Dear Sir or Madam:
I have reviewed the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning the necessary filing of an
application for a minor development pennit under the Coastal Area Management Act. After making a site inspKW on
December 14, 2016, 1 have determined that the activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor deveiopnrerlt
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 pmoeei#np:
