Hi Doug,
Thanks for your email. Attached is the signed document.

Hello,
In reviewing the Buffer Authorization application you submitted, I had a few comments and questions.
First, if you would fill out and return the attached Catawba Riparian Buffer Form, that would be most
appreciated. I have attached it in two formats. Please fill out whichever one works best for you. Second, I
need to see a to -scale diagram of what you are planning on doing. Please include the length and width of
the walkway as well as how many square feet this walkway will impact in the buffer. I will also need
photos of the current condition of the buffer, for reference. Now it appears that your property was platted
prior to June, 3oth zoo', so that means you are only dealing with a 3o' buffer. Should you have any
questions, please feel free to reach out.
Thanks,
Doug Perez
