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 September 20, 2005,1 have determined that the activity you propose is exempt from
needing a minor development permit as long as it is installed in accordance with your site drawing, submitted
on September 22, 2005, 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.
