The McLeod Family retained private access to the property from the terminus of Ocean Boulevard as described in Deed Book 621, Page 186 and the terminus of both public streets Inlet Drive and Shore Line Drive. - The property is presently zoned C-4 (Conservation) with minimum lot width of 50 feet, a minimum lot area of 3 acres, minimum front setback of 20 feet, minimum side setback of 5 feet and minimum rear setback of 20 feet. ‘The present uses allowed with the Conservation zone are beach and pedestrian water access walkways. ‘The current land use plan classifies this area as “Conservation with Limited Residential”. ‘The property does lie within the Inlet Hazard Area: The Flood Zones forthe property are “VE” with base flood elevation of 13° to 17". The property does rest within the CBRA zone and is not eligible for Federal Flood Insurance as of October 1, 1983. Y os This request is to conditionally rezone 16.905 acres of 149.861 acres of Conservation (C-4) to PRD-2. This 16.905-acre parcel does lie relatively within the center of the entire tract. This rezone request does not include any land within the Public Trust area adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean or Banks Channel. ~—, Proposed Uses: Six Family Homes Swimming Pool with Cabana Maintenance Building/Garage Beach Shelter Gazebo and Uncovered Deck Elevated Wood Walkway with Beach Access Proposed septic systems to accommodate the dwellings. All proposed structures are illustrated and dimensioned on the master site plan. Proposed 30” ingress, egress, regress, drainage, and utility easement to cross the property commencing at the Ocean Boulevard road right-of-way easement titled in the name of Town of Topsail Beach and traverse across the property to the 16.905-acre development parcel and continue to Banks Channel Proposed access driveway to be 20° wide pervious gravel built to handle Fire Apparatus to lie within Easement.

Wetlands have been delineated and the proposed rezone and proposed improvements do not rest within or impact these wetlands, ‘The residential and nonresidential uses have been listed within this narrative and on the master site plan including the number of units, maximum height, and general location. This is a low density, low impact development with only six family dwellings, therefore traffic calculations have not been considered. Fencing will be installed surrounding the improvements as shown on the Master Site Plan. Landscaping is proposed along the south, north and east zone line. ‘ The intent is phasing the development over several years with a portion of the development to be constructed by the future generation of the Olson Family. ‘No proposed signage for the property with the exception of street address on Ocean Boulevard and possibly a small sign adjacent to the proposed gate naming their property as most beach homes do on Topsail Island. Current zoning of the property is Conservation (C-4) and the current land use plan classifies this property as “Conservation with Limited Residential”. This rezone is considered a low density, low impact development based on numerous factors. The impervious surface of the proposed development is approximately one acre or 6.1% of the 16.905 Acre Tract or 0.6% of the 149.861 Acre tract. The proposed access driveways will be pervious. No wetlands are to be impacted. The remaining 132.955 acres will remain conservation. The Public Trust areas adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and Banks Channel will not altered.

(3) Public input Meeting Required. a. Prior to the planning board meeting on the conditional rezoning application, tthe applicant must conduct one (1) public input meeting and file a report of the results with the zoning administrator. b. The staff report for the planning board meeting will include a summary of the public input meeting, ‘The applicant shall mail a notice for the public input meeting to the owners of all properties located within 500 feet of the perimeter of the project bounds not less than 30 days prior to the scheduled meeting.

A copy of the letter announcing the meeting ii. A list of adjoining property owners contacted ill, Anattendance roster iv. Asummary of the issues discussed v._ The results of the meeting including changes to the project's proposal, if any. (4) Review approval criteria for conditional rezoning. When evaluating an application {for the establishment of a conditional zoning district, the planning board and board of commissioners shall consider the following The criteria set forth in Sections 16-60(b) through (c) for zoning map amendments as applicable to the specific body considering the amendment. That the maximum height limit for the conditional zoning district will not exceed thirty-eight (38) feet, plus a freeboard limit of three (3) feet, where applicable, as measured by the vertical distance from the mean adjacent elevation at the building site to the highest peak of the roof.

