanding that a deed transfer in the common areas
(including the detention ponds) was tendered to Mr. McCoy some time ago and that the HOA has not
recorded'the Deed.
I anticipate speaking with Mr. Fuller, Mr. Lambeth, Mr. McCoy and Mr. Barnes within the next
three weeks. Further, I will be inspecting the ponds with Mr. Weinbach's engineer, Mr. Hollis, within
the same time frame. As a result, I respectfully request that the Division of Water Quality refrain from
the initiation of enforcement action until I have supplemented this correspondence which will be done
by Monday, April 29, 2002.
1 sincerely appreciate your cooperation and ask that you please contact me should you have any
questions or if I can be of assistance in any way.

This will confirm receipt of your March 8, 2002 correspondence to my attention. I have
reviewed the aforementioned correspondence with our client, Mr. Robert Weinbach, and enclosed for
your review the following documents:
1. Deed transferring ownership of the Common Area from to dated
2. Certi 5cation of the ponds by David Hollis of Hanover Design Services, P.A.; and
3. Certification from David Criser, Town Engineer for Kure Beach.
Your aforementioned correspondence of March 8, 2002 seems to address five issues which are
as follows:
l . Whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed?;
2. Who owns the Common Areas?;
3. Who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond?;
4. Whether stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and maybe keeping it from
reaching the detention pond?; and
5. Whether Mr. Weinbach performed maintenance while he was on site.
Each of the aforementioned concerns are addressed below. As stated in correspondence from
Mr. Bill Lynch to you dated August 7, 2001 our client maintains that North Carolina Planned
Community Act.(spccifically N.C.G.S. 47F-3-107) places the obligation for operating and maintaining
common facilities upon the HOA for each planned community. The statutory provision does not
require that a name/ownership change form or any pen-nanent transfer occur before the obligation of the
Ms. Linda Lewis
April 4, 2002
Page 2
HOA to operate and maintain common areas is imposed by statute. In fact, Mr. Weinbach has no right
of access over the property to perform maintenance.
Whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed? Our client
contends that the approved drainage and grading plans were followed as evidenced by
the certification of the Kure Beach Town Engineer, David Criser, a copy of which is
attached.
2. Who owns the common areas? Our client maintains that the common areas are owned
by the HOA as evidenced in the deed, a copy of which is attached hereto.
3. Who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond? Our client
maintains that the HOA is responsible for maintaining the detention pond as it is a
common area pursuant to the North Carolina Planned Community Act.
4. Whether stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and may be keeping it from
reaching the detention pond? At this point, I am not able to respond to this allegation
pending an onsite inspection. Our client has no knowledge of stockpiled material
blocking drainage and denies that he caused or contributed to any material being
stockpiled in the development.
5. Whether Mr. Weinbach performed no maintenance on the system while he was on
site? Mr. Weinbach contends that he maintained the pond in the course of the
development of the property and, in fact, made significant modifications to the pond
prior to receipt of the certificate attached hereto.
Your letter indicates that Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr. Dean Lambeth have had discussion with you
concerning the detention pond. I will be contacting both Mr. Fuller and Mr. Lambeth in the near future
to discuss any concerns that they may have. I anticipate these conversations will take place within the
next two weeks and you can expect to receive supplemental correspondence from me following those
conversations. I ask that you please diary your file ahead to May 15, 2002 in order to allow me an
Opportunity to explore the HOA's concerns. During the interim, please contact me should you have any
questions or if 1 can be of assistance in any way.
Finally, you have requested I provide you with Mr. Weinbach's address which is 5216
Treybrooke Drive, Wilmington, North Carolina 28409. I ask that you please copy me on any
correspondence sent to Mr. Weinbach as well as advise me of you or anyone associated with the
Division of Water Quality or DNER wishes to speak with Mr. Weinbach.

