Proposal

An application requesting a variance from the minimum seawall height requirements in order to repair the existing seawall along the property. The applicant seeks to repair an existing seawall with the lowest elevation at 4.48' NGVD instead of meeting the required minimum elevation of 5.56' NGVD.

From the Letter of Intent

Request for variance to allow existing seawall to remain at its current height of 4.5-4.7 feet NAVD instead of meeting the required minimum height of 5.7 feet NAVD. The seawall has been repaired and certified as structurally sound.