That sufficient guarantee is in place or can be made that any off-site impacts generated by the proposed project shall be mitigated appropriately at the time the need for the mitigating action is generated. (5) Conditions to approval of petition. In approving a petition for the reclassification of property to a conditional zoning district, the zoning administrator or planning board may recommend, and the board of commissioners may request that the applicant add reasonable and appropriate conditions to the approval of the application. If ‘the applicant and the board of commissioners both do not explicitly accept ‘these conditions, then the board of commissioners may (1) approve the conditional rezoning application without the conditions not expressly agreed to by both parties, or (2) deny the application. All conditions placed on the property must be consented to by the applicant in writing. Conditions and site-specific standards imposed in a conditional zoning district shall be limited to those that address the conformance of the development and use of the site to local government ordinances, any applicable land use or comprehensive plans, or the impacts reasonably expected to be generated by the development or use of the site. Unless consented to in writing by the applicant, neither the planning board nor the board of commissioners may require, enforce, or incorporate into the zoning regulations any condition or requirement not authorized by otherwise applicable law, including, without limitation, taxes, impact fees, building design elements within the scope of G.S. 1600-7021), driveway- related improvements in excess of those allowed in G.S. 136-18(29) and GS. 1604-307, or otherwise unauthorized limitations on the development or use of land. !Ffor any reason any condition for approval is found to be illegal or invalid by a court of law following approval, the conditional rezoning shall be considered null and void. The applicable property owner may then petition to rezone the property to a different conditional use district or other base district in accordance with this chapter. If the owner of the property does not petition to rezone the property, the zoning administrator shall institute proceedings to rezone the property to another appropriate base district zoning classification. The zoning administrator will use appropriate judgment when recommending which properties be reassigned to which base districts. if a rezoning is instituted by the zoning administrator in accordance with this subsection, the subsequent rezoning decision may result in the creation of nonconformities, which shall be the responsibilty of ‘the property owner to rectify at such time and in such manner as set forth in Section 16-97 of this chapter. (6) Effect of approval Once a conditional rezoning is approved, the development and use of the property shall be governed by the established standards for the district, the approved master development plan for the district, and any additional approved conditions, all of which shall constitute the zoning regulations for the approved district and are binding on the property as an amendment to this ordinance and to the zoning maps. Following the approval of the petition for @ conditional zoning district, the subject property shall be identified on the zoning maps by the district designation “C2” and a unique, consecutive numerical identifier (for example, the fifteenth conditional zoning district established in the town would be labeled "CZ-15"), The unique numerical identifier will reference the approved ordinance and master development plan that established the zoning district. Since each CZ district represents a newly created zoning district, the approved master development plan, district standards, and conditions shall be maintained in Appendix B to this Ordinance. d. The approved master development plan may substitute for an approved plot plan, major site plan, minor subdivision plat, or major sub preliminary plat if itis specifically reviewed and approved as such during the application process for the CZ district. fe. The approved master development plan qualifies asa site-specific vesting plan establishing a vested right if requested by the applicant and processed pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 16-61. Notwithstanding the above, an approved master development plan may also qualify as a multi- phased development for the purposes of establishing a vested right in accordance with G.S. 1600-108. No permit shall be issued for any development activity within a conditional Zoning district except in accordance with the approved petition and master development plan for the district. Any violation of the approved master development plan or conditions for the district shall be treated the same as any other violation of this chapter and shall be subject to the same remedies and penalties as any such Violation. (7) Subsequent changes to conditional zoning district. a. Major changes. Major changes to an approved master development plan may be authorized only by the board of commissioners after review and recommendation by the planning board in the same manner as that of a zoning map amendment. Major changes include, but are not limited to: i. Change in use. li. Any increase or decrease in development density; such as, increase/dectease in density of units, whether residential, office, commercial or industrial; an increase/decrease in number of off- street parking or loading spaces; or, an increase/decrease in impervious surface area, il, An increase in overall ground coverage by structures. iv. A change in any site dimension by more than ten percent. v. Areduction in approved open space or screening. Vi. A change in access and internal circulation design. b.