Dear Mr. Coleman:
Thank you for getting in touch with the Division regarding the situation at Carolina Beach Village. I am
extremely glad to know that the pond will be repaired and brought back into compliance shortly. Your client is
involved in another matter. at Beachwalk Subdivision in Kure Beach. We respectfully request that you deliver this
letter to him, since Mr. Weinbach has refused all letters from the Division in the recent past. The Division received
your August 7, 2001, fax, in response to my letter of June 28, 2001. The events I referred to in that letter are
allegations made by the homeowners. They are questioning whether the approved drainage and grading plans were
followed, who owns .the common areas, and who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond. Your
letter alleges that the common area was transferred to the HOA. If so, please provide a copy of the deeds and legal
documents that were filed. A search of the New Hanover County Tax records indicated that as of January 1, 2002,
Beachwalk Development, Inc., is still the owner of the common areas. Ifthe ownership has been changed since then,
please provide the Division with legal documentation of this transfer. If the common areas are not owned by the
HOA, the provisions of the North Carolina Planned Community Act cannot apply.
NCGS 143-215. 1 (b)(4)(a) allows the Commission to grant a permit with such conditions attached as the
Commission believes necessary to achieve the purposes ofArticle 21.On September 1,1998, Mr: RobertWeinbach,
as President of Beachwalk Development, Inc., applied for a modification to his previously issued stormwater
management permit and received a permit from the Commission to operate and maintain the detention pond at
Beachwalk. In the absence of a permit adjudication request, the Division concluded that all the terms and conditions
of the October 8, 1998, permit were satisfactory. In Section III, Part 1 of the permit, it clearly states that the permit
is not transferable and that in the event there is a desire for the facilities to change ownership, the permittee must
submit a Name/Ownership Change form and supporting documentation from the parties involved. Beachwalk
Development, Inc., remains the per.-nittee until such time as the Division approves the ownership transfer, and
reissues the permit. Mr. Weinbach did not notify the Division that a transfer of ownership had occurred, and the
permit has not been reissued to anyone else, therefore, Mr. Weinbach is the responsible party, in violation of his
permit, and subject to enforcement action.

Stormwater Permit No. SW8 960518
The issue of who is now responsible for pond maintenance is separate from the issue of Mr. Weinbach's lack
of permit compliance. Per Section II, Part 7 of the modified Stormwater Management Permit issued on October 8,
1998, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.1, I am requesting that a copy of the written maintenance records be submitted,
beginning in September, 1996, when the original permit was issued. Additionally, please provide Mr. Weinbach's
current mailing address. The homeowners have provided two addresses, one at 1901 London Lane and one at 127
Brascote Lane, both in Wilmington. The tax documents from New Hanover County indicate the mailing address
is 1009 N. Lake Park Boulevard, 4-A in Carolina Beach. The Division must be able to. contact Mr. Weinbach.
The homeowners allege that stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and may keep it from reaching
the detention pond, and that Mr. Weinbach performed no maintenance on the system while he was onsite. Mr. Tim
Fuller and Mr. Dean Lambeth both told me that Mr. Weinbach told them he did not intend to respond to any of the
Division's letters, or cooperate with the Division, or comply with any of the Division's requests regarding permit
compliance or transfer. If Mr. Weinbach is willing to address the Division' s compliance issues, the homeowners
would be more than willing to grant access to Mr. Weinbach so that he can perform any corrections to the grading
and the needed pond maintenance. The HOA could then sign the necessary documents to transfer the permit, and
Mr. Weinbach would be legally flee of the burden of permit compliance. The Division urges both Mr. Weinbach
and the HOA and come to some kind of understanding regarding their concerns. If this is not done, the Division will
consider it's options to bring closure to this issue. One of those options could be to bring actions against both Mr.
Weinbach and the HOA and let the judge decide who is responsible for what.
Please respond to this letter in writing by April 8, 2002. Failure to address these items will result in the
initiation of enforcement action. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 395-3900.

