Dear Mr. Perozzi:
I have reviewed the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning the necessary filing of an application for a
minor development permit under the Coastal Area Management Act. After making a site inspection on March 30, 2011, I have
determined that the activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor development permit as long as it is installed in accordance
with your site drawing,submitted on March 21, 2011,and meets the conditions specified below. If you plans should change and your
project will no longer meet these conditions, please contact me before proceeding.