We are in receipt of the Notice of Public Input Meeting (“Notice”) regarding the “Conditional Rezoning of a 37-acre portion of the 150-acre tract presently owned by McLeod Family, LLC, Pender County Tax Number 4201-59-8862-0000. Please accept this letter as seeking additional information and in opposition to the request. As set forth in the Notice, the Conditional Rezoning would include: Construction of pervious access roads with approximately eight single family dwellings built to both Town Code and FEMA regulations, various garages/maintenance buildings, swimming pools, and associated decking, gazebos, beach pavilion, beach access walkway, sound side cottage and sound pier with nine boat lifts. ‘The Notice does not include the proposed plan(s) regarding the proposed rezoning. as set forth in the Pender County Unified Development Ordinance, Conditional Rezoning (see Section 3.3.9.B), “is intended for a development that has a high level of certainty of being constructed and the most commonly expected application will contain a specified use or uses, permitted by right or special use, accompanied by a plan showing proof of concept, and typically including the spatial relation of uses and site elements.” See Section 3.3.9.B.1. It is our understanding that, at this time, Mr. Todd Olson has not yet submitted proposed plan(s). Absent same, the within opposition is limited to the statements contained within the Notice. We reserve the right to submit additional comments and challenges to same upon review of the proposed plan(s). ‘As it relates to the proposed and/or potential rezoning, the “Review Approval Criteria for Conditional Rezoning” include: 3) Review Approval Criteria for Conditional Rezoning a) When evaluating an application for the establishment of a conditional zoning district, the reviewing bodies shall consider the following: i) The Approval Criteria for a Rezoning (Section 3.3.5). ' The reviewing bodies (Planning Board and Board of Commissioners) shall consider the following matters in deciding a rezoning proposal, in addition to any other considerations as detailed in the specific rezoning application ‘ype: ii) That the application meets the intent of a conditional rezoning, per this subsection. That the contents of the application are complete, sufficient, and recorded appropriately either as conditions of approval or on the associated site plan or preliminary plat, and that the appropriate procedures have been followed. iv) The potential impacts and/or benefits on the surrounding area and adjoining properties. v) The report of results from the public input meeting. vi) That sufficient guarantee is in place or can be made that any off-site impacts generated by the proposed project shall be mitigated appropriately at the time the need for the mitigating action is generated. ‘See Pender County Unified Development Ordinance, Section 3.3.3.9.B.3, In assessing Section 3.3.5"s factors for consideration, the rezoning cannot satisfy the requirements enumerated therein. By way of example only, rezoning of the area would be detrimental to the natural environment. Currently, the “southernmost point of Topsail Island”, as described in the Notice, is a sanctuary for various coastal birds. The rezoning of even a portion of that tract would detrimentally impact their habitat and environment. Furthermore, redevelopment of the proposed area, including, but not limited to, pervious coverage, access walkway(s), and piers would adversely affect the health, safety, and welfare of residents in the area as well as be detrimental to the use and development of adjacent property. The current location provides a “buffer” to the annual hurricane and storm surges, offering both protections and . By disturbing the landscape, putting in pervious coverage and various piers, there will be an increased risk of storm surge and water/flooding damage on all houses located in the vicinity. ‘A. Whether the entire range of uses permitted by the proposed change would be appropriate tothe area concerned, including that the proposed rezoning not: 1) be detrimental to the natural environment, 2) adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of residents or workers in the area, 3) be detrimental to the use or development of adjacent property, 4) materially or adversely affect the character of the general neighborhood, and 5) be reasonable as it relates tothe public interest. Pender County UDO 3.7 Article 3 — Review Procedures 1B. Whether adequate public facilties/services («.- water, wastewater, roads, schools, et.) exist, are planned, or can bbe reasonably provided to serve the needs of any permitted uses likely to be constructed as a result of such change; C. Whether the proposed change is consistent with the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, CAMA Land Use Pan, and any other adopted land use document. Finally, the proposed rezoning would materially and adversely affect the character of the general neighborhood, which, at present, is a HOA community with single family dwellings. Since no proposed plan(s) have been produced, there is no indication as to where any of these improvements would be constructed. It is highly probable that these dwellings would not fit within the current neighborhood, As set forth above, there are numerous factors to be considered that would be negatively impacted if the conditional rezoning were to be applied for. Accordingly, please accept this letter ‘as opposition to the “considered” conditional rezoning. Upon production of the proposed plan(s), and the ability to review same, we will submit any additional comments regarding same.