Dear Mr. Lynch:
The Division is in receipt of your August 7, 2001, fax, in response to my letter of June 28, 2001. The
events I referred to in that letter are allegations made by the homeowners. They are questioning whether the
original drainage and grading plans were followed, who owns the common areas, and who has responsibility
for maintaining the wet detention pond. If the common area was transferred to the HOA, as indicated in your
letter, please provide a copy of those deeds and legal documents. A search of the New Hanover County Tax
records indicated that as of January 1, 2001, Beachw lk Development, Inc., is the owner of the common areas.
If the ownership has been changed since then, please provide the Division with legal documentation of this
transfer. If the common areas are not owned by the HOA, the provisions of the North Carolina Planned
Community Act cannot apply.
NCGS 143-215. 1 (b)(4)(a) allows the Commission to grant a permit with such conditions attached as
the Commission believes necessary to achieve the purposes of Article 21.On September 1,1998, Mr. Robert
Weinbach, as President of Beachwalk Development, Inc., applied for a modification to his previously issued
stormwater management permit and entered into a legal agreement with the Commission to operate and
maintain the detention pond at Beachwalk. In the absence of a permit adjudication request, the Division must
conclude that all the terms and conditions of the October 8, 1998, permit were satisfactory. In two separate
places, according to the final and binding terms, the permit requires that he submit a modification and
supporting documentation from BOTH parties involved to transfer ownership. The fact that he is no longer
associated with the development is beside the point. Since the Division was not made aware that anv transfer.
of ownership had occurred, and the permit has not been superceded, Mr. Weinbach is in violation of his
permit, and is subject to enforcement action.
The issue of who is now responsible for pond maintenance is separate from the issue of Mr.
Weinbach's lack of permit compliance. Per Section II, Part 7 of the modified Stormwater Management Permit
issued on October 8, 1998, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.1, I am requesting that a copy of the written
maintenance records be submitted, beginning in September, 1996, when the original permit was issued.
Additionally, please provide Mr. Weinbach's current mailing address. As of June, 2001, the homeowners
have provided two addresses, one in Landfall at 1901 London Lane and one at 127 Brascote Lane, both in
Wilmington. The tax documents from New Hanover County indicate the mailing address is 1009 N. Lake Park
Boulevard, 4-A in Carolina Beach.
The homeowners allege that when the Kure Village p rid w c 4 sorn ,kpi ateri was
left: do site and may be blocking some drainage from reachi �the.te�ritio pond, an that `Mr: Wei ach
�.ii
performed no maintenance on the system while he was onsite. Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr. Dean Lambeth both
told me that Mr. Weinbach told them he did not intend to respond to any of the Division's letters, or cooperate
with the Division, or comply with any of the Division's requests regarding permit compliance or transfer. If
the Division' s compliance issues are addressed, the homeowners would be more than willing to grant access
to perform any corrections to the grading, to perform needed pond maintenance, and to sign the necessary
documents to transfer the permit. The Division urges Mr. Weinbach to meet with the HOA and come to some
kind of understanding regarding their concerns. If this is not done, the Division will consider it's options to
bring closure to this issue. One of those options is to bring actions against both Mr. Weinbach and the HOA
and let the judge decide who is responsible for what.
Now that a contact for Mr. Weinbach has been established, I am hereby informing him that he also
needs to address the situation at Carolina Beach Village, for which he is also the permittee, and for which
several violations and unanswered inspection reports exist. The issues there are similar to what has occurred
at Beachwalk. The project was not constructed in accordance with the approved plans, has not been certified
by the designer, and the permit has not been legally transferred to the HOA. I have attached copies of all those
letters.

Dawning Creek/Whispering Pines:
Permittee built two neighboring subdivisions several years apart. Pond certified for Dawning Creek (older
subdivision) was modified to accept drainage from Whispering Pines (new one). Owner was HOA president
for Dawning Creek and signed paperwork to allow this. The SW certification/perni t was never officially
transferred to the HOA, but all the legal transfers of common area did occur, per the covenants and
restrictions. Now, Dawning Creek wants Whispering Pines to help pay for the pond maintenance. Typical case
of a subdivision whose permittee never transferred SW permit to HOA, and never made necessary financial
arrangements to get Whispering Pines to pay for their share of maintenance. Our role? Options for HOA?
Consider new guidance for allowing offsite runoff into ponds? Documentation for establishing cost -sharing
between subdivisions.

