Good Afternoon Mr. Allen:
I have reviewed all of the submitted applications that I have received and wanted to bring up some points / issues with
the applications:
1. Location maps are inadequate to find the property from. Additionally, driving directions would be helpful.
2. No plan view to clearly identify the location on the property where the work would be occurring.
These two items should be submitted as addendums to the previously submitted applications.
Project specific comments for individual applications:
• Jim McNatt (90 Redbird Circle)
o Stated purpose is to install 130 linear feet of seawall. On-site inspection shows an existing seawall is
already in place, and while maintenance is necessary, replacement is not needed. Please explain why a
new wall is necessary.
• McNatt Family (102 Redbird Circle)
o Stated purpose is to install 143 linear feet of seawall. Trout Buffer has already been cleared, and
shoreline has been disturbed with mechanized equipment. Rip-rap is already in place, and there does
not appear to be an erosion problem. Please explain why a new wall is necessary.
• Stephen and Margaret Dana (2912 West Club Blvd)
o Stated purpose does not identify linear footage of sea wall to be constructed. There is an existing
seawall already in place, and while maintenance is necessary, replacement is not needed. Please explain
why a new wall is necessary.
• Dale Harmon (2924 West Club Blvd)
o Application lacks stated description of seawall work to be performed (B. 3. e.). There is an existing
seawall in place, and while repairs / maintenance is necessary, replacement is not needed. Please
explain why a new wall is necessary.
• Bobby and Dell Rearden (3432 West Club Blvd)
o Application lacks stated description of seawall work to be performed (B. 3. e:). There is an existing
I 0 I seawall in place, and while repairs / maintenance is necessary, replacement is not needed. Please
explain why a new wall is necessary.
o Excavation is stated in project description, but location of excavation has not been identified.
• Raymond Property (4026 West Club Blvd)
o Application lacks stated description of seawall work to be performed (B. 3. e.). There is an existing
seawall in place, and while repairs / maintenance (back filling and filter fabric) is necessary, replacement
is not needed. Please explain why a new wall is necessary.
o It should also be noted that pre-cast concrete blocks have been delivered on-site. Should pre-cast
concrete blocks be determined appropriate and approved, the Division of Water Quality requests that
Class B rip-rap be placed at the lake ward side of the wall to dissapate energy and provide habitat. Plan
details should reflect this.
• Scott and Anne Perper (1803 (Cold Mtn Rd)
o Stated purpose is to install 270 linear feet of seawall. On-site inspection shows an existing seawall is
already in place, and appears to be in good shape. Please explain why a new wall is necessary.

• Kapp Property (763 Blue Ridge Rd)
o Stated purpose is to install 70 linear feet of seawall. On-site inspection shows an existing seawall is
already in place, and while repair is necessary, replacement is not needed. Please explain why a new
wall is necessary and explain why proposed seawall would not follow existing shoreline.
• Elizabeth Glazebrook (716 N. East Shore Rd)
o Stated purpose is to install 393 linear feet of seawall. On-site inspection shows an existing seawall is
already in place, and while maintenance is necessary (install drainage through wall and back fill with
stone), replacement is not needed. Please explain why a new wall is necessary.
Please respond as quickly as possible such that these applications may be processed.
Best regards,
kevin