Logan Charles Rigg From: john alderson Sent: Monday, October 10, 2022 2:03 PM To: Charles Riggs Subject: Proposed Development South end of Topsail island Attachments: NC Coastal Federation McLeod-Tract-Report-10.8.19,paf Dear Mr. ‘As homeowners at 2115 Shoreline Drive, Topsail Beach, we are writing to you to express our concerns about the recently approved Conditional Zoning and the proposed development for the south end of Topsail Island by Mr. Tod Olson, We have been coming to the south end of Topsail Beach with family and friends for over 30 years, and bought our home in 2019. It appears that the recently approved Conditional Zoning was created to allow for the development of the south end of the island by Mr. Todd Olsen who is interested in building a ‘family compound’ with multiple homes, other buildings, and sound pier with nine boat lifts on 37 acres, according to a letter we received from Charles Riggs and reported in area news outlets. ‘As you know, the development of the south end of the Island has been a concern for decades because itis a beautiful, undeveloped and environmentally sensitive area that is enjoyed by thousands of people each year, home to endangered birds, sea turtles and other fish and wildlife and serves as a natural storm protection area as well. The Town itself designates this as a Conservation Area, and says the purpose of the Conservation District is to preserve and protect this area which currently prohibits development and is not zoned for residential development. Other federal and North Carolina regulations apply to the south-end of the island as well, Our first concern is that only neighbors within 500 feet of the proposed development were notified of the public input hearing on October 23", and we believe itis essential that you and Town officials more broadly share the information about this proposal which has huge public impact and interest for all of Topsail Istand and vacationers who come to the Island every year. Many of our neighbors had no idea this meeting was happening and want to share their concerns with you. (ur second concern and question is whether the new Conditional Zoning if allowed for this area would actually super cede all of the current federal, state and local zoning and regulations that now apply to the end of the Island. if that is true, how does the proposed developer justify that in the face of the Town’s vision for Topsail Island, land use planning, future development goals, and broad public interest in this most special part of our island? The NC Coastal Federation in a document from October 2019 (attached), raised many issues about the potential impediment to the development of the property as a result of local, state, and federal designations that need to be addressed by the town. It simply states, that the McLeod tract Is not zoned for development (hence our question about whether the town just agreed to allow for development); ‘+ Islocated within an Inlet Hazard Area; {snot eligible for public utilities nor federal insurance; and ‘+ development is not compatible with the Town of Topsail Beach's zoning ordinances or CAMA Core Land Use Plan. ‘This area is environmentally sensitive and ever changing...each new hurricane and storm causes flooding and dune erosion. Any development is this area would damage this fragile area, destroy dunes and wetlands and contribute to the degradation of the south end of the island. We hope that you will address all of the concerns raised by the NC Coastal Federation and tell us specifically how this proposed development will meet the federal, state and local regulations and continue to ensure the preservation and protection of Topsail Beach and all of its residents. {Im an ideal world, we like many others, would like to see this end of the island preserved and protected in some form of Public trust and not developed so that future generations could continue to enjoy the island. We believe it is incumbent for the Town to ensure a process, planning and regulations that favor the long-term goals over the short-term personal and private interests of one family. Surely, together, we can find a more favorable solution to preserve and protect Topsail Island. Thank you for your consideration of the issues we raised in this letter, We look forward to hearing from you and plan on attending the October 25" meeting.

