Thank You Michelle,
Our beach is all sand and gravel and no native vegetation is removed or destroyed during our activities. We have no
plans to refine our procedure with ramps, rails, lifts or other construction. We try to take good care of our shoreline. It is
a very special place for us.
Thanks again, John Matthiesen and Rita Kepner

In response to your comments: Without further detailed review, it sounds like your boat launching activity conforms
with the current SMP, therefore, upon adoption of a new SMP that activity would be considered a legal, existing use
that is, indeed, 'grandfathered'. Should you want to install a different type of boat launch (i.e. ramp, rails or lift) the
1
provisions of the PDSMP (i.e. Article 7.2) would apply and a permit required. As stated in Article 1.2.A and 1.6.C, all
activities that occur in the shoreline area must comply with the Program whether or not a permit is required. One
consideration you might keep in mind for continuing your existing boat launching activity is Article 6.4 Vegetation
Conservation to ensure protection of native plants for habitat and shoreline stability.

Hello Michelle,
As longtime shoreline property owners we have been removing and replacing our boat from Kilisut Harbor via a 4
wheel beach dolly for many, many years now. We wish to know if this twice yearly (spring and fall) operation will be
affected by your program. This rubber-tired dolly is pulled up by a winch on the shore and down by an anchor attached
to the boat. No excavation or disturbance of the shoreline is necessary to do this. In the summer the boat is attached to
a permitted buoy offshore in front of our residence. Please let us know if your SMP has a problem with this. My wife
tells me this is a grandfathered use of the shoreline however having just returned from visiting Hawaii I hear this rule has
been overturned in the courts there in some cases and owners have been restricted from using their boat dollys.
Thank You, John Matthiesen and Rita Kepner
