Project Description
Please describe your proposed project.: | I am proposing to clear a 8 foot wide x 250 foot path to the shore of Brown's Bay from highway 65. There is an open area in the middle of the path that will not need clearing. I am proposing to remove small trees of less than 4" and scrub brush to provide access to a dock area. Dirt & grass will remain as a natural part of the path. My lot/frontage is 100 feet wide, and the path will be 12 feet from the nearest property line. The purpose is to create access to a new dock area on Brown's Bay. |