The property is owned by the McLeod Family LLC. Residents of Topsail Island, in addition to the general public and regional conservation groups have expressed interest in the protection of this land. Potential impediments to the development of the property as a result of local, state and federal designations are described below. Most simply stated, the McLeod Tract: 1) is not zoned for development; 2) is located within an Inlet Hazard Area; 3) is located within a Coastal Barrier Resources Act unit; 4) is not eligible for public utilities nor federal flood insurance; and 5) development is not compatible with the Town of Topsail Beach's zoning ordinances or CAMA Core Land Use Plan. Public acquisition of the McLeod Tract is consistent with Town policies that encourage protection of land parcels with high resource value and should be fully explored. 1Local policies 1.1 Town of Topsail Beach Land Development Code ‘The Topsail Beach zoning ordinance contains three designations of land use referred to as “Conservation Areas. ‘” These include C-1 Ocean Front, C-2 Sound Side, and C-4 Inlet Area (Figure 1). The C-4 Inlet Area is an undeveloped parcel of land that abuts New Topsail Inlet, and lies between Topsail Sound, the Atlantic Ocean, and the area locally known as Serenity Point. The area includes land that is designated as an inlet hazard area, and includes public trust beaches on both the ocean side and the sound side that are important public trust recreation areas, The purpose of this district is to preserve and protect the areas of environmental concern as identified by G.S. 113A-113 and 15A NCAC 07H .0200 and 07H .0300. The C-4 district is identified as all land included in the inlet hazard area and that is not zoned for residential use (Ord. No. 2019-001, 1-9-2019).

Town of Topsail Beach Future Land Use Plan Compatibility Matrix. The McLeod Tract is zoned C-4, wherein development isnot allowed. 1.2 Town of Topsail Beach CAMA Core Land Use Plan Topsail Beach town policy is to preserve, protect, and enhance the area’s natural resources. The Town works to pursue protection of these resources in a regional context, with neighboring jurisdictions, and with area-wide planning through a process which favors long-term goals over short term interests. Town policy is to support resource protection North Carolina Coastal Federation efforts and to encourage the acquisition of land parcels with a high resource value by the State of North Carolina or area conservation organizations or land trusts.? The Town acknowledges expected growth within the planning period and believes in managing and directing this growth. As such, within the Policies for Growth and Development section of the land use plan, it is policy that development within the Town should be based on: 1) the suitability of land to accommodate the use; 2) the capacity of the environment; 3) compatibility with Town goals and ordinances; 4) densities allowable in sensitive areas; and 5) the availability of support facilities and services. Further, Part 4 of the Coastal Area Management Act states: no permit shall be issued for development which is inconsistent with the approved land-use plan for the county in which itis proposed. No local ordinance or other local regulation shall be adopted which, within an area of environmental concern, is inconsistent with the land-use plan of the county or city in which itis effective; any existing local ordinances and regulations within areas of environmental concern shall be reviewed in light of the applicable local land-use plan and modified as may be necessary to make them consistent therewith, All local ordinances and other local regulations affecting a county within the coastal area, but not affecting an area of environmental concern, shall be reviewed by the Commission for consistency with the applicable county and city land-use plans and, if the Commission finds any such ordinance or regulation to be inconsistent with the applicable land-use plan, it shall transmit recommendations for modification to the adopting local government (§ 113-111) 1.3 Future land use goals The future land use goals of the Town are representative of the Town's vision for future growth and development. Specific goals and policies applicable to assessing the value and development potential for the McLeod Tract are listed here: 1 Public Access Goal: to increase and enhance public access opportunity to the ocean and sound waters of Topsail Beach. Providing Public Access & Meeting Federal Standards — It is the policy of Topsail Beach to continue to provide access to public trust waters through the acquisition, development, and redevelopment of beach and sound access areas, parks, and boat launching areas. This development and redevelopment activity shall be consistent with the need to protect the areas natural resources. Topsail Beach will, in the future, seek financial assistance from state and federal sources to support the development, and/or expansion, of parks and recreational facilities in appropriately sited locations. *nep:/ /www.topsailbeach.org/Portals/0/Planning%20and%20Zoning/Topsail_ Beach 9620CAMA_LUP.9_16 2015paf * hups:/www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/StatutevHTML/ByAnticleiChapter_113A/Article_7.html