WILLIAM L. HILL, II (1931.2001)
This will confirm receipt of your correspondence of March 8, 2002 addressed to my attention
regarding ownership/compliance issues with respect to the Beachwalk @ Kure Beach under Stonnwater
Project Number SW8-960518. In addition, I have reviewed a copy of your correspondence dated June
28, 2001 to our client, Mr. Bob Weinbach, as well as Mr. Bill Lynch's reply correspondence dated
August 7, 2001.
In reviewing both of your aforementioned letters, it seems the issues addressed by the Division
of Water Quality and/or DNER are limited to ownership and/or compliance as there are no allegations
in either of your letters on behalf of the Division of Water Quality and/or DENR with respect to the
drainage and grading plans. I note in your March 8, 2002 correspondence that the HOA is questioning
whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed. Mr. Weinbach contends that the
drainage and grading plans were followed as evidenced in the attached certification of Mr. David Hollis
as well as by the fact that the project was approved by the Town of Kure Beach engineer, Mr. David
Criser. I anticipate l will be in receipt of the approved final drainage and grading plans early this week
and we will promptly provide you with a copy.
Your correspondence of March 8, 2002, also indicates that homeowners are alleging that
stockpile material may be blocking drainage and that Mr. Weinbach perfonmed no maintenance on the
system while he was on site. As I have not had an opportunity to make an onsite inspection with our
engineer, Mr. Davis Hollis, I aln not able to respond to the allegation that the stockpile material may be
blocking drainage. ]however, Mr. Weinbach maintains that he performed maintenance on the system
while he was on site and has neither caused nor contributed to material being stockpiled.
More importantly, Mr. Weinbach has authorized me to contact the homeowners you identify in
your correspondence (Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr, Dean Lambeth) in addition to the property manager, Mr.
Bob McCoy, to discuss any concerns the homeowners and/or HOA may have. In addition, I will be
meeting with Mr. Weinbach's prior attorney, Mr. Ned Barnes, to discuss the negotiations between Mr.
Weinbach and the Homeowner's Association with respect to transfering the common areas and
PPR 08 '02 04:37PM HHJNL
P.3
maintenance of the common areas, It is my understanding that a deed transfer in the common areas
(including the detention ponds) was tendered to Mr. McCoy some time ago and that the HOA has not
recorded the Deed.
I anticipate speaking with Mr. Fuller, Mr. Lambeth, Mr. McCoy and Mr. Barnes within the next
three weeks. Further, I will be inspecting the ponds with Mr. Weinbach's engineer, Mr. Hollis, within
the same time frame. As a result, I respectfully request that the Division of Water Quality refrain from
the initiation of enforcement action until I have supplemented this correspondence which will be done
by Monday, April 29, 2002.
1 sincerely appreciate your cooperation and ask that you please contact me should you have any
questions or if I can be of assistance in any way.
Very truly yours,

RE: Beachwalk at Kure Beach - - - -
Our File 279-GEC-02
Dear Ms. Lewis:
This will confirm our conversation last week regarding the issues between the
Beachwalk at Kure Beach Homeowners Association and my client, Mr. Bob Weinbach
as well as your concerns with respect to the storm water management system ("the
system") at Beachwalk. During the course of our conversation, we reviewed in detail
the demands of the HOA (many of which we believe do not pertain to the system) as
well as the demand presented by the HOA that the system be re -certified before the
HOA will agree to accept transfer of the Permit. In the course of our conversation you
advised that the pond must be re -certified in order for your office to approve transfer,
even though the pond has been certified by Mr. David Hollis.
Following our most recent conversation, I contacted Mr. Hollis to inquire as to his
availability for inspection of the system. During the course of my conversation with Mr.
Hollis we reviewed his involvement to date. The original Permit Application was
approved on September 9, 1996 and included consideration for storm water runoff from
Kure Dunes (specifically accounting for 4.5 acres at 70% impervious). Thereafter, Mr.
Hollis inspected the storm water drainage system for certification and discovered that
the system, as constructed, could not be certified due to minor deviations from the
approved plans. Working with your office, Mr. Weinbach applied for a Modification
Permit using the as -built plans. The Modification Permit was granted on April 6, 1998.
Thereafter, Mr. Hollis certified the storm water drainage system on April 13, 1998. It is
Mr. Hollis' position, based on my recent conversations with him over the last two days,
that both the modification and storm water runoff from Kure Dunes were considered in
his certification.
As we discussed, Mr. Weinbach is prepared to incur the expense associated with
performing the tasks requested by the HOA which include:
Ms. Linda Lewis
August 6, 2002
Page 2
(1) filling a small area on the eastern bank of the drainage ditch near
the southernmost point of the drainage system and covering the
dirt with sod;
(2) sodding a roughly 90 feet by 5 feet bank on the western side of the
southernmost drainage ditch;
(3) removing sediment buildup in the drainage ditch between the
northern pond and the southern pond. Mr. Weinbach will have this
done by hand in order to minimize the effect on the landscaping of
the adjacent homes; and
(4) removal of a large amount of dirt on the common area adjacent to
the northern boundary. Following removal of the dirt,
Mr. Weinbach will grade and seed the area. The removal of dirt
has already begun.
In exchange for Mr. Weinbach completing the aforementioned tasks, he has
requested that the HOA assume transfer of the Permit. Therefore, the remaining issue
is whether the system must be re -certified in order to gain approval of your office. I ask
that you please review your file as well as the enclosed documents and provide me with
your opinion as to whether re -certification is necessary.
I have enclosed a copy of pertinent documents from my file including both the
original Application and resulting Permit dated September 9, 1996; Modification
Application and resulting Permit dated April 6, 1998; April 13, 1998 Certification; and
pertinent correspondence. I previously forwarded to your attention, via hand delivery
on April 24, 2002, a copy of the Certified As -Built Blueprints.
I sincerely appreciate your cooperation and look forward to hearing from you.

