Sarah, thanks for the outreach. I have attached the completed document. There is nowhere to list the concerns so I have
included the list below.
• The paperwork indicates a 38' linear buckhead is to be built, when I measure off the existing bulkhead this
appears to place the bulkhead on my property.
• Will a survey be completed for this work?
• Not sure of the completed design, if I sign off on the 15' waiver they can build any size deck up to and right at
our property line. This should be spelled out.
• 1 fear they will be transferring their erosion problem onto my property, I do not currently have any issues due to
the natural slope into the water. Who is responsible once the erosion starts at the end of the bulkheading?
• 1 am curious how this project will be completed, there is not much access to get equipment into the back yard
without proceeding onto our property. I currently have concerns with that approach.
Thanks, Dane

Good afternoon Dane,
We have received the necessary paperwork requesting a CAMA general permit for a bulkhead on the property
adjacent to yours (104 Clipper Court) and the request is currently under review. In the paperwork that was originally
mailed to you by the contractor, there was an Adjacent Riparian Property Owner Notification Form. I also attached a
copy of the form to this email for your reference. Please complete and return the form indicating if an objection still
exists. If an objection exists, please also include a written explanation of your concerns. These written concerns will be
addressed by myself and the district manager as part of the review process.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please let me know if you have additional questions at this time.
Take care and talk to you soon.
