the necessary filing of an application for a minor development permit under the

development permit as long as it is installed in accordance with your site drawing,
submitted on 7/20/2009, 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.

dunes by trapping wind blown sand; the protection of the dune(s) and
