David,
I've started taking a look at this. The analysis still is lacking primarily in terms of the economic practicability.
Much in the same light as Swansboro Park I'm going to get the required ROI for the development and a
breakdown of the needed lots to support the determination that fill on all 14 and subsequent sale is required in
order to make the project feasible. Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.
Additionally just in terms of logistics and formatting when you submit additional information or clarification to
the 404 (b)(1) please do so in the document itself. In other words please submit a revised 404(b)(1) instead of
the question and answer format that has been done recently. In makes it difficult to piece things together
especially in the event that it becomes permitted and we draft the EA. Thanks David.

Good afternoon Kyle, Chad,
I've attached our response to Kyle's questions below and hope I've addressed the financial questions
sufficiently. Most applicants have been willing to work with us to produce the requested financial information
but many are concerned. Thus I've included what I was provided. As I'm still learning how best to address this
please let me know if you need additional information and I will do my best.
As you both know this permit has been through a number of Regulatory officers and much of the design is the
result of their comments and input.
If there are any specific questions you have please feel free call or e-mail me and I can likely find the e-mail or
meeting notes that support the reason for the layout or impact.
Thank you again for your time and assistance,
David A. Syster

Dana,
I have inherited this one from John,
I have several issues with the alternatives analysis that need to be addressed. This email constitutes a Request
for Additonal Information and an adequate response is required within 30 days otherwise the application will be
withdrawn
Project Purpose and Need
The project purpose as it pertains to the 404(b)(1) guidelines is not accurate, please revise this
statement
The project need is not accurate, please given a sufficient statement on the project need, not wetlands
impacts
2. Alternatives

The No Action alternative describes that not developing the lots would not be economically feasible.
This will need to be clarified and supported with sufficient documentation to justify the statement.
Additionally this analysis will need to support why all, and not just a portion of the proposed lots are needed.
Additionally what measures were analyzed that would make the lots potentially buildable without filling in of
jurisdictional waters.
Within the construction techniques alternatives section several sections exclude certain design due to
cost. This will need to be supported with sufficient documentation as well.