North Carolina Coastal Federation and Use Compatibility Goal: To ensure that development and use of resources or preservation of land minimizes direct and secondary environmental impact, avoids risks to public health, safety and welfare and is consistent with the capability of the land based on considerations of interactions of natural and man-made features. Development Must Be Consistent with Existing Regulations — As a means of controlling any inappropriate or damaging development activities within AEC’ the Coastal Area Management Act calls upon the CRC, in cooperation with coastal local governments, to implement a permitting program. The intent of this program isnot to stop development but rather to ensure the compatibility of development with the continued productivity and value of critical coastal land and water areas. These areas are defined as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's). The Town of Topsail Beach endorses this permitting system as a means of managing and protecting the coastal resources of North Carolina. ‘Natural Hazards Areas Goal: to conserve and maintain barrier dunes, beaches, flood plains, and other coastal features for their natural storm protection functions and their natural resources giving recognition to public health, safety, and welfare. Acquisition of Parcels of Land in Hazardous Locations — It is the policy of the Town of Topsail Beach to consider acquisition of parcels located within hazard areas or rendered unbuildable by storms or other events for the purpose of recreation or public access. Developers may also be required to provide such Properties as open space under circumstances related to the issuance of a conditional use permit or as a part of the subdivision approval process. Policy of the Location of Growth Inducing Public Facilities — It is Topsail Beach Town policy that the development of growth-inducing public facilities such as sewers, water lines, roads, bridges, and erosion control measures occurs in cases where: a) national, state, or local interest, and public benefits are overriding factors; b) facilities would not exacerbate existing hazards or damage natural buffers; and c) facilities would be reasonably safe from flood and erosion control related damage. Water Quality Goal: to maintain, protect and where possible, enhance water quality in Topsail Sound, coastal wetlands, creeks, streams, and estuaries. Policies contained within this goal include Protect Public Trust Uses — It is the policy of Topsail Beach to mitigate degradation of area water quality and to prevent the loss of public trust uses on the oceanfront and on the sound side beaches and in the waters of Topsail Sound. Acquisition of Buffers — The Town policy is to pursue Clean Water Management Trust Fund grants and other available funding sources for the acquisition of land North Carolina Coastal Federation bordering the ocean or sound/inlet beaches so as to protect water quality and to provide for public recreational access. 14 Implications for development ‘The 110-acre tract, herein referred to the “McLeod Tract,” is wholly contained within the C- 4 Inlet Area zoning district. Per Town zoning ordinances and the Future Land Use Plan Compatibility Matrix found within the Town's land use plan, current and future zoning prohibits development within this district. Additionally, the matrix notes that the category labeled “Conservation” shall be limited to essential public facilities, with no commercial or residential structures.* Further, the Coastal Area Management Act excludes a CAMA permit from being issued if it allows development that is inconsistent with local development ordinances. Itis important to note that this land use plan recommends no zoning changes.5 The Town of Topsail Beach is an established small town with spatial patterns of development already established. The Future Land Use Map shows development patterns which are not greatly different from the Existing Land Use Map nor the current Town of Topsail Beach Zoning Map (Figure 2).6 Through its policies as described in the land use plan, the Town of Topsail Beach is unwavering in their vision for the Town, which includes no foreseen zoning changes. Ina questionnaire administered to Town residents and included in the 2015 land use plan,” 91% of residents believe the Town should continue its’ efforts to preserve the character of the town; 81% believe local officials should regulate the character and location of new development in order to protect nearby property values and broad community interests; and 73% believe the Town should not encourage residential development that would disturb existing sand dunes. Based on these results, development of the McLeod Tract is not harmonious with overall Town vision. Future land use goals, as described above, prioritize public beach access, land use compatibility, protections for natural hazard areas, and local water quality. The McLeod ‘Tract is located within an AEC and provides natural storm protection to the area. Protection of this land not only prevents future damage to the property itself, but also functions to protect greater town resources by acting as a