Beachwalk @Kure Beach
Stormwater Project No. SW8 960518
New Hanover County
Iam in receipt your letter of August 6, 2002, on behalf of your client, Bob Weinbach,
regarding the Beachwalk pond re -certification. After much discussion with you, the
homeowners, and input from Central Office staff, it appears to me that the homeowners main
issue revolves around the uncertainty of the pond's depth. If this is the pivotal issue, then it would
be in your client's best interest to have the pond's depth checked by a disinterested third party. A
full re -certification is not necessary, since all other permitted requirements of the pond design
have been verified as provided by the engineer prior to the most recent modification in 1998.
Once the depth is checked, and assuming it needs to be cleaned out, it will be up to Mr.
Weinbach and the homeowners to negotiate the terms for who will pay for what. Both sides need
to acknowledge their parts in creating this situation. The homeowners need to be aware that they
have enjoyed the use of this pond since 1996. Mr. Weinbach needs to remember that he violated
his permit by not submitting a formal request to the Division to transfer the permit to the HOA.
The fact that the Kure Dunes homeowners will not be contributing to the cost of maintaining the
pond that they enjoy the benefit of does not sit well, but I am here only to protect surface waters
from stormwater runoff pollution, not to negotiate a deal-Pll leave that to you. i encourage both
parties to sit down and reach a reasonable compromise rather than point fingers and assign
blame.
Due to the extended time frame that has resulted from this standoff,1 any forced to place a
time limit on reaching a compromise before I initiate additional enforcement action. Please get
this resolved prior to October 19, 2002. Ed, it has been a real pleasure dealing with you, and I
look forward to the equitable resolution of this situation in the near future. Upon satisfactory
resolution, please forward all the necessary paperwork to my office for processing.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Lewis:
Several months ago, you were gracious enough to spend some time with Mr. Dean
Lambeth and me discussing the permits for the retention ponds at Beachwalk.
Since that meeting, there has been correspondence between your office and the developer
of Beachwalk concerning transfer of the permit for the ponds. Our last conversation was
that you had referred the matter to the Attomey General's office for review and comment.
There is a Beachwalk Homeowner's Association meeting Saturday, October 20 and I
would like to be able to update the homeowner's on the status of the pond permits.
Please take a few minutes to call or fax me with the latest information mi this matter.
My phone number is 458-6900. My fax ntunber is 458-5122. If it is more convenient for
you, my e-mail address is thefullers@coastalnet.com.
Thank you for your assistance in tivs matter.

