At it’s August 2004 meeting, the CRC:
- Voted to change the
days of regular CRC and CRAC meetings from Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. The change will begin with the January 2005 meeting.
- Voted to include
standard permit conditions for variances from the CRC’s coastal shoreline buffer rule
whenever those variances are granted on the condition that a stormwater management system
will be installed on the property. The Final Order for such permits would include four
stipulations designed to establish a minimum design standard for stormwater systems and
ensure their continued maintenance by current and future property owners.
- Voted to postpone for
one year a request by Oak Island for the calculation and establishment of an alternative
vegetation line in areas affected by both beach nourishment and storm damage.
- Voted to devote the
first day of the Commission’s October 2004 meeting to discussion of the Coastal
Habitat Protection Plan recommendations.
- Denied a variance to
Louis Wetmore of Bald Head Island, who sought permission to exceed the allowable height
for a sandbag structure by three feet. The CRC’s sandbag rules limit the height of
sandbags to six feet.
- Granted a variance to
Richard L. Vanstory Sr. of Brunswick County, who sought relief from the coastal shoreline buffer
rules to build a new residence in Ocean Isle Beach. Mr. Vanstory will address
buffer issues by installing an engineer-designed stormwater management system. As a
condition of the variance, the minor permit will include conditions designed to establish
a minimum design standard for the stormwater management system and ensure its continued
maintenance by current and future property owners.
- Granted a variance to the Town of Belville,
which sought relief from the CRC’s rule prohibiting navigation channels in Primary
Nursery Areas in order to dredge a 30' by 300' access channel from a public boat ramp to
the Brunswick River. Petitioner will be permitted to construct a channel up to 60 feet
wide, as outlined in the original permit request. The Town will still need to receive
federal authorization for this project.