natural buffer. Development on the McLeod Tract could easily exacerbate existing hazards, especially in the wake of an increasing number of severe storms afflicting the North Carolina coast. “http://www topsailbeach.org/Portals/0/Planning%20and%20Zoning/Topsail_ Beach 9620CAMA_LUP.9_16 2015 pdf 5 Consistency between Land Use Plan Policy & Future Land Use Map; 2015 CAMA Land Use Plan ‘htp:/ /wwwtopsailbeach.org/Portals/0/Planning%20and%20Zoning/2019-06- 05.78 Zoning Map pdf’ver=2019-08-19-120048-307 http://www topsailbeach.org/Portals/0/Planning%20and%20Zoning/Topsail, Beach.9620CAMALUP.9_16 -2015.pat North Carolina Coastal Federation Zoning Map. Topsail Beach, ~~ North Carolina Figure 2. Southern portion of Topsail Beach Zoning Map. The McLeod Tract (in green) is shown as C-4: Conservation District - Inlet Area 2. State regulations 211 Inlet Hazard Areas Ocean hazard Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) are so named because these areas are considered by the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) to be natural hazard areas along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline where, because of their special vulnerability to erosion or other adverse effects of sand, wind, and water, uncontrolled or incompatible development could unreasonably endanger life or property. Ocean hazard areas include: the ocean erodible area, the high hazard flood area, the inlet hazard area, and the un-vegetated beach area. ‘The inlet hazard areas (IHA's) are natural-hazard areas that are especially vulnerable to erosion, flooding and other adverse effects of sand, wind, and water because of their proximity to dynamic ocean inlets. This area extends landward from the mean low water line a distance sufficient to encompass that area within which the inlet shall migrate, based on statistical analysis, and shall consider such factors as previous inlet territory, structurally weak areas near the inlet, and external influences such as jetties and channelization. In all cases, the IHA shall be an extension of the adjacent ocean erodible areas and in no case shall the width of the inlet hazard area be less than the width of the adjacent ocean erodible area *15A NCAC 07H 0304 North Carolina Coastal Federation Per North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), development within IHA’s shall be permitted in accordance with the following standards: 1) All development in the inlet hazard area shall be set back from the first line of stable natural vegetation a distance equal to the setback required in the adjacent ocean hazard area; 2) Permanent structures shall be permitted at a density of no more than one commercial or residential unit per 15,000 square feet of land area on lots subdivided or created after July 23, 1981; 3) Only residential structures of four units or less or non-residential structures of less than 5,000 square feet total floor area shall be allowed within the inlet hazard area, except that access roads to those areas and maintenance and replacement of existing bridges shall be allowed; 4) Established common-law and statutory public rights of access to the public trust lands and waters in Inlet Hazard Areas shall not be eliminated or restricted. Development shall not encroach upon public access ways nor shall it limit the intended use of the access ways? Further, no development shall be allowed in any AEC which would result in a contravention or violation of any rules, regulations, or laws of the State of North Carolina or of local government in which the development takes place.!0 2.2 Coastal Resources Commission Science Panel In Science Panel Recommendations presented to the CRC in February 2019, the panel worked to develop inlet shoreline change rate calculation methodology and re-evaluate points along the oceanfront shoreline where inlet processes are the dominant influence over shoreline position. They found New Topsail Inlet’s rapid migration results in a reduction of risk on the north side as the inlet moves south. Since a migration reversal is unlikely, in such cases itis recommended to limit the inlet analysis to the most recent 30 years. For the Topsail Beach side of New Topsail Inlet, the computation of the Hybrid-Vegetation Line used the full record (1971-2016) on the oceanfront but was limited to an approximate 30-year data record (1984-2016) within the inlet. Because of the rapid migration, the inlet Hybrid- Vegetation Line is defined by one date, the 1984 vegetation line (Figure 3). Itis recommended that this 30-year adjustment should be reevaluated during each IHA update. Ifthe inlet continues to migrate, the [HA should move south with the inlet. Using the IHAM, the standard deviation suggests that inlet influence extends to transect-27. However, in order to include the area most prone to erosion hazards associated with storm-enhanced inlet processes, transect-42 is recommended as the [HA boundary. From transect-42, the boundary extends landward, north of the canal at Trout Avenue to Topsail Sound connecting with the back boundary of the current IHA (Figure 4). °15A NCAC 07H 0310 © 15A NCAC 07H 0601 ‘nttps://files.nc gov/ncdeq/Coastal%20Management/GIS/2019_Inlet Hazard Area Boundary Update_2019 o212pdr
