- Making all necessary inspections
- Issuing certificates of compliance
- Distributing orders to correct code violations
- Ability to bring judicial actions against violators
In September, 1977, the Town Council voted unanimously to adopt the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Implementation and Enforcement Plan. This plan established procedures to follow relating to issuance of minor development permits in areas of environmental concern along with methods of identifying and taking into account projects and impacts of regional, state and national concern. The plan also introduced procedures to ensure that the CAMA program was consistent with the approved Land Use Plan for Kure Beach.
In addition to our Building Inspector executing the above duties, they are the local CAMA permit officer designated by the Division of Coastal Management.