To: Bradley Bennett <Bradley.Bennett@ncmail.net>,
Jill Hickey <jhickey@mail jus.state.nc.us>
Dear Bradley:
We permitted a wet pond back in 1998. The permittee basically walked
away and left the HOA with the maintenance responsibility. No transfer
of ownership was done for the permit, but the permittee noted on the
approved plans that the HOA would be responsible for the common areas.
The lawyer for the permittee says that the NC Planned Community Act
(NCGS 47F-3-107) placed the obligation to maintain common facilites on
the HOA.
The lawyer says the statute does not require a name/ownerhip change form
or any permit transfer to occur before the HOA is obliged to operate and
maintain the common areas. He wants to know our authority to
"contravene" the Planned Community Act and where in any NCAC section
does it require a name/ownership change form to be signed by an officer
of the HOA in order for the developer to be relieved from maintenance
responsibility.
You may remember, we were having problems in the past with developers
signing as the president of the HOA, we would transfer the permit to the
HOA, but the HOA still had no idea what it had gotton into when the
developer turned over everything. We never got names changes or
transfers of ownerships. When we did an inspection and had a laundry
list of compliance issues, the HOA usually didn't have a clue that they
were responsible for the pond. In order to prevent these problems, we
issued permits only to developers, and required that the subdivison be
50% built -out, or that the developer no longer have the controlling
interest, and that an officer in the HOA sign the transfer or ownership
so we could be assured that they understood what is was they were taking
over. Our efforts to make sure our permitted faciliites are being
maintained are being questioned for their legality.

Re; Transfer of Ownership for Beachwalk Development

Dear Ms. Lewis;
I am writing in regard to your letter to Bob Weinbach of June 28, 2001. 1 would
like the following information, if it is available to you, concerning issues raised in your
letter.
The letter states that several events have occurred which require my client's
immediate attention. We would appreciate knowing to what events you are referring.
You are correct in your understanding that Mr. Weinbach is not now associated
with the project. He has sold all lots and transferred all common area, including
retention ponds, to the homeowners' association.
Your letter states that Section III, Part 1 of the permit does not allow its transfer
without completion of a name/ownership change form. We would like a copy of the
form. However, no one with the homeowners' association will agree to sign the form.
Your letter further states that until the name/ownership change form is approved,
legal responsibility for maintaining the pond remains with my client. There is nothing in
Section III, Part 1 of the permit which requires my client to be responsible for

maintenance of the pond after it has transferred title to the HOA. Indeed, he has no
right of access over their property to perform any maintenance.
The North Carolina Planned Community Act (specifically N.C.G.S. 47F-3-107)
places the obligation for operation and maintenance of common facilities upon the HOA
for each planned community, The statutory provision does not require that a name/
ownership change form or any permit transfer occur before the obligation of the HOA to
operate and maintain common areas is imposed by statute. I can find nothing in 15A
N.C.A.C. 2.1-1.1001, et sec. to contradict the Planned Community Act or to otherwise
attempt to place responsibility on a developer until any officer or other representative of
an HOA signs a name/ownership change form.
Based on the foregoing comments, my last questions are: On what authority @
can DENR contravene by regulation or permit terms the provisions of the Planned
Community Act which clearly places responsibility for pond maintenance on HOA's, and
(ii) where in Chapter 143 or any applicable provisions of the North Carolina
Administrative Code is it required that an ownership/name change form be signed by an
officer of an HOA in order for the developer to be relieved from maintenance
responsibility.
Please cull if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
William 0, J. Lynch

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Robert Weinbach
127 Brascote Lane
Wilmington, NC 28412
Subject: Transfer of Ownership for
Beachwalk Development
Stormwater Permit No. SW8 960518
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Weinbach:
On October 8, 1998, the Division of Water Quality issued you a modified Stormwater Management Permit
for the development known as Beachwalk @Kure Beach. The modification was issued to allow for the runoff from
Inure Dunes to be treated in the wet detention pond approved for Beachwalk. Since 'that time, several events have
occurred which. require your immediate attention.
It is my understanding that you are no'longer associated with this project. Per the requirements of Section
III, Part 1 of your permit, a name/ownership change form must be completed and submitted along with other
supporting documentation in order to transfer the permit and maintenance responsibility to the Homeowner's
Association. Until this is done, you will remain legally responsible for maintaining the pond and the project in
compliance with the permit conditions.
The Division is requesting that you meet with the HOA and resolve any outstanding issues with them,
complete the appropriate form to transfer the permit and submit it along with the required supporting documentation.
Once the site is determined to be compliance, the permit will be transferred. Please respond to this letter by July
28, 2.001. Failure to respond by the due date will result in the initiation of enforcement action, which may include
recommendations for the assessment of civil penalties, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 395-3900.
Sincerely,
41tl 4"
