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 29, 2019, 1 have determined that the activity you propose is exempt From needing a minor development permit as
long as it is installed in accordance with the attached specifications, and meets the conditions specified below. If your
plans should change and your project will no longer meet these conditions, please contact me before proceeding